For the bride that wants more than just
pretty pictures
I’m not just here to snap pretty photos. I’m here to capture your messy, magical, totally-you love story. From Minnesota elopements to wild destination weekends, I’ve got you!
The best photos are full of genuine laughter, real emotions, and meaningful moments. In front of my camera, you can be your genuine selves. You can feel free to laugh, kiss, dance, and share those intimate, spontaneous moments that make your love story unique and meaningful when I photograph you.
Your journey to and on your wedding day isn't just a celebration, it's a new beginning. It's my mission to capture exactly that. Whether it's candid laughs, tears, or any of the 'in-between' moments that make up your love story, my mission is to create magic and show your authentic story through my photography.

Minnesota Wedding +
Portrait Photographer
Hi, I'm Taryn! I'm your Minnesota Wedding Photographer! I’m a go-with-the-flow kind of gal who’s happiest outside; whether that looks like hiking, chasing sunsets, or road-tripping somewhere new. You can also find me roadtripping or walking with my puppy Tater (he’s a Doberman/Aussie Shepherd mix with a big personality and major sass energy 🐾).
I love good romance and crime books, live music, comfort TV, deep convos, and trying anything at least once, especially if it means discovering something new and making memories. I’m wildly obsessed with photography, deeply in love with Minnesota, and even more in love with traveling everywhere else.
My approach is all heart, no pressure. While I'm here to give guidance and advice, I’m truly here to capture the real stuff. The belly laughs, the in-between glances, the wild dance floor chaos. Let’s turn your love into photos that feel like you. I believe your wedding day deserves to be captured in a way that feels real, romantic, and timeless. As a wedding photographer in Sauk Centre, MN, I specialize in documenting the little details, the big moments, and everything in between. Whether you’re planning a Twin Cities wedding, a rustic barn celebration in Willmar, or a lakeside ceremony in Alexandria, I’ll be there to preserve your story beautifully.

Here's What Makes TAZ Photography
Different
I offer free consultations! I care about making sure your day is exactly what you envision, so I make time for a video call or phone call when we need to work out some details of your day.
No awkward poses here! I keep it real and do more of a lifestyle approach when I photograph. I give you prompts, and you and your honey actually move in natural ways so you don't feel awkward in front of my camera.
Not sure who to hire for your other wedding vendors? I offer a 'preferred vendor list' which is composed of other vendors that I've personally worked with and love their work and personality.
I create a custom timeline to fit your needs, coverage, and moments throughout the day.
I care about you! I care about creating a connection and getting to know you. This allows me to create meaningful friendships and take awesome photos of you that are genuine!
