    Beautiful Photos & Great Photographer!!!

    We found Tara through Instagram while looking for wedding photographers who mainly shoot for LGBTQ+ couples. Her photography immediately caught our eyes and honestly once I saw her past wedding photos I didn’t want to keep looking! She met with us through Zoom and we instantly felt comfortable and felt like connected well. We booked her and can honestly say she is worth every penny and more! She connects with you, makes you feel confident, has a fun personality, and is so professional! Most importantly, our wedding photos came out so beautifully and we are in love with them! She was great at communicating and made sure we were always okay. We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer. Whether you’re in Philly or across the world, we HIGHLY recommend Tara! We are so proud that we get to show these pictures to our family, friends, and future children!

    Fantastic photographer

    When we first started planning our wedding, in my mind the most important vendor to hire was our photographer because the service they provided was going to be something that we’d see over and over again for the rest of our lives. So after the hours of research and scrutiny over the photographers our wedding planner sent us, I can easily say that I am beyond happy with our decision to hire Tara.

    Tara has a wonderful eye and also has a talent to capture LGBTQ weddings in a way that gave me pause with other photographers we interviewed. It’s honestly an important thing to consider and Tara’s portfolio really speaks to her abilities.

    During our engagement shoot, Tara was such a positive and upbeat force that really helped me feel at ease for what is something that I’m not usually the most comfortable with – posed photos. Her method to capture truly fantastic moments between me and my fiancé was truly amazing.

    On the day, Tara somehow managed to be both everywhere and nowhere at the same time. She couldn’t be spotted and yet got something like 900 photos of the best day of our lives. All of which were absolutely stunning.

    To top it all off, she managed to send us all of our photos within 3 weeks of our wedding – and I think she had COVID during those 3 weeks! I was amazed by the turnaround time.

    Tara’s truly a fantastic photographer and you will not regret hiring her.

    Honestly, I cannot say enough good things about Tara!

    She was everything we were looking for in a photographer and so much more. When my wife and I started wedding planning, we wanted to make sure to hire LGBTQ+ friendly vendors. Our DJ actually recommended Tara to us, and working with her was truly one of the best parts of our experience. My wife and I were super apprehensive about taking "romantic" professional photos, as we didn't think that was really "our vibe." Not only did Tara make us feel completely comfortable with taking those photos, she helped to push us out of our comfort zone to get even more beautiful photos than we thought possible! Tara was super flexible with us during the planning process and helped us navigate everything when we had to postpone our original wedding date due to COVID. She also answered all of our questions and eased our minds when we were still a little nervous about having our wedding this year. On our wedding day, she knew that we wanted to enjoy as much of our cocktail hour and reception as possible and worked with us to get beautiful photos in a timely manner after the ceremony so that we could greet all of our guests and eat hors d'oeuvres! I honestly could go on and on, but her work really speaks for itself. She is beyond talented and is just a joy to be around. Hire Tara. I promise it will be one of the best things you do for your wedding.

    Hire Her, Seriously

    A great photographer was our highest priority when planning our wedding, and as soon as we saw Tara's work we knew we'd found exactly what we were looking for. Not only is her work gorgeous though, she creates such a wonderful environment even for two photo shy brides. We loved that an engagement session came included with our package, because we got to develop a relationship with Tara beforehand. We've never felt so safe in front of camera, even though the moments she's capturing are very intimate. She was the perfect person for us to have around on such an important day, and the photos she captured are unreal and so beautiful. We love her and her work so much.

    Best purchase I made for my wedding!

    Tara's work is unlike anything I've ever seen before. She has just an artistic eye for the most beautiful and romantic shots. She was the first vender I booked when I got engaged. My sister got married 3 years ago and used Tara as her photographer and I knew then that I had to have Tara shoot my wedding one day. From the engagement photos to our wedding, everything is so beautiful. She made everything feel effortless and really showed our love in every photo. We got our preview photos and it took my breathe away. She is also so much fun, she taught me how to do the wobble on our dance floor! We had such a blast at the wedding and her work is spectacular. You will want to hire Tara because she was the best money I spent on anything at my wedding! She was beyond perfect!

    Tara is amazing!

    I cannot say enough good things about Tara and how she made us feel on our big day!! I found Tara on Instagram before we were even engaged, and knew that I wanted to her to be our wedding photographer. Her vibe and work is unmatched! Tara ended up coming to our rehearsal dinner at my wife’s parents house, and she immersed herself immediately into conversations with our family and friends. Everyone loved her and the vibe was so so great going into the wedding day! The day of, Tara stayed on schedule the entire time, and was so much fun to have around with us. Tara has a way of making everyone feel comfortable and beautiful, and she ended up capturing our love so perfectly. We cannot thank Tara enough for all of our beautiful pictures, and can’t wait to work with her in the future!

    Book Tara ASAP!

