We loved working with Tamara because she was great working with two people who aren't fond of taking pictures and she had great ideas for the best poses that worked for us as a couple.

Tamara was a joy to work with. She was never overbearing as some photographers can be. She gave good direction and listened to everything I wanted and did not want. Tamara had a few shots ready for me right away and the full gallery up lighting fast! It was a total ease booking her, discussing my wedding, and actually shooting it. She was on time, friendly, and professional.

Tami was a real delightful woman to have shoot our wedding photographs. During the whole wedding she did her best to stay behind the scenes to capture priceless shots of that special day. During the whole time of working with her she was open to hear ideas for shots that we would like to see taken and she also share her ideas and suggestions as well. I loved the moments in time she was able to capture for us.

If you are looking for a talented, perfessional, and flexible photographer, I highly recommend Tamara Drake Photography. My sister and I did our sweet sixteen photos with her, and we had a great time! The photos came out stunning and I was very pleased with all of her other work as well! She deserves the 5 stars!

Tamara did a family photo shoot for me. She was amazing to work with! My children are young, 4 and 7, and she was fabulous with them! She made all of us so comfortable and worked with our personalities in a way that allowed her to capture some beautful and very natural expressions and interactions among us. I would highly recommend her work!

Tamara did an amazing job. The pictures turned out so beautiful. She goes above and beyond to make the bride happy and does whatever it takes to provide the best shots. She is flexible with her schedule and will work hard to give you what you want so your day is the best possible. She has a great eye to make the shots perfect and provide some unique and fun shots. Also, her prices are very reasonable and a great value. I would highly recommend her services for any type of event.

Tamara was very cooperative and flexible to our time frame. We had our family together, 4 generations, ranging in age from 2 years to 91 years old and she knew exactly the right pictures to take. Very professional, yet personable. Prices are very reasonable and quality is excellent. I recommend her for any of your photography needs!

Tamara did an excellent job with our engagement photos! You can tell she really cares about her work and has a passion for photography. She was very careful about lighting and overall composition of the photos which was very reassuring. Tamara even brought her intern Bre with her on our shoot and she was very talented as well. It was really neat to see the both of them work together and bounce ideas back and forth with our input. We received our photos shortly after the shoot which was also pretty impressive. I would recommend Tamara Drake photography to anyone and will definitely be calling her for future photo shoots.

Tamara Drake was professional, friendly, and flexible. We were referred to her when our photographer dropped out 3 days before our wedding. Tamara was able to quickly fit in with our group, comprehend the dimensions of the task we were presenting her with (Wedding photos at the wedding site, and later at LaJolla Beach, as well as at the Reception photos later that night). She was able to accommodate all requested photos, and get the great shots that every happy couple wants at their wedding. She provides a great customer service experience and amazing photos of once in a life time moments. I would recommend her to any and everyone.

This is the third time we have used this photographer. Baby Shower, Christening, First Birthday -- every event has been covered beautifully!! Tamara is able to capture the sweetest moments and the participants' many happy expressions. She makes sure to take artistic shots showing the decor, the refreshments and the people in such creative ways. She is relaxed and reassuring and puts us all at ease; in fact, sometimes we forget that there's a photographer around. She makes great suggestions and ensures that we will have a memorable collection of photos to remind us of our special event. We also love having the digital files so that we can print photos whenever we wish. We have had wonderful experiences with Tamara and we highly recommend her to anyone planning a wedding or special event.

Tamara was absolutely amazing as our wedding photographer. We even used her to do our engagement shots and were impressed with those so start with, so we knew we were in good hands for our wedding! She was there to answer any questions we had before the wedding including going over what shots we wanted done. We only had about an hour to do pictures with our 10 person bridal party, but Tamara got every shot in we wanted! We had friends recently get married and they had to wait over 6 weeks to get their photos back. Tamara had them done while we were on our honeymoon the next week! We couldn't believe how fast we got them back! Don't think that the quality was an issue when getting them back so fast, because everyone who saw them thought they were some of the most beautiful wedding pictures they have seen. To top it off, Tamara even helped us buy our thank you cards using our wedding pictures! We ordered them and and had them delivered within the same week. We couldn't have been happier with any other photographer! Tamara will not disappoint! Thank you again Tamara for making our day so special!

Tamara is the BEST photographer out there! She was able to capture all those little moments you want to remember forever. She was very responsive, and checked in with me before the wedding a few times to confirm what photos I really wanted, and to see if I had any other requests.

At the wedding and the reception Tamara was very professional and was able to get the best photos, without getting in the way of my guests.

I will be using Tamara from now on for all of my photography needs!

Tamara was absolutely wonderful to work with!!! She was very flexible with meetings, extremely easy to get a hold of, and super friendly. She is newer to the world of wedding photography but her pictures turned out amazing!!! She also dealt with my very large reception group on a veryyy hot summer day when the ac was broken in our terribly hot reception room, oh did I mention she was about 7 months pregnant??! Overall, I was really really happy with working with Tamara!!

