Captures the moments

Tanel truly captures the essence and energy of the room. We will be looking through those wedding pictures for the rest of our lives and be so happy to know that she captured these moments that will mean the world to us forever. She is reliable, super professional, and thoughtful. She thinks about the space, the event and the people. Tanel is my forever family photographer.

Humble and extremely amazing photographer

I only did one feature shot with her but her presence and vision is so palpable in a room that you just KNOW your photos will be amazing. She gives you a boost naturally to show your best self and let’s that shine be expressed in her work of you. Book her if you want the best !
