    Extremely Impressed!!

    My friend recommended Tamara to be my wedding photographer because she used her for her wedding and absolutely loved her. She told me that hiring Tamara was the best part of her wedding. I hired Tamara for my wedding and I completely agree with my friend – Tamara was the best decision EVER! She arrived to the venue early to allow enough time to set up and scope out the venue. She is so fun and easy to work with and she has a very artistic angle that allows for capturing the perfect and most unique shots. She made everyone feel comfortable which allowed for more natural poses. Tamara also brought an assistant to help her take some candid shots, Sarah, and Sarah was also amazing! Tamara has a pure talent that is very evident in her passion and her work. She would randomly get a vision about a shot that she wanted to take and she would make it happen and it turned out SO INCREDIBLE! I felt a little weird posing for some of the pictures because that is just not in my nature, but when Tamara showed me some of the shots on her camera I knew I could trust her! She made everyone look amazing with her flattering photos and I cannot wait to see all of the rest of our wedding photos! I will definitely be using Tamara again in the future and I would recommend her to anyone and everyone who is looking for an AMAZING photographer!!!!

    I do not have enough great things to say about Tamara! From the very beginning, Tamara was more than helpful. She is super friendly and was eager to help plan the perfect day for me. On the day of the wedding, Tamara was on and ready to go. Once I was in my dress and we were shooting, Tamara made me feel like an absolute model! I could see how excited she was and it resonated into me. She has leaked a couple of photos so far and I am obsessed! I cannot wait to see the rest of them! I highly recommend Tamara and if I am in California again would definitely use her!

    I reached out to Tamara for our wedding photography. We exchanged emails and she was willing to work with my budget. I ended up using her for make up as well. We also decided later that we wanted engagement photos done since we’ve never been professionally photographed and wanted to get a sense of feeling comfortable. I loved my make up and our photos were great! We felt super comfortable with her! When our wedding day came, she did my make up and a couple of my bridesmaids. We had so much fun at the wedding and she really captured the atmosphere of our wedding in our pictures so we can remember how we felt that day! Highly recommend and I look forward to have more photo sessions with her in the future!

    Tamara was an absolutely amazing makeup artist!! She was so responsive and enthusiastic in her emails, which I loved! She was also very open to me sending her pictures in advance of the look I wanted for my wedding. On my wedding day, she arrived early to the hotel venue and was ready to go. She was so pleasant to be around, easy to talk to, and such a pro at her job! I treated my new in-laws to makeup for the day, and each looked so amazing! Although it felt like a lot more makeup than I usually wear, Tamara was right in assuring me that it would look better in pictures. She is also a photographer, so it was a huge advantage for her to know how the makeup would translate to photographs. I would highly recommend Tamara for makeup, she is so much fun and does excellent work!

    Tamara is the best!! She's the only one I trust to photograph my family and actually get amazing shots!! Even with a screaming 2 year old. She has also photographed my sister's wedding which was beautiful, my maternity and newborn pics and the images are priceless and I will cherish always. We love her and highly recommend to everyone.

    Amazing person and photographer! My husband and I are so so happy we found her. She's so easy to work with and made us feel at ease. If we lived in the west coast we would use her for all our photograph needs! We love you Tamara!! <3

    Tamara was everything and more! We interviewed upwards of 10 photographers, and Tamara was the last one we interviewed. Immediately we felt a connection with her that we did not feel with the other photographers. Her vision and artistic sense are really what made our photos. She made us feel completely comfortable and at ease, and made the effort to get to know us to allow for our personalities and the uniqueness of our love to shine through in each photo. From the engagement photos, to my boudoir shoot, to the wedding, we have formed a deeper relationship with Tamara than simply just a vendor. This will be a long-term relationship, and we look forward to Tamara being our permanent family photographer. I also love how she works with her family - her father, who we had the pleasure of meeting, is a wedding officiant, and her mother makes stunning headpieces. Tamara is also an incredible makeup artist, which = free touchups throughout your wedding night! She was so willing to try new things, from the rain on our outdoor boudoir shoot and a very close encounter with a snake, to the thunder storms on our wedding night, she was always up for anything! We never once doubted our choice when it came to Tamara, and we were always confident in her ability to capture what we were hoping for!

    Tamara was our photographer and my makeup artist for my wedding day. She is very sweet and professional! She was willing to work with us and what we were looking for and we knew from the moment we met her we wanted her to work with us. She is artistic and creative with the shots and brings lots of energy and enthusiasm to the photo shoots! She also knows what makeup will look good in person and on camera. Our families loved her too! We definitely recommend her and were very happy she was part of our special day! :)

    Face On By Tamara did an AMAZING job for our October wedding in Temecula!

    Tamara and her crew arrived on location early the day of the wedding and immediately got to work. Prior to my arrival FOBT had already covered areas on location for "photo-worthy" shots and created a plan/timeline for the entire day/evening. No instruction needed- Tamara is clearly passionate about her work.