I had Tamera Drake Photography photograph my wedding in May 2014. Before the wedding we had an engagement photo session. This was great because it gave us a chance to get to know each other a little better before the wedding. Tamera is very professional and extremely quick to respond to questions, and I know she takes great pride in her work. I have to say that I am not the most photogenic and both the photos from the engagement shoot and wedding were fabulous. She was able to capture timeless photos that will be cherished lifetime memories. Tamera has a good sense of light, color, composition, and timing. I believe that the photos she took at my wedding are amazing and i am so grateful to have them. Tamera is crafting the art of wedding photography.

When I received my master's degree, I wanted to commemorate this accomplishment with a great set of photographs. I knew I wasn't going to be happy just using the image from the university, where they usher you in like cattle and give you about two seconds to pose without the decency of a choice or photo approval. I wanted someone who would be willing to work with me and give me a variety of options.
Tamara was everything I was hoping to find in a photographer! Since she is an on-site photographer, we met at a beach location with a gorgeous natural background. Tamara was patient and understanding, and even willing to try different poses to reflect the vision I wanted. She was personable and made the experience fun and exciting--a great change from the side of the stage, one shot deal at the university.
The photographs she produced were AWESOME! They were exactly what I was looking for! I was highly impressed to know that Tamara took the time to review each shot. There is something to be said for a photographer who is willing to take that much time in order to make sure her client is going to be happy. I highly recommend her for anyone who is searching for a more personable experience like I was. You won't be disappointed!

When my husband and I were discussing holiday cards, the first thing he told me to do was to check Tamara's availability and book a session. She brought a few backdrops and some props to our home and took amazing photos of our 3 month old son. We used the printing system through her website to get them printed out and had them ready to ship out to all our friends within the week. They came out perfect and all our friends loved the pictures she took of our son and asked us who we used.

We will most definitely be using her for our sons first birthday and any other huge occasions in our family.

I am giving 5 stars because I recieved the best customer service and the final products were amazing. The photographer helped me choose a time that was convient for me. She then arived early, on location and had everything set up and ready to go. Her personality and experience made the entire process flawless and just plain fun. I was worried about how cooperitve my 1 year old would be and how she would be able to combat that. She handles it like a pro. She got down to his level, sometimes taking pictures while layed on the ground to get the most perfect angles of him and any time she suspected he might be getting a little iritable, she pulled out another trick or trinket to hold my baby's attention and capture the best smiles. I plan on being a repeat customer and want no one other than Pixel Aided Photography to share and capture my most special future moments. The quality of the pictures I recieved is priceless. So much attention to detail, time and effort went into each photo and now I have the best, lifelong memories hanging on my wall. :-)

The photographer Tamara from Pixel Aided photography is amazing!! She really goes above and beyond with all aspects of the event and will take amazing pictures. She is also very attentive, personable and easy to get along with, which is a big plus for me! Hiring Tamara from Pixel Aided photography will be worth every penny in quality of service as well as the quality of photos she will take. We had an amazing time at our wedding and would, without hesitation, use Tamara again for any photography needs we might have in the future.

We truly enjoyed the professionalism and personal touch that Tamara provided for our wedding photography. Tamara previewed the area of our venue and found some great places to capture some very special pictures for us along with the many wonderful pictures from the ceremony and reception. We were completely pleased with the photography services provided by Tamara and thank her for her help and guidance in making our day a very special day for us.

Tamara is an awesome photographer to work with. She did an amazing job with our Goddaughters Quinceanera (Sweet 15). She made sure to capture all the important key moments as well as the little details. She has our highest recommendations for any special occasion.

I had such an amazing experience with Pixel Aided Photography on my wedding day. The photographer,Tamara, and her assistant were very professional and down to earth. They made me feel great on my special day!
They stayed with us from the ceremony to the reception and captured the most amazing moments. The team asked us to pose for some pictures and some were more natural, like our getting ready photos, me walking down the aisle and our first dance. The photos were high quality and captured everything I want to remember. I absolutely love them!
Pixel Aided Photography offered a ton of great options, and sent me "sneak peaks" after the wedding to keep me informed. They were also very patient and made sure they got the best shots. I will definitely be contacting them again for family portraits, and I recommend their photography services!!

Thanks!

Tami graciously took our engagement photos (which we used for our wedding invitations) and photos during our wedding. She was very professional and easy to work with, especially when nature took a turn and decided to rain so the ceremony had to be moved inside last minute. She has a natural talent for photography and was still able to get some amazing shots! I really liked that we received digital copies of the images. She also does a great job editing and making cute collages.

I would highly recommend her for any photography needs you may :-)

Tamara came out to do my wedding and her work was absolutely amazing and beautiful! She even came to the rehearsal to look where the best shots would be. It was a timesaver to have someone knowing exactly where they wanted to do all the photos. On another note, she knows weddings. She noticed that the groomsmen were practicing out of place during the rehearsal and did not hesitate to speak up about it....we were soooooooo thankful for that! She really wants you to have an awesome day and captures not only smiles but the emotions that are very present on that day...beautiful job!!!

A pleasure to work with. Easy going, fun and professional! We really enjoyed our quick family portrait session and the pictures turned out nice. They were available to see and download very quickly! An overall great experience.
