Weddings have come a long way, but there is still a lot of stigma associated with them. They can be stressful, overwhelming, and can create unnecessary pressure to live up to the expectations of others. Here to offer a little news flash for ya.... It doesn't have to be this way. Take a deep belly breath. Seriously, do it! You've found a little space on the internet that's dedicated to thoughtfulness and care. Whether you're looking for a larger wedding filled with generous details OR an intimate elopement designed to uniquely reflect your relationship - I'm here to help you achieve what you've been dreaming of. You deserve photos that have heart + soul, and I'm here to deliver just that.
and I use this to create a welcoming and relaxed environment for all to thrive. If you're camera shy or just inexperienced with having your photos taken, I've got you. Building trust and connection are foundational to my work. Once we become besties (yes, we will) the ease will show through your photos.
You feel ready to make this giant commitment, and everyone around you is encouraging and calming. You will probably feel many different emotions at once. You want your photographer to be right there with you. Feeling all of the feels yet seamlessly blending in with all of the special people you have chosen to witness this milestone.
✿ I live in the PNW with my favorite humans (my husband Ev and our 3 angel daughters).
✿ I'm an advocate for kindness and mindfulness.
✿ My go to genres are 90's RnB & Indie Folk. Make it make sense.
✿ I believe joy is found in the present and encourage others to live there as well.
✿ My interpersonal skills are best put to use by helping others feel comfortable. I'm sorry in advance if your besties become my besties. I can't even help myself.
✿ My home base is in Oregon but I love to explore new places so if your wedding/elopement calls you somewhere else...
"She captured us in our most beautiful natural selves. Like, us, but she pulled the feeling, beauty, and our essences right up to the surface of her photographs….Having your photo taken by someone who really sees you SHOULD be vulnerable, and Taryn is worthy of your trust."
"Taryn is one of the most down to earth and kind spirits I have come to know. To top that off, she is wildly talented!! I adore her and her passion for photography beyond measure!! We just got our gallery in from the photos she took of us and HOLY MOLY I am BLOWN AWAY! Stunning isn’t even a good enough word and I don’t know if there is one to describe just how amazing these photos are!! I can’t emphasize enough how worthy she is to be behind her camera and doing this as her career! We love you Taryn!!!!!"
"Taryn is so genuine and her photos are absolutely stunning…. My friends & family loved her.... and I am still debating which photos to hang up because there are too many favorites."
