Asheville wedding & elopement photographer

Hi, I’m Tasha

How I became a photographer: 

I want to spill the tea and let you know that I didn’t like having my photograph taken, I was hyper-critical of myself (as are a lot of people in life: you know who you are). 

Inevitably, I found myself being the one behind the camera. It helped kickstart a change in career (after a wonderful spell in the airline & tourism industry) but having no photos of me sucked! 

So, I set out on a wonderful educational adventure of learning how to take beautiful portraits. 

My passion for photography elevated from taking “documentary style” (which I still love doing) to adding in moments of carefully curated portraiture. A great portrait doesn’t happen (usually) by accident. My why is to make you feel on top of the world and say “wow, is that me?”! 

There is no such thing as “perfection” but there is something perfect within each and every one of us. I’m here to celebrate you and be your cheer-leader. 

The photographer that you hire for your wedding or elopement will greatly influence the feel of your day. The chats & laughter that you will share are important to bring about authenticity. 

This is your day and I’ll never forget that. 

I’m a great fit for joyous and romantic people. I’m down to earth and know how to chat with Grandpa, oh the things I’ve learned over the years, especially in the South!!

About me: 

I was born in England (still have my accent), grew up in Europe plus Singapore & Asheville has been home for over a decade. I’ve lived in 7 countries but I’ve never felt more at home than here.

I’m a vegetarian by choice. Whenever I travel, I head straight to a deli and get the local varietals. Cheese and crackers (& wine) is a perfectly acceptable meal, y’all! 

Caring for the environment is incredibly important to me and I do my best to minimize my footprint. In 2024, I’m planting a tree for every wedding that I photograph. 

I consider myself to be an extroverted-introvert. I love meeting new people but also need time by myself, usually with a cat on my lap, listening to nature. 

It’s about balance. 

I hope that you are finding balance as you navigate your way through wedding planning process? 

Don’t forget the “self-care” y’all. Planning a wedding is stressful, take time out for you (and put the spreadsheets aside every now and then). 

I love to spend time surrounded by nature: either on a hike or simply watching the birds at the feeders, while sipping on a British cuppa. 

My favorite TV series ever created is “Ted Lasso”, to me, it’s perfection. British humor with American warmth and the best script-writing that I’ve ever known. A close second is Schitt’s Creek.

I will ask about your favorite TV series on the contact page. If you don’t watch TV, tell me about your favorite book or anything that stirs your soul. I love to have an insight into your world. 

Little shout out here…I had a wedding published in prestigious Southern Bride winter/spring 2022-23 printed edition and online and I was voted #1 Photographer in Asheville.

If my style (and personality) speak to you, I’d love to hear from you. 

Cheers!

Tasha