    I was at such ease throughout the "getting ready" photos- mainly due to FOBT helping me to relax and focus on enjoying the day. Tamara was making me laugh and smile all while maintaining professionalism and capturing the most beautiful and heartfelt photos.

    From pre-ceremony to the end of the reception, FOBT captured the love between friends and family all while being gracious, joyous, and professional. My husband and I are so happy with all of our photos and we are so thankful for choosing Face On By Tamara.

    Tamara is so awesome! I hired her to do my engagement and wedding photography and makeup. She is super friendly and personable. After the wedding, the girls in my wedding party asked how I knew her since they thought I'd known her for years but the truth is I just met her a few months ago when my wedding festivities began! I think this is super important when it comes to photography because you want someone that you feel comfortable with! Tamara has a lot of experience as well and she knows how to pose you to make you look your best!

    Tamara was our photographer for our engagement and wedding photos. We absolutely LOVE her, her creativeness, and her professionalism. From the minute we contacted her until the time we were through with our wedding photos, she was attentive and responsive to all of our questions and needs. She was quick to get back to us and that meant a lot. We could not have asked for a better photographer for our wedding. It was nice that she is so creative, so I didn't have to worry about getting the pictures I wanted. She seemed to know what would work and took charge, it was one less thing for me to worry about. She took the most amazing pictures, we were thrilled with all of them, and could not ask for more. Tamara is an amazing person, photographer, and was a pleasure to work with. We will continue to use Tamara in the future for all of our major life events.

    Tamara was so much fun to work with. She made me feel so comfortable and confident in front of the camera. It was like having a friend behind the camera. It was a blast and the photographs are more then I could have imagined. I would recommend her to all my friends an family.

    Tamara is nothing but amazing! From her pictures to her down to earth personality; Tamara was fabulous. She made my husband and I feel so comfortable while shooting our wedding photos. My husband does not do great in front of a camera but she made him feel like we were just shooting pictures with a friend acting silly and having a lot of fun. Her work shows her passion. They photos she took are gorgeous and well beyond what I pictured. She captured our big take perfectly. I highly recommend Tamara. Believe me, you will not be disappointed. Tamara is flexible, completely reliable, easy to get a hold of and very kind. You won't find a better photographer to capture your big day!

    Tamara was wonderful. She was very professional yet extremely friendly. She is such a kind down to earth person and also does beautiful work. Tamara was able to adapt to the kind of pictures we wanted. For example, my husband cannot smile on command so she was able to place him so that he was not always directly looking at the camera yet still be in the shot. Tamara has a way of making you feel comfortable for pictures even in awkward situations. Tamara not only shot my wedding, but she also did my engagement and boudoir pictures. Love her and her work!

    My husband and I were planning a destination wedding with a small amount of time and had no idea what beach we wanted to get married on, we didn't have a photographer, minister all the above. With lots of prayer I was led to Tamaras website. I contacted her on face book and told her what I wanted and she helped me figure out everything I needed to complete my wedding plans. She was just amazing. I had the pleasure of working with her father as well, Bruce Danzara who was just as friendly and helpful as Tamara. They both are so knowledgeable about wedding locations, Bruce gave me all the information I needed to know for a marriage license THEY WERE HEAVEN SENT! During the wedding Tamara was so clam, professional, personal and amazing at what she does. She gave direction ( Im defiantly not comfortable in front of the camara) but she takes charge and she knows what looks good. She made it easy and one of the best experiences of life, Tamara also worked with us on our budget. I highly recommended her services and will be using her again in the future. My family who lives local will also be using services in the near future.

    I can't say enough about how much we love Tamara! She did our makeup before the wedding, and it was beautiful! She and her husband are an awesome team! They have great personalities, and make everyone feel comfortable on such a busy day. The photos are the most beautiful wedding photos I could've hoped for. I'm not just biased because it's my wedding...I've gotten so many compliments! They traveled from Orange County to San Diego too. Face on by Tamara tailors to any budget, which is so great. I can't recommend them enough!

    Face on by Tamara is absolutely amazing and worth every penny!!! I knew of Tamara during my modeling career when I witnessed her amazing work in photography, as well as make-up. She made me feel absolutely amazing back then. So when it came time to hire my wedding photographer, there was no question as to who we would hire! If I could rate her above a 5 in all categories I would. I don't mean to sound vain, but I couldn't have looked any more beautiful. I couldn't stop looking at myself that day because my make-up was so beautiful. I was HOT! :) She also did make-up for my mom and mother-in-law and they looked phenomenal and age appropriate! There aren't words to describe how amazing her photography and retouching skills are! My pictures are more than I ever dreamed! I would absolutely refer anyone who was engaged, or anyone looking to have amazing pictures, to her! They'll definitely be thanking me after too! :)

    I love love loved my makeup Tamara did for my wedding! She is absolutely amazing! She applied my makeup in the morning and it lasted all throughout the night. Not only did she make me feel gorgeous but she was so sweet and fun to be with on my wedding day. I will definitely be calling her again for another event!
