Tasha Owen Photography

I seriously could not be happier with hiring Tasha as our wedding photographer. The whole experience was truly fantastic, and I would recommend her to anyone!
We initially hired Tasha because we liked the look of her portfolio: full of life and personality, without all the Pinterest-​inspired posed photos that look stilted and forced. First of all, Tasha and her assistant are really professionals; they were on time (early in fact), were fully aware of our schedule, and kept things moving at a good pace. They also weren’t afraid to go off script a little bit when they saw something nearby that would be a good photo backdrop.
Mostly though, Tasha is fun to be around. She considers it part of her job to put her subjects at ease (I mean, who really likes getting their photos taken), and even though she was mostly a fly on the wall, the rest of the time she’s a riot. Everybody enjoyed having her around, and she’s a memory we all share now. (She even got my 3-​year-​old nephew to stand still and smile in our formal family shots. I still don’t know how that happened!)
Tasha communicated with us after the day to let us know when we’d be getting the photos. And seriously, the package we got from her! First of all, the usual online gallery you can share with friends and family where they can purchase prints and full res digital files; but more than that, she sent us a thumb drive with literally every photo (nearly 1,500) and a signed letter saying they are 100% officially our property with no exceptions. She also included a handful of 8×10s she selected, and – I kid you not – around 650 4×6 prints. I knew that Tasha would be a great photographer, but I had NO idea how much we were getting for the money.
I can’t recommend her enough!

I can’t even imaging how you could find a better wedding photographer than Tasha. We had her do our engagement pictures, and were completely in love with how they turned out. But more importantly, we loved spending the afternoon with Tasha and Tom. They were so patient, and put us completely at ease. My fiancé was ready to lose it by the time we arrived at her house after sitting in disgusting traffic, and I thought our photo session would be ruined. But Tasha sat him down, had Tom get him a glass of nice scotch, and we all relaxed and ended up having a great time.
We thought we knew what the expect after our engagement session, but when it came to our wedding day, Tasha and Tom impressed us yet again and I fully realized how lucky we were to have them by our sides on the biggest day of our lives. Hiring Tasha was the best decision we made, and she is maybe the only vendor I would 100% recommend without any reservations. We had a bit of a time crunch, since I took much longer getting ready than I had planned on. Tasha kept her cool though, and kept me calm as well. I was dreaming of having hours and hours to take pictures with my fiancé, but we ended up with about 30 minutes. I was terrified this would ruin my day, but after seeing some «sneak peeks» a few weeks after our wedding, I realized 30 minutes is plenty when you’re working with someone who knows what they are doing.
The most miraculous part of Tasha’s personality and talent, is that she was able to wrangle both of our extended families, get everyone to stand still and smile, and make everyone laugh at the same time. I still think about what a challenge this would be for most people, and I can’t wait to see the pictures of everyone we love together, they will be treasured forever.

By far my favorite vendor of our wedding.
Tasha and her husband, Tom, were everything and more of what my now husband and I were looking for in photography. From our first discussion at the Seattle Bridal Expo, through our first meeting at her place in Tacoma and all pre-​wedding contact to the day of and post-​wedding communication, they truly provided the comfort and quality that every bride and groom looks for in wedding vendors.
We worked with them ahead of time to create a «shots list» and they managed to capture nearly all of them without any struggle or stress. They let the natural flow of the day happen, but still managed to keep our high-​energy group in «control.»
They provided their own transportation (even ALL the way to Anacortes!) and food, and went over and beyond to ensure both of us, the bride and groom, got exactly what we wanted; and it was done in the smoothest and most professional manner. Tasha was FABULOUS with working with the very young and high-​energy children. She even had the adults laughing and relaxing with her fun animal sounds (ask for the horse). All of our guests were asking who our photographers were for weeks after the wedding — even when they weren’t with us, they made awesome impressions with our family and friends.
They were completely honest with us on turnaround times (we got married in the heart of wedding season!), and let us know when there would be any sort of delay. When we first received the photos so nicely assembled and printed in a memory box, we spent hours going through each and every one, and it felt like we were reliving the day that felt so blurred. I laughed and smiled, I even got a little emotional at some of the sentimental moments — it was surreal. They took individual shots of a lot of our guests, and each and every one perfectly captured their unique personalities.
I can’t convey in words how appreciative I am for the amazing job these two did. It truly felt like we had extended family as photographers. Tasha had this way of helping us appreciate every moment — I remember specifically her taking a shot of me and bringing my groom over to her camera to show him «how beautiful and stunning,» I was. She made us feel in awe and really helped to «slow down» the special day for us both.
It was great to have two photographers — I highly recommend it. You get different views/​angles and lots of emotional reaction shots from your family/​friends. Tom may have seemed as though he was in the background, but the shots you get from his views are priceless.
No need to sell a product/​service as quality and professional as these two. Just spend a little time chatting with either of them and you’ll pick up on their contagious and warm personalities.

I cannot say enough good things about Tasha and her husband Tom. They took both our engagement and wedding photos and did such an amazing job. The pictures are beautiful and natural and everything we could have hoped for, but, what’s more, Tasha and her husband were a complete joy to work with. They instantly felt like family and that was very important to me and my husband. On the day of the wedding they helped keep us hydrated and constantly checked in on us to make sure we were ok and having a great time. They made great conversation and were so kind and respectful to all of our guests. I’m just sad we won’t have an excuse to see them anymore! Don’t hesitate to hire Tasha Owen as your wedding photographer!

Tasha and Tom did my sisters wedding and a family function a number of years ago so she was on my interview list for our wedding. When my husband (fiancé then) met with her we were so appreciative of her loving, caring, fun attitude. That was exactly what we wanted on our day. She was very knowledgeable, pricing was very reasonable and we were completely at ease with booking her.
The day of the wedding they were early (thank you Lord) and I was lucky enough to spend some time with Tasha as I got ready and my husband with Tom. I 100% believe that they contributed not just beautiful pictures but a calming friendship throughout the day for us.

Tasha and Tom did my engagement and wedding photography and all I can say is, they were absolutely fabulous to work with and we loved our photos. Tasha has a very gregarious personality and puts you at ease. She has a very creative eye and knows how to pose you for photos or do excellent candids. I love that she and her husband Tom work together because they are able to capture two images of the same shot from different angles. They both have years of experience in the field and their work is top-​notch. Best of all, their prices are very reasonable and I was very surprised at everything we got for the price. It beat out all of the other competition of in-​demand wedding photographers. I highly, highly recommend Tasha Owen Photography.

One of the many tough decisions in planning a wedding was picking a photographer who would suit us as a couple, deliver what we wanted, and for a reasonable price.
While booking our venue, caterer, DJ, and baker, we discovered each one had something in common… they had either worked with or heard of the photographer we chose — Tasha Owen.
We were informed of her warm personality as well as her professionalism and willingness to give her clients exactly what they want. We decided we would have to meet this genius with a camera for ourselves. We finally had the pleasure a few months back, and the rumors were true. Tasha’s bubbly personality, laughter, and excitement for what she does really came through in our first meeting. We were ecstatic when we learned she was available for the date of our wedding.
Her prices are very reasonable, and she has many options and «add-​ons» to various packages. We compared so so many photographers (their prices and what they can offer), and Tasha definitely came out on top. Tasha Owen Photography received the 2011 Bride’s Choice Award for Photography from WeddingWire, the nation’s leading wedding technology company. She has also had her work published in Seattle Bride and South Sound Wedding Magazine. Also named The Knot’s best of weddings in 2010 and 2011.
Although our wedding isn’t till July, we really look forward to working with her and seeing the final product. I will update my review after the bid day :)
