Wedding Photography Excellence Awards Collection 42.

We are Tara Theilen and Matt Theilen. Just two people in love with life and passionate about what we do. We met in 1998 when Matt was living in his VW van, spending winters rock climbing in Joshua Tree while Tara was finishing up graduate school in Tucson. Over the next 9 years we were friends living our lives in different places. We would see each other and hang out from time to time, mostly high up on a rock face or on some long, mosquito-ridden approach in the Sierras. We were both rock climbers and sought out the solitude and adventure of the mountains. In 2007 a tragedy brought us together (this is a story best told in person) and we needed to be near each other, so Tara moved out to Lake Tahoe. We soon fell in love with each other and naturally, we united forces photographing weddings and building this amazing business together. We have never looked back. Our little family in the mountains consists of our creatively quirky and curious daughter Zoe, and our dog Daisy.

I am a storyteller who lives in Campo Grande, Mato Grosso doSul and my greatest pleasure is to photograph and eternalize beautiful moments for all who trust me with such a special day. I am a winner of several prestigious international wedding photo awards around the world. Weddings and wedding photography are my passions.

I’m a Manchester, northern UK based wedding photographer, shooting weddings alongside my other (better) half Pete Farrell, as Pixies in the Cellar. It seems over ten years have whizzed by and we’ve captured plenty of real wedding moments. Personally, I love the people, that’s what makes a wedding shine, being able to immortalise those real moments is quite an honour really. Photographically I look for simplicity, geometry and genuine emotion which all tickle my fancy. Over the past few years pressing the shutter at the correct time has paid off with multiple awards from ISPWP (Top UK photographer 2018), Fearless photographers, This is Reportage and MyWed. Looking forward to capturing more unique moments, timeless memories and quirky unexpected angles - wedding photography is such an amazing opportunity to express and explore that arty streak.
