Talula's Photography

Hi, I’m Tara—also known as Talula—and I’m a firm believer that photos are memories frozen in time. I’ve been capturing everything and everyone around me for as long as I can remember, starting with Polaroids and flip phones before upgrading to my first real camera at 19. I haven’t put it down since. I’m married to my best friend of 12+ years, and together we’re raising a beautiful little girl. When I’m not behind the camera or editing, I’m most likely crafting using my Cricut or spending quality time with the people/animals I love (like my dog Quinn).

Awarded Best of Zola
I couldn’t have picked a better photographer for my 10/02/2021 wedding! Tara made us feel so comfortable and relaxed throughout the entire night. Her style is amazing and we have such a wide variety of photos. She was great in positioning us and finding beautiful spots for the best pictures. Tara makes effort to get to know you before the day so you know all the details and she was wonderful at getting all the special photos I needed to have of certain family members and our guests! She was super affordable and I am obsessed with our photos on that I get to have forever!

Photography was introduced to me at a very early age. Growing up with a photography studio at my fingertips has afforded me an education you could not get through schooling. My dad opened his studio right out of high school and quickly became the areas premier studio. In 2007, I opened my own studio, Identity Studio and Design. This move helped me continue my own personal style of photography and unmatched customer service under my own brand. Over the past 25 years I have been fortunate to photograph well over 400 weddings, from New York all the way down the east coast and to Jamaica....all along keeping up with industry standards and trends.

Identity Studio and Design Cranberry were the perfect photographers for our wedding. From the very start, their communication was prompt, informative, and incredibly accommodating. Aaron, the lead photographer, was a joy to work with - he listened to our vision and made sure to capture all the photos we had pre-planned, while also suggesting creative and unique shots that we hadn't even considered. The quality of their work was exceptional, with a keen eye for detail and a truly artistic flair. And on top of that, their prices were more than reasonable for the level of service and stunning imagery they provided. Aaron's professionalism, from his dress to his manner, put us at ease throughout the day, and we were thrilled to see that he had captured all the special moments we wanted, as well as countless beautiful candid shots of our guests. We are over the moon with the final photos, and would recommend Identity Studio and Design Cranberry to any couple looking for an outstanding photographer for their wedding day.

"Capturing life's fleeting moments along side my lovely wife, one frame at a time. I started photography as a hobby a few years ago, and it's since become a true passion. I'm drawn to the way it lets me freeze time, tell stories, and preserve memories. Through my lens, I see the world in a new light, and I'm excited to share that vision with others."

Oliver did a fantastic job capturing my proposal. Not only did he capture the romance of the moment, but he went completely unnoticed during the big surprise! I'd like to note, I'm kind of an awkward guy when it comes to pictures but Oliver is great to work with and gave great advice to me. The photos turned out beautiful and we were able to look at them in short order. Thank you Oliver.

Once Like a Spark Wedding Co. was a fantastic choice for our wedding photography and DJ. I had first reached out to Darcy before I had even booked a venue - I just loved the editing style of the photos. Our lead Denida and and second shooter Will were friendly, communicative, and incredibly helpful throughout the entire wedding day. They kept us on schedule, if not ahead of it, and Denida even showed us some incredible photos as she was taking them. Will captured great shots of the groom and groomsmen, and also provided excellent second angles. I am so thankful we got to work with them. We also bundled our photography with the DJ, who was also wonderful - DJ Floyd kept the energy up all night, mixed the music perfectly, and checked in to make sure everything was going well. With OLAS, we were able to capture so many great memories and beautiful photos that we'll cherish forever.

We had our wedding in California and Edgar flew out and helped make our day so memorable! We didn't know him before and didn't end up doing an engagement shoot (so I was a little nervous) but he absolutely nailed it. His photos are stunning (I've gotten a TON of compliments on them), he is extremely communicative, and he had a bunch of photos ready to go by the end of the wedding. Both me and my husband aren't great at posing for photos and he knew exactly how to place us without it feeling faked. Super easy to work with and just a really nice guy. I'd highly recommend him to anyone!

I’m Madalina, a wedding photographer based in Miami and the Jersey Shore, but I’ll happily follow love wherever it takes me. I’ve always been drawn to the quiet, meaningful moments: the way your partner looks at you when you’re not looking, the hug from your mom that lasts a little longer, the feeling of joy that hangs in the air. My approach is calm, intentional, and heartfelt. I want your photos to feel like you: beautiful, honest, and full of soul.

