Tarah Shea
West Coast girly living out her dream—camera in hand, heart wide open
I'm Tarah, living life with my sweet husband George and our two Shih Tzus, Monster and Gizmo. When I'm not capturing love stories, I'm either planning my next travel adventure or soaking in a cozy night at home with my go-to comfort shows: The Golden Girls and The Nanny (yes, Fran Fine is forever iconic). Fun fact? Before photography, music was my first love. I spent years singing and performing across California and Arizona—so storytelling has always been in my bones. Now, I just tell it through a lens.
In January 2024, I discovered Tarah on Instagram, and I remember feeling a bit anxious about finding the right photographer for our September 2024 wedding. The moment she replied to my message, I knew she was it! Not only did my husband and I find the most amazing photographer, but we also gained a new friend who would be there to capture some of the most meaningful moments of our lives. Tarah was the perfect mix of professionalism, warmth, comfort, and humor. Every photo she took of us laughing felt so natural and never staged—she truly has a gift for making you feel at ease in front of the camera. Her turnaround time was the quickest I’ve ever seen from a photographer, and every single photo she delivered was perfect. I get emotional every time I look at our engagement and wedding photos because Tarah gave us the greatest gift—beautiful memories that perfectly capture the most important moments my husband and I have shared. Tarah and her husband, George, are also incredible content creators who captured the most beautiful, heartfelt moments of our day. In addition to an album of 800+ stunning photos, I also received over 70 videos and a breathtaking short film they created together of our wedding day. They are truly the best in the business! Tarah and I still stay in touch, and I’m so excited to work with her again soon. She’ll always be our "go-to" gal!
With Love,

We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer for our wedding, and we’re even luckier to now call Tarah a friend. From the moment we booked her, she was honest, transparent, and always kept the lines of communication open. She made every step of the process feel effortless, and her positive energy is absolutely contagious.
On the wedding day, she made us feel so comfortable and truly captured every special moment with care and attention. She has a way of blending professionalism with a genuine, kind-hearted personality, and it shows not only in her work but in the relationships she builds. We are beyond grateful for her talent and the friendship that came from it.
Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will go above and beyond, both behind the camera and as a person.
With Love,

The 2 most important things to have when planning a wedding: the love of your life and the best photographer/ content creator. Lucky for me I found both!! I had never met/ talked to Tarah before booking her but based on her social media, I knew she was the best choice for our “romantic cabin wedding”. Her experience as a wedding photographer really helped make things run smoothly and get the ‘must have’ pictures plus she is a great timeline planner. Her and George were personable, professional, and got all the best angles all day long. My bridesmaids constantly talk about how comfortable they felt with Tarah and how she helped angle us for the best pictures. Both of them were able to capture all the emotions of the big day and all the details that we may have missed as the bride and groom. To be able to capture such an important day for 2 people and deliver above and beyond is a talent that Tarah and George have in abundance. They work in unison to deliver beautifully edited works of art while not being overbearing in your face photographers. They genuinely felt like part of the wedding party and I would hire them again for every life milestone if I could. I could go on about how professional they are as vendors and the excellent timeframe in which they deliver your portfolio, but their passion is what shines through most to us. Thank you again Tarah and George for giving us one of the best wedding gifts to look back on!!.
With Love,
Toni
