My name is Tamara


ENFP/INFP, LIBRA, ENNEAGRAM 6, 5TH GENERATION CHINESE-CANADIAN


At the end of the day, after the final song is played and the outfits are hung up back in the closet, all we have left are photos to serve as visual memories of our lives. 

I’ve been taking photos and been obsessed with photography since I was 5 years old. From a young age, I’ve learned the power of photographs and so much about my grandparents, loved ones, and ancestors I never got to meet. I’ve always known I wanted to be the person to document those memories for others. 

I started professionally as an event photographer when I was 18, documenting intimate and large scale events for my university for print and publication. After graduating, I transitioned into weddings and fell in love with love. What lights me up is honouring not only you, the couple, celebrating your marriage, but the connections you share with your family and friends. Weddings are one of the rare and beautiful times when all your loved ones are able to be in the same room at the same time - capturing those moments is one of the most fulfilling things as a photographer.

  • The photos from my couple shoot look like they are straight from a movie! Tamara is genuine, kind, adaptable, and unbelievably talented. She guided us through easy-to-follow poses that were still very natural and helped us both feel comfortable. I would recommend her to anyone!

    - Meg and Steven

  • Tamara is absolutely fantastic! She did a wonderful job capturing all the beautiful moments at my son's wedding tea ceremony. She is extremely professional, great at directing group photos and quick delivery of the photo gallery. We are so happy with the photos.

    - Fanny

  • Tamara made Tony and me feel so comfortable on camera and she knew exactly what to say to get us to feel natural. She is such a sweet person who has incredible talent as a photographer. I could not have asked for the photos to turn out any better.
