About

My role is to capture your story. Every shot, every moment, is important.

MY STORY AND YOUR STORY

My fascination with the craft of photography started when I was 10 years old. I am tuned in to the energy of those around me. The way I see it, the people and the world around us could change at any moment to reveal something extraordinary.

I try to be ready to capture that magic. When I started photographing weddings, I realized how carefully you need to observe a couple – the complexity and purity of their feelings and the connection they share.

My role is to record that unfolding story. Every shot, every moment, is important to the story. I kindly ask the couple to forget about me and to just enjoy the day – I’ll make sure to capture everything.

TANARAK PHOTOGRAPHY is a wedding photography business based in San Francisco, California. They understand that weddings fly by and know the importance of capturing all of the details. As an international and award-winning photographer, owner Tanarak has captured countless weddings and worked with over 400 couples. His experience and expertise allow him to give his clients only the best in visual photography for their wedding day.

Amazing Photos

We hired Tanarak Photography for our engagement photos and wedding photos. Tanarak was amazing - he provides candid shots that capture authentic emotions.

In our engagement photos, Tanarak was great at both staged and candid shots. We had two locations in San Francisco - the Palace of Fine Arts and Lover's Lane. We had two outfits. Tanarak was patient and spent more than the allotted time and captured beautiful shots.

We had a Fall wedding and it was everything we hoped for. Tanarak was on time and took so many photos throughout the day. He took photos while we were getting ready and captured our first looks. Then he took wedding party photos. For family photos, Tanarak was efficient and allowed us to enjoy cocktail hours.

Tanarak provided our photographs within a few weeks of the wedding. Furthermore, the photos are beautiful. He captured our emotions, and his pictures have allowed us to relive the best days of our lives. We definitely would recommend Tanarak as a photographer.

Wedding photographer

He is a very great photographer and knows all the moments to capture even the ones we didn't think of. We didn't have a videographer but the pictures capture our wedding like a story.

Best experience!

Writing my highest recommendation for Tanarak!
Working with Tanarak was incredibly stress-free. Communication was timely and clear. He was attentive and took into consideration what we prioritized most on our wedding day, and it showed in his work. Our friends and family raved about the photo gallery from Tanarak — he was completely unobtrusive throughout the wedding yet somehow truly captured every special moment of our wedding day.
The quality of his work is phenomenal and we were happily surprised with how many candid moments he caught! Beyond that, he’s a genuinely great person to work with — we could not have asked for a better experience.

Perfect capture of your special day

Searching for a wedding photographer is probably one of the most daunting tasks in a huge list of things to prep before the wedding. Tanarak was extremely helpful and patient during our search and interviews with different photographers around the area and we are so happy to have trusted him with our everlasting memories!

During our engagement shoot, Tanarak graciously gave us tips and helped hold our belongings even as he leaped and climbed over treacherous terrain to get the perfect shot. He even let us go a little overtime to get the right lighting from the sun. We were nervous about being photographed but were quickly put at ease and had a lot of fun with Tanarak's easygoing nature. However if you're expecting a lot of posing tips, he may not be the photographer for you. He gives minimal instructions, but on the plus side you will get a lot of beautiful candid moment type shots, which luckily was the style we wanted.

On the wedding day, Tanarak was professional and calm despite the less than ideal lighting (we had a noon ceremony with harsh sunlight and later afternoon completely overcast), not to mention multiple locations for him to run between in the morning. If you're looking for a journalistic style and quick eye/reaction time to catch candid moments of raw emotions, look no further. Tanarak is a pro!

Amazing Photos

Tanarak took our photos for our COVID wedding and we couldn't be more pleased. He was very professional, safe, and took shots that I didn't even think of. I highly recommend him if you live in the Bay Area!

The Master

Tanarak is truly professional and artistic and can grasp the mood of the evening very quickly. His work is of high quality and what i love about him is that he doesn't take the standard photos and will spend effort in capturing truly special moments. He has made a real difference to our wedding. thank you so much.

I was working in the wedding photography industry for a short while. Once we set our own wedding date, we did not think of any other options but only Tanarak. Luckily he was available for our big date.

He captured all the moments and details of the place, vibe and people for our wedding without even noticing he was there... Tanarak was easy to work with from pre-wedding communication to finished product received. Thanks Tanarak!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
