Carmel CA wedding photographer

TATIANA SCHER

PHOTOGRAPHER

LGBTQIA + INCLUSIVE

As a documentary-style photographer my main focus is to imprint moments into images that evoke the unique emotions of each individual in front of my lens. I encourage my clients to envision their special day beyond mere photo ops: dream of intimate moments during sunset, the ocean breeze gently rustling your hair, the fog embracing you during your first kiss, the melody of your first dance under the canopy of the redwood forest, the breathtaking landscape as you drive in a classic car, or a secluded scenic spot at the end of a hike where you exchange vows.

With over 15 years of experience as a professional photographer, my journey around the world as an artist has exposed me to a myriad of cultures, challenging light situations, and diverse focuses. This has helped me develop an eclectic and dreamy style that perfectly complements my documentary approach. Throughout my career, my work has spanned photojournalism, underwater photography, travel, and editorial photography for various prestigious publications, including a recent feature in National Geographic’s first LGBTQIA+ inclusive travel guide, “Out in the World.”

Are we a good fit?

EMOTIONAL. VIBRANT. REAL. UNPOSED

Authentic and unfiltered emotions lie at the heart of storytelling and memory documentation. It’s not merely about capturing photos or striking poses; it’s about crafting experiences and freezing meaningful moments in time.

Though I provide ample direction and possess formal training in posing techniques, I am fundamentally against rigid and clichéd posing.

My objective is to help you craft meaningful experiences that foster an environment where you feel comfortable sharing the layers of your story. I strive to capture your personality in a way that transforms simple, gentle expressions into timeless moments, evoking the true essence of the emotions you want to document.
