Your Day. Your People. Your Story.

Coastal New England Wedding Photography Packages

Hi there 🤍

Congratulations — you're planning a coastal New England wedding, and I'm so glad you're here.

Let me guess: you want more than pretty pictures. You want to feel relaxed, not self-conscious. You want your camera-shy partner to actually enjoy it. You want your 95-year-old nana to feel just as celebrated as you do. And most importantly? You want images that don't just show what happened — but take you straight back to how it felt.

That's exactly what you'll get when we work together.

I'm Tarren — your photographer, your day-of bestie, your confident guide, and by the end of your celebration, family. I take only 10-12 weddings a year so I can show up with my whole heart for each couple.

If that sounds like your kind of photographer, keep reading. I think we might be a perfect fit 🤍

Why I Do This (And Why It Matters to You)

My dad recently passed away, but he left me with something powerful: the understanding that every family gathering is worth celebrating like it's the Super Bowl. He taught me that making people feel loved and included isn't just nice - it's essential.

That's why, after 12+ years photographing coastal New England weddings, I still get emotional at every ceremony. I'm not maintaining professional distance - I'm becoming emotionally invested in your day because that's how I honor the people I work with and how I carry forward what my dad taught me about celebration.

Here's my mission: To capture your celebration with my whole heart and expertise, creating images that feel like coming home to the warmth of how loved you were celebrated.

My Approach:

I bring BIG energy to every celebration because your day deserves someone who's all in. I'll probably cry during your vows (fair warning). I'll make sure your camera-shy mom is comfortable. I'll help get you to the church on time if you're running late (yes, I've done that). I'll ride in the limo if that's where the best moments are happening.

By the end of your wedding day, you won't feel like you hired a photographer. You'll feel like you gained family.

What Makes Me Different:

The Problem I Solve:

You need a photographer who makes you feel comfortable, celebrates everyone in your story, guides you confidently, and creates images that preserve how it felt - not just what happened.

You need someone who won't just show up and leave, but who becomes invested in your celebration and treats it like the important moment it is.

You need a photographer who feels like family.

That's exactly what I do 🤍

🤍 I become your wedding day bestie - From the moment I arrive, you'll feel like a friend showed up, not a vendor

🤍 Everyone feels they belong - I don't just focus on the couple; I make sure every person in your story feels celebrated and comfortable

🤍 Emotional investment, not just professionalism - I cry at your vows, celebrate your joy, and genuinely care about your story

🤍 Planning partner, not just day-of photographer - Unlimited consultations, timeline design, vendor recommendations, location scouting - I'm with you from booking to delivery

🤍 100+ five-star reviews across 12+ years - Consistent excellence that couples trust

🤍 Featured in Yankee Magazine and 10+ publications - Recognized quality and artistry

My Style:

I photograph coastal New England weddings with elevated, clean artistry that captures authentic emotion. I love moody New England skies as much as golden hour light. I document genuine tears, real laughter, and all the messy-beautiful moments that happen when you stop posing and start celebrating.

After living in New Hampshire for 10+ years and photographing throughout coastal New England for 12+ years, I know these venues, these locations, and this light intimately. From Maine to Connecticut, I understand how to work with coastal weather and capture the beauty of this region.

“Hiring Tarren as our photographer for our wedding was the best decision we made. When we first saw her work, we fell in love, but actually working with her was a dream come true. Not only was she a true professional and fantastic at her job, her warm and inviting personality made everyone feel comfortable. She had our backs throughout the whole wedding process and knew exactly what we needed. She went from being a photographer we hired to being our day of hype woman to becoming part of our family and a friend we can count on. Her pictures capture true emotion and highlight our favorite things about each other. Looking through her pictures brings us right back to everything we loved about our big day. Thank you Tarren for helping to make our day better than we dreamed of!” — Lauren R

“Tarren (and Angela) were amazing to work with! She was efficient in capturing all of my requested shots and blended in with our vibe of the day so easily. Our wedding party was so impressed with her ability to organize the large group quickly and keep the fun energy up! Not only was she so wonderful to spend the day with, but she got our preview photos back to us in less than 48 hours! She was thorough, fun, relaxed, and everything we could ask for in a wedding day photographer!”

FAQ


What's it like working with you on the wedding day?

Honestly? I become your wedding day bestie who also happens to have a camera. I'm the one ugly crying during your vows, cracking up at your toasts, and sweet-talking your camera-shy uncle into actually smiling. I've been doing this for 12+ years, so I know how to read a room, chase the perfect light, and gently wrangle your people without anyone feeling awkward or posed. I'll probably pet every dog at your wedding (sorry, can't help myself) and definitely sneak some of your mac and cheese if it's on the menu. By the end of the night, most couples tell me I feel like family - which is exactly what I'm going for.

Do you scout our venue beforehand?

For most weddings, I research your venue thoroughly and arrive early on your wedding day to scout the best locations for your specific light and timeline. If you're getting married somewhere I haven't shot before, or if you want extra peace of mind, we can absolutely arrange a venue visit beforehand. I've shot all over New England for over a decade, so chances are I might know it already!

How involved are you in the planning process?

I'm a resource whenever you need me. Some couples just want me to show up and do my thing, others text me vendor questions at 10pm. Both are totally fine. You'll get a comprehensive planning questionnaire about a month out, but between now and then, I'm here for timeline advice, vendor recommendations, or just to talk through ideas. Think of me as part of your team from the moment you book.

How do you handle family dynamics/difficult situations?

With grace, experience, and a whole lot of emotional intelligence. I've navigated everything from divorced parents who won't be in the same room to last-minute family drama to guests who are camera-shy. I take time to understand your specific family situation beforehand, and on the day, I'm diplomatic, kind, and focused on making everyone feel included and celebrated. My job is to make the photo process as stress-free as possible so you can actually enjoy your people.

Will you help us with our timeline?

Absolutely. I'll send you a detailed timeline template and we'll work through it together based on your specific day. I know what works (and what doesn't) when it comes to lighting, travel time between locations, and building in buffer for the unexpected. You'll get my honest input on realistic timing, and I'll help you create a flow that gives us beautiful images without feeling rushed.

What happens if you're sick or have an emergency?

I have a network of experienced photographers I trust who share my approach and quality standards. In the incredibly unlikely event I can't be there, you'd have someone of equal caliber who I'd personally brief on your day. In 12+ years, I've never missed a wedding, but I always have a backup plan because your peace of mind matters.
