Aside from the man I married, Tara was easily the best decision we made in planning our wedding. I have seen my fair share of wedding photos, and they always look “nice,” but Tara is out of this world. She is so talented, so artistic, and so incredible – I realize I am biased, but I honestly think that our photos are some of the best wedding photos that I’ve ever seen. We received countless compliments, and family members who are usually impossible to please can’t stop gushing about how wonderful the photos are. From the bridal party, so the ceremony, to our lively reception, she captured every moment of our day in a perfect mix of portraits and editorial, and we feel so lucky to have found her. Her photos will be our favorite wedding keepsake for the rest of our lives.

Aside from her incredible talent (you can see a few of our photos here: http://tarawelchphotography.com/sarah-braden-carlyle-club-wedding-sneak-peek/), she has a great personality. She is laid back, fun, and personable, and as a bride full of nerves, having her nearby calmed me down and gave me the confidence that everything was going to turn out beautifully. She handled the stress of photographing my giant blended family (parents, stepparents, cousins, siblings, etc) without batting an eye, and did not miss a single shot we wanted to capture.

Another great benefit of working with Tara is that she gives you full rights to your photos – she literally sends you a thumb drive with the images, so you can make as many prints as you would like for years to come. For us, this was a huge added value.

I can’t say enough good things about Tara. Choosing her as your photographer will be the best decision you make in your wedding planning process.

Listen up ladies, Tara Welch is the best kept secret in DC wedding photography! I am so lucky I snatched her up when I did and I HIGHLY recommend her if you are in the dc metro area.

In the overwhelming sea of photographers in this area it is easy to be confused about who to hire. Considering how many choices there are I am SO grateful I found Tara. Of all the vendors I hired for my wedding I am most happy about choosing her!

Tara photographed my May wedding, as well as my engagement photos. Her work is stunning and I am so thrilled with the final product. The photos were exactly what I was hoping for and I have gotten many, many compliments on them from my relatives and friends. They are beautiful, artistic, and timeless. Yet, the pictures were not at all generic. She captured both the intensity of the love we felt and the happy, sometimes even silly spirit of our wedding day. From talking with them, that seems to be what my family and friends are so touched by and I have to agree . My hat is really off to her.

As for her demeanor (and this is important) Tara is an absolute pro. She was always on time, reliable, relaxed and flexible. She managed to always be prepared yet able to go with the flow, in order to get the best shot.

These qualities are so, so important in a wedding photographer - after all, they are the person who will be sharing some of the most intimate moments of your big day, more so than most of your friends and family. She kept me calm and cheerful, even when I was feeling jittery and nervous.

Not to mention, Tara is the queen is special touches. At several different points throughout our year working together she made us cookies, sent us special gifts, I mean come on. Who doesn't love that?

Her pricing is very reasonable and fit the tricky budget I had to work with. Considering how inflated DC prices can be that was a huge relief. After seeing our finished wedding photos we realized what an incredible value we had gotten.

My husband and I have already talked about hiring her again in the future. She is an absolute gem. I hope she sticks around for a long time!

I came across Tara Welch Photography when I was searching for wedding vendors in Virginia. Tara was quick to respond and patient with my MANY pictures I sent in emails as "examples" of what I wanted. The pictures of us were the #1 most important aspect of our wedding to me. I wanted them to be perfect! She was incredibly flexible since my fiance was stationed overseas & we were not 100% sure when he would be home. Since she knew this she even reserved the following weekend for us just as a precaution just in case he was not here by our actual wedding date and we had to reschedule. Fortunatley, he did arrive on time and our wedding captured even better than I had imagined it would be. She made us both feel very at ease since we are not currently models (haha) and lacked the ability to know which direction to look and when. She took direction without being bossy or rude and made the whole experience FUN and enjoyable. She was excited about my own random ideas instead of intimidated by them. I have told everyone I know about Tara Welch Photography...even waitresses I have never met before. If you choose Tara- you have chosen to have the wedding pictures, service, and memories you've always wanted your wedding to have!
