Tara Bennett Photography

It's hard to say what I loved most about working with Tara - obviously her talent is unmatched, but I think it's her passion for photography that really sets her apart. She truly LOVES what she does, and goes above and beyond for her clients. When shooting with her, she is always ready to capture a special moment. As a bride, I was confident that she would not only provide beautiful formal photos on my wedding day, but also the fleeting candid moments that only a true photographer can capture. She is the perfect balance of fun, outgoing, and incredibly professional. I recommend her at the highest level!

Tara is an amazing photographer and an even more amazing person! Her ability to make us feel comfortable was a core reason why our engagement and wedding pictures turned out so well. Combining that with her talent behind the lens and in editing makes her the best! We had rain on and off all day on our wedding day, and I was hesitant to take pictures outside. Tara encouraged us to take quite a few photos outside; and I am so glad she did because they are some of our favorites. We had our wedding at the Priory, which has a beautiful organ as a backdrop; she captured the perfect shot of our first dance with that background despite the low lighting. Tara really cares about her clients and wants everyone to have amazing pictures. Hire her and trust her judgement; you won't be disappointed!

Tara did our engagement and wedding photos (Sept 20, 2014 and June 13, 2015). When Tara gave us our photos, it was impossible to pick a favorite! They were amazing. Not only does she capture creative and natural photos, but she is so personable, patient, and has a lot of ideas to get the perfect shot. She has a natural ability to make you feel comfortable in front of the camera! We would absolutley recommend her to anyone!

Tara added such a positive energy to our wedding day! I felt comfortable during the picture process! She came in while I was getting ready and got right to work - she did more than just take pictures! She helped with my shoes, jewelry and anything else I asked of her! Tara is professional yet fun, and above all else, crazy talented! I live hours from her and have already told my husband that she will be taking pictures of our children when that day comes! I would recommend her a million times over and if I had to do it again, she would be there!

We absolutely adore Tara!! 🙂 My husband and I worked with her for both our engagement photos and our wedding photos and I can't imagine having a better experience with anyone else. She captured our day perfectly in every way. She made us feel super comfortable and confident, with every shot looking natural and not staged. Tara is passionate, friendly and has a fantastic eye for capturing the beauty and sparks between two people 🙂 She truly is a gem and I would highly recommend her to anyone! We plan to use Tara exclusively for all future photo shoots in our growing family!

 

Tara was recommended to us by mutual friends and we are so lucky she traveled to our MD wedding from PA! After researching many photographers we found Tara's rates to be very competitive and really appreciated the thoughtful wedding package she put together for us. After an engagement shoot with Tara the wedding was a breeze- she really made us feel comfortable and it showed in the pictures! At the wedding Tara felt more like an old friend than a "vendor" and our family and friends all remarked how relaxed and calm she was. Tara was very responsive during all of the planning, but she surpassed our expectations by having our pictures ready before our honeymoon was even over! Tara's pictures of our Great Gatsby Themed wedding turned out beautifully! Without ever seeing the Ceresville Mansion where we got married she had an eye for the property and captured amazing pictures that made the mansion a beautiful complement to our wedding. We recommend Tara for your wedding, engagement, family, or personal photography needs!

We had such a wonderful experience with Tara for our May 2016 wedding. She was professional, friendly, and fun to work with. We had a pretty rainy day and she worked really hard to make sure we got the pictures we wanted. She was actively taking pictures all day, and blended seamlessly. Also, my 3 and 4 year old nephews LOVED her!

Tara did an amazing job on both our engagement and wedding photos. She is very talented, and we would highly recommend her to anyone seeking an exceptional photographer! We hope to continue to have her take photos for us in the future as well!

 

I absolutely loved having Tara as my photographer. We had her do our engagement photos in June 2013. I saw the look I wanted on her website so we traveled 2.5 hours just for her to be our photographer. You can really tell this is Tara's passion. Her excitement after she captures a moment is priceless. So of course we had to use her for our wedding on November 23, 2013. Again, she did a great job! We recommend Tara to everyone we know who is looking for a photographer. I am looking forward to working with her again.

