Reviews for "Tamsen Photography"
Love them! My girlfriend is thrilled with her wedding photos and I am excited for mine! Tamsen was fabulous to work with!
Tamsen is amazing to work with! She did our engagement and wedding photos and we will be doing a trash the dress with her as well. Her pricing is very reasonable, she is easy to work with, very friendly and her work is fantastic. She really went above and beyond what we expected! I would reccomend her to anyone!
We love, love, love, love our pictures from our wedding that Tamsen took! The formal pictures were beautiful, but the candids are the most cherished hands down (see the pictures attached of the wedding party doing limbo and a potato sack race)!!! We couldn't be more happy with them. And I must admit that I have high expectations and am picky when it came to pictures. As far as I was concerned, the only thing that mattered at the wedding was our vows and the pictures. If everything else fell apart on that day, I could roll with the punches but those 2 things had to be perfect. And they were!! If my friends or family were looking for a photographer, I would pretty much force them to use her.
We thank God for Tamsen every time that we look at our photos! My husband and I were engaged in February and decided in March that we would wed in July. That gave us 4 to five months to plan a wedding in San Clemente/ Orange county while we were living in San Diego. Tamsen was always available to us during the planning. She answered so many of my question. (And believe me probably just like any first time bride I had questions.) I really felt that she cared about my individual wedding. It was not just another shot for her but a special day of two people inlove joining their lives. She offered her advice over all aspects and asked about how my other wedding plans were going! Thanks to her we even found our offiant.
On the big day, Tamsen and her associate arrived early and helped make the atmosphere calming and enjoyable. Everyone had so much fun with the both of them. We never once had to ask what to do or worry about the pictures. She knew exactly what to do! Some how she even got the kids to focus and look at the camera! I do not believe that I have to explain how beautiful these pictures turned out. I will let them speak for themselves. I hope you enjoy them as much as we have. I would hands down recommend them for everyone and anyone's wedding!
Tamsen was amazing, she was very well organized, and we had everything planned months in advance. She was a great timekeeper, making sure we got all of our "must" photos on our wedding day, but without taking hours of our time. It was perfect, she really captured the best of our wedding and her service was unmatched. On the day of the wedding, she arrived at the venue early and figured out the best spots to take pictures. She helped with everything - even fixing hair. She did such a great job and was so attentive that we got compliments from our guests about how nice our photographer was! She did exactly what we wanted, taking a perfect balance of staged and impromptu photos. My Wife and I would recommend her to anyone who is getting married. If you want a professional who really cares about your wedding and will provide exactly what they say they will, AND offers an excellent price in as well, book Tamsen for your wedding!
This the best Photographer out in the Wedding field that your ever find!
Tamsen was the photographer for my wedding on June 28th of this year and she did a great job. At the wedding she made sure to remind me if I needed a touch up on my make-up or hair throughout the night and she even carried my lip gloss. She wasn't intrusive during the wedding at all and we barely even noticed she was taking pictures and they came out beautifully. She did exactly what I asked for and then some. She has a great personality and she always got back to me very quickly with any questions or concerns that I had. We also scheduled a "Trash the Dress" shoot which was just perfection. We've actually hired her to do a family shoot for my husband's grandmother's 75th birthday.
What a great photographer! I have so enjoyed working with vendor! She has been outstanding to respond to all of my questions. I felt bad that I had so mnay questions as I have a large family and want to make sure everyone is involved in some of the shots. She never seemed bothered and always responded so quickly to my questions or concerns. Our engagaments shots were also amazing!!!! Such a great company to work with and the prices are really good!!!
we were married last month, and Tamsen was our photographer. She did the most amazing photo. I can not say enough good things about her. our family and friends can't get over the beauty of her work. The best thing is that she was the one vendor I did not have to worry about. She was on time,dressed well, very fun and professional. Tamsen will not waste time she is fast and that was a good thing because we all wanted to party!!
Wow!! we just got our photos and love them> Tamsen is the best to work with. My hubby hates having his pic taken but she was fast and made it fun for all of us. She did not judge us (we are tattoo artist and own our shop) by what we look like. Everyone at our wedding loved her. Better yet she came in under our budget and also gave us a CD with all our photos on it with our proofs. Tamsen knows what she is doing she is a true Master at her craft.
Tamsen is the best! She had wonderful ideas for our engagement pictures. They turned out wonderfully. After just a short engagement session, I cannot wait for her and Leon to be part of our BIG DAY!
Our pictures were so natural and totally captured the way we feel about each other. Our pictures completely represented who we are and how we are together. They were perfect!
Thank you, Tamsen!
Talented...probably more of a gift....Tamsen is one of select few that captures the special moments on your wedding day. How do you get the "shots" that show the romance, the closeness, not just your love, but with a frolic flair? One bride and groom flew Tamsen to Paris for their wedding! She's traveled the world and shot exotic landscapes. Whether it's the close up of your wedding rings or your eyes through your veil or stealing a kiss... Professional, comfortable for all cultures.... Tamsen was our wedding photographer in a lovely outdoor setting and we couldn't have been happier.
I just want to say we used Tamsen Photography for our wedding and loved her! The photos where better then I could hope for,her and Leon ( the 2ed photographer) are so much fun, and easy to work with. They are the best.
