Caroline and Austin,

welcome!

We are so happy to have you here! Here is a little bit about what you can expect from your experience with Miranda Tate Photography.

THE APPROACH

THE MENTALITY BEHIND THE ARTISTRY

candid

The majority of your wedding photos will be of your laughing and embracing your loved ones. Your portrait session will mostly consist of holding hands, slow dancings, long hugs, and sweet kisses. The experience will always be valued over the photograph. Your happiness is my top priority.

Editorial

Although the majority of your photos will be candid, you will also receive photographic direction as needed and have the opportunity to take creative portraits upon request. Your detail photos will be taken with an artistic eye, and you will receive enough direction such that you will feel that the photos are complimentary to you. The composition, color work, and artistry will remind you of the day, but will also be emotive and aesthetic.

Documentary- style

In a world of artificial content, digitized bodies, and false representations of reality, you can rest assured knowing that your wedding photos will reflect nothing but reality. Edits are true-toned and film inspired; photoshop is minimal. This is an art of capturing true fleeting moments, not an art of creating something that wasn’t.

“First and foremost, Miranda blew me away with her generosity and kindness. I am someone who can be extremely critical of myself, and she really made me feel so comfortable in my own skin. I could not believe how much time was dedicated above and beyond what we had discussed.

The photos are absolutely everything to me, and brought happy tears. Each photo is so beautiful and many reminded me of tiny moments from that special day that got lost in all the excitement; it makes me wonder how many of those we lose in a day.

Miranda, please don't ever stop following your heart, because it's beautiful, and I think that's how God intended it. I am really looking forward to scheduling our next shoot!

- ALEX & LUPE

THE EXPERIENCE

WHAT CAN’T BE SEEN IN PHOTOGRAPHS

After the cake is eaten, the flowers have died, and friends and family have returned home, all that remains will be memories and the photos that hold them.

Every member of the Miranda Tate Photography team holds creativity, authenticity, and candor as the highest core values. You will be set up for success with realistic and authenticity-oriented photography timelines that give time for personal moments and the people who matter most. Your photographer will arrive early and prepared, ready to spend the day with you capturing true and lasting moments. We will laugh and cry together. All wedding images will be edited and delivered within two weeks, giving time for you to treasure them before the memories have faded, immortalizing moments to last a lifetime.

“Miranda was our wedding photographer and I cannot even begin to say how grateful I am for her! From the moment I first talked to her she felt like an old friend. This ended up being so important because she put us at ease and was a joy to work with throughout the whole process.

One thing I love about Miranda is the way she captures moments. From our getting ready photos to the after party, looking at the photos I feel like I’m back in that moment! All of our photos were organized by a timeline and we were able to access them through her website which was nice. The quality is amazing and just by looking at them I get to re-live our day.

We have already hung our favorites up on our walls and I know that I will be going back to them year after year.

Miranda is such a special and amazing person. She is definitely someone you want with you on the most important day of your life!

Thank you for everything Miranda.”

lingering questions

THAT YOU MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE THOUGHT TO ASK

  • Your collection will be just as unique and personal as you and your relationship! Full wedding services start at 8k and include up to 8 hours of coverage, a second photographer, black and white images, digital downloads, print release, and the option to add additional services! Additional days, services, and sessions are also available upon request!

    Everything about your experience is and will be simple, smooth, and effortless. Every client receives the highest level of treatment and service.

    *Restrictions apply and pricing is subject to change. Clients who are working within restrictive budgets are encouraged to reach out and inquire respecting custom collections.

  • As the photos are taken, your wedding photos are dual-saved onto two separate memory cards; after, they are backed up onto two hard drives and the original memory cards are saved in a fire-proof safe.

  • When it comes to wedding photography, I take the approach of the thespians: the show must go on.

    Every precaution is taken to ensure that your wedding day goes smoothly and without complication. For destination weddings, I arrive 24-48 hours before the wedding. For local weddings, I arrive 1-2 hours early. All gear is prepared and charged; every team member is fed and well-rested. In spite of this, however, there is always the possibility of an extreme emergency.

    In the case of such, my team would arrive without me and my second shooter would take over as the lead photographer. My second shooters are seasoned wedding photographers and prepared to photograph any wedding. If I am available, those photos would be delivered to me and I would edit and deliver them to you. If I am unavailable, the photos would be sent to a professional photo editor and then delivered to you. Such a circumstance has never occurred to me and is not expected to happen anytime in the foreseeable future.

  • I have always been an artist. In high school, I was a thespian, an actor, and a director. Above all, I loved directing. It was fulfilling to help young actors to connect and find comfort on the stage. At this time, I also learned important skills about color theory, lighting, and composition. These skills stayed with me and have translated into creative director and photographer: now, I help clients feel comfortable in front of the camera and I use what I have learned about color theory, lighting, and composition daily. I have now been in the industry for years and my work has taken me to historic museums, vintage churches, national parks, oceanside landmarks, remote islands, and mediterranean cities.

    Although experience is so important— particularly in the wedding industry— I do believe that what matters most in this aspect is creativity and critical thinking. The ability to adapt to changing circumstances and to work with them is absolutely paramount. My personal and professional experience in the wedding industry is ever changing and growing, but one thing remains the same: I thrive in challenging situations and new environments.

  • Design, aesthetic, and wedding trends happen to be three of my favorite things! I would be more than happy to sit down with you and to help you build your own custom design boards, with details from florals and tablescapes to bridal design and your signature look.

Miranda is personally accessible to her clients via text, email, or phone call. Reach out any time if you have lingering questions or are ready to book! You may also click the button below to contact her and her team.
