    AWESOME Engagement Shoot

    We absolutely LOVED having our engagement pictures taken by Tara! It was a SUPER easy experience, from the coordinating, meeting, & receiving photos. We are SO happy to have such AMAZING photos from our time in Maui. You won't regret going with Tara Lee Photography! :)

    I love our wedding pictures!

    We are so happy to have choosen Tara Lee as our wedding photographer!
    Last year we have decided to get married on Hawaii. We have found a german speaking wedding organiser - we are from Germany, so it kind of made sense to have someone who knows about the paper work here in Germany -, but since we didnt really like the style of the photos that was included in the package, we started to look for a wedding photographer. That is how we found Tara Lee. Her style is exactly what we were looking for: pictures with emotions. We had our first call with her a couple of months before the wedding and she was sweet and funny and we just instantly trusted her I guess. We had some mail correspondance, but only met in person on the day of the wedding. We have booked a relativly small package and only spent like two hours together, yet had so many wonderful pictures in the end. The pictures were delivered online just last week (6 weeks after the wedding) and I have to say they have turned out amazing. Thanks Tara Lee for capturing our special day so beautifully.

    Our wedding experience with Tara

    We had a great experience with Tara as photographer at our wedding ceremony on Po'olenalena beach on a beautiful tuesday morning in may. We came together there with our family and the lovely people who made our celebration possible as early as 7:30 in the morning. This was also due to Tara who suggested to do it this early because we were going to have the best light conditions then and an empty beach for some privacy. We are very grateful for her advice, her flexibility and her professional photography services which resulted in a large number of beautiful photos to help us memorate the fantastic time we had. A perfect work on a perfect day!

    Great photographer!

    Got married in May of 2024 and Tara and her team were amazing. She touched bases with me the day before the wedding to go over all the details and was very knowledgeable and attentive to all of our wedding and family details. Fast forward to the wedding day and they were amazing in getting all of the photos we wanted and making sure everyone was where they needed to be. We just received our photos last week and they are absolutely beautiful. She got us the best sunset photos, even better than we could have asked for during our overcast wedding day. We are so glad we went with Tara Lee photography and would highly recommend her!

    Good experience!

    I don’t really like taking pictures but I agreed to take honeymoon pictures for my wife and actually enjoyed our time! My wife also really likes several of our pictures and I’m pleased. For a 30 minute session, this is impressive! Very professional and made me feel comfortable.

    The best decision we could have made!

    We are so happy and THANKFUL that we came across Tara. From the second we inquired into her service, she was extremely responsive, and when we jumped on a call, she was so personable and made us feel comfortable and at ease immediately - knowing in the back of our minds, how important our wedding photos would be to us, as a lifelong memory. You can tell that Tara has done this countless times before, because the way she guided us through the entire process, which included must have photos/nice to have photos, juggling a somewhat tighter timeline as well as helping us make any decision, was amazing. Tara was fantastic on the day of the wedding, and even sent us some "sneak peek" images within a short timeframe after the wedding. When we saw those, we COULD NOT WAIT to see the full roll of images! We opened up a bottle of wine and played the images on our TV, once we received them, and Tara, you captured the day in ways we could have only dreamt of! You did such a wonderful job and we will cherish these beautiful images for a lifetime. We can't thank you enough!! Mahalo for everything.

    Wonderful Wedding Photographer in Hawaii, Maui!

    Tara Lee is a WONDERFUL wedding photographer. You will NOT regret choosing her and her team if you are on the fence about which photographer to select. She was professional yet so easy to talk to from the very beginning. You can tell she has been doing this for a while because she was so organized prior to, and on the day of our wedding.

    We filled out a survey beforehand and had a meeting with her to discuss what shots we really wanted, the feel of the photos, and which groups, moments, details to focus on.

    On the day of the wedding, Tara and her team were prompt and efficient in getting the photos needed prior to ceremony. During the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception, the team blended into the crowd which enabled them to capture truly candid and BEAUTIFUL MOMENTS. We are thrilled with how our photos came out and couldn't have selected a better photographer!

    HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Thank you Tara Lee!

She was flexible with location and time (to work with weather) and gave good, natural prompts for us to get wonderful honeymoon photos!! She also gave us helpful recommendations for our trip!! WOULD HIRE AGAIN!!!

    Amazing experience with Tara Lee :)

    Tara and her team were absolutely incredible! They were professional, prompt, communicated well, and created stunning work. Her style was perfect for us as a couple. We wanted to focus on being present with our guests with minimal time spent posing for photos, etc. She did a fantastic job getting information ahead of time/arranging group photos efficiently/allowing us to live in the moment of the day. I would 1000% use her again, if anything I would've booked more time!

    Purely amazing!

    10/10 would recommend using Tara Lee Photography! Our wedding day was documented from start to finish in the most PERFECT way. From capturing all the small details to capturing all the moments she executed it all so seamlessly. I told Tara on our phone call that I wanted everything documented, and she got ALL THE THINGS!! We had a mishap and my husband hurt his knee... about 30 minutes before the wedding ended we had to leave for the ER. Tara was respectful and compassionate, she asked if she was okay to document the family and friends surrounding him in a room. Tara lets us have fun, be goofy and just go along with all our shenanigans... I love that she just laughed with us and snapped away at the moments.

