Tamar Hope Photography

Wedding date 17/12/21 I would like to start by saying after a lot of back and forth I have received 1000 of the total 2000 bill since the wedding but I feel like it should of been the full amount nearly a year on and I can't let go of the huge disappointment I feel when I look at my wedding photos. It has been nearly a year since we got married and I still feel completely devistated about the photos / video I paid nearly 2000 for it all started the night before our wedding when Tamar and partner cancled due to personal circumstances and arranged to send someone else - 1 person when we had paid for 2. The morning of the wedding nobody arrived to the b&b where myself and my bridesmaids where staying until 40 minutes before we where due to leave by this point my baby had been dropped off with me and it was a stressful time with crying children ect trying to get dressed and finalise everything before we left so I asked the photographer to leave. I have no photos getting ready hair / make up matching pjs ect because nobody turned up. There is no usable photos or video of me arriving at the venue or walking down the isle ( I have attached the final edits that I was sent ) I was crying when I seen these. The photos inside the wedding registrary are terrible the lighting is so bad in 90% of the photos. Again there is no photos of my husband and I arriving in our wedding car to our venue and one photo of us entering the room to our waiting geusts from a distance. There is no photos of the table set up, Place cards, ect. The 2 cake cutting photos are unusable my husbands eyes are closed in 1 and the lighting is terrible in the second. The photos infront of the flower wall with our guests are shocking window above things left and right in the shot - again I want to stress these are all final edits and could of been cropped before sending to me. I paid for unlimited photography and video I excepted to receive a video of my wedding ceremony, speeches cake cutting ect I did not I got a highlights video that I haven't shared with anyone until now because I'm so disappointed with it. I had a harpist before the ceremony, a live band playing during my drinks reception. Singing waiters after the meal - none of this is filmed. I feel like I wasted valued time on my wedding day taking photos that are unusable. I have no photos of myself and my husband and children. Very minimal photos of my children. I would urge everyone to do serious research before booking such an important part of your day and I hope this doesn't happen to anyone else.

Tamar has captured for us memories that mean so much more than words can express. She constantly goes above and beyond. Back in 2019 when we got married my Grandma couldnt make it to our wedding as she had Alzheimers and was in a care home. Tamar came with us the day after our wedding to the care home and photographed us with my sweet Grandma. She recently passed away and those photographs mean more to me than anything. When you book a photographer youre not just booking someone to take photos youre booking someone to preserve memories and Tamar does this absolutely exquisitely. We have since been photographed by Tamar on many occasions and her work is meaningful art. Its full of joy, delicacy, honesty and raw emotion. Every time were photographed by Tamar her work blows us away. I will always trust Tamar to tell our story and I cant wait for all the sessions well book with her in the future!

We had our newborn/family pictures taken by Tamar a few weeks ago. Tamar came highly recommended and she did not disappoint. She captured our little family so authentically and made our everyday look like pure magic. Shes also just the sweetest soul and was so wonderful with our kids throughout the shoot. We adore our pictures and would book another shoot with Tamar in a heartbeat. Would make the best gift for new parents (or anyone for that matter - Tamar is honestly fantastic at capturing those warm everyday moments!)

Tamar was incredible to shoot with - she was so helpful when it came to picking locations and then on the day she was really friendly and put us both at ease (including a partner who does not love being in front of a camera!). The pictures are just stunning and it's so special we will have them to look back on with our daughter when she arrives. Thanks, Tamar - we'll be back for family photos!
