Tara and Matthew are exactly my cup of tea. Funny, smart, classy-crude fashionistas with a flare for the eccentric. I made most of that up, so you can feel free to decide which you think is true. Tara is a rad photographer – which is always fun to shoot, and an added layer of pressure, which I love. She also had about 75 photographer friends at the wedding, like Ralph, Mariah, and Amanda, which takes that pressure and makes it… well, whatever is a little squishier than regular pressure. I wouldn’t have it any other way.
Thanks to Victoria Carslon for being a first class Second.
Enjoy their engagement session and wedding… I dare you not to smile 🙂

Heather ElizabethOddly, looking at these reminds me that if I ever had a rock band, you need to take our photos. Because you are so good that you make a bridal party look like they are in a rock band. Also, your black and whites rock my socks.
