“ My husband and I truly could not recommend anyone else besides Tara for wedding photography!! She was so great to work with, and that’s not even touching on the INCREDIBLE photos she took! She completely captured us as a couple and her style of photography was exactly what we were looking for! Dreamy, film-like, candid, and timeless! I have had so many people ask us who our photographer was; wish we could give her 10 stars! She is truly so good at what she does; her talent is a rare find!”

-Emery Martin
"Tara was the best decision that we made for our wedding day! I was originally drawn to her dreamy / fairytale like editing style and the fact that she really seemed to be capturing moments, not just photos. She was so communicative throughout the entire process, and is just such a genuine, sweet person. She made the day feel much less stressful and was able to capture all of the important moments I wanted in a way that felt so natural. I have never felt more beautiful than I do in my wedding photos! She also was able to capture posed family photos which were important to my husband and his family, and those are beautiful as well! I would 100% recommend Tara for any event and I hope to get to work with her again in the future!"

"Tara’s photography has an artistic and romantic quality that makes you fall in love with the shot. She is especially talented at capturing the little sincere moments and the heart behind them. Tara is also a kind and welcoming person. She does a good job of giving you ideas/ prompts to make you feel comfortable and let you know what is looking good. Highly recommend!"

—Julia Faunce
"Absolutely phenomenal. Tara is not only so kind, but a true artist. She brought my dreams to life in our wedding photos. I tend to feel awkward in front of a camera, but Tara made me feel like we’ve been friends for years. She brought so much joy to an experience I was nervous for! She documented my day so perfectly that I cried when I saw how the photos turned out. I literally cannot say enough good things about the entire experience."

ABOUT

Tara Snyder Black and White Film Portrait in Northern Michigan

With over a decade of professional experience, I bring a thoughtful, artful eye and an intuitive documentary approach to the weddings I photograph. Based in Northern Michigan, my work is shaped by natural light, the quiet beauty of the Midwest, and the meaningful details that often unfold gently throughout the day.

Rooted in honesty and presence, my approach blends documentary storytelling with an editorial sensibility — creating imagery that feels effortless, atmospheric, and deeply personal. I’m drawn to the in-between moments, the subtle gestures, and the environment that surrounds them, documenting your wedding with intention while preserving not just how the day looked, but how it felt.

Let’s create something meaningful together.
