my philosophy
there is magic in every moment
I don’t approach weddings with a formula. I’m not chasing trends or recreating someone else’s story. My work is about presence—about noticing, interpreting, and documenting your day with care.
I use 35mm film, Super 8, and digital to create images that hold weight and texture—photographs that feel like memory. Some moments are loud, some slip by without announcement. All of them matter.
You don’t have to worry about how it looks. You just have to live it. I’ll be there—so you don’t miss the parts that matter most.
The Process
My Approach
Thoughtful, Intentional Photography
I work with both digital and 35mm film to create images that feel timeless, tactile, and true. Every frame is composed with care—never rushed, never forced. For those drawn to nostalgia and movement, I also offer Super 8 films, shot on Kodak motion picture film and full of texture and soul.
A Documentarian’s Eye
What matters to you, matters to me. I focus on emotion, connection, and atmosphere—not just how things looked, but how they felt. My approach blends documentary honesty with an editorial eye, creating work that’s artful, expressive, and deeply personal.
Prepared, Present, and Fully Invested
My clients often say they’re surprised by how natural the whole process feels. Whether you’re nervous in front of the camera or worried about awkward posing, I’ll guide you with care and clarity. From our first message to the final gallery, I’m here to make this feel easy, thoughtful, and truly yours.
Meet your lead photographer
Hi, I’m Tasha.
I’m a photographer based in the Hudson Valley, working with digital, 35mm film, and Super 8 to create images that feel timeless, textured, and true.
With a background shaped by European culture and years of exploring the world through photography, I see things a little differently. My clients describe me as artistic, reliable, and a peaceful anchor on even the busiest days. I'm here to help you feel fully seen and at ease, so you can be present while I capture the emotion and beauty of your day.
I am drawn to weddings for their emotional depth, their unpredictability, and the intimacy of being invited into a moment that matters.
I photograph with sensitivity and intention—guiding when it’s helpful, but mostly observing with care. I’m inspired by atmosphere, connection, and all the subtle things that can’t be staged.
If my work resonates with you, I’d love to hear what you’re dreaming up.

"We had the absolute pleasure of working with Tasha as our wedding photographer, and we couldn’t be happier with the results! She has an incredible eye for capturing those candid, heartfelt moments that made our day feel so personal and genuine. Tasha was a calming presence throughout the entire process, blending in seamlessly while managing to get stunning shots without us even noticing she was there.
