Simply Phenomenal!
Tina made my fiancé and I's experience one to remember. The photo's speak for themselves, but the personal touch and how much work that Tina puts into her couples is phenomenal. Tina is extremely friendly, always smiling, and knows how to make you laugh. When we asked her for idea's she shot them our way and is an expert when it comes to lighting and photo positions. I would not recommend anyone else! Thank you so much Tina for making our afternoon with you for our engagement shoot just magical!!!! - The Groom -

Tina deserves a million stars for everything she does! Having her as a photographer was an absolute dream. She provides a truly personalized experience from the first encounter. Her genuine kindness and love for what she does makes her the person you want to care for this important part of your wedding. She made this experience completely stress free by collaborating with our vendors, sending us style guides, and giving us very detailed advice to make our day as smooth as possible. On the day of, when our ceremony went way over the allotted time, she got us back on schedule without a problem. She also put up with all of my questions about style, colors, and details!
Tina also made the process of taking photos not just stress free but fun! My husband and I were definitely not comfortable in front of the camera, and we were nervous that we would just look awkward. Tina not only made sure we felt comfortable, but she made us forget that we were being photographed. She captured our love for each other, and she brought our entire wedding to life in her photos. She is one of the most talented individuals I have ever met. The designer of my dress even posted her photo of us on their instagram page, which was wild! I really could go on and on about what she did for us, but bottom line is Tina is INCREDIBLE!!! I know it may seem like an exaggeration but truly, there is no one better than this insanely talented woman. -

Tina with Pure in Art Photography was hands down the best decision we made for our wedding day! First of all, her photos speak for themselves… she’s a superb photographer and true artist. But second of all, Tina is a dream to work with! She made everything so fun and easy! I’ve never had professional photos taken so I was a bit nervous to step in front of the camera, but Tina guided us so effortlessly through them to create the most beautiful photos that captured the love and feeling of our wedding day so perfectly! I knew after our engagement session with Tina that we made the right choice; I immediately felt so much relief heading into our wedding day with her behind the camera.
But Tina was so much more than our wedding photographer.. she guided us through the entire process! From the day we hired her I felt like I had an ally in the industry. She sent a preferred vendor list, made sure to give her guidance on MUCH more than photography, and by the time we got to the wedding day she made sure we were 100% ready for everything. She even finalized our day of timeline and sent it to all the other vendors for us. I can’t tell you how valuable Tina became to our peace of mind. She clearly loves what she does and you can tell that in the love and care she puts into everything she does for you.
When I look at our wedding photos I can feel and see the happiness of our day and that is priceless. Thank you for everything Tina! -

Tina is a pure joy to work with and is great at making her subjects feel comfortable, even if they've never been professionally photographed before. -

Tina is just the sweetest human and oh so talented! So first of all she wasn’t even my original photographer – my original photographer for my husband’s wedding gift (boudoir book) had a family emergency the night before the shoot. I couldn’t reschedule because I had booked a nonrefundable hotel room and had it all worked out so that my fiancé (at the time) didn’t know what I was up to. So, Tina at the very last minute saves the day and by the grace of God is able to do the shoot. I was a little nervous being that the boudoir shoot is nerve-wracking as is and then I had this wrench thrown into my plans. However, Tina immediately calmed my nerves. She was INCREDIBLE, she made me feel so comfortable, so sexy, and we had SO MUCH FUN!
She was amazing at directing me, as I had really never been in front of a camera before. She was able to see every detail and adjust me accordingly she has a serious talent that shows in the final product. Every step of the boudoir process with Tina was seamless. Post photoshoot we went over the photos and I was floored! We sifted through them together to pick the ones that we thought he would love the most to put in the book. Once we had selected our top 20ish, which was no easy task, she went over any edits I would like done to them – amazing! Just a few weeks later my book was ready, it was STUNNING. I had to hold onto it for a few weeks before he got to see it and I was dying in anticipation. I gave it to him on our wedding night and let me tell you his jaw hit the ground. All he kept saying was “oh my, you look so good” over and over. So I’d say the boudoir shoot/gift was a major success!
Thank you, Tina, for all your hard work and sharing your talent with us, you’re amazing! For those reading this review thinking “ahh it’s so expensive, should I really do it?” YES, do it!!! It is pricier but let me tell you it is worth it!

