5 stars! Would recommend over and over again!

Taran and Ines were absolutely amazing, and we cannot recommend them enough! From the beginning, they were extremely thoughtful and professional, putting together a package for us based on our needs. As we got closer to our wedding day, they had excellent communication and helped us put together a timeline that balanced all the shots we wanted with all the little details we didn't even think about. On our wedding day, we had three separate ceremonies, and they were so professional and efficient throughout, keeping track of the timeline, making sure they got through our extensive shotlist, helping us pose, and suggesting nice scenic areas to take photos. They delivered photos ahead of their promised timeline, and we are blown away by how beautiful the photos are, and how the spirit of our day was captured throughout the photos. Neither I nor my husband are what we consider "photogenic" people but thanks to their expertise, our photos turned out better than we could have imagined!

We could not say more about Taran & Inessa! They came recommended to us by one of our friends who used them for their wedding and boy were the amazing. We worked with Taran for our engagement pictures and for our reception and absolutely loved every picture. Their communication, expertise and professionalism is outstanding. Not to mention, they are the kindest and sweetest people. Would absolutely work with them over and over again! You need them!!!

Best photographers EVER! 💗

Taran and Ines were so incredible. From the first moment we chatted on the phone, to engagement photos and then to our big day, they were by our side every step of the way. You can tell Taran is very professional,
Flexible, and works well with his wife! Their work was so stunning. He knew exactly what to tell myself and the entire wedding party to look great! He delivered such a beautiful gallery of our big day so quickly! I can’t stop looking at these photos. His style is timeless and perfect. Thank you both so much

A Fantastic Experience with an Incredible Team of Photographers. Highly recommend!

I rarely write reviews, but I write an honest 5 star review for Nature Photography because they earned it. I hired Nature Photography for my wedding and I was very happy I did. Taran and Ines exceeded my expectations. I expressed all my specific requests and they went above and beyond to achieve my goals. The pictures turned out amazing. They were able to capture portraits, candid moments, decorations, food and all the emotions happening at my wedding. They have excellent communication skills and are very efficient. They made it easy for me I appreciated them for doing that. They captured memories that we will cherish for a lifetime. What a great team of photographers. Thank you both!

Wedding Nature was amazing!

Taran and Ines were absolutely awesome, and we were so thrilled to have them there capturing our most special moments of our wedding in Westlake Village! They were wonderful to work with and took the most amazing and artistic photos! The happiness, joyful, and dynamic energy shines through in all their shots; and the aesthetics, colors, angles, etc turned out more gorgeous than we could have imagined!

From our first experience with Taran and Ines, they were incredibly professional, approachable, and kind. They were quick to respond to all communications, and managed to make a stereotypically stressful and busy time feel more relaxed and manageable. They worked with us closely to achieve our vision and to make the wedding photography experience comfortable and fun, from our engagement shoot through the day and evening of the wedding.

We highly recommend you go with Wedding Nature Photography for any event you have, we will definitely be booking them again for future photoshoot

Incredible Experience - Highly Recommend!

We recently had Taran shoot our small SB wedding at the SB Courthouse Mural Room. The photos turned out absolutely incredible - there were SO many amazing shots and the editing was perfect. My absolute favorite were all the candid shots. I had so many of my friends and family say they didn't even notice him yet he captured all these incredible moments of intimacy, joy and excitement. Taran was so professional and kind, very easy to work with - from organizing details before the wedding through the entire wedding day. I could not recommend him more highly.
