Let's get straight to the point. TARA IS AMAZING! She was the first photographer I spoke to when I began my search, and immediately I wanted to say YES, but had to make sure I consulted with my husband haha. However, when he got on his first call to chat with Tara, he immediately said he understood why I loved her so much. She was such an amazing choice. She made our entire wedding season so easy, and meaningful. One, she understood the vision, and I knew on my wedding day she would capture the timeline moments I hoped for. She was our eyes for everything else happening on wedding day. She was also so helpful with us putting together a timeline that flowed, and also took into consideration our guests experience, which was top priority to us. Also, during our final call she reminded my husband and I to take time for each other during crazy wedding season to remember why we were so excited about this moment. She is more than a photographer. She has continued to exceed our expectations. We were even more surprised that they day after the wedding she delivered so many epic preview photos of the wedding. We are already so pumped, and now are worried that she has given us a problem of wanting to print ALL of our photos once we receive them all. haha. All jokes aside, I cannot stress how amazing she is, as well as her co-shooter Lauren. Tara has given us the gift of being able to look back at photos that truly captured the raw emotion and love shared on our wedding day. Big thanks!

Also...one more thing! She was the only photographer we met that offered and suggested an option of a package of capturing photos at our rehearsal dinner. We never thought about it, but when she shared getting to know our family the night before we loved that! We got to capture more intimate moments of our families joining in together. We are thankful that her packages are truly created with the thoughtfulness of what we will cherish forever.

We worked with Tara for a couple's session shoot in Orange County and the Inland Empire. We are from Orange County but we were so excited to explore the beautiful hills of Chino Hills State Park for our photo session! Tara was very responsive to our questions and provided us with every detail we needed to make the photo session as stress-free as possible. We are an introverted couple but Tara made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera that we often forgot she was there! Our pictures came out so beautiful and we cannot wait to work with Tara again!

Tara and Stephen are a phenomenal couple to work with. They take the time to truly get to know their clients and the vision they have for their wedding. Their expertise shines through their photos, which are absolutely flawless. I would absolutely recommend them!!

Tara (& Stephen) are the best photography duo. They made the entire experience amazing - from thoughtful messages to great photo coaching to the most professional handling of everything that comes at you as a wedding photographer, they were the best. We absolutely loved our engagement photos and are looking forward to having our wedding photos to remember our day for years to come. Tara and Stephen truly feel like friends we've had forever, and their talent for taking beautiful photos is unmatched. Hiring Pattengale Photography was the best decision we made in wedding planning.

Pattengale photography was an absolute dream to work with. They went above and beyond to make sure our day was just right. They are extremely organized, friendly, talented and just fun to work with!

My wife and I had a wonderful experience working with Tara and her team. I don't have a tone of experience with wedding photographers, but I couldn't image having a better one for our wedding day. Tara made sure to keep in touch with us and sent friendly reminders to keep us in track for our wedding. She made sure we included all of the pictures we wanted, and the ones we didn't know we wanted. Tara also went above any beyond helping us setup our timeline before the wedding. Our wedding planner got off track from our timeline once during our wedding day and Tara was quick to fix the hiccup. I can't say enough about Tara, Stephen and their team. We have recommended them to friends and everyone has had glowing reviews.

Tara and Stephen were (and still are!) incredible to work with. From the very first emails and the first Skype sesh, we knew we were going to make the right choice!! They really helped pull our vision together - with their advice on personal and stylistic touches - and then documented exactly as we imagined!!! They are such a sweet, personable, and professional husband and wife team that I wilil recommend to anyone and everyone!!!!!

Pattengale Photography captured our beach wedding in July, utilizing the beach landscape. Tara has an artistic eye and an ability to tell a story through pictures. The pictures allowed family and friends who weren't at the wedding to even feel like they were there at our wedding. Our photographers provided the necessary structure to our laid back wedding in order to provide us with the pictures of family and friends that are an important piece of being able to remember the day.

I'm so glad I chose Pattengale Photography for my wedding. Tara and Stephen captured the day and wrote a blog post that helped me relive it later. I never felt rushed or on a schedule. Everything was about enjoying the day and capturing my love on camera. Tara was always available for phone calls as I planned the day or as I have ordered pictures after the day. Tara has made me feel very special and even sent me a package of pictures 5 months after my wedding day.

My wife and I loved Pattengale Photography. They helped us understand the meaning of legacy and how photography isn't just art but a way to communicate across time. I love how they made us feel taken care of.
