By blending art, storytelling, and an instinctive understanding of human connections, I weave together a tapestry of images that reflect the depth, beauty, and authenticity of each love story I have the privilege to witness. With every frame, I exalt the extraordinary love that intertwines the lives of two people, creating visual legacies that will be cherished for a lifetime.
As a visual narrator of extraordinary love, it is my honor to bring these stories to life, preserving the joy, passion, and pure magic that emanate from the depths of the heart. Through my lens, love finds its voice, and each photograph becomes a testament to the power of human connection.
immortalizing moments of pure magic
With over 15 years of capturing moments behind the camera, my journey has been fueled by art, design, storytelling, and adventure.
Immersed in history, culture, and travel, I pursued a Bachelor's in Graphic Design at Kent State University and embarked on a transformative Master's in Fine Art, which I completed with Distinction in Belfast, Northern Ireland.
These profound experiences have shaped my approach to wedding photography and portraiture, driven by a deep fascination with love stories—their uniqueness, evolution, and their profound impact on the tapestry of the universe.
Each love story unfolds with serendipity, and I am constantly in awe of how a life dedicated to love can blossom. My clients quickly become like family, and I am honored to be there for them beyond their wedding day, witnessing their journey as their families grow. It's a privilege beyond my wildest imagination—where the joy only amplifies over time.
In a world where love takes center stage, I step behind the lens as a visual narrator, dedicated to capturing extraordinary moments of affection, tenderness, and connection. Through artistry and meticulous attention to detail, I craft compelling visual narratives that unfold like chapters in a love story.
With each click of the shutter, I aim to evoke genuine emotions and immortalize the profound bonds that exist between two souls. I believe that love is a language of its own, and through my photographs, I strive to give it a voice—an eloquent expression that transcends words.
Revealing the poetic dance of extraordinary love
"Tara has the ability to capture your essence, that magic which is nearly impossible to reveal in a photo if you know the camera is on you."

a few more notes:
A portion of every wedding I shoot is donated to Oceana. Since its founding, Oceana has won more than 225 victories and protected more than 4.5 million square miles of ocean.
Growing up by the ocean left a major imprint on my life and this is my way of giving back to the sea what was given to us - life.
To me, travel is expansion - expansion is life!
Whether on rugged adventures or for stays in boutique hotels, you'll often find me on the road - always with a camera at hand.
Living in Ireland, I learned to play the bodhran, and while living in Germany, I learned to speak ein bisschen Deutsch. I also honed my drinking skills thanks to many rounds of Redbreast & Kölsch - but never in the same night.. or any that I can remember..
Your wedding supports
ocean conservation.
Witnessing others learn is the greatest gift, and it keeps me continually learning through this connection with others.
I have taught photography at the University level for both beginner and advanced digital & commercial photography.
I also had the privilege of being the main educator for the Fuji-funded Photography Works Program at the Center for Exploratory & Perceptual Arts Gallery.
