About Thara Photo
Thara Photo
Hi, I’m Tim! I photograph joyful, laid-back weddings without all the awkward posing. Whether you’re camera-shy or total naturals, I’ll make sure you feel comfortable, confident, and completely yourselves. Nothing artificial here. If you want a wedding day that feels fun and photos that feel the same — you’re in the right place.
When I began to capture important moments for couples, I realized that photography is more than just snapshots with fancy equipment—it's about creating a space where people can truly be themselves. I discovered that stunning images come naturally when there's a solid connection between us. Photography isn't just a profession for me; it's my passion. There's something profoundly rewarding about capturing raw emotions and genuine moments. No matter who you are, I want to ensure you not only look your best but also feel completely at ease in front of the lens. Because everyone deserves to feel like a superstar in their photos.

Amazing Photographer
Tim is absolutely incredible. He is so easy to work with and such a great person to be around. His photos turn out incredible and really capture the emotions of the moment. He also was incredible with our 3 fur babies! Everything was more than we could've asked for and was a dream to work with-- literally had nothing to worry about leading up to the day and day of the wedding was seamless! All the candid photos were priceless! We couldn't recommend Tim more!

Tim is, without a doubt, the best photographer we've ever worked with. From start to finish, he made the entire experience enjoyable and effortless, and we're incredibly grateful for the beautiful memories he captured. One of the things that impressed us most was how personal every photo felt. Tim took the time to understand who we are as a couple, and it truly shows in the final images. Nothing felt staged or forced—each photo reflects our personalities and the genuine emotions of the day. My partner and I are usually uncomfortable in front of the camera, but Tim immediately put us at ease. His calm, friendly approach helped us relax, and he guided us naturally without making us feel self-conscious. As a result, every photo looks authentic and full of joy. His ability to work with natural light is exceptional, and he captured so many meaningful moments with beautiful composition and attention to detail. Looking through our gallery brought us right back to those moments, and we couldn't be happier with the results. We truly enjoyed working with Tim and wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for a talented, professional photographer who genuinely cares about capturing your story.

How long can these reviews go? Tim is professional, he’s prompt, he’s punctual, he’s kind, he’s talented, and he’s 1000% worth the investment into his services. I was a fan of his photography before I was getting married and having the chance to work with him was unbelievable. He’s everything you want an artist to be. He has the eye, he’s going to give you those “wow” shots that you’ll print and hang on your wall forever. He hit us with a preview of the pictures what seemed to be in about 24 hours. Who has that kind of turnaround while being swamped with shoots in the summer? He’s thoughtful in his shots, making sure that every shot is carefully placed and lighted correctly. He found all of the locations at our venue to put us in the best lighting with the best aesthetic. I don’t know how or when, but I’ll hire Tim again. I’ll pay for his hotel room to make him drive further if that’s what it takes. Unreal. Thank you, Tim, for making our wedding day as magical as it was.
Thara Photo•Jul 22, 2026Really appreciate these kind words, Jared. So awesome to meet and work with you two!

Tim was amazing to work with for our wedding day! We could not have had a better photographer. He was professional, efficient and adaptive— which was important when working with weather changes and crowds. He captured every moment we asked for and everything else in between. He truly made an incredible day even better and now we have incredible photos to remember it thanks to him.
Thara Photo•May 29, 2026Thanks for those kind words, Matthew. I had a great time capturing your day. You two were a pleasure.
