Meet Tamela

Tamela

My favorite part is the love stories. I guess you could say that I am a big ol' sap. I LIVE for these stories! From a very young age, there are two things that I have always loved, reading romantic novels, and taking pictures! Capturing the pure, authentic, raw emotion between two people, that spark, that connection, THAT is why I left my corporate job and dove headfirst into turning my passion into a full time business. 

Fun fact time... I also have a collection of cool vintage cameras.I have been published internationally, in over 100 magazine articles and awarded 'Best of Atlanta Wedding Photography award from 2020-2023'.

I am so excited you're here! I am a mother, a writer, an artist, and I enjoy perhaps a bit too much creamer in my coffee. I am a full time wedding, engagement and portrait photographer based out of the Atlanta Georgia. I absolutely love capturing timeless, bright and airy images with a pop of color, authentic emotions and could not imagine doing anything else than what I am doing right now!

Even with it's ups and downs, your life, your story, are beautiful and I can't wait to create images to show that!

From my point of view as a partner and busy mom of two beautiful and energetic kids, so I know firsthand how important it is to capture these times in your growing families lives before they slip away all too fast. My goal is to create lasting relationships with my clients and grow with them through all stages of their life, from their proposals & engagement session to their dream wedding here in Georgia or abroad, followed by them starting their family and watching it grow with love through my lens.

IT's NICE TO MEET YOU

My family and I are huge animal lovers! I have two amazing children my oldest, Jacob, will be 20 this year and my youngest, Michaela will turn 9 in November. . We have two pugs with whimsical nerdtastic names Sir Charles 'Charlie' Xavier Pugsington the III, Duke of Kibble, Dame 'River' Song Pugsington, Professor of Cuteness and Dutchess of the Curly-tails and our sassy cat Sophie Marie aka Sophie Badophie. We love movies and into anything geeky like Doctor Who, Marvel, anything to do with magic or mystical creatures, anime and just spending time as a family! We travel as often as we can and are marking off locations on our bucket list such as the Grand Canyon, Yosemite, Big Sur, Sequoia National Park, New York, Las Vegas and other great locations across the country.  

When I am not behind the camera, planning a wedding or engagement session, or editing one of these gorgeous wedding albums, you can find me hanging out with the family playing cards, vacationing at the beach or in the mountains, hiking one of the many beautiful trails around Atlanta, or all cozy on the couch, wrapped in my big fluffy blanket watching a movie with Charlie curled up in my lap or sitting at my desk working on my next YouTube tutorial for photographers! Let's Chat! 

Love, light & boundless blessings, 

I love surprising my couples with same day reveals during their reception! 

I'm always there to help in whatever way I can, even if that mean mending your gown.
