Capturing love stories for those that want more than just
pretty photos
I celebrate love in all its grandeur and subtlety! Located in the heart of Central Minnesota, my passion for wedding photography knows no bounds, and I'm ready to travel anywhere to capture your special day. I believe that every wedding is a unique and beautiful love story, and I'm committed to preserving those precious moments with care and dedication. I can't wait to get to know you and hear all about your love story!
I'm not just your typical wedding photographer. I'm a sap, and I proudly wear my heart on my sleeve. Whether it's the first look with your dad, an intimate exchange of vows with your hunny, or an emotional speech at dinner, I'll definitely shed a tear or two. There's something so magical about weddings that tug at my heartstrings, and I'm so honored to witness and document those intimate, tender moments for you! I'm invested in all of my couples! To say I LOVE love is an understatement.
My philosophy is simple: your wedding day should be a virtually stress-free experience, and it's my mission to make that dream a reality. To me, at the end of the day, tying the knot is the most important part. My goal genuinely is to help you both enjoy your day as much as possible, give you little quiet moments to soak in all the love, and capture all those special moments so you can look back at the photos for many many years to come. I want you to focus on each other and savor the emotions that come with every moment of your day knowing I have every photo covered. I pride myself on capturing those candid and authentic moments that make your love story unique. I'm your hype girl, your bestie, your go-to for wedding advice, whatever you need. I'm there!
One of the ways I make your day stress-free is by not only being your photographer but also your wedding day ally. Ill be there to help with your planning process, offering my expertise and insight to help you navigate the many decisions leading up to your big day. I'll work closely with you to create a personalized and custom timeline, ensuring all the moments you envision being captured are and that the day flows smoothly.
I understand that your wedding day is a reflection of your authentic selves, and my goal is to capture the essence of your love in every photograph. Whether you're the adventurous, free-spirited couple running through fields, the classic lovebirds sharing a dance, or anything in between, I'm here to make your unique love story come to life through my lens.
In the midst of the laughter, tears, and joy, I consider it an honor to be a part of your wedding day. So if you're looking for a photographer who is passionate, emotional, and dedicated to you and the beauty of your love story, look no further. TAZ Photography is here to help you tell your story.
If you dream of planning a beautiful wedding that's 100% about celebrating your and your partner's love, a photographer is one key piece in that planning process that I will 110% deliver on.
If you envision pretty, perfectly posed, Pinterest-esque photos, I may not be your gal and that's completely okay! I'm WAY more than just the girl behind the camera. I'm 110% invested in you and your day, from making sure you're staying hydrated to ensuring there's time for you and your Hunny to sneak away for a private moment, taking breathtaking golden hour photos while also taking a moment away from the noise to take a moment for yourselves. If you're a fun-loving couple that wants photos that capture who you are and your love for each other, I have a feeling I'm the one for you!😍
First things first, do your research. Make sure you like what you see and once you inquire, let's chat! Once you inquire, I send over all the deets and a link to schedule a phone call/FaceTime so we can chat and see if we're a good fit. If we're the perfect match, I'll send over the contract for you to review and sign as well as pay the retainer.
It's engagement session time! We meet up and have a blast capturing the sweetest photos of your love during your engagement session. We all laugh, you do some silly prompts I give you, I take lots of photos, and then you leave thinking that was WAY more painless than expected! Your online gallery will be delivered to your inbox within 4-5 weeks and you get to sit down with your Hunny and relive the fun session! Make sure to monitor your inbox in case so we can have a seamless line of communication. About 1-2 months before your wedding, I'll send you a questionnaire and start defining your timeline!
Alright, it's official! You're now officially a TAZ Photography couple once you've signed the contract and paid the retainer. It's time to start planning your big day! I'll send my wedding guide so you get all the tips and tricks from someone inside the wedding industry. Then we get to schedule and plan your engagement session!
It's the big day! It's FINALLY here! You've done all the planning and prepping you possibly can it's time to see how it all comes together! You've done all the hard work up until this point, now it's time for you to sit back, relax, and enjoy your day! Know I've got your back and am making sure I capture all the fun and sentimental candids as well as making sure we get to everything on your timeline. I'll make sure your day runs smoothly and if something goes awry, I'll help in whatever way I can! You say I do, tie the knot, and then it's time to party the night away! Within 48 to 72 hours you get a sneak peek and then before you know it, you get your full wedding gallery and you're sitting down with your Hunny reliving your most dreamy day. You can send your online gallery to all your loved ones, order photos or other products through the online store connected to your gallery so you can decorate your home, and you can look back at the photos to relive your wedding day whenever you want!
Have a few questions to make sure we're the perfect fit?
I'm based in Central Minnesota currently. Heck yeah I travel! I LOVE to travel and am down to travel anywhere anytime. Send an inquiry and let's chat!
My 2024 + 2025 books are open! I have a limited number of weddings I take so keep that in mind.
YESSS! Hiring your cousin's friend with a camera for $300 may sound like a steal, but hiring a non-professional is dangerous. You're risking your precious moments. Booking a photographer who checks all the legal boxes (being insured, paying taxes, being a registered business, etc.) is an absolute must! Yes, I am a fully insured, tax-paying, and registered LLC.
I will be your main photographer the day of and am completely comfortable photographing alone! However, I normally bring an assistant to help run small errands throughout the day for me. A second shooter can be added to any wedding package! I have second shooters who I've worked with who know what shots to get and how to help the day of the wedding.
Engagement sessions are the perfect opportunity to connect before your special day! They're completely customizable so if you envision photos by a lake or in Target where you first met, we can make it happen! Most wedding packages include an engagement session, but one can always be added to the ones that don't. If you want a destination engagement session, mention it in your inquiry and we'll chat!
Contact me for all the deets and availability! Not sure how many hours of coverage you need? Let’s set up a meeting and chat about your vision for your special day to make sure you get all the photos you want! On average, TAZ Photography couples have 9 hours of coverage and spend about $3999. We can customize the amount of coverage needed so be sure to schedule a meeting to chat!
Yes, I require a 30% retainer upon booking and the rest is due within two weeks of your wedding day. I send reminders through my client portal with your invoice!
Every wedding is different in length, in the happenings, etc. but a typical wedding gallery is about 600-700 high-resolution edited digital images. I promise you'll receive the best of what I shoot!
Unfortunately no. I don't share raws as half of my art is my editing process. I love sending a completely finished gallery knowing you'll get to see photos that I worked my magic on!
You sure can! I retain copyright, but I do give print release with all wedding packages. If you want to go through my professional lab and get high-quality, lasting prints and other products, I have a super easy ordering system through your online gallery.
