Before we chose Tammy and Mark to be our wedding photographers, we searched high and low and met or emailed with a number of photographers. Some wanted us to hire them after responding to some general questions. Others didn't even bother speaking to us further after I shared with them our wedding picture budget. Our wedding pictures were obviously a top priority, so extensive research was necessary. I immediately fell in love with Tammy and Mark's style--creative and effortless. They were both so receptive, listened to what we wanted, and made sure to accommodate our "must haves." They never pushed on us a particular package, and it was clear to me that they truly cared about making our day a special one. From our first meeting to the day we received our beautiful wedding album, Tammy and Mark made us feel comfortable and captured the perfect moments that mattered. They are amazing, and you won't be sorry if you hire them!

Tammy & Mark were fantastic! We had a small wedding (only 12 guests), so it was really important that we found photographers who could fit in with friends and family. They listened to what was important to us and made sure that we got the shots we were looking for. Thank you, Tammy & Mark!

My husband and I were hesitant on splurging on photographers for our wedding, but friends and family encouraged us to so that we could relive the day. I'm so glad we did and I could not have asked for a better result. The day was captured as I had hoped. As a new bride, I had no idea where to begin, but Tammy and Mark helped a great deal with all of our questions. They were amazing to work with. We have gotten nothing but compliments from all of our friends and family.
Thank you so much! I'm referring you guys to all my friends and family who will be getting married in the future!

We had the wonderful opportunity to work with Tammy and Mark on our engagement and wedding photos. They were professional and flexible - we left all the locations and directions to them because they have incredible attention to detail and creativity. Prior to our wedding day, they worked closely with our wedding planner to create a schedule that wouldn't overwhelm us. Our wedding day was a blissful blur and we couldn't have asked for a better team to capture some of the biggest moments in our lives.

There are so many reasons to rave about Memoire Studio Photography. You want pictures you can look back on in 20 years and say really captured the moment and aren’t outdated. Memoire provides this. Mark’s style is more editorial and Tammy’s is more journalistic. Both are stunning. They will capture glamour and stylistic pictures as well as heartfelt and emotional shots. At the initial meeting, they take notes on what you want, which is great so you don’t have one more thing to remember on your wedding day. My husband and I are both really shy, and we felt totally comfortable getting photographed. Mark and Tammy are understated: they don’t take over your special day but they work with a purpose; they are humble but they have a clear vision; and they listen to what you want and offer their experience.

My husband and I were both impressed by Mark and Tammy’s lighting, which any photographer will tell you makes or breaks a picture and how a person can look in a picture. Some of our locations had high contrast lighting, a photographer’s nightmare. Mark and Tammy’s pictures kept us looking fresh and natural, though we stood in shadows while under a bright sky. All of our pictures looked so natural and nothing was overdone or too airbrushed. So many photographers have a tendency to bleach out photos, an easy way for them to make you look better, but it loses the details and are overly stylized/trendy. Also, Mark and Tammy pain-stakingly edited out flaws in pictures (like my hanger dress straps that peeked out of my backless dress). Overall, Memoire’s style is to make sure you look like a beautiful but natural you on your special day.

Memoire’s quality is unsurpassable, their cost is very reasonable, and best of all, you’ll feel like they have become part of your family.

As a former Wedding & Event planner I know how even the littlest details matter. Photography was very important to us and I instantly feel in love with the work from Mark & Tammy. I can't get over how amazing our wedding photos turned out! The creativity and artistry is stunning. Tammy and Mark were so easy and wonderful to work with. I highly recommend Memoire Studio Photography!

Tammy and Mark are absolutely phenomenal. For my husband and myself, our photographers were the most important thing to our wedding - we were spending so much money on this day that we definitely wanted amazing pictures to remember them by. They were patient, understanding, and accommodating to our crazy personalities, lack of creativity, and particular needs. After the initial inquiry, we were not able to retain them because of constricted finances. I followed up with them two months later, after rearranging the budget, and was so enthralled that Tammy and Mark would be our wedding photographers.

They perfectly captured our personalities at our engagement shoot - that was really the only wish we had. They are so creative, and set up amazing, beautiful shots with such stylish flair. And, working with them is a blast. They are natural in guiding you; they're kind, considerate, and also have excellent senses of humor.

On our wedding day, they were so efficient and comprehensive. I know 100% that they captured every single important moment. During the day, I couldn't stop thanking them for being there because I just knew that our special day was in their hands.

I was very pleased with our engagement photos, and our wedding photos! They truly did an amazing job documenting the day in the most comprehensive and stylistic way possible. I would recommend Tammy and Mark to the fullest extent possible :)

I can't say enough wonderful words about how wonderful it was to work with Tammy & Mark. Not only do they produce AMAZING photos, they were such a pleasure to work with. From our very first meeting, to the engagement photo session, to our actual wedding day and beyond they are professional but friendly. I felt like they became involved in our story without being intrusive or were not even noticeable on the day of the wedding. They captured so many sweet and tender moments of our wedding day, I still find myself tearing up over their amazing ability to capture the emotion of the day in photographs. Truly spectacular photographers. I can't thank them enough!

Tammy and Mark are amazing photographers who captured our wedding in such a beautiful, artistic, and natural light. Photography was a very important aspect of the wedding for us, and I searched very diligently to find the best photographers for our special day. Tammy and Mark have such a unique talent for capturing all the special moments of our wedding and the love between my groom and I as well as our guests and family. The artistry they capture with each photo has blown us away. We got married in San Francisco, so my husband and I wanted photos on the trolley, near the ocean, and with backgrounds of the golden gate bridge, and Tammy and Mark made all of that happen on our wedding day! Their presence throughout the wedding day was peaceful and supportive, and they had a special way of sensing the truly beautiful moments of our day. They also created a stunning wedding photo book for us that I was able to edit to my liking that we will treasure forever. I cannot say enough amazing things about Tammy and Mark- you would be blessed to have them as your photographers!!

Mark and my big sister actually attended the same high school in San Jose, Costa Rica, and also the same University. We lived literally 3 blocks away in Costa Rica - fast forward nearly 2 decades, to my pleasant surprise Mark & his wife Tammy are wedding photographers capturing love from the Bay Area and beyond [South America to Asia!] I always admired Husband + Wife wedding photographers because of the synergy and dynamic that is unique to them, but together they combine their strengths and passion in order to produce a strong collective work for each client. I had the pleasure to work with Mark + Tammy for a beautiful bridal editorial at Kohl Mansion, and I cannot be more pleased with the results of our teamwork! During the shoot, we encountered a lot of unexpected challenges, but despite the odds stacked up against us, Mark + Tammy delivered show-stopping images in a short amount of time that myself and the participating vendors were looking for! It was also great to have the opportunity to watch them in action at the photo shoot - Tammy is climbing, flat on the floor, moving like a ninja to make sure to get the best angle. Mark scouts for the composition, and make sure to get the best lines and shapes in each frame. They are quick on their feet, and they make the shots happen very organically. Both Mark + Tammy captures the light in a magical way, but they see through the lens differently; Tammy's images captures the subjects best beauty angles, and the skin is always glowing, and Mark's images have that show-stopping composition that makes you stop and admire the image. As a client, you will get a collective of both perspectives, and ALL beautiful images! I guarantee that you will be happy with your wedding photos if you hire them!
