If you are looking for the best photographer in the world you have found her. Tara  went so far above and beyond to ensure our wedding and engagement photos were flawless and exactly what we were after. I have never met or dealt with more caring and selfless person who will literally climb down a rock wall, freeze their hands in -40, and go to the ends of the earth to get the perfect shot. Tara helped plan the wedding day down to the minute to ensure all the photo locations we wanted could fit with the timeline of the day so we could have the day of our dreams. Throughout the past year, Tara has been a pillar of the day right up until the end. Our family and friends were in awe of her throughout the process and she has become such important person in our lives. I cannot say enough amazing things about Stoppa Photography and the quality and care she puts into her work. Hiring Tara is the best decision you can make for your photography needs. I cannot wait to work with her in the future!
