Your wedding day shouldn't be about watching the clock or following a strict timeline. You've invested so much time and effort into planning every detail leading up to this moment – now is the time to fully embrace it. Let yourself live in the moment and soak in every experience. Your genuine smiles and sweet, spontaneous kisses will naturally reflect the love you feel in the moment. Trust me, it will shine through in your photos.
I want our time together to feel FUN and collaborative. With years of experience in the industry, I've noticed that the most memorable weddings are the ones where couples fully immerse themselves in the celebration of their love. As a photographer, I thrive on capturing those candid moments that truly reflect your relationship – whether it's stealing a kiss during the toasts or sharing a heartfelt moment with the maid of honor. My goal is to capture all the emotions and feelings of your special day, making sure every moment is cherished and preserved for years to come.

You ask.
It definitely varies depending on the time of year, but my turnaround time is typically 2-3 weeks for regular sessions and 4-6 weeks for wedding day galleries. 35mm film photos and super 8 films may take a bit longer to scan and process.
I do not offer raw photos, as most of my style comes from editing and my work isn’t complete until edited.
I am based out of SLC, UT and I most certainly travel. I am available wherever you need me and I am more than happy to come to you. Majority of my clients live outside of UT so traveling is a huge part of my job. I love nothing more than exploring new places and expanding my creativity.
I primarily shoot digital format images with the option to add on 35 mm film rolls.
Regardless of where you are I always create a custom travel quote because of how different each event, location, time of year, needs, and overall circumstances are. The custom travel fee will cover flight, stay, and transportation. I’ve done plenty of traveling for my client’s sessions, weddings, and elopements over the years so I like to keep the travel fees quite simple. If we choose to travel together to a location or you will need me to travel to where you are.
Yay! I’m stoked to hear you think we’d be a good fit. First step is to fill out my inquiry form which you can find that here. Shortly after that is sent to me we will chat about the logistics of your day. After that, all I’ll need from you is a signed contract and a custom retainer to officially seal your date with me.

We love our first look and bridals phots and we are still so very obsessed them 2 years later. You are easy to talk to and get to know and was very quick in your responses and showed you cared about any questions we had. not to mention, you were extremely helpful and understanding when we had to reschedule because of an emergency. Neither me or my husband are great in front of a camera but you have a knack for making people feel at ease and capturing them naturally. your camera work and editing are gorgeous and I can tell you’ve worked really hard to find your niche. you are an artist and I cannot wait to work with you again.

Tana is a dream! Our first shoot with her was super windy and it could’ve been easy to feel discouraged, but she was in good spirits the entire time and the photos turned out so dreamy. You never would’ve known! She loved when we had ideas for a photo and executed them perfectly. You’re stressed about a lot on your wedding day but hiring tana you can guarantee that you won’t be worried about capturing your special moments! My husband also loved the photos and felt his personality came through too which was a huge goal of ours. She’s simply the best.

We contacted Tana to shoot our engagement pictures, our bridal pictures and our whole wedding day. Not only does she know what she’s doing with a camera, but she is also really friendly and approachable which made everything go so smoothly. We couldn’t have been more satisfied with the way they all turned out. She definitely has a unique style that sets herself apart from the majority of photographers in this business. Which is why we would recommend her to anyone looking for an extremely talented photographer!! 10/10!!!

I truly can’t say enough good things about Tana! She shot a couples shoot for my husband and myself before we left for our destination wedding! I was feeling nervous going into the shoot because I’m usually not very comfortable in front of the camera. Tana made us both feel very at ease and comfortable the whole time! The session was honestly so fun and felt very natural, almost like Tana was just tagging along as a friend while we my husband and I played around! The photos are incredible, some of my favorites of us ever! We have them framed in our home now and I will cherish them forever!
Zoe + Treyson
Tana was incredible! Not only did our photos turn out drool worthy, but she made us feel comfortable! My husband and I have zero experience in front of a camera, and typically feel hecka awkward but she genuinely made us feel so comfy, normal, and it was fun!! We genuinely had a blast. If I would have known I would have chosen her for my wedding and will for sure be having her do more of our photos!
McKenna + Grey
Tana has been the best photographer we’ve ever worked with! Our first time shooting with her was the first time ever taking professional photos and my husband and I had no idea what to do, or how to pose, we are awkward when it comes to being in front of the camera. Tana effortlessly guided us to get the best shots and made us feel so much more comfortable bringing out our natural personalities. She is so professional yet friendly and easy going, not to mention her editing is fun, beautiful, and unique, which I feel aligns with her as a person. I trust her with capturing all our most important life moments!

For regular sessions you will receive around 120+ edited photos back, and for weddings you receive around 500 photos back depending on how many hours of coverage. For film — each roll you add on you will receive around 20-30 images back.
