About

On WeddingWire since 2022

Tara Kearsing Photography is an engagement and wedding photography service located in Poughkeepsie, New York.

Hi! I'm Tara, the lead photographer and only person you will be talking to when you work with me! I provide clear expectations, prompt communication, and tons of guidance (on top of amazing photos!!!). You'll be able to relax on your wedding day knowing that you can trust me to capture what is most important to you.

My Approach

  • Let's figure out what you picture when thinking about your wedding day
  • Create a detailed timeline and list of requested images
  • Capture real, authentic moments as you remember them
  • Help keep everyone on schedule and give you reminders throughout the day (like when there's an awesome sunset or making sure the bride's dress is ready for the first dance).
  • I want you to see me more as a friend than your "professional photographer". I want us to feel comfortable around each other and especially for you to feel free to express yourselves!

My Style

  • I will pose you for portraits, leave you alone for candids, and give some small direction to make my vision come to life
  • Capturing various viewpoints and details of your day to create a photographic diary
  • I want every photo you receive to look amazing! I review and edit every photo that I deliver to make sure it is up to my standards
  • My edits are true color which means they will look like it did on the day of your wedding (with a litte pizzaz)

All Expectations Met & More :-)

Tara gets five stars all around! She was so eager to reach out to me when I first requested her photography services, and her responses to all emails throughout our correspondence were helpful, professional, and arrived quickly. Tara genuinely cared about us and what we wanted. Our in-person meeting was so helpful, and really helped instill my confidence in her skills. She arrived early to the ceremony, and took such beautiful pictures. She had so many great ideas, and we will cherish our special day through the images she captured for years to come.

An enchanted dream come true

Tara has an incredible gift; my partner and I were absolutely thrilled to work with her and our experience from start to finish was like a dream. She promptly arrived at our spot with not only her equipment, but also an assortment of props and even a fog machine (that we used to great effect and enjoyment)...

After we discussed our enchanted vision, Tara made our dream a reality with great company, conversation, and composition. The Sun even broke through on our cloudy day to give us the final moments of golden hour.

Thank you so much, Tara!

Hey! I'm Tara, the color loving weirdo behind the lens! I've always had a love of the outdoors, animals, and art and even today all of my hobbies probably fall into one of these categories. I'm the protective older sibling to 3, married to my high school best friend, and we're slowly turning our propety into a mini farm. Together we have one dog (my baby), 2 outdoor cats (I'm allergic), and 6 chickens.