Emmy Sent on 12/01/2021Best Wedding Vendor We Hired
Tina made the entire wedding experience easy and enjoyable. She was the most organized vendor we worked with, regularly sending helpful articles/tips/tricks/etc! Her positive attitude and genuine demeanor made her someone all of our wedding guests, family and friends feel comfortable around. We literally had friends saying how wonderful she was even after the wedding! Picking a wedding photographer was a very important decision for us and Tina DID NOT DISAPPOINT. If anyone wants a reference, I am more than happy to be one because we had an absolutely phenomenal experience working with Tina! -

Lauren Sent on 05/31/2021Look no further - Tina is the perfect wedding photographer!
Choosing Tina with Pure in Art was one of the best decisions that I made for the wedding! I found Tina when researching photos of wedding venues and became obsessed with her style and the quality of her work. I went in to our introduction meeting knowing that she was an excellent photographer, and I left knowing that she was an equally great person. Within the first five minutes of the meeting, I knew that Tina was my dream wedding photographer. She asked so many thoughtful questions to get to know me and my fiancé, which made it clear that she truly cared about each of her clients. From that first meeting to the final photo reveal session, she provided so much help and support throughout the wedding planning process. She shared an excellent preferred vendor list, which took ALL of the stress out of choosing vendors, and regularly checked-in to make sure the planning was going well.
Tina brought so much joy to our wedding day! Despite never having met in person, it felt like seeing a old friend since she had been so intentional about getting to know us leading up to the wedding. After a quick intro, she memorized the names of the bridal party and did such a great job directing people (by name!) to avoid any awkward poses. She also did an incredible job in capturing so many special moments during the day. Some of my favorite pictures are of our guests at cocktail hour since they are a great memory of our family and friends that helped us celebrate. Tina and her assistant photograph did an excellent job in capturing these photos of our guests and we received SO MANY compliments from our wedding guests about how amazing she was.
I cried tears of joy during our photo reveal session when I saw the incredible work that Tina produced. The wedding album that Tina created truly tells the story of our wedding day. I will be forever grateful for Tina's ability to perfectly capture the love and joy that I felt on my wedding day. -

Danielle Sent on 07/07/2019Amazingly Talented, Easy to work with, BOOK HER!
From the moment Tina and I started, the experience was nothing short of amazing. From small surprises, to a seamless and phenomenal engagement session, and the wedding (somehow she captured it all without anyone noticing). I was simply floored when I saw the photos. We booked her for her gift to find the magic - and it was the BEST investment we made. Tina is amazing! -

Best Photographer out there
Pure in Art Photography is hands down the best choice we made when it comes to vendors/caterers/all decisions related to the wedding. Tina, is very friendly, easy to work with, professional, communicates well, punctual and most importantly genuine and fun! She does all the footwork for you so you don't have to. Her expertise allows you to just enjoy the day and be in the moment. No awkward poses, weird positions or bad lighting.....everything was perfect. The first look was something we weren't sure about. However looking back on it we are SO GLAD we did it. That private moment captured on film will always be our most cherished moment. Her delivery and presentation of the photos is also superior. She makes you feel like you are her most important client at all times. Her efficiency and organization allowed us to sneak in extra last minute photos which actually turned out to be our favorite. There are not enough words to express all the positive things we have to say about Tina. Look no where else, the investment is worth it. -

#Toast2Thompsons Sent on 04/14/2022Tina, you are amazing.
We are so thankful we found Tina & Pure In Art Photography for our wedding! Talk about an amazing decision on our part. My husband and I did so much research on photographers in Arizona, and Tina is just the entire package deal. From the very beginning she was engaging, so kind, and knowledgeable. She spent time getting to know us and even sent us a wedding care package to get us excited for our day. By spending time getting to know us, she was able to fully capture our love and everything we could have ever wanted on our wedding day. The day of our wedding, Tina helped us stay calm and collected, and all of our photos are absolutely amazing. We are now awaiting our photo book she made for us and cannot wait to use it for years to come. Thank you, Tina, for everything you did and continue to do for us. We are so appreciative and can’t recommend enough. -

