About Thara Photo
Thara Photo
Hi, I’m Tim! I photograph joyful, laid-back weddings without all the awkward posing. Whether you’re camera-shy or total naturals, I’ll make sure you feel comfortable, confident, and completely yourselves. Nothing artificial here. If you want a wedding day that feels fun and photos that feel the same — you’re in the right place.
When I began to capture important moments for couples, I realized that photography is more than just snapshots with fancy equipment—it's about creating a space where people can truly be themselves. I discovered that stunning images come naturally when there's a solid connection between us. Photography isn't just a profession for me; it's my passion. There's something profoundly rewarding about capturing raw emotions and genuine moments. No matter who you are, I want to ensure you not only look your best but also feel completely at ease in front of the lens. Because everyone deserves to feel like a superstar in their photos.

Captured all of our candid moments!!
Tim was the only photographer we even considered for our wedding. We loved the pictures he had taken of other events, and how well he captured the candid moments and little expressions that really made the people shine, and he truly delivered for our event! We couldn't be more pleased with how great the photos turned out, with Tim grabbing moments that we hadn't thought were special at the time but ended up being some of the highlights of the day. He was incredibly communicative and proactive, and always responsive and open to ideas we had. We're so thrilled, and will definitely be working with him again for any family photos we might need in the future!

Amazing Photographer
Tim is absolutely incredible. He is so easy to work with and such a great person to be around. His photos turn out incredible and really capture the emotions of the moment. He also was incredible with our 3 fur babies! Everything was more than we could've asked for and was a dream to work with-- literally had nothing to worry about leading up to the day and day of the wedding was seamless! All the candid photos were priceless! We couldn't recommend Tim more!

Tim was probably the best vendor decision we made for our wedding. Not only are his photos beautiful and well-edited, his whole vibe was perfect for our wedding, especially as we navigated weather challenges and other vendors falling behind the timeline. He remained calm and flexible, and efficiently moved through the pre-ceremony photos while we had a (mostly) dry window. His pricing was extremely reasonable for someone with his level of experience - hoping he has raised his prices since we booked a year ago!

Tim photographed our wedding and we couldn’t be happier! Tim’s easygoing personality brought a relieving sense of calm to the stressful nature of a wedding ceremony. We were extremely impressed by the quality of his work! He captured some really great shots at an affordable price. Highly recommend!

Tim is, without a doubt, the best photographer we've ever worked with. From start to finish, he made the entire experience enjoyable and effortless, and we're incredibly grateful for the beautiful memories he captured. One of the things that impressed us most was how personal every photo felt. Tim took the time to understand who we are as a couple, and it truly shows in the final images. Nothing felt staged or forced—each photo reflects our personalities and the genuine emotions of the day. My partner and I are usually uncomfortable in front of the camera, but Tim immediately put us at ease. His calm, friendly approach helped us relax, and he guided us naturally without making us feel self-conscious. As a result, every photo looks authentic and full of joy. His ability to work with natural light is exceptional, and he captured so many meaningful moments with beautiful composition and attention to detail. Looking through our gallery brought us right back to those moments, and we couldn't be happier with the results. We truly enjoyed working with Tim and wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for a talented, professional photographer who genuinely cares about capturing your story.
