About

When you work with Tara Draper Photography on your wedding day, you’re signing up for not only beautiful photos, but for a great friend and someone that will be there for you on one of the most important days of your life. I love capturing timeless and artistic images that incorporate emotion and beautiful light. Being a wedding photographer is my dream come true!

I have photographed over 200 and I enjoy everything about them. I love connecting with my clients on a personal level and I’m all about having a good time! Getting to know you and making your photography experience fun, enjoyable, and stress free is my number one priority! Over the years, I have found that the thing that sets me apart from most photographers is creating beautiful imagery that looks natural and has emotion and artistry by making people feel comfortable in front of the camera. It’s not easy being in front of the camera for most, but it’s my job to put you at ease and give you direction and I will always take the extra step to help you look and feel your best.

I am happy to be your veil fixer, dress fluffer, bouquet holder, shoulder to cry on, and dress bustler. Let me be there to help keep you focused on what truly matters. I’ll be there to capture all of those little moments, and create heirlooms that you, your spouse, and your family will cherish for a lifetime. As a wedding couple, you are my top priority and I will go out of my way to make sure you really do have the best day ever!

Amazing photos - do not hesitate to book her!

Tara was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding vendor team. I cannot count the number of compliments we have gotten from family, friends, coworkers, etc about our photos. They are amazing and truly capture our day! The colors are bright and beautiful and the variety of shots she got is remarkable. Tara was able to wrangle our rowdy bridal party with her hilarious, but pointed, directions of how she wanted us arranged which made photos go quickly and smoothly. Her prompts turned out some hilarious photos that I know will be my favorite for years and years to come. Our family portraits were also quick and painless and turned out beautifully! We did unfortunately miss a few groupings from our wedding preferences form for family pics and we forgot to exchange our pre-ceremony letters until about halfway through cocktail hour, but in the madness of the day, some small things are bound to slip through. Tara and her second shooter Lindsey both made everyone feel extremely relaxed and comfortable and they both were so very kind. I would recommend this team to anyone in the Wisconsin area if you want a lifetime worth of beautiful photos to remember your day.

Not just a photographer!

Tara and her 2nd shooter were incredible to work with. While we are so happy with how our photos turned out, they were so much more than just our photographers! From helping bustle my dress, taking Bobby pins from their own hair to help me fix my loose veil, to offering a spray deodorant refresh they were there for everything! Apart from the standard photos, they also were able to capture many beautiful photos of our friends and family! These photos will be cherished for years to come ❤️

Amazing Photographer!

Tara was wonderful! I worked with her at my sister's wedding so knew she was good but it wasn't until she photographed my own wedding that I really understood how good. She was so fun and easy to work with, communicated well, was direct when she needed to be (which was appreciated with a wedding party of 11 each side) and captured every awesome moment of the day. We were thrilled with how they all turned out. Not only was there great variety, but there were so many unique angles and shots that it's somewhat hard to choose! The editing is so natural and I would recommend Tara over and over!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