    I can't imagine my wedding without Tara as our photographer. Every time I post one of our incredible wedding or engagement photos to my social media accounts, I receive so many compliments on how unbelievably talented she is. Tara was incredible for many reasons.

    1. She took time to learn about us as a couple, asking us to take a quiz to learn our love languages and asking pointed questions about our dynamic and relationship. This helped her to take photos that really represented us in our real life.
    2. She was quick to respond to any questions or updates that we had, so I was able to mark things off of my to do list quickly.
    3. She uses lighting in an AMAZING way, capturing an already gorgeous scene in a way that I didn’t even see before the photos came out.
    4. She focuses on LGBTQ couples, making us feel comfortable during what feels like a vulnerable state (being very out in public while taking photos with your partner).
    5. Tara got our sneak peek to us extremely quickly, and followed up soon after with the rest of the photos.

    I can’t recommend her enough. Her business and her clients are her top priority, and in my opinion, she truly is the best in the game. We will cherish these photos forever.

    The most beautiful photos

    Tara is the best! Photography for our wedding was incredibly important to me and I spent a lot of time looking at photographers when I came across Tara. Her photos are true works of art and I love her style and natural way that she captures the moment. She is incredibly enthusiastic and fun to work with and makes everyone feel at ease. She took such amazing engagement photos in our apartment with us that looked so natural and and then she did an amazing job on our wedding day. We recently got our sneak peak and I am blown away. Don't hesitate to book her! She rocks!

    You don't just want Tara as your wedding photographer - you NEED her. She is a consummate professional and a delightful person. The photos she took of us are absolutely stunning, despite our awkwardness in front of a camera. Her rates are incredibly competitive. From the moment we met her to talk about her style and our needs, to our engagement shoot, to our wedding day, to our post-wedding correspondence, Tara has been nothing but wonderful, helpful, and eager to make sure we were really happy with everything. As a lesbian couple, we were anxious to find a photographer who we could really be comfortable - Tara is that and more. On the day of the wedding, Tara not only took amazing photographs - she went to great lengths to ensure that we had a wonderful experience, stepping in at just the right moment to whisk us outside (and away from some family members) for some evening shots. She was also no-nonsense with the list of family shots that needed to be taken, working through the list efficiently and giving family members no room to interfere - something that I had not realized we needed until that moment. BOOK TARA. NOW.

    If you know what is good for, book Tara for your wedding photography. My husband and I are insanely awkward in photos, and although we were still awkward in real life during he photos she captured moments that looked natural. She was one of the major reasons I felt so damn beautiful that da in march. She has such a great spirit that makes for an easy day. We tried to cram all our formal photos into the cocktail hour due to that fact that we hate being in photos. It was perfect for us because we have a list of photos we wanted for group/family shots and she motored through them like a champ. She kept everything light and fun, but also kept control of the whole thing. I have zero vision and could not understand the concept of some of the photos she was setting us up for, but when I saw the sneak peek photos I was floored. She killed it. She seemed to have fun at our reception as well---she did a lot of candids at the reception and I really cannot wait to see how the rest of the photos turned out. We were thrilled working with her and would recommend her highly to anyone looking for someone with an incredible gift who knows how to keep you calm in moments where you feel awkward. Thank you so much, Tara----the Sands!

    Tara is hands down an outstanding photographer. Not only is Tara extremely passionate, personable and fun, which truly helps make you comfortable but her work is exceptional. Looking at her photographs literally leaves me speechless and I cannot stop looking at our engagement and wedding photos. She truly captures the magic and love of your most memorable moments, and tells the best story throughout each photograph. My husband and I are beyond thrilled with her work and I would recommend to her to every couple.

    Everything Tara snaps is gold. So far we've only had our engagement pictures taken, but they were amazing and far beyond anything I could have expected. If you want a photographer that will capture unique and beautiful moments this is your gal. Tara is also extremely responsive and always provides helpful advice and insights. I can't wait to see what Tara produces for our wedding!!

    From the very first point of contact, Tara has been a joy to work with. My fiancé and I have only had our engagement photos done so far, but I am absolutely thrilled with how gorgeous they are and I have received many compliments on them. My fiancé is not one who enjoys having his picture taken, but Tara made us both feel so comfortable and natural. We both love how professional she is, but still makes you feel like she's known you forever. I cannot say enough positive things about her, and I can't wait for her to photograph our wedding day!