My husband and I absolutely adore Tara. We fell in love with her photos through a mutual friend, so we hired her to do our engagement session. We knew immediately we needed her for our wedding. We are both uncomfortable in front of the camera and being the center of attention, but Tara made us so comfortable and we had a great time. You can see the genuine laughter in our pictures. She has such a creative eye on top of being a bubbly and fun person. We enjoyed filling our home with these beautiful photos we will have for a lifetime. We can't wait to book her for our maternity pictures early next year. I would recommend her to anyone looking for beautiful pictures and a sweet person to take them.

Tara is the best! She makes you feel so comfortable and does such a good job at capturing moments for what they really are. The pictures that she takes allows you to relive your wedding day over and over again. Her up beat easygoing personality allows you to be yourself. We now use Tara for all of our picture needs and she never disappoints!

Tara Bennett Photography was the best investment for both our engagement and wedding photos, August 2012. Not only did she provide images that exceeded our expectations, but she so willingly agreed to travel to West Virginia for both! She was flexible, professional, and very accommodating to our needs/wants on both occasions. Together with her contagious personality and uniqueness behind the camera she was able to capture natural and breath taking photos we will cherish for years to come.  

Tara was amazing to work with and completely professional. Our wedding was July 5, 2013. She had come to our home to do our engagement pictures, which really helped my husband and I feel much more comfortable with getting our picture taken. Tara was able to get some amazing shots that I would have never thought possible. Her pictures have a quality to them that I rarely see from other photographers. I would highly recommend her to any bride to be.

We owe a huge thank you to Tara & Stacy from Tara Bennett Photography for helping make our wedding so perfect! Tara and Stacy are professional, helpful, and friendly and have a creative style in shooting photographs! I had a detailed list of moments/images that I wanted captured on our wedding day and they made sure to capture every moment plus more. Tara was very prompt at responding to emails – day and night. She had great feedback as far as helping us plan the timeline of our wedding day to ensure that we could capture all of the moments that we wanted covered in various locations. The timing was perfect, with a few minutes to spare before the ceremony. Tara was cogitative in using natural sunlight appropriately for our wedding pictures so that pictures came out clear and sharp. Tara also took into account the timing of the sunset and took us outside to capture some beautiful pictures! Tara and Stacy are passionate about capturing every special moment as it happens from various angles. I love looking at our wedding pictures and how STUNNING each and every image is! They made the day more enjoyable by knowing that they were capturing all the pictures that we wanted to one day look back on. I myself love to take lots of pictures and to make sure that everything is captured, so they really eased my fears of missing something by being present for the whole day! We highly recommend Tara Bennett Photography to anyone who is looking for BEAUTIFUL AND STUNNING pictures! Tara Bennett Photography will remain our top recommendation when talking with family, friends, and really anyone who is looking for a photographer in Western Pennsylvania. THANK YOU TARA & STACY! You really helped to make our wedding day so perfect and special for Taylor and I!

Tara was incredible to work with. Incredibly flexible and professional! She did our summer of 2012 engagement shots and then our June 2013 wedding! I didn't know it was possible, but she just made our day easier. She knew what we wanted and just went for it! I wasn't stressed to get the photos back because I knew she got the shots that I wanted plus the shots I didn't know I would want! They were more perfect than we could have imagined. I can't wait to show my children one day, the work that Tara did for us!

We were thrilled with the services provided by Tara Bennett Photography for our wedding on June 14, 2014 at the Children's Museum of Pittsburgh. Tara was quick to respond to any questions we had prior to our wedding. She was professional, easy going, and just went with the flow. We loved both the traditional photos and the candid photos that Tara managed to capture both of the bridal party and our guests. She was quick to provide us with a few teaser photos the week after our wedding, and maintained communication with updates of the progress of our photos while she was editing them. I would highly recommend. Tara Bennett Photography for a wedding or any other event!

We used Tara for our engagement and wedding pictures and couldn't be happier with how they turned out. She captures the true emotion of a moment. Her photo journalistic approach gave us so many different photos to remember our day by. From the little details to family portraits and candids. Tara is professional and makes you feel completely at ease so that your pictures look amazing and natural.

If it allowed me, I would give Tara 20 stars! She has such a unique talent and a personality to match. Our wedding photos turned out so beautifully and the video is something I will cherish forever. I highly recommend Tara for your wedding, engagement or personal photography needs!