Chris Sent on 03/21/2022Excellent photography and experience
Tina has been an absolute joy to have photographing mine and my wife's journey over the past year or so. It began in 2021. During COVID, my wife and moved our wedding date from early 2021 to early 2022. In the interim time, my wife got pregnant with our beautiful baby girl. Tina did a maternity shoot for us in a beautiful location in the desert, and from that we now have lovely framed pictures on the walls. When she came over to install the frames, she did a shoot of our baby who at the time was two months or so old, and she did a great job of getting the baby to 'pose' despite the baby's reluctance to do anything other than sleep. I am so glad that we have professional photographs of those days, as though our phone pictures are wonderful, having the immaculate touch of someone who knows how to frame a shot and get the correct lighting is an immeasurable positive. These are memories we will cherish forever, and I am glad we had Tina take photos of her both before her birth and after.
Last month, February 2022, Tina photographed our wedding. She was the vendor that was able to make sure our day ran on track. She talked us through the process and had an amazing timeline to follow that allowed us to have the moments we will always remember in photographic evidence. She encouraged us to do a 'first look', which I had to look up to make sure it was something I wanted, and it was the best idea for the day, and I am glad it was suggested. We were able to get pictures of our wedding party, family, and friends without the pressure of the wedding itself and all of the guests approaching us during photographs. Because of the first look we were actually able to enjoy the reception for ourselves and our loved ones, rather than herding them for pictures.
We started the day like a traditional wedding, I, the groom, left before my future wife got ready so that her and her bridesmaids could all begin their process. I was able to see the pictures of them getting ready and the moments that were captured were priceless. Tina did a great job posing people, making sure they were in the right place at the right time, and also (my favorite part) capturing candid moments. Tina also had sent another photographer to the groom's ready room and we were treated excellently as well. I am not a fan of how I look in pictures, but Tina made me happy to look at myself.
The ceremony itself was, as weddings go, such an exhausting experience. It was the best day of my life (except maybe the birth of my child) and Tina and her crew were able to parlay any of our worries about fitting all of our tasks into the day into a calm, lovely demeanor. She kept us on track and we benefitted from that. The ceremony included a few 'missteps' that made the day great, including our flower girl not wanting to walk down the aisle with her mother, and my child not wanting to be held by her grandmother necessitating me holding her. Despite these events being unplanned, Tina caught them all excellently! I even mentioned that I hadn't even noticed that she was taking pictures in the crowd, she caught some really good moments at the ceremony while we were up focusing on each other, all without any intrusion.
After the ceremony, we took a few pictures with the backdrop we had for our vows. We then took some further in the reception room, including one I consider unique with some fun reflective techniques. We then left the reception area and went to another location at the venue to take sunset photos (again, something we wouldn't have had the opportunity to do very easily should we not have done that first look). The sunset photos came out amazing, there was still some snow on the mountains and Tina was able to get us into locations where she was able to get such good moments.
After, Tina sat us down a few weeks later in her studio and showed us a slideshow of the experience. That too was lovely. We were always treated with respect and positivity, and even when my wife and I disagreed about what photo may be better, Tina was able to handle that and give us the best product we could possibly imagine. The physical photographs she has already produced for us were excellent and we are excited to see more in the future.
I have ran out of characters in the review, but I recommend Tina and Pure in Art Photography for any moment you think may be worthy of capturing. She has done an excellent job and we are excited to continue to have her photograph the moments in our lives that matter. -

Eva Sent on 01/09/2018Words can't describe how much I loved every minute of working with Tina! She truly got to know my husband and I before our wedding day so we felt 100% comfortable with her on the almost important day of our lives! My huband and I sit down every month and looking through our photos, remember what a spectacular breathtaking day it was all due to Tina capturing every single emotion!

Seriously, Tina is the BEST photographer. EVER!
I have had the opportunity to work with other photographers for photo shoots, but none of them compare to Tina's work. There is a reason she has five stars and nothing but positive reviews because the quality of pictures and memories are beyond amazing. Truly, I have never seen better pictures then the ones that Tina provided us. Her phenomenal customer service, beautiful smile, and contagious personality made our afternoon and day together one to remember. Whatever you are looking for in a photographer, look no further then Tina. I PROMSE YOU, YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED. -

Selecting a wedding photographer was an important part of the planning process. We knew that when vetting photographers, we wanted one that would be versatile. Not only did we want photos that we could print, we wanted candid shots that captured what it was like to actually be at the event. The photographer is someone who is extra eyes during a once in a lifetime event. Selecting Tina Kraemer + Pure In Art was one of the best choices we could have made – we have timeless memories from our extra eyes. Our photos exceeded our expectations because they were aesthetically beautiful, not over edited, and incorporated every thoughtful detail. Additionally, Tina was resourceful. She took the time to scope out a variety of locations, made us feel comfortable throughout the event, was incredibly organized during family photos (we had a LOT of people), and did a phenomenal job navigating the day. On our wedding day, it rained. We had to work with the weather and change the timeline multiple times. Fortunately for us, this had no impact on our final photography deliverable because Tina had a back up plan without compromising quality, aesthetic, or capturing each portion of our event. Aside from her unparalleled skill, Tina is personable. She has a way of connecting with the customer quickly as if you had been friends for years which is helpful when you and your partner share intimate moments throughout your wedding day. We loved our wedding day, we loved our vendor team and we are beyond fortunate to have shared that with Pure In Art Photography.
