Tara is incredible!

I absolutely loved having Tara as our wedding photographer and I can't say enough wonderful things about her. She is professional, organized, experienced, and SUCH a calming presence on the day-of the wedding. She has an amazing eye and was so encouraging throughout our day so my husband and I felt really comfortable (despite the chaos around us!). She's the absolute best and I'm obsessed with our wedding photos.

Personal, Professional & Talented - Bar none!

When we were researching photographers for our wedding, I wanted to find someone whose photos told a beautiful story from start to finish. I found Tara through raving reviews online and after our initial meeting, she made her way out to Washington DC to shoot our engagement pictures. One pandemic and a full calendar year and some change later, we met again for our wedding day in Cleveland, Ohio. Words cannot express how wonderful Tara and Matt were. Tara's serene demeanor and Matt's easy-going personality made our wedding day a breeze. I very distinctly remember calling her two days before to iron out last-minute changes on my part and telling her how much calmer I was just hearing her voice. Tara has a way of capturing memories in the most beautiful way. Her photos are not only gorgeous, but looking at one single photo, she captures the energy and emotion in that moment. It's very clear she takes much pride in her work and treats her clients as family. There is no one else Jonathan and I would trust to capture the most precious and important memories in our lives than Tara.

Beyond my expectations!

Tara came into our lives very serendipitously and we could not have been more relieved or happier that she did! After our own photographer had to cancel on our three-day Indian wedding event a week prior, Tara stepped in and saved the day. I am very detailed oriented so I wanted a photographer who would be able to digest and deliver on the details that were important to us (especially the cultural ones). We had two meetings set up that very week to discuss those details, and Tara embraced all of them in stride. I could tell that she had researched Indian weddings. When Tara showed up to our events it felt like we had been planning with her over the last two years. She is professional, kind, and made her presence at each event very discreet (in the best way). It felt like she was a part of our family all weekend. The photographs are absolutely stunning. We have so many favorites, I’m at a loss as to how to choose which ones to put on the walls or fit them into a single album. Her website is truly representative of the quality of her work. We give Tara our highest recommendation. We will definitely be continuing to have her photograph our family.

An absolute dream

Tara is a dream to work with!! She makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera and does such a great job directing without making you feel posed. Her sessions are relaxed and fun and so special! She really listens to get to know you and personalize the experience to truly capture you and your partner! The final product of her pictures are always such a joy to see, she puts such artistry into the shots and editing that they will just blow you away. All the love and happiness shine through her photos!

Amazing, amazing, amazing!

Tara was everything and more then we could hope for in our photographer. She captured our engagement pictures perfectly, despite the cold weather that day, and made them so memorable. For our wedding (July 2020), she worked with us to make sure all of the moments we wanted were planned for and put us at ease about the day. I could not recommend Tara enough - she is not only a phenomenal photographer, but
also genuine and caring. Tara is easy to communicate with, eager to explain things, and incredible at what she does. We plan on having any future pictures taken by Tara!

Our love is perfectly captured

We were lucky enough to stumble across Tara. We were overjoyed to have he be a part of our day. She perfectly captured our love for each other and each special moment during our big day. I’m so blessed to now have these photos to cherish for a lifetime. Tara was so easy to work with, she so organized and made sure we kept things moving during photos and got all the shots! Her attention to detail is impeccable and it really shows in the shots she got! I’m so excited to continue showing off our photos to friends and family. My guests and other vendors raved about how polite she was and how she was incredibly easy to work with. We are so excited to be using Tara again next year to capture our vow renewal with friends and family!

Wonderful photographer and person!

Tara was fantastic both during our engagement session and day of the wedding. She and her crew were with us all day, helping us to feel comfortable but on task. She focused on detailed shots, posed, and candid! We have only seen our sneak peek but are excited to view the rest. Tara is an absolute pleasure to work with.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
