It's a no-brainer, Tara is the one
Tara did an absolutely stunning job with my wedding and I would HIGHLY recommend her! I had a huge wedding party (25 standing total) and she captured the ceremony beautifully, handled my 11 bridesmaids with ease, and kept track of the timeline for the day so I didn't have to. We had to switch from an outdoor ceremony location to an indoor location due to rain and it was not a problem at all. Her energy and personality made all of the photoshoots comfortable and humorous, which brought out genuine smiles from my whole wedding party. She also worked with the timeline I had for the day and maximized the amount of pictures taken whenever we had the opportunity. I truly believe my wedding ran as fluidly as it did because of Tara. She is so talented and experienced! -

Tara was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding vendor team. I cannot count the number of compliments we have gotten from family, friends, coworkers, etc about our photos. They are amazing and truly capture our day! The colors are bright and beautiful and the variety of shots she got is remarkable. Tara was able to wrangle our rowdy bridal party with her hilarious, but pointed, directions of how she wanted us arranged which made photos go quickly and smoothly. Her prompts turned out some hilarious photos that I know will be my favorite for years and years to come. Our family portraits were also quick and painless and turned out beautifully! We did unfortunately miss a few groupings from our wedding preferences form for family pics and we forgot to exchange our pre-ceremony letters until about halfway through cocktail hour, but in the madness of the day, some small things are bound to slip through. Tara and her second shooter Lindsey both made everyone feel extremely relaxed and comfortable and they both were so very kind. I would recommend this team to anyone in the Wisconsin area if you want a lifetime worth of beautiful photos to remember your day. -

Tara and her 2nd shooter were incredible to work with. While we are so happy with how our photos turned out, they were so much more than just our photographers! From helping bustle my dress, taking Bobby pins from their own hair to help me fix my loose veil, to offering a spray deodorant refresh they were there for everything! Apart from the standard photos, they also were able to capture many beautiful photos of our friends and family! These photos will be cherished for years to come ❤️ -

Tara was wonderful! I worked with her at my sister's wedding so knew she was good but it wasn't until she photographed my own wedding that I really understood how good. She was so fun and easy to work with, communicated well, was direct when she needed to be (which was appreciated with a wedding party of 11 each side) and captured every awesome moment of the day. We were thrilled with how they all turned out. Not only was there great variety, but there were so many unique angles and shots that it's somewhat hard to choose! The editing is so natural and I would recommend Tara over and over! -

You NEED To Hire Tara
Tara is the absolute best. I can't even put into words how thankful we are that she was our wedding photographer. She made sure our day ran smoothly, she handed out the flower petals I wanted to be thrown during the recessional when she noticed no one had taken them, she let me use her dress as a tissue, she kept our group laughing and having fun the whole time and the times we were taking photos were efficient and enjoyable. That doesn't even cover how beautiful her work is. She was able to capture the day I had been planning since I was a little girl perfectly. I didn't realize how much they would mean to me until I saw them. The photos of our families, the wedding party, the details, and everything in between brought me to tears. I can't thank her enough, and I can't recommend her enough to anyone about to be married. She made it perfect. -

Tara blew us away throughout our entire wedding process. From our initial phone conversation, I knew Tara would be a dream to work with. Tara was organized, funny, personable, genuine and most of all caring. A month before the wedding we touch base to go over our dream shot list and who everyone was. Tara asked questions throughout the entire phone call making sure we were all on the same page. The week of our April wedding we found out it was going to snow. Tara called on the Thursday before the wedding to literally pump me up! She knew I would be upset it was snowing (I had said it several times-- “The only thing I don’t want is snow”) but she reassured me I would have the best photos ever and that it would be so much fun! We adjusted the timeline and location of some shots to make sure we were prepared. On the day of our wedding (April 27th) it snowed, like snow globe style snow. Tara and Lindsay came into the bridal suite (early which is on time for me) and the first thing they asked was how was I feeling. They were energized and ready which pumped me up. Throughout the entire day, Tara and Lindsay were AMAZING! Being in front of the camera or center of attention is not something we are comfortable with but we felt like a movie star. We were having so much fun we didn’t feel cold or anxious to be done with photos. When the ceremony and reception came around, I didn’t even realize Tara and Lindsay were at the venue. They were stealthy in getting photos so stealthy I didn’t see them in any of the photos our guests took which means our guests never had a blocked view! We did not invest in a videographer and looking back we didn’t need to. Our story is perfectly displayed in photos. Looking back we not only have stunning photo but great memories. Thank you Tara and Lindsay for an absolutely amazing experience. As our family grows (one day) we cannot wait to travel to Wisconsin to continue working with you! -

You are not doing your wedding, your venue, your party, or the future you in looking at these photos down the road justice unless you book with Tara. I have had the privilege to work for her, have her do my senior photos, family Christmas card photo shoots, family pictures, and now wedding. As my life has evolved and grown she has captured me in those moments and this is no different. She does everything the day to provide peace, lend a hand wherever necessary, extend helpful advice (if asked for) and you will always find her affected and teary eyed in the back of your ceremony doing her job perfectly. Tara has more of an eye for candid, lovely, unique shots than anyone I’ve known. She wears no coat to experience what the people she is photographing experience and treats every bride/groom like her best friends. This woman (and Katie Hunt her second shooter) took the cake, loved me so well on my big day, and didn’t stop at mediocre. When I look back on these photos and her contribution that day every cent was worth it. -

Megan Sent on 10/04/2017Tara did my senior photos when I was graduating high school, and after that experience there was no question who I wanted to do my now husbands and my engagement photos and wedding photos. I'm not someone who's comfortable with how I look (or someone who's comfortable in front of the camera), but Tara's photos always make me feel beautiful! She put both my husband and I at ease during our sessions, making us laugh and forget sometimes that we were even posed. Our pictures look amazing, and we couldn't have asked for anything better.
