From my point of view as a wife and busy mom to 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.

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. Which I'm sure Quinn wishes I would stop adding to. I also offer film photography as an add on item, so if you love film as well as digitals and not just prints but that good old fashioned character that film cameras brought, then let me know and I'll get you a customized quote! 

I have been published internationally, in over 100 magazine articles and awarded 'Best of Atlanta Wedding Photography award from 2020-2023'.

YOUR GEORGIA ENGAGEMENT  & WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER

I'm tamela 

am so excited you're here! I am a wife, mother, 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!

I

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!

What sets Forever Love Photography apart from other photographers?

How many photos are typically included and can we print the photos ourselves?

Fantastic! To reserve your wedding date, we’ll need a completed contract and a $1500, non-refundable retainer. The remaining balance will broken into up to 6 equal parts with final payment due 30 days before the wedding date.

"A little over a month before my wedding I had a last minute cancellation on a photographer. I posted on a brides page on Facebook trying to find someone to help. Tamela quickly jumped in and offered a phone consultation that night! From the moment we began our conversation I was blown away with Tamela’s energy and passion for her work. The connection was instantaneous and I know she was the right person for the job. The experience just continued to surpass expectation. On our wedding day Tamela celebrated with us and felt like family! Before we left the venue that evening she even had a sneak peak video put together (from our wedding that day!) to show us some of the shots. On our photo reveal day Tamela made a memorable day even more special by adding so many special touches to show us all of the amazing shots! She was nothing short of professional and personable the entire time. I will Forever be thankful for her stepping in and taking on a huge roll for our wedding!"