    We received our photos within FOUR WEEKS, our contract stated it would be 6-8 weeks... so I was beyond over the moon to get them early. Major brownie points!! My husband and I sat and looked through all the photos on our TV together for the first time...it felt like if a stranger were to look through all the photos they could tell you the story of our night. It was just what I wanted from our photographer... to look back in 15/20/40 years and relive the amazing moments. We plan to have a coffee table book made, along with prints to hang in our home. BIG MAHALO to Tara!!

    Wedding Photographer

    My husband and I got married at the Pineapple Chapel on Maui and Tara took THE BEST photos. She was so sweet and took the time to make our wedding timeline and several calls over the phone months before our wedding. I would HIGHLY recommend her! She’s so sweet and made our day perfect!

    BEYOND talented wedding photographer!

    Tara is the BEST of the best! I am so glad my husband and I chose her to photograph our wedding elopement on Maui. She took two socially awkward people, and made us feel SUPER comfortable and relaxed while photographing our special day. She has so much knowledge and experience with photography, and was able to adapt every photo taken minute by minute to the ever changing scenery. From the way the waves were crashing in, how the sun was illuminating our surroundings at sunset, or the little details of the background, she knew just what to do to get the best shot. She is a true artist! I am forever grateful for Tara's sweet spirit, patience, and TALENT! Don't hesitate to choose Tara for any of your photo needs.

    Best Photographer and Elopment Planner EVER!

    We are so happy that we worked with Tara as our photographer and elopement planner. My now wife and I eloped in Maui in September 2023, and from the very early planning stages Tara was a pleasure to work with. She made the entire process and experience stress free and took so much off our plate. She helped us pick a location and plan the specifics of the day, she connected us with other vendors, outlined the day, and she clearly communicated everything with us and our other vendors throughout. On top of that, she had numerous recommendations for things to do on Maui that contributed to the wonderful trip that we had. She was always available for questions or check-in calls, and her attention to detail gave us confidence at every turn. Keep in mind that the timing of our elopement was only about 6 weeks after the devastating and tragic fires in Maui, so having Tara guide us and give us advice was crucial for us.

    We recently got our photos back and to say we’re happy with them would be a major understatement. Our pictures are amazing and instantly transported us back to Maui. Tara is seriously the best and I highly recommend that you work with her. Her photography is top notch, and she is very well organized when it comes to the elopement planning piece of things. I can’t recommend her enough, and I am so, so grateful that we had her to help plan and be our photographer!

    Amazing Experience!

    My fiancé and I had the pleasure to work with Tara when we celebrated our intimate "Last Anniversary Engaged" at the Haiku Mill before the big "I Dos" with all of our loved ones.

    Tara is very sweet and fun! She'll also work with your ideas and also help with capturing all the genuine moments. She's great too at getting back to you quickly and will work with you on prints and albums. Thanks again Tara for everything!

    Top Quality Photographer with a Personal Touch

    Tara Lee shot our wedding at Olowalu and she did an exceptional job. As a guy who doesn't always love taking pictures, she made the experience very seamless and the shots came out great. She also took the time to get to know us - which made it easier to direct the photos that we wanted to get and one's that we wanted to skip over. Highly recommend Tara and her team!

    Great wedding/elopement photographer

    We eloped in Maui, and hired Tara as our photographer. Tara was very easy to work with and the photographs she took were absolutely beautiful. Growing up on Maui, Tara really knows the local area. She was able to suggest a stunning second location that was nearby. She also made the planning process from New Jersey much smoother for us with a great list of vendor recommendations for hair/makeup and flowers. Sneak peeks were turned around quickly, and our full collection delivered ahead of schedule. 100% would recommend.

    Tara was such an amazing photographer! She was always so inspired throughout our wedding and making sure our photos came out perfect.

Highly, highly recommend!!!!! Also our pictures came back so fast, very professional! The whole process was effortless. Thank you so much, Tara!!

    Haleakalā Engagement!

    I can’t recommend Tara enough! My fiancé hired her and her team to photograph our surprise sunset engagement on top of Haleakalā and I had no idea that the photographer there was there for us! My fiancé and I aren’t naturally good at posing for pictures but Tara and her team helped us the entire time all while making us feel comfortable! She gave us sneak peeks 24 hours after the proposal and got the full album 2 weeks after! She did an amazing job editing them, I can’t stop looking at them!! So thankful such an incredible team could capture such a special moment in our lives! We will cherish these FOREVER!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

    Amazing and incredible!

    Best experience and photos!! From the very beginning, 6 months out, I contacted Tara inquiring engagement photos. This was something I have never done and on top of that I was preparing to ask the most important question to my now fiancé. From the very start there was very VERY good communication on what I could expect and what I should do! It really makes the whole experience stress free for me! There was multiple times if I had any questions I could call Tara and speak on the phone! Weeks prior to the engagement I even received a very detailed email with times, pictures, and specific instructions on where to be!! There was a never a doubt or worry in my mind and I feel like that’s something hard to find in business’ in todays world!

    The photos are absolutely amazing… I’m not a very photogenic person and my fiancé and I never really were the best at posing but when we did these photos it’s was the most fun and best experience we could ever ask for.. we were truly caught in the moment!

    The photo quality is absolutely incredible! We sat down with family and took our first glances at them a day ago and let’s just say there was some emotions… the photos the photographer took truly capture the moment and we are so blessed to be able to revisit that for a life time!

    Can not recommend Tara enough, INCREDIBLE work and all around experience!
