about
MEET TAMARA
Both science and art play a role in the composition of refined wedding portraiture. Luckily, Tamara has a background in both worlds...plus a deeply rooted appreciation for travel, beauty, and fashion.
While Tamara holds a PhD in Cancer Research from the University of Cambridge, she made the transition from scientist to love story preservationist nine years ago. Details have always mattered to her—her fascination with the framework of cells simply shape-shifted into a passion for capturing people, moments, and emotions in all of their intricacies. She has also always been a fashion lover, and it goes without saying that the years she spent working in a sterile laboratory environment only heightened her awareness of aesthetics and beauty.
Tamara was originally born in Bavaria, but her husband and Tamara have split their time between Chicago and Colorado since moving to the States. Whether she is photographing a wedding in America or abroad, she is known for marrying her decidedly European style with diverse love stories. It is her purpose and her privilege to create eternal, tangible memories you’ll delight in returning to as the years go by.

I photograph in a way that requires both the photographer and the subject to take things slowly. I shoot every frame differently and think about composition in the moment rather than afterward while culling images. The result? Airy, editorial photographs that capture not only a memory, but an associated mood as well. On your wedding day I will make sure that no detail goes undocumented.

My father was a photographer. Because of this, I spent my childhood in Germany studying light—the way it highlights white mountains, brightens deep green forests, and is absorbed by blue lakes. It’s been eight years since I followed in his footsteps to become a professional photographer, and my appreciation for light and nature has only continued to grow…as has my desire to share our world’s breathtaking beauty with others.
