"She captured us, just as we were. It was so intimate, and real. Not once did we feel like there was a "timeline" to follow."
You want to elope because your love story deserves a day that feels real—not rushed, not staged, not dictated by expectations. You crave connection over chaos, meaning over obligation, and a wedding day that reflects you, not a production for everyone else.

"Having Tinara as our photographer was like having a close friend by our side—someone we could trusted instantly and completely. She helped us with everything, from choosing the right ceremony time, making sure we actually had time to soak in the day. Not once did we feel like we had to rush anywhere. We were given just the right amount of guidance while letting us be in the moment. I almost forgot she was there a few times! The final images are beyond what we could have imagined—whimsical, emotional, and beautifully timeless. We are still staring at them in total awe! Best decision we made!"
We had a tremendously fun day in the Adirondacks with Tinara. It was really great to be able to have our pick of the location we wanted, we chose Coney Mtn for the 360º Views. She really blew us away with the natural prompting she gave us, we really took in each little moment! It was so relaxing to just take it all in. It really was like having your best friend tag along for the ride, and take gorgeous photos of us! The photos are unreal. Each one feels like it transports us back to our elopement. We were laughing non-stop the entire day, I'd do this over and over again!"
