The Inspirational Married Duo: Cameron and Tia

I’ve never once heard a duo so bold and vibrant during pre-wedding photos, especially throughout the pandemic, as I had them. Not only were they kind to the couple, but they were also one of the first photographers that introduced themselves to me before I could introduce myself to them.

Their respectful nature and bubbly selves aren’t a surprise, considering their past careers before diving into weddings. Also, a married couple, they knew what they loved about their wedding experience and wanted to bring this to others. “Cameron & I met in second grade and went to school together all growing up. We started dating at the end of our senior year of high school. At the end of college, Cameron was into photography very casually and we were photographing high school seniors. After our wedding, we fell in love with the wedding industry and decided to try to book a handful of weddings for the following year. Cameron was in law school, and I was teaching and coaching dance. We thought, ‘let’s try to book maybe 3-5 weddings.’’ Anyone with that much positivity is bound to attract way more than five clients a year.

Their first year in business, they booked eighteen weddings with zero experience, building their portfolio faster than expected and transitioned into full-time photography around the same time that year.“….Cameron & I are not dip-our-toes-in-the-water type of people, we are dive-in-head-first type of people.” Their entrepreneurial nature and willingness to take risks while having fun in their own lives translates to how they shoot photos, too. If you browse their work, you won’t spot heavy filters to create beautiful, timeless images but instead browse natural shots of couples and their guests by truly creating an uplifting and comfortable atmosphere as they take photos.

Cameron and Tia approach weddings with their understanding of married life and success together, thus attracting couples who want this for their future together as well. “Our favorite couples typically plan their wedding together (versus one individual taking most of the workload) as they are so excited to incorporate intentional details and make choices that will eventually become their personal traditions. They love full-out-belly laughs, spending time outdoors, and they are most excited about creating a guest experience on their wedding day that their friends and families rave about for years to come. We love weddings with intentional pauses to soak in the day, tons of time spent laughing and drinking with friends and family, sun-soaked golden hour portraits, and all the joy!!” You’ll find Tia and Cameron laughing along with you, for whatever reason, on your wedding day, too.
