Tara you are AMAZING!!!

My husband and I couldnt be any luckier to have Tara shoot our engagement pics and our entire wedding day. Not only was Tara super sweet, she was so fun, easy going and made our e-session and wedding day stress free and special.

From the moment I contacted her to meet us she was super quick to return every phone call, text, or email...and she had some great ideas and tips for the e-session. She finished our e-pics in less than two weeks and her work is incredible. We fell in love with sooo many pics from our e-shoot and are so antsy and excited to see our wedding day pics...we cant wait!!!!

Tara brought a second shooter for the entire day (Noah) and both arrived earlier than was in our contract- I was so happy! She took the time to listen to all the special shots I wanted and had my husband and I recreate every one of them. She was great with our family and wedding party too and everyone loved how she directed us during photos, knew all our names.. and wasnt bossy at all.

Tara made our special day stress free!! She worked out certain details as to timing of certain entrances, dances, bouqet toss etc with our DJ and made our day really seamless. Our guests went crazy over the little photo booth and it was a huuuge it with everyone--from flowergirls to our grandparents. She included a special slideshow of our e-pics and our wedding dady ( which we ALL loved) about 30 mins before our reception ended. It really was a perfect ending to a perfect night. It was so great to see the moment when I walked down the aisle, to the moment we were pronounced as husband and wife...we were able to share those moments again with our family and friends and we will never forget being able to pause for a few mins to re-live those moments ... it really was perfect.

Tara..you and your work is amazing. Thank you SO much for making our day so incredible...we cant wait to see the pics. I also want to thank you for our gift in the bridal suite. That was such an incredible surprise and is already hanging in our new condo :) :) :)

Thanks again...I cant wait to refer you to other brides!!

Tara, Tara, Tara.... She blew me away with her talent! When we first were introduced to Tara by a mutual friend, she drove all the way down to San Diego from her home in San Clemente, just to go over what she was all about. She brought all her books & her adorable personality! It was kind of a no brainer to choose Tara just from first impression alone. She even enjoyed a margarita with us at our apartment and just chilled for awhile talking about how we met, who we were, etc. When our Engagement session came around, Tara made my not-so-comfy-infront-of-the-camera Husband, completely at ease. The Epics turned out AMAZING!!!!
Then came the Wedding day: She was able to control our very "excited" 16 person+ bridal party & still managed to capture some awesome pictures. She brought an amazing/funny/lighthearted team with her, and ever single picture came out awesome. With all the stresses & tears that came from that day, she still made us look like super models!
Tara always returned my emails, phone calls, and text messages in a timely manner and never made me feel like I was inconveniencing her (which with all my bridal planning questions, Im sure I did)!
Tara sure does deliver & I would use her over & over & over if I could.

If you are still looking for a photographer, look no further! Tara is the BEST photographer around. She gets those traditional shots, but she also captures candid moments and unstaged emotions. She has a great eye and her photos look like a work of art! We've gotten SO many compliments from all who've seen the photos.

For our engagement photos she traveled all the way up to Santa Barbara so that we could have photos taken in our sentimental spots. For the wedding she created a beautiful slideshow with photos from our childhood as well as from our time together, and even a few amazing shots from earlier in the wedding day. She also set up a photo booth with fun props that our guests absolutely loved!

If I could give more than 5 stars I would!

Thanks Tara for providing us with a most beautiful way to remember our day!

We just got married on Friday night and Tara did an AMAZING job with the photos from start to finish. From the moment we met her last August, we knew we had found someone who was fun, professional, EXTREMELY talented, and exceptional to work with. She listened to what we wanted, and infused her own vibe into our wedding process. Tara was flexible, and even came to our pre-wedding rehearsal kickball game to get some photos. Everyone in our wedding party and guests was impressed - she had photos up by the end of the evening for our wedding "slideshow". We are anxiously waiting to see the additional photos. We would highly recommend Tara - and already have to friends. Tara, thank you for making our wedding unforgettable and perfect!!!!

Wow! Tara is amazing! Her work speaks for itself & she is such a great person. We are so fortunate that we found her for our wedding. My husband is a photographer so I knew it'd be a challenge to find someone he was happy with. Tara was the first person we met up with & we instantly knew she was the right person! We are still raving about her to all of our friends and family! She is very accommodating & KNOWS HER STUFF! She is very professional but still makes your picture taking sessions tons of fun! Her prices are very competetive (she's so awesome, we would've paid more if she asked!). We had no worries during our engagement shoot & wedding, we knew we were in great hands! I cannot say enough great things about her, I could go on & on & on!!!! You will not regret having Tara as your photographer....I promise!!!

I never thought I would be so excited, willing, and happy to show off my wedding pictures to everyone (even to complete strangers)! When seeing the photos for the first time, I was amazed at some of the shots that photographers wouldn't normally capture (or at least not without a lot of interference, I would think). I was quite surprised and pleased at being able to keep the more intimate moments on film, and the whole time it felt like Tara was peaking in, smiling and capturing a special story that was just starting to be told. I would recommend Tara to all brides!

I have worked with Tara Sieling Photography on several weddings and I highly recommend her. She is creative and professional; making each couple feel at ease. As a wedding planner, it is so nice to work with a photographer who keeps to the schedule and can get the amazing shots that the bride & groom expect!

I have worked with Tara and she has shot my own wedding (a job I'd trust to few!). When I think of everything i want in a wedding photographer Tara's name pops up. She's fun, she's easy going, she's good at what she does!

I had an opportunity to work with Tara at one of the weddings. She was amazing, I loved her prohessionalism, vision, and style. The bride, bridal party and the families felt at ease with Tara and in front of the camera, the images came out gorgeous!

Tara Sieling has a great style, and brings a fresh element to her photos that Brides love. Tara is not only a young and talented photographer, she is the kind of the person you want as part of your wedding day: Positive, genuine, organized and accommodating. We love Tara - one meeting with her and you'll love her too!
