Vanessa & Donald's Wedding

June 22, 2011

Hi Tara!

Don and I just got our photo album and we absolutely loved it!! You captured every moment so perfectly and designed the album beautifully! I just wanted to thank you again so much for your work. You are incredibly talented!

Sincerely,

Vanessa

"We are finally ready Tara!!! Let's get to the church!!!"

Could this brother and sister duo be any more adorable?!!

I love how their cake-top groom is wearing an air force uniform just like Don's and the bride is a miniature version of vibrant Vanessa:)

Guests got fun crazy with the high-tech photo booth set outside of the reception.

"Dear Tara, I just wanted to drop you an email to say the photos look fantastic!...I loved looking through all of the photos and reliving Vanessa and Don's special day. I can't wait to see their album. I look forward to recommending you to friends and hopefully someday my own weddding :-) Warm regards, Patty" - Maid of Honor/ sister of Bride. Feb 6, 2011

Maggie & David- Palace of Fine Arts fun:)

"I am really happy that you captured these pictures the way that you did. It looks just how David and I are with each other. The angles...and it doesn't even look like we are really posing either!! LOL you have made this experience GREAT! Thank you so much for making us take a bunch of pictures so we have a lot to pick from:) You did a great job and we had fun with you and liked how you made us feel comfortable with you. I can't thank you enough." Maggie- Feb 1, 2011

Alicia & Jeremiah - Victorian elegance in San Rafeal

The guys were so ahead of schedule before the wedding, that they had time to play some tennis!

The ring bearer enjoyed holding onto one of the bridesmaids bouquet every chance he got.

The sweetest cake ever. "Chocolate Made with love by Aunt Cindy"...ahhhh:)

"Thank you Tara for all of your beautiful work, both on the day of our wedding and after. We were so happy to have you a part of our celebration and will cherish the photos and book. Thank you! Love Alicia & Jeremiah" - Alicia - Jan 2011

Andaz -GM Portrait

Andaz San Diego was looking for a funky vibe to capturing their new GM, Rusty.

Helen & Andrew

Helen & Andrew...we had a terrific time playing up to the camera in Coronado. And who says you don't know how to look good in photos, Helen?! :)

Gloria & Adam's Vineyard Celebration

Gloria and Adam's wedding was one of the most fun events I have covered. Her friends in the choir sang the most heavenly songs during the ceremony, she loved going crazy in front of the camera, there were games during the reception and I heard some of the best speeches I could imagine. Congratulations Gloria and Adam!

Gloria and her classic beauty...lovely!!

Gloria and her mom waiting to see if her dad will come through with a huge grin for the camera. Almost! Later that night while he was dancing, there were plenty captured. Yeah! Mission accomplished!

Grapevine kisses

"The pictures are beautiful and we had a great time looking through them! I couldn't stop smiling as I clicked on each picture. I honestly had no idea my dad teared up as much during the ceremony, though Adam knew his mom would. You did such a wonderful job of capturing so many wonderful emotions and memories on film, I felt like I was reliving the wedding again."

"...additionally we wanted to say that we were very impressed with you and your assistant the day of the wedding! We loved how friendly, patient, and professional you both were, and how easily you were able to work with people of varying personalities and comfort in front of the camera." Gloria -Aug 26, 2010
