My philosophy

Lasting memories through breathtaking, soulful imagery

Wedding party poses playfully on a city street wearing formal attire.
Celebratory moment with confetti falling outside a grand building entrance.

My goal is to capture your wedding day the way it feels in your mind. I'm talking about the stolen glances, the happy-nervous excitement, the rush of love for your new spouse. I also want to keep your memories crisp: I want every detail, every guest, every event of the day on (digital) film.

I’m TASHA,

 

Former bride, picky editor, and all-around girl's girl. The first time a friend asked me to photograph her wedding I said, me?! Why?! and she said she would never ask anybody else. So, here I am, taking responsibility for your whirlwind memories with as much care as I do for my best friends.

"Tasha was an absolute dream to work with from start to finish. She understood perfectly what I wanted her to capture during our wedding - predominantly unposed joyful moments.


Tasha organised an engagement shoot as a precursor to the wedding photography and it was invaluable. Neither my partner nor I are that comfortable in front of the camera, but this got us relaxed as a couple, gave us a flavour of her style and what we could expect from the wedding photos she would take.


On the day, Tasha was the perfect combination of melting into the background to capture candid moments, and stepping in to give some helpful direction for the few posed photos we had taken. She also remembered all the important family pictures we wanted and made sure we got them on the day.


Tasha captured the essence of us as a family and our wedding, where we look great and our happiness is palpable.

"Tasha was absolutely brilliant with us!


We were a little nervous at first and she completely put us at ease, we ended up having such a laugh and found it quite romantic as well!


Tasha really made us feel comfortable and was great at directing while still making it organic.


We've been blown away by the quality of the photos as well! We can't wait for another excuse to do more photos with her!"
