documenting life's adventures & the moments in between
 

Hey, I’m Taryn!

I’m a Fraser Valley photographer who specializes in weddings, couples and families!

I'm a person who loves photography and anything creative. I find inspiration all around me - music, my kids, nature, film, books, architecture.. pretty much anything!

I want to take photos that transport you back to that moment. That remind you of the butterflies in your stomach the morning of your wedding day, or when your person made you laugh so hard you almost peed your pants. I'm here for all of the moments, big ones like saying "I DO" but also the smaller moments in between. The quiet grasp of the hand, the warm embrace, the goofy look to the camera - I love it all.

Where to begin?? I would say, PRESS SEND OR CONTACT TARYN ASAP!! You will not regret it!! She is hilarious, thoughtful, easy to get along with, and her heart is amazing. She was patient and understood what I was going through (personally) during our wedding planning. SOOO HAPPY!! Our wedding day was perfect!!! Our car rental was a bust BUT Taryn is so sweet that she did not even hesitate at all, she came back around to pick us up! We are not a photogenic couple but our wedding day photos 👌 👌 👌 👌 She’s magical!!!

“Taryn is incredible! She keeps photo sessions fun and, relaxed. She is encouraging, kind, and sets me at ease even though I'm usually very camera shy. Her photos are always stunning. She always seems to capture the moment and the emotions perfectly. She is the queen of light, and texture, and finding the beauty in candid moments. You won't regret hiring her ❤️”

I’ve used Taryn for photography on four separate occasions. Couples photos, engagement photos, family photos, and elopement photos. I love her style, she makes me feel super relaxed and natural and makes me laugh. The lighting is always gorgeous no matter what the weather. I constantly get compliments on the photos I post and print. She’s my go-to and always will me 🙌

Taryn is super talented and easy to work with. I was anxious thinking about the whole engagement/wedding photo shoot process, and she made the experience run super smoothly and answered any questions I had leading up to it. Overall, my camera-shy husband and I really enjoyed the photo shoots and we ended up with beautiful photos! Taryn really made an effort to capture our personalities in each shot, which is something I’m really grateful for.

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️(⭐️) 6 stars for this girl!!
Taryn was SO wonderful to work with, she is so genuine, kind and has a laugh that is so contagious!


I can really tell that she loves what she does, and has a GREAT talent for it too. You better book this girl before she becomes one of the best wedding photographers in town and impossible to book. Seriously though, PLAN your wedding date AROUND her AVAILABILITY because her talent, kindness and genuine love shines through what she does and the work she puts out!!!

Thanks girl for capturing our day 😘 . She captured our silliness., including me doing a first look in a. T- Rex costume. I HIGHLY recommend this girl. she is going places. I SWOON every time I look at my wedding photos.

Thank you to the always lovely Taryn Stare, for making me feel beautiful and capturing this stunning day.”
