Tara Johansen Photography

La Jolla, CA
  • Editorial style

Hello Darling! I'm so glad you're here! I'm Tara - the eye behind the lens in all the photos you see here. It's a privilege and an honor to get to do what I do. It is so much more than a job to me. Every photograph I take is a little pieces of my heart that I leave with every one of my couples. I'm committed to documenting the heirloom moments of your family legacy. I am a historian curating timeless moments for you to live over and over again. I see beauty in everyone and it is my joy and privilege to show my clients how beautiful they are. <3

If I have the option to work with Tara, that is who I will hire to second for me, without a doubt. I have literally flown her to locations where I didn't "have" to because she really is so lovely to work with. I know I don't need to manage Tara at all, she know how to get the photographs that the clients are dreaming of without being intrusive or overhearing. She is professional, and kind, and so fun to be around. I wish 2020 weddings were happening just so we could shoot together, dang it Corona.

As a photographer, my goal is to capture stories in the form of images. Photos have the power to help you relive a specific moment in time and recall all of the emotions and details surrounding that moment. When I work with you on a photo project, my goal is to provide you with photographic records of those moments. I want you to be able to look back at your photos years from today and be able to relive that moment in time.

We were so blessed to be able to work with this company. Our photos turned out better than we could’ve imagined. We highly recommend if you are looking for exceptional service, and beautiful photos!

Jenni and her team did a phenomenal job capturing our wedding day. We felt so comfortable from the moment we first met with her and that definitely translated to how easy it felt taking direction from her for our wedding day photos. Her team took time to get to know us and figure out what we were comfortable with so it felt natural (we're not the most comfortable in front of the camera but somehow she figured out how to get those sweet in the moment shots without it feeling forced!). The photos turned out stunning. From the formal portraits to our mountain top vows to the sweetest candids she captured of me and my dad and my adorable nieces and nephews there’s seriously so many amazing photos to choose from. I also appreciated how organized she was with our formal portrait list keeping it quick and everyone ready to move through those as soon as possible. Cannot recommend her enough. Thank you so much Jenni! We absolutely could not dream of better photos!

  • Serves La Jolla, CA

Hello! I'm Natalie, a passionate documentary photographer dedicated to capturing the authentic and heartfelt moments of your special day. My approach to wedding photography is all about storytelling. I believe the most beautiful photos come from genuine, unscripted moments that reflect the true emotions and unique story of each individual couple. When I'm not behind the camera, you can find me spending time with my family, traveling to new places, or just cuddled up with a good show and a comfy blanket. I’m always inspired by the beauty of everyday moments and bring this inspiration into my work.

Working with Natalie was a dream. It can be overwhelming having a camera on you and all this attention on you but Natalie carries herself with such a beautiful energy that puts you at ease. She really helps pose you and feel comfortable and before you know it you’re posing on your own. The confidence really shows in her images. My husband and I couldn’t be more happy with our photos! Can’t wait to work with her again, would recommend to all of my friends!

To me, capturing the moments of your wedding day is not only about making photos. It is about seeing your love in every single detail. The way you look, smile, touch and hold each other’s hands are those tiny things that help me portray the story of your big love without any words being said.

I really enjoyed Natalia so much! So creative with the film shots. The eventual overall photos were beautiful. I’m not sure how she ran around and captured it all in such a way! She was very punctual and very cooperative about the multiple locations over the course of the day. Wonderful photos I’ll adore forever. Thanks so much Natalia!

I believe that love inspires art. Your wedding day will most likely be a blur of joy, nerves, and excitement with some extraordinary moments in between. Using both film and digital mediums, I balance a combination of both editorial and photojournalistic styles with a fine art approach. This collaboration will allow you both to fully enjoy each and every moment, as we tell the story of your wedding day. Wedding photography is an investment that lasts a lifetime, it’s the part of your wedding day that lives on. This is your love story, told in a classic, authentic, and timeless way.

Vanessa has an amazing eye and her work is gorgeous. She's creative, easy to work with, and has an attention to detail that's hard to beat. I couldn't be happier that I had the opportunity to work with her. I highly recommend Vanessa Rose Photography.

I’m Cecilia, a photographer, entrepreneur, and creator. For me, photography is more than just my job, it’s a central part of who I am. Since I was a kid I’ve felt the need to document life as I see it, to capture beautiful moments that last. I am so in love with this art form in every sense.

I'm Katherine, a wedding photographer based in Oakland, CA. With over a decade of experience and features in Vogue, Brides, The New York Times, and more, I know how to create wedding photos that don’t just look stunning — they feel like you. No trendy filters, no forced poses, just authentic moments that reflect who you are. I believe the best moments aren’t staged. They unfold naturally, in the quiet glances, the belly laughs, and those unspoken connections shared with your loved ones. My goal is to capture those raw, in-between moments that truly make your wedding day yours!

Katherine was amazing to work with! She shot both our engagement and city hall photos and we could not have asked for a better partner. She was super patient with us and gave us great direction since we were both a little awkward in front of the camera. She always came prepared and made sure at City Hall she was able to get great shots from all the key places we had discussed. Bonus points, our parents loved the experience and the pictures!

While some photographers emphasize their gear or trendy post-processing, I take pride in subject-photographer interaction - the relation I build with clients, picking up on nuances in pose and expression while we shoot, anticipating the viewers' response - because ultimately, that's how photographs that matter to us are created. I'm a native New Yorker who found myself relocating to Los Angeles and making it my home. Wherever you'd like to have your wedding, it would be my pleasure to be your photographer.

Awarded Best of Zola
Stephen was a delight to work with throughout our engagement and on the day of our wedding. He is a calm, cool, and professional photographer who was always supportive of our ideas and able to lend fantastic input regarding posing, setting, and album design. Stephen always had incredible and talented assistants who were able to find tremendous shots at both our engagement and wedding shoots. The quality and style of his work were exactly what we were looking for -- more candid and 'in-the-moment' than posed and portrait-y (though we certainly got plenty of family portraits too!) We would be very happy to work with Stephen again for any future photography needs.

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

Awarded Best of Zola
We loved Isaac and his wife, Jing, who photographed our wedding earlier this month. Isaac was super calm and collected and on top of everything. His photography style was perfect for us. He already delivered about half of our retouched photos a week after the wedding which was insane and I love every single one. He was flexible with the 5 flower girls we had in and out of pictures and the multiple areas on our venue property. Overall an amazing experience and I recommend his work to anyone and everyone looking. He was very considerate when I first reached out about his work and wanted to use him and was very mindful of his travel fees to fit in our budget.

Whether your wedding is a lavish affair or an intimate elopement, I'm equipped to handle it all. From climbing mountains for the perfect shot to capturing the charm of a luxurious venue, I'm dedicated to turning your vision into reality.

Calea was amazing from start to finish! I live in GA and got married in OR. All I saw was her IG and a brief conversation to book. I could not be more impressed with her and her work. I put all my faith into her from across the country and she did not let me down. Calea is so easy to work with and she is up for anything! Calea had sneak peaks to us immediately and a full gallery delivered in less than 2 weeks! My husband was skeptical at first but when he saw her work, he was absolutely blown away and how phenomenal she is! Calea also isn't afraid to be the voice if you are uneasy with telling others what they need to do. We had her at our Venue the day of the wedding. The next day we took a trip to Crater Lake and she captured my vision perfectly!! I have recommended Calea and True Light Photography to all of my friends and family!
