Tara was amazing to work with. I had phone conversations with a couple photographers, but when speaking with Tara I felt such a good connection and vibe. Tara is so wonderful, kind and talented. She provided an environment for my husband and I to be comfortable when taking pictures. My husband does not love taking pictures and she was able to make it fun for both of us. I am not great and poses and she was able to guide us into positions she knew we would look best in. We got the engagement shoot as part of our package which was so lovely as an opportunity to meet her. On the day of the wedding, Tara was extremely organized coordinating with her counterpart and my videographer. I have only gotten the sneak peaks so far and I am loving every picture. I can't wait for the rest!!

Words cannot begin to describe how magical our wedding night was, and all the better thanks to Tara and her photographer assistant! Michael and I are always so pleased and amazed by Tara and her work! We just got our wedding sneak peeks and they are nothing short of amazing! The whole wedding day was exceptional and magical and we are so thankful that Tara is our go to photographer! So many of our loved ones told us what an amazing memory capturer she is! Thank you so much Tara for helping make our special day a memorable one, and going above and beyond for Michael and I! Until next time when we have some babies! Thank you!

As an out of state bride, Tara made all the planning super easy! It was an extra bonus that she was already friends and had worked with pretty much all of my other vendors many times before. She answered promptly and was super flexible working with some last minute changes. I would highly recommend Tara and her team! They were so much fun and great to work with, I can't say enough positive things. :)

Tara is AMAZING!!! From the first moment I spoke with her she made me feel like her only bride. She was there step by step and made everything seamless! The day of she is totally team bride. She puts you first and makes you feel beautiful! I can’t say enough about how great she is. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with capturing my most perfect day!! Thank you Tara!!!

Tara’s photos of our wedding day are what dreams are made of! When my husband and I received our photo gallery from Tara, we were absolutely blown away by the quality and magic of her photography. Tara is able to perfectly capture people’s spirits, joy, and love for each other on film – what a gift! By looking at these stunning photos, we are able to relive the most joyful day of our lives.

Tara Leinen’s gallery speaks for itself in sheer beauty. And Tara, herself, is a true joy to work with. I could not recommend her more highly! She has an incredibly artistic eye, a passion for what she does, a warmth in every interaction and person she speaks with, and steadfast professionalism.

Tara helped to make us, our family members, bridal party, and guests feel so comfortable in front of the camera. She expertly assisted us in creating a seamless photography timeline. She listened to our wants and needs and was mindful of our budget. Tara has an appreciation for the Southwest landscape, and -- as a fellow cactus-lover -- I knew I needed to hire her as our photographer the instant I saw her gorgeous wedding portraits with desert/saguaro backgrounds captured beautifully on her website. And when we met with Tara in person it further confirmed her talents, kindness, and professionalism.

Thank you, Tara! You are an incredible artist and any couple is truly lucky to work with you! I can’t wait to frame every single photo you’ve captured of our special day. They are the most beautiful photos I have ever seen.

We were lucky enough to snag Tara for our engagement photographer and we're SO glad we did. We absolutely loved working with Tara. The day of our scheduled shoot, it was insanely windy and hazy and I was super nervous that the pictures weren't going to come out right. Tara reassured me that they were looking great and kindly helped me feel less worried about my hair that was out of control with the wind. She made us feel so comfortable and so at ease. She was a dream to work with, enjoyable to be around, and the pictures are perfect. I'm obsessed with basically all of them as they are all amazing. Would recommend Tara in a heartbeat and the only reason we didn't have her as our wedding photographer was that we were married across the country.