Tamsen and her colleague Leon were AMAZING!!! We have nothing, but wonderful things to say about them. Both of them were completely reliable, professional, funny, and friendly. Tamsen was always willing to work with us in anything necessary to accommodate to our budget and needs. Her professionalism speaks for itself.
The first time we worked together was for the engagement session, and after that day, we just loved the two of them. The engagement pictures were phenomenal; they were beautiful, natural, and really captured the essence of who we were and the love we felt for each other.
On the day of the wedding Tamsen and Leon went above and beyond in making the day memorable, fun, and most important in capturing every little detail of the wedding. My now husband does not like to take pictures, well on that day Tamsen and Leon took close to 700 hundred pictures and my husband did not complain once. They made it seem so fun and natural that we did not notice how they took so many pictures. They were unobtrusive and blended well with the guests. Of course the pictures were incredibly beautiful and breathtaking. The combination of pictures they took was just amazing. They really paid close attention to every single detail, making us look our absolute best. I just love our wedding pictures and the way they captured the magic of every moment.
We absolutely love Tamsen and Leon. We highly recommend them to anyone, anytime, anywhere!!! As a matter of fact, we were so fascinated by their work that we’ve asked Tamsen to be our photographer for my pregnancy and for when our baby is ready to take his/her first professional pictures.
Thank you Tamsen and Leon for such beautiful wedding pictures!!!!
Love,
Jimmy and Norma
We had such a great time at the wedding, Tamsen and Leon were so helpful and fit right in. Everyone had wonderful things to say about them. They gave such good direction and made everything go by so quickly. I remember we took 2 hours at my girlfriends wedding to take the wedding party photos!! We went down to the beach for our pictures, and we were done quickly. We didnt want to miss a lot at the wedding, and Tamsen ensured that we didn't. The pics were fun and I can't wait to see them.
I appreciated all of their help with even the traditional items I had not thought about, like the corsages, boutieneires, and veil. I forgot to research the traditions that went along with these, but Tamsen filled in those blanks. She even saved me by having some extra "tape" to help hold my dress in place. I don't think I could have had a more helpful person, who also melded so well into the crowd. It was so nice to meet them and Leon and I hope that I can refer them to my friends, and they can be as happy as we were with their presence at our wedding.
I am sure I will have more to say after getting our photos, but until then....
Tamsen is wonderful with the camera and it shows in her work. When I saw my daughter's engagement pictures, which were taken earlier this year, I knew the pictures from her October 3rd wedding were going to be just a beautiful and I was right. She had picutres in our hands within a couple of weeks. She is extreamly professional and courteous and her price met our tight budget. You will find Tamsen to be truly a lovely person to work with.
Tamsen Photography is great to work with. Coming from a DJ-MC in the wedding industry for 25 years Tamsen does fantastic work!

Hello Tamsen,
My goodness! We just got the pictures yesterday. The pictures are better than I could have ever imagined. Thank you so much. We both are so greatful for all you have done for us. I can not wait to show them off to everyone and to submit my story to the magazine.
I know at an earlier time we discussed that I would look at the pictures and tell you which ones I would like in the wedding album. I was wondering, if the photo book that you in enclosed with that beautiful box is it? Or would you still like me to let you know which pictures we have picked out. If so how many do we pick? By the way that box is a beautiful way to present them. We have set it in our apartment where it will be the first thing our guests will see. Please let me know how I should proceed.
Also, it has come to my attention that the best man never tipped you at the wedding. I am so very sorry and very embarrassed. I will take care of that as soon as possible. Your work is incredible and I will definitely mention your name whenever I speak of my wedding photos. Casa Romantica has asked us to write up a story for them and I will definitely mention your name there as well. I know that I have said this before but we really do thank God for you and what you have done for us. Kent and I are very inlove and you have shown us in a different way how luck we really are. I have probably look at the pictures twenty time already and have not once gotten through them without tearing up. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Sincerely,
Laura Pfledderer
On February 14th, 2009, my husband George and I were married in a private ceremony at Huntington Beach, CA. Tamsen photographed this joyous occasion for us.
In my lifetime I have seen numerous wedding photos, both of people I know and others, as in magazines, newspapers, etc. I had seen samples of Tamsen's work so I was expecting lovely photos of our wedding. Nothing could have prepared me for what I saw when I opened the cd a week later and viewed my pictures.
The photographs Tamsen shot of our special day were nothing less than breathtaking. She captured every expression, every emotion. I have never before seen wedding pictures as beautiful as those that Tamsen took of our wedding. I could not have been happier. People that look at our pictures say the feel like were "were actually there."
In addition, Tamsen was a joy to work with. She was pleasant and sweet on the phone, friendly yet very professional as she worked to photograph our wedding, and very expedient with getting our cd to us so we could enjoy our pictures very soon after.
If Tamsen lived in Michigan, where I live, I would recommend her to everyone I know who is getting married here. Those of you living in the So-Cal area should definitely use Tamsen for your wedding photo needs. You will not be sorry. She is a talented professional,an amazing artist and a wonderful, sweet person--a combination hard to find.