We cannot recommend Madalina enough! She photographed both our engagement session and our wedding, so by the time our big day came, she already felt like family. She has such a calming and fun personality that made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera, and that made all the difference. On our wedding day, she arrived right on time and got straight to work. She was organized, professional, and captured every special moment so effortlessly. She made taking photos feel natural instead of stressful, and we never had to worry because we knew we were in great hands. Not only is she incredibly talented, but she genuinely cares about her couples and it shows in everything she does. We are so grateful we chose her to capture one of the most important days of our lives, and we'll treasure these memories forever. If you're looking for someone who is talented, reliable, and feels more like a friend than just your photographer, she's the one!

Joe and Ashley are the best photography team out there!!! We chose them as our wedding photographers, and it was the best decision I've ever made. From start to finish, they made the process so easy - with phone calls to discuss details and answer ALL of my questions, super fast responses over email, and then seamless photo-taking on the day of! They were so fun to be around too, and made everyone feel at ease - even my now-husband, who doesn't love getting his picture taken. The photos themselves are to DIE for - we received the sneak peek on Thursday (our wedding was Sunday 5/24), and I was FLOORED. They turned out even better than I imagined, and all of our family and friends have been raving about them. We're so excited for the full gallery, which I know will be just as amazing as the preview!

I highly recommend Cibella Studios for all your photo and video needs - you will not be disappointed!

My name is Maya (they/them), and I'm a queer, love-obsessed photographer operating out of Pennsylvania and traveling all over. I specialize in weddings and elopements, especially non-traditional, LGBTQ+, and multicultural celebrations. I am the 'picnic elopement in the woods' or 'weekend campsite celebration' or 'screw it, let's get married at a Waffle House' photographer.

Maya is one of the most wonderful, genuine, and detailed photographers I've ever met, and I've worked with a lot of photographers in my line of work! My partner and I chose Maya first for our engagement photos because of their dynamic, warm style, and ended up enjoying working with them so much that we decided to book them for our wedding! My partner is quite shy and doesn't enjoy his photo being taken, but Maya made him feel so comfortable and confident. We are an LGBTQ couple, and Maya made us feel so valid and loved expressing who we are. Maya was so communicative throughout the whole wedding planning process, and constantly provided us with resources to help us with our general planning. Maya and their co-photographer took so much care and detail on the day of the wedding to get every small detail to every huge moment. Everything worked like literal clockwork, everything felt super chill and fun, and even shooting large family photos (with way too many cousins) ended up being a breeze! Maya truly cares about their work, especially their clients. We could not recommend Maya enough!!!

Hey there, I’m Holly! I’m a wedding and engagement photographer based in Roanoke, VA, and I’m all about capturing love stories in the most authentic and heartfelt way possible. My photography style is raw, emotional, timeless, and fun. Whether I’m photographing a tender moment between a couple or the spontaneous laughter during a celebration, I strive to capture the genuine connection and joy shared on your big day. There’s nothing more rewarding for me than freezing those fleeting moments so you can relive them for years to come. If you’re looking for a documentary photographer who can capture your day as it unfolds, I’d love to chat!!

Holly was immediately responsive & answered all our questions in detail. She was incredible at our engagement shoot & had even looked up several nearby parks to choose from, & looked at great locations within the 1 we chose to shoot our engagement photos. I was able to change outfits & my fiance/now husband & I felt totally comfortable despite it being our 1st time having professional photography focused on us with her down to earth & direct communication style. Our photos turned out gorgeous & classic. On our wedding day, we had a lot of unexpected things happen like wind & rain at our outdoor ceremony & photography session, but she handled it all with grace & got our photos done beautifully & timely with our wedding party & immediate family as we wanted. We did some outdoor portrait photos & got some adorable ones inside our bridal suite. It was relieving to see her there every step of our 8 hours we hired her for, including our pivotal dances, cake cutting, dancing, etc. She even went above & beyond her job by stepping in several times in several ways when our coordinator was completely forgetful & careless. She communicated with my Mom who was very high strung & quick tempered beautifully. My husband & I literally cannot thank her enough for how beautifully & peacefully she took care of our photos & us on our our wedding. Would recommend her 10x over.
