THE PHILOSOPHY —
For the past six years, I’ve had the honor of witnessing love in its most meaningful places—on mountaintops, in quiet chapels, tucked between families, and held gently in the hands of couples who trust me with their stories. With over a hundred weddings behind me, I’m stepping into a deeper, more intentional chapter of my craft—one centered on connection, creativity, and the warm, timeless feel of a love lived fully.
I don’t see myself as “just” your photographer. I’m your creative partner, your gentle guide, your steady presence in the beautiful whirlwind of your wedding day. I take time to truly know you—your personalities, your hopes, the way your story moves—so we can shape an experience that feels natural, comfortable, and deeply you.
Together, we choose locations with heart, styling that feels authentic, and moments that invite you to relax into one another. My approach blends direction with freedom, allowing space for both quiet tenderness and unfiltered joy. The result? A gallery that feels like walking through your own curated art exhibition—honest, nostalgic, and brimming with life.
Truthful. Beautiful. Raw. A reflection of your love, just as it is.
MY STYLE —
From a technical standpoint, my work blends photojournalism with an editorial edge. It’s a balance of honest storytelling and intentional artistry—capturing your day exactly as it unfolds, while framing each moment with a thoughtful, creative eye. Your final gallery will hold everything from the big, breath-stealing milestones to the quiet treasures: your first look, your dad losing himself on the dance floor, the florals you dreamed about, the heirloom ring worn by generations before you.
When I arrive on your wedding day, I’m already searching for the personal touches—the soft gestures, the unspoken emotions, the fleeting moments that deserve to be remembered. Those are the heartbeat of your story.
Visually, my work leans into a warm, nostalgic glow—the kind of tone that feels like flipping through an old 90s family album. I’m drawn to imagery that feels lush and dimensional, shaped through intentional cropping, movement, light, and composition. Every frame is crafted to feel alive.
My aim is simple: to document and edit in a way that preserves the emotion of the moment itself. So years from now, when you open your gallery again, you don’t just see the day—you feel it in your chest.
THE EXPERIENCE —
Artistically, everything begins with vision casting—a soft, intentional unfolding of what makes your story yours. Before the wedding ever arrives, we create moodboards, talk through the moments and people who matter most, and map out the emotional heartbeat of your day. This process helps us build a shared language, a shared dream, something that feels uniquely tailored to you.
I’m not just a photographer. I’m a storyteller, a dreamer, and someone who genuinely treasures the privilege of stepping into your life for a little while. On your wedding day, you can expect gentle, hands-on direction during portraits, paired with a quiet, documentary approach for the rest of the day. I want you fully present—with your partner, with your people—not worrying about where to stand or what to do with your hands.
I arrive with a calm, steady presence—one that helps you breathe deeply, settle in, and feel supported from start to finish. As one of your key vendors, I take my role seriously. You can expect professionalism, thoughtful communication, and an experience crafted with both expertise and heart.
When I shoot, I’m not checking off a list or recreating the same poses for every couple. I’m creating images with soul—iconic frames that feel warm, nostalgic, and alive. I’m drawn to rich tones, effortless compositions, and the kind of intimacy that moves quietly but deeply. Your wedding is, to me, a work of art—something worthy of being cherished, framed, and passed down through generations.
When you look back at your gallery, my hope is that you feel the day breathe again: the laughter, the warmth, the lightness in your chest, the way you held each other. I care—deeply—about honoring your love, your vision, and the story you’re building together.
Whether your celebration is grand and full of movement or small and wrapped in intimacy, I’m here to document it with intention and tenderness. If you’re looking for someone who won’t just take photos but will create art that feels like your romance—warm, honest, unforgettable—I’d be honored to be your storyteller.
THE PROCESS
-
The heart of the Love, Tanner process begins long before the wedding day—right in our very first conversation. During our discovery call, we slow down together and talk through your vision, your personalities, the story you’re telling, and what matters most to you both.
It’s more than logistics; it’s connection.
