Awarded Best of Zola
My wife and I had the pleasure of working with Tara Beth for our wedding in December 2022. We started following her instagram years prior and fell in love with how she captured every moment, from the guests to the couple. Not only were her photos amazing, but being a part of the LGBTQ community can feel daunting at times when reaching out to vendors, specifically for same-sex weddings. We had a few tough experiences with other vendors in regards to being a same-sex couple, but Tara Beth, as she is a part of the community, made it easy to feel comfortable and accepting. We contacted her and were met with a quick response. From the start, we knew she was the one. Her vibe and passion for love sold us! My wife and I were very nervous to take photos, but Tara Beth reassured us that she would walk us through everything - and she did just that. She talked us through our first look and it was an amazing experience. She also guided our party and family photos, which was super helpful as we were able to get our photos done ahead of schedule! We appreciate everything Tara Beth did for our special day and would recommend her 100 times over!

I bought my first DSLR camera in 2004 when my now wife, Tracey, and I were taking a cruise to Alaska. For a monumental trip like this, I HAD to get an amazing camera.

Nicole captured the wedding day from beginning to end in such effortless and timeless fashion; from the tiny details of our homemade Day-of-the-Dead sugar cookie decorations to the vast woody backdrop of where my husband and I said our vows, Nicole captured every design and element through her camera lense with artful finesse, giving my husband and I treasured photographic stills that will forever keep our special wedding day celebration alive. Even more impressive is how Nicole adapted to our needs in every way possible, such as running up the stairs to grab my husband’s boutonnière, organizing each family for pictures after the ceremony, climbing up on rocks for that perfect shot, and helping bustle the long train of my dress for the first dance. She brings calm to the chaos and reassurance to any unexpected uncertainty. Her crafted behind-the-scenes edits are also stunning and preserved the genuine characteristics, colors, and romance of our wedding day. I cannot recommend Nicole enough!

It was such a pleasure having Lissa as the photographer for our wedding. She has taken several photos for me and my family throughout the years, and each time the photos have always been exactly what we wanted. Her photos are vibrant, full of color, and full of feeling. Lissa was sure to respond quickly to contracts, questions, and provided information in a timely manner. She listened to our desires and concerns, and when needed she provided feedback that helped us feel more comfortable and excited to work with her. She is incredibly easy to work with her. She was flexible with any photo requests that came up in the moment, and she guided and directed us for other shots she felt would turn out well when we weren't sure what to do next. She was professional and courteous to all of our wedding guests and yet always made sure to prioritize our (the bride and groom) desires and time as opposed to the rest of our wedding party. She had a happy, yet focused disposition while working with us. That focus was evident in the BEAUTIFUL pictures she took. She perfectly captured our joy that day. Turnaround time was better than expected, and we couldn't be happier with the results. We have no regrets with our choice of wedding photographer. She's amazing!

First and foremost I am an artist. Telling your story is my art. Oftentimes times photos add such an immense amount of pressure. One of my super powers is making YOU comfortable in front of my camera. I pride myself in my ability to do that.

Britt!!! Oh my gosh I cannot say enough good things about her. I not only felt like she was the best photographer, but I feel like she has become a friend. her personality is sweet, sarcastic, funny, and kind, and that was everything i wanted. she helped us stick to our timeline during our wedding day (which my type A self is sooo grateful for). Thank you Britt. I can't wait to have you take photos for us in the future!!!

Hello, I’m so glad you’re here! My name is Will & capturing the humanity of moments is what fuels me. The hugs you can feel, the soft touches, the tears falling, the never ending smiles, the moments between mom & dad - those are the ones I want to capture! More of what it FEELS like not just what it looks like. Telling stories has always been my favorite, but words tend to get lost or forgotten so I tell them the best way I know how - through photographs!

My husband and I got married at the beginning of December, right in the middle of Pandemic crises and another round of shutdowns. Will was extremely flexible with our schedule & helped me with planning throughout the whole process! I may have changed my plan 10 times and each time he agreed without any issues. Will took the most beautiful pictures of us and most importantly he had the best attitude! We are looking forward to working with him in the near future!
