I took up photography at the ripe age of 11 with a Polaroid I borrowed from an aunt. It quickly became my sketchbook as I worked to capture stills of the world and people around me. Those images have continued to pay emotional dividends throughout my life, helping me better understand what I have now come to see through a new scope. They are grounding, melancholic, funny and beautiful. Some of my most cherished possessions.

I started my photography business with a simple goal in mind: to capture real, authentic moments that tell a love story in the most genuine way possible. Photography has been a passion of mine for years, and weddings quickly became my favorite because of the emotion, joy, and once-in-a-lifetime moments they hold. I love creating a comfortable environment where couples can relax and just be themselves while I document the magic. Every wedding is unique, and I feel honored every time a couple trusts me to preserve their memories.

Hey hey! I’m Tara — your wedding-day hype girl, calm-in-the-chaos, and the one behind the lens. I’m so glad you’re here. Photographing love stories is truly the joy of my life. I’ve been doing this for over a decade (wild!), and I still get butterflies every time I show up to witness two people say yes to forever. What I care about most is making you feel at ease. The real kind — where you’re belly-laughing, teary-eyed, and fully in the moment with your person. That’s where the magic lives. My role is to help you drop in, relax, and let it unfold naturally.

As a photographer, I believe people are made to live in relationships, and the foundation of that is trust! That’s why building a relationship with my couples is the MOST important thing to me. I won’t just be another vendor to you, I’m going to show up. I’m going to be present, honest, open, and vulnerable, because that’s where true trust starts. Thats where real emotion and raw moments come from, and that’s what I want to capture for you, not fabricated perfection. Creating something meaningful and precious to you so that you can always go back to the heart and soul of your relationship and remind you that you can conquer anything together.

I would love to hear about your day to see if we're a fit! Can't wait to hear from you!

I’ve been happily married for almost 27 years. I have three awesome sons. My parakeets Kiwi and Sparky are very social, meaning very loud! Champagne (maybe that’s why I love weddings) and sushi lover here! Photography has been my passion ever since my dad gave me my first film camera and introduced me to the dark room at age of 10. I lived in Japan for 12 years, and even performed on a stage there. I’m always up for a great road trip! I love tuna fishing. I love hats and want to wear them everyday (over 20 hats in my collection). I’ve been shooting beautiful weddings for almost 10 years. I secretly cry at every wedding.

I’m a people person. I’m observant, intuitive, and deeply inspired by real connection. I care about experiences, emotion, and the kind of moments that can’t be staged. I love photography because it’s storytelling in its purest form. It’s the ability to capture energy, emotion, and meaning in a split second. What drives me is creating images that go beyond aesthetics — photos that hold memory, movement, and feeling. For me, photography is about preserving what’s real, so you can return to it again and again.

I would love to connect more with you at katieclarephotos. com! I was raised in Northern California and was drawn to photography in middle school and would enter photos of our family pets or family backpacking trips in our local county fair. My passion for photography grew while working as a hiking guide in Yosemite National Park. I mean… who wouldn’t want a stunning photo of Half Dome? El Capitan? Yosemite Falls? But it has been photographing wedding and couples that I find the most fun and rewarding. I strive to visually capture the “spirit” of my subjects and record an emotional memory of the occasion.