    Tara was simply amazing. She was easy & fun to work with, she has a beautiful eye for photography & did a spectacular job at capturing every little intimate moment of my wedding day. All of my family & friends have commented on how beautiful our photographs were & that they looked like they could be in a magazine. Her photography is so creative, not your run of the mill wedding photography. I have also used Tara's services to do a shoot for my sister-in-law's newborn baby boy & they were amazing. She is very versatile & talented, I would recommend her in a heart beat to all of my family & friends. Anyone that wants top notch wedding photos needs to book this lovely lady right now :-)

    I used Tara for a Boudoir session. I was getting a preventative double mastectomy soon and wanted photographs that would capture my body so I could keep that for myself. She and I set up everything over email. She also helped me to learn what types of shots I might want from her. She was flexible about the fact that I don't live very close to her, and showed up on time. She was incredibly generous with her work - she really worked hard while she here. She advised me about which shots to try due to improved lighting and etc., and helped me with positions and any advice I asked for. From the very start she was professional but also perfectly at ease and comfortable to be around - I'd never done this type of thing before so I didn't know how I'd feel, but she made it easy and fun. I got to honor my body before it's big change, and the whole session felt right. Tara is super nice and just wonderful to work with - I feel so lucky I found her for this job. She went above and beyond to accommodate me and get the different types of photographs I was interested in. She sent me a link to my photos in less than two days and I love them. They're just what I was hoping for. I feel like I met someone who felt like a friend the whole time despite never meeting until the session - I can't speak highly enough about how she conducts her work, how pleasant she is to spend time with, and the quality of the product I received. I will be recommending her whenever I can, and hiring her in the future when I need a photographer. The photos I needed weren't something I'd get another chance at - the weight they carried in meaning to me was enormous - I am so grateful for Tara.

    Tara is incredible. She made a couple of gals who don't usually like a lot of fuss feel completely at ease. She has an incredible eye for angles and locations, and our photos turned out even better than we imagined. We feel fortunate to have been able to work with her.

    First of all, Tara Beth takes the most AMAZING photographs! They are truly works of art. My husband and I love every one of them! You know they're all great when you can choose just a few to print and hang.
    Second, Tara is awesome to work with. I think this is more important that people realize. She put us at ease and let the happiness of our big day shine through in our photos. She never got flustered which is amazing considering how crazy my big family is.
    Our caterer provided great food, our band truly made our wedding the amazing party it was, and Tara Beth captured every beautiful moment! We can't thank her enough!

    I have nothing but love for Tara! With not a whole lot of time before our party, Tara was booked as a referral from a friend. Thank goodness! And even though she lives out of state, she traveled to our vacation spot pre-party for our "engagement" session as well. We did things very non-traditionally, and even included my entire family in our photo shoot. Tara was amazing. Each and every photo became my "favorite picture of us", as Tara became a friend. On the day of our "not-a-wedding" party, every time I thought, "this would be a great picture, where's Tara?" she was already there snapping away. I've already recommended her to friends, and we will for sure be using her again in the future. Booking Tara means one less thing to stress about on your special day, and I highly recommend her.

    Tara is an amazing photographer. Her pictures speak for themselves. She responded promptly whenever I had any questions or concerns. She is so accommodating. She had the pictures edited and back to me within a month! Not to mention she is friendly, courteous and professional. But seriously, on top of all that her product....what I ultimately have to remember the best day of my life....is amazing. She is truly an artist. She captured all the emotion of my wedding in those photos and they are so beautiful. I recommend her to all my friends.

    Tara was the amazing photographer for my daughter's wedding. It was not just that the pictures were wonderful, Tara has terrific people and management skills. Tara arrived while the weddings was still being set up, she got people organized, helped them to feel comfortable and even excited about having their pictures taken. Her creativity and talent was reflected in the pictures she took. She delivered the edited pictures very quickly following the wedding , which made us all very happy. We highly recommend Tara Beth Photography.

I have thanked her numerous times and would highly highly recommend her!!! We had a beautiful wedding weekend and our gorgeous pictures will forever remind us that weekend. Thank you Tara again!

    Tara was incredible and captured so many lovely moments. Looking through the photos is like relieving the magic of our wedding day. From the initial contact, Tara was responsive, excited, and so wonderful. We did an engagement shoot which produced so many greats shots of us that really capture the spirit of who we are as a couple. She was so flexible the day of the wedding and got all of the moments we wanted and so much more. One of the things that really impressed me was that I was unaware of her most of the day, other than posed pictures, she blended right in and caught everything without feeling intrusive. I've seen other photographers that were so intrusive it became distracting. Tara worked quickly and provided us with a wonderful preview very quickly. Everyone loves her work and just marvels at the amazing photos.

    As a fellow wedding photographer myself I knew they despite out small, quickly planned wedding, I had to have images that were unique, beautiful and would capture our day. Tara went above a d beyond for my wife and I and every time I look at our images (which are everywhere..our walls, phones, screensavers, my office...we love them that much!) I am overcome by how grateful I am for her. She is an amazing photographer and friend and someone I recommend to my own clients. If you want to have unique, vintage feeling images and have an amazing, fill of life and passion photographer st your wedding, Tara is your girl! We love love love yoy Tara!
