Tara Beth Photography is a place of inclusion, empathy, intimacy, and care. From the first email, I take care with my clients. Considering them all unique, and with that, their stories being unique. We talk about how you want to be captured, how your love should be captured. We go over insecurities, love stories, and anything else that may come up during our Zoom calls. I don't want to be just someone you hire. I want to be considered someone you trust, and enjoy to have around!

My wife and I had the pleasure of working with Tara Beth for our wedding in December 2022. We started following her instagram years prior and fell in love with how she captured every moment, from the guests to the couple. Not only were her photos amazing, but being a part of the LGBTQ community can feel daunting at times when reaching out to vendors, specifically for same-sex weddings. We had a few tough experiences with other vendors in regards to being a same-sex couple, but Tara Beth, as she is a part of the community, made it easy to feel comfortable and accepting. We contacted her and were met with a quick response. From the start, we knew she was the one. Her vibe and passion for love sold us! My wife and I were very nervous to take photos, but Tara Beth reassured us that she would walk us through everything - and she did just that. She talked us through our first look and it was an amazing experience. She also guided our party and family photos, which was super helpful as we were able to get our photos done ahead of schedule! We appreciate everything Tara Beth did for our special day and would recommend her 100 times over!

We could rave about DJ Thrilla all day long, but in the words of our wedding guests: “Best dance floor we’ve seen in a long time!” It’s been weeks since our wedding and our guests can’t stop talking about how great the music was. Arthur did a great job with the ceremony and cocktail hour, and managed a tricky parent dance section (multiple sets of parents & timing!) We requested a Taylor Swift mashup and he exceeded expectations and made it the highlight of our night. The dance floor was always packed, and Arthur did a great job of taking into account our requests while playing music everyone would enjoy. We opted to use uplighting as well, which looked beautiful during dinner (we chose a warm lighting) and was so fun for the dance floor with flashing lights. By the end of the night, he even had guests asking him to travel to Texas to DJ their wedding! Booking DJ Thrilla was one of the best vendor decisions we made for our wedding and we could not recommend him more!

As a documentary-style photographer, I truly believe that the essence of life is captured in the unscripted, candid moments that often go unnoticed-- Each click of my camera is more than just a snapshot; it’s an opportunity to freeze time and preserve the love, joy, and uniqueness of your moments for generations to come.

Anna is absolutely incredible and such a pleasure to work with. She really knows how to make you feel comfortable in front of the camera. Her work is absolutely phenomenal as well. I have never been so pleased with a photographer before! Her editing is beautiful and she really can just capture emotions in her photos. Her photography became my favorite aspect of my wedding. She did not only our wedding photos, but a few other shoots as well, including our engagement photos. She is honestly the only person I would trust/recommend to capture your sweet wedding memories. I honestly don’t have enough words to describe how much I cherish the photos that she has taken for the special moment in our lives.

With Kaity Campbell Events, you will have a truly luxurious customer experience from the moment you sign your contract all the way up to your event day, and even beyond. We believe that every wedding should be a reflection of your unique love story, and we are here to ensure that every detail is perfectly tailored to your desires. Our passion for creating unforgettable experiences, combined with our industry expertise, allows us to curate a seamless and stress-free wedding day that exceeds your expectations. Being able to create an event that is truly yours, and has all the elements you care about, is why I started doing what I do.

Kaity did a great job, especially considering all the uncertainty of bad weather (my ceremony was outdoors) we had to all deal with. She always had an upbeat and positive attitude the whole time, which I know can be very difficult to do around my family. She definitely would just roll with all the punches to keep us on track. I was anxious the entire day, but Kaity reassured me that she had everything under control and I knew I could trust her. She even went out of her way to get me and my husband little care packages on the day of, with inspiring notes. The only hiccups I actually noticed was with announcements and speeches, because the volume and echo was not great, so people didn't know when things were actually happening, so I wish we could've told the DJ sooner to fix the issue. We had also wanted to have our dinners boxed up, because my husband and I were both too anxious and excited to really eat, so our food ended up being thrown away, plus we didn't receive the top tier of our wedding cake to save for the tradition thing (but my guess is because they served it all to the guests). Unfortunately, at the end of the night, we were super rushed to get everything out of the building, because of the time and the pouring rain- I was running around barefoot in my dress while my husband was passed out in the car, and I was one of the few trying to get everything packed and cleaned up. However, Kaity and her husband really helped us out by collecting all the left items and holding onto them for us until the next day. She kept in contact, since at least a month beforehand, to make sure we had everything in order and sent her all the vendor contacts , so she could be included with all the day-of plans. She really did go above and beyond to make sure I had the best day possible, and I really appreciated that from her. I would definitely hire her again.

Our wedding photos by From GA with Love are absolutely breathtaking. We had our ceremony overlooking a serene Swan Lake at sunset, and the way they captured the luxury and tranquility of that moment still takes my breath away. The shot of us holding hands on the elegant wooden bridge, with the golden light reflecting off the water, looks like it’s straight out of a fairytale. They didn’t just capture the ‘big moments’—the quiet glances, the subtle laughter, and the peaceful calm of our surroundings were all preserved so perfectly. We couldn’t be happier with how every detail was immortalized with such artistry and care. If you want photos that tell the real story of your day—and make it look like pure luxury—look no further!

Hey there! I’m a wedding and lifestyle photographer serving the East Bay, San Francisco, Napa, Sonoma + Worldwide! I travel everywhere. I love capturing magical outdoor weddings—whether it’s a dreamy garden, a historic home, a charming winery, or a private estate hidden in the woods (I'm basically the Indiana Jones of weddings). My couples often say how comfortable I make them feel, how I capture the real moments without being intrusive, and how much fun they have during our shoots. I’m obsessed with the details and love when couples pour their hearts into making their wedding day unforgettable.

Vanessa photographed our outdoor wedding. Although lighting es a challenge, Vanessa's great eye made all of the pictures perfect. She was professional, nice and a good communicator.

Hey there! Katie here. I'm a scenic artist for theater by day and a videographer by night(s and weekends)! Keepsakes by Katie originally started as a nameless passion project to film a home-movie-style cross-country road trip with friends back in 2017. I found myself most interested in filming my friends as they were, and that's the same approach I've taken to my wedding films - candid storytelling, capturing real moments of your day in real time.

The moments of our wedding were captured so well by Katie. Her attention to the small details and the story telling through her videos allowed us to collect moments of our wedding that we as the bride and groom weren’t able to see or be apart of. We’re so thankful that we chose her to film our wedding and would recommend her talents to anyone!!

Now that’s out the way, I'm Jovan Kiah, specializing in wedding and portrait photography located somewhere in the cornfields of Indiana.

Jovan was absolutely amazing to work with. On our calls before the big day, she was always happy and excited and answered all of our questions and it gave us such a sense of ease. I never once had to worry and stress about photos. Day of the wedding, she completely killed it. She was still her happy self but was able to organize us and snap some amazing photos. She worked with me on some odd family and friend dynamics and eliminated any worries I had. She did a fantastic job of catching the perfect small moments, some of which I didn’t even know she was capturing. The photos are all so naturally beautiful and I can’t even begin to describe how much we love them. They are clean and bright and show us, our personalities, and our people perfectly. 100% the best decision we made.
