You deserve REAL MOMENTS. Your day is meant to be intimate, emotional, and memorable. You should experience all of that without feeling like you've been told to go "stage right".

what Desiree & Allen are saying...
" Tinara made us feel so relaxed when working with her! We felt as if she was part of the atmosphere. Our wedding day was absolutely perfect and she captured it all with ease and flow to how the day was planned out. The nostalgic, documentary freestyle is our vibe!"
what Johnny & Alysa are saying...
"We had a tremendously fun day in the 'dacks 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 really was like having your best friend tag along for the ride, and take gorgeous photos of us! We were laughing non-stop the entire day, I'd do this over and over again!"
When you elope, you are choosing to:
Create a Wedding day that speaks to who you both really are.
Throw away tradition, stress, and pressure of a "big" production or performance.
Really take in the precious moments that focus on you, together, getting married.
