About

I am just an artist on an amazing journey. A wife, to my high school sweetheart, and mother to 2 incredible children. My family supports, inspires and helps direct my passion for what I do. I am blessed!

I fell in love with the visual arts at a very young age but never dreamed I would be where I am now. I remember the exact moment I decided to pursue photography as my career. It was one of the most defining days of my life. After an internship with an incredibly inspiring photographer and a college degree in photography in my pocket, I took a giant leap of faith and started NVS Photography and my journey began. Eighteen years later photography is the only real job I have ever known, and I am thankful every day. Finding your passion and making it your 'job' is a dream I now have for my children.

I have always taken my work seriously. Since having children I now truly understand what photographs mean to families. It is how we share the stories of our past, how we reflect on the life we have had, and how we rejoice and celebrate with others. I am truly honored to work with each and every couple that invites me into their lives to celebrate with them.

I hope to get a chance to talk to you about your upcoming wedding. I would love to be a part of it. Submit an inquiry to the right or send me a message above to learn more about my services!

Many Blessings to You and Yours,

Tami Carda

More than I could have asked for

Where to begin! We found NVS Photography and I couldn't be happier! Planning a wedding during Covid was stressful. I knew I wanted great photos, great food, and great flowers. I had a sort of vision in my head for our couple shots, but man did Tami blow our minds. She was flexible with us, helped us create our timeline to make sure all shots happened with the best light, and gave us recommendations on how to include my sister who wasn't able to travel.

The moment Tami comes in, she is warm and friendly and SO COMPETENT! She has this aura of "don't worry, I've got this" that puts you at ease and lets you just enjoy the process. Trusting your photographer is so important and you absolutely trust Tami. She is speedy with the family shots (you KNOW some family members struggle with those), and nails them. My 4 year old nephew just LOVED her and still remembers her name. My whole family raved endlessly about how amazing she was.

Then we got the pictures back (and quickly too!). Oh my gosh. I wept. It was more than I had ever expected. You sort of think, oh there will be like 3-5 clear winner pictures you want to print out and frame. I genuinely am overwhelmed with gorgeous photos I just want to display all over my home. She got personality shots of family and friends, and even a 1.5 year old.

I can't say enough good things about Tami, we will keep her included for all future life events and family pictures, and I will recommend her exclusively to any one who is looking for a phenomenal photographer.

11/09/19 wedding

Tami was incredibly professional and so easy to work with! She was quick to reply. Our photos look AMAZING. She caught the most beautiful images of us and our guests. The color, the backgrounds, everything, just perfection. We couldn’t be happier. I wish we would have booked her another hour just because of how happy we are with the photos... we did not want them to end :D

Minicozzi Wedding 2019

We are so thankful we chose NVS Photography for our wedding photography!! Tami and Josh are the best!!!! They both were beyond amazing to work with and are truly talented at their craft! Tami was so friendly, easy to contact and really cared about the style we envisioned for our wedding photos. She walked me through the day and the details of our wedding so that she and her husband could be prepared. She set up a timeline for the entire day considering the sunset time, which was extremely helpful for us, as it allowed us to coordinate with the Makeup/Hair Artists, DJ, Officiant and Coordinator to ensure everyone was on the same page and to help us stay on track. All throughout our wedding day, Tami and Josh went above and beyond to ensure that they captured everything including the really special moments, from all different angles. We couldnt be more pleased with the photographs they took of our wedding...they are truly a-m-a-z-i-n-g!! Thank you so much Tami and Josh!!

Thrilled with our photographer!

Tami was a perfect fit for what we were looking for in a photographer for our wedding. She was professional, timely, and offered suggestions when we needed it. She was also flexible to our requests, patient with our guests, and she took beautiful photos that we will cherish.

Tami is amazing

We had a quick engagement and a private ceremony of only 13 people and three infants. Tami was incredible in assisting with planning by offering her suggestions for a timeline to make sure we caught the sunset on the golf course as we imagined it. On the day of the wedding, Tami arrived early, and was ready to begin shooting at our start time. She was quick, efficient, and helped gather everyone at the appropriate times for pictures. She took pictures we didn't even realize she was snapping, and the candids are some of my favorites! She beautifully captured our personalities and all the emotions of our big day. I would highly recommend Tami and NVS Photography for your wedding- and I can't wait to use her for all our photography needs in the future! Thanks Tami!

Fantastic experience & stunning photos!

Tami is FANTASTIC! Our wedding day photos are absolutely stunning! (And so are the engagements!) Tami does a great job of capturing both the formal portraits and many candid / detail photos from the big event. It has been great to be able to relive our wedding through the photos, especially the smaller moments that can often go unnoticed. She was incredibly easy to work with and many of our attendees commented on how great Tami was, especially working with the group for portraits, paying attention to details (ie my long hair getting messed up in the wind), and capturing fun photos of our attendees throughout dinner and the reception. She was absolutely amazing to work with and helped to ensure our wedding day went off without a hitch!

Love Tami!

I used NVS Photography for my wedding and engagement photos and Tami made me and my husband feel at east through the entire process! Our wedding photos are still in process, but our engagement photos turned out amazing and her turnaround was very quick. She was able to capture some great moments and is extremely reasonable with pricing. I can't wait to use her again for our little Jupp family!

NVS Photography is Amazing!

We were beyond thrilled with our experience with NVS photography. Tami and Josh are an absolute pleasure to work with - fun and professional. They completely put us and our friends and family at ease throughout our day (which is saying something, since neither my husband or I likes having our picture taken)! Tami went above and beyond helping out in the time for the ceremony - she even made sure everyone had the appropriate boutonnieres!

Tami is clearly passionate about what she does, which shows in her work - the photos she took for our Sedona engagement shoot and wedding were gorgeous! She really makes good use of the surrounding environment for some creative and beautiful shots. She also takes your requests into account (my husband had many suggestions for the locations of some shots, and Tami was totally up for it).

We had many guests ask where we found our photographer because they were so impressed with Tami and Josh and the excellent service they provided. We will definitely be using NVS Photography for any of our future professional photography needs. You should too - you will not be disappointed!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