It’s where I learn how to truly serve you—how to anticipate your needs, honor your dreams, and create an experience that feels comfortable, thoughtful, and deeply personal from the very beginning. -
One of the sweetest parts of the Love, Tanner process is the way I begin learning your story long before I ever lift my camera. From the moment you officially join the family, I start paying attention—softly, intentionally, with a heart tuned toward who you are and how you love.
Your onboarding pieces help guide that process: a curated Spotify playlist, a personalized mood board, and a questionnaire that lets me understand the rhythm of your relationship or your family dynamic. These aren’t just forms—they’re the first brushstrokes of your story.
Through these details, I begin vision casting…
discovering what moves you, what matters to you, and how your connection feels from the inside. This foundation allows me to honor you fully—shaping an approach that is true to who you are as people, not just who you are in front of a lens. -
Once your onboarding pieces are complete, we begin shaping the heart of your story together. We’ll schedule planning meetings for each chapter of your journey—engagements, bridals, rehearsal, and the wedding day itself. These moments of preparation help me step into your world fully, so that when your big day arrives, nothing feels rushed or unexpected.
These conversations aren’t just logistics.
They’re creative collaboration—where we dream together, explore aesthetics, and sculpt the look and feel of the images you’ll treasure for decades. It’s where your vision and my artistry meet, blending your personal style with the nostalgic, emotional storytelling that defines Love, Tanner.Through this process, I’m able to walk into your wedding day already attuned to what matters most, ready to honor every detail with intention. This is how your vision comes to life—thoughtfully, beautifully, and with a whole lot of heart.
-
Because the Love, Tanner process is built on connection, careful observation, and intentional vision casting, I’m able to show up on your day fully present—calm, prepared, and completely attuned to you. By the time I lift my camera, I already understand the heartbeat of your story and the atmosphere you want to create.
From there, the experience becomes a kind of quiet dance—your vision guiding the rhythm, my creativity shaping the flow. Nothing forced, nothing hurried. Just a natural, seamless blending of trust, artistry, and the tender moments unfolding around us.
The result is an experience—and a gallery—crafted with intention and care.
Not perfection in a rigid sense, but a deeply true execution… one that honors who you are, what you love, and the beauty of your day in its most authentic form.
FAQ’S
-
The short answer is no, my friend.
One of the most meaningful parts of the Love, Tanner experience happens long after the shutter clicks—during post-production, where your images are shaped with warmth, depth, and the nostalgic tones that make your gallery feel like home. This is where the emotion settles in… where the story becomes art.
RAW files aren’t a true reflection of your love or of my creative process. They’re unfinished—missing the glow, the texture, the color, and the heart that I pour into every final image.
I promise: you won’t want them once you see your gallery fully come to life.
-
I believe in letting you relive the magic while it’s still fresh. Every wedding and session receives a sneak peek gallery within 48 hours—just enough time for you to catch your breath and soak in the moment before seeing it through my lens.
Final Gallery Delivery:
• Sessions: 2–3 weeks
• Weddings: 4–6 weeks, 12 weeks during busy season months.Your images are tended to with intention and care, edited thoughtfully so they carry the warmth, emotion, and nostalgic glow your story deserves.
-
Yes, absolutely—I always recommend printing directly from your gallery. This ensures your images are printed with the highest quality, true-to-tone colors, and the same warmth and richness you see on your screen. Third-party sites can sometimes distort color or compromise the final product, and your memories deserve better than that.
Printing through your gallery keeps everything seamless, beautiful, and exactly as it was meant to be.

-
Yes, always—and with so much joy. Traveling to new places to tell your story is one of my favorite parts of what I do. There’s something magical about photographing love against landscapes that mean something to you.
During our consultation call, we’ll talk through your location, travel needs, and what that looks like cost-wise. Everything will be included clearly in your customized proposal, so there are never any surprises or hidden fees—just clarity, excitement, and a sense of ease as we plan your day together.
