About

Tara Kearsing Photography is an engagement and wedding photography service located in Poughkeepsie, New York.

Hi! I'm Tara, the lead photographer and only person you will be talking to when you work with me! I provide clear expectations, prompt communication, and tons of guidance (on top of amazing photos!!!). You'll be able to relax on your wedding day knowing that you can trust me to capture what is most important to you.

My Approach

  • Let's figure out what you picture when thinking about your wedding day
  • Create a detailed timeline and list of requested images
  • Capture real, authentic moments as you remember them
  • Help keep everyone on schedule and give you reminders throughout the day (like when there's an awesome sunset or making sure the bride's dress is ready for the first dance).
  • I want you to see me more as a friend than your "professional photographer". I want us to feel comfortable around each other and especially for you to feel free to express yourselves!

My Style

  • I will pose you for portraits, leave you alone for candids, and give some small direction to make my vision come to life
  • Capturing various viewpoints and details of your day to create a photographic diary
  • I want every photo you receive to look amazing! I review and edit every photo that I deliver to make sure it is up to my standards
  • My edits are true color which means they will look like it did on the day of your wedding (with a litte pizzaz)

All Expectations Met & More :-)

Tara gets five stars all around! She was so eager to reach out to me when I first requested her photography services, and her responses to all emails throughout our correspondence were helpful, professional, and arrived quickly. Tara genuinely cared about us and what we wanted. Our in-person meeting was so helpful, and really helped instill my confidence in her skills. She arrived early to the ceremony, and took such beautiful pictures. She had so many great ideas, and we will cherish our special day through the images she captured for years to come.

Wedding Pictures!

Tara was amazing. She was attentive, kind and made taking pictures a great experience. My now husband, hates getting his picture taken, and she worked so well with him, that he took every picture with a smile on his face. I am planning to have Tara photograph us again for our Wedding BBQ celebration and we can NOT wait. If you are looking for a wedding photographer, look no further than Tara. She will make your day amazing, and you will cherish your photos forever. I am so thankful that I found her.

Book with Tara, she is AMAZING!

I can't speak highly enough about Tara! I knew she was the one I wanted to photograph from the moment I saw the photos on her beautiful website. From our first email, she was thorough and knowledgeable and answered any and all silly questions I had. My husband and I had so much fun getting to know her even better during our first consult, where she really took us through the entire day and made sure she had a list of every formal photo we wanted to take and got a feel for our special day. And on the day of, she was professional and fun and helped all the guests have fun and relax. She gave clear direction and she guides you through the formal photoshoots quickly and easily. She knows exactly how to stay on schedule, and she worked beautifully with our videographer, whom she had never met before! And during the reception, she blended into the background and took some amazing candids. And if you are planning on doing a sparkler send off, DO IT! She took amazing photos with the sparklers. Everyone told me how much they loved her and how much fun she was. She knew exactly when and where to take photos. We got our sneak peaks back the next day and we couldn't believe how stunning they are! We are so excited to get the rest of our photos. Book with Tara!!!
