How I cater to offbeat weddings

I take the time to get to know my clients. This helps me with deciding how to approach each individual/couple/family. Some of my clients are shyer, some are so energetic, some don’t like certain things (so I avoid them), and some need a little more cheering… There’s no “one size fits all,” which is why we must click. I want my clients to get to know me, like, the real me. I want them to be able to go grab a drink with me, go bowling, come visit me at the studio and share drinks at the rooftop. I want to surround myself with people I can relate with – and vice versa. I want my clients to be able to connect with me. I want to work with “my humans.” I mean, if you don’t like me, I’m going to be a pain in the bumbum to be around for the duration of our booking – because I talk too much, joke around and throw in bad dad jokes here and there 😛 Just sayin’!

Tara is a total godsend!! She is professional, responsive, personable, easy-going and a joy to work with. As someone who tends to be uncomfortable in front of the camera- she made me feel right at home. She even went the extra mile to help me in a time crunch. Her turnaround time on photos and printing was AMAZING. I can't wait to find another reason to book a photoshoot with Tara!! If you're thinking about booking her service, don't think twice! She has a gift and loves her clients and what she does. It really doesn't get better!! (Renata D.*)

Cover Image

REQUIRED. Select one image to be used as your cover image, which will appear on the category and location pages. Square images work best. Important: Until you add a cover image, your listing will not appear on category or location pages.

Highlighted Images

Please select up to three images to be highlighted in the header of your portfolio. Note that our templates are designed to be responsive, which means that these images will crop differently depending on the viewer's browser size and orientation -- on mobile, images map crop horizontally. On huge desktops, they may crop vertically. That's as intended, although it may result in some headless couples depending on your photo composition.

How I cater to offbeat weddings

This is one of the most important fields on your vendor listing! Our readers love to feel special and like you understand the issues that are important to them -- stuff like LGBTQ support, gender-neutral contracts, and inclusive sizing. They also love hearing about how offbeat YOU are, so be sure to mention any of your own quirks as a way to relate to folks.

Client Testimonial

This is the spot to share a short client quote. The formatting of this section looks best with only a few sentences, but feel free to include a link to full reviews.

Promotions or Discounts

Everyone likes a coupon, but our readers LOVE feeling special, and like their specialness matters and gets them a deal. They especially love discounts or coupons specifically for marginalized communities or identities. If you've ever had a particular client you've wanted to work with (say, a transgender bride or a goth couple or a polyamorous triad) this is the spot to offer a discount specifically to those communities!
