It’s not just a day, it’s YOUR FOREVER DAY.
When it comes to finding a photographer for your nuptials, you have a lot of options in the Richmond, Charlottesville, VA & Washington, DC areas. But not all will share your vision and passion for your wedding day.
When you choose Tania del Carmen, enjoy peace of mind knowing you will have a photographer that is committed to crafting authentic, dynamic and bold images.
Every single image you receive is individually retouched and available for you to do whatever you want: print or share with friends and family. But I want you to have more than just digital files; I will make sure you have something real and beautiful at the end of your wedding journey. Every couple I have the honor to work with receives a custom designed, museum grade, Memory Book to have as an heirloom for future generations.

my wedding PHOTOGRAPHY PROCESS
I
LET’S MEET
Every engaged couple is unique. That’s why wedding photography shouldn't be cookie-cutter. My goal is to capture the essence of your big day in the most creative and compelling visual way possible. I want to provide you with a lasting legacy for your family.
My years of experience as an editorial and fine art photographer have shaped my wedding photography style. I appreciate authenticity, beauty and unexpected moments. I’m a creative collaborator who'll care for and guide you through the process frame by frame in an approachable yet professional way.
II
SAVE THE DATE
Are we a match made in heaven? Then it’s time to book!
Each couple I work with determines their photographic desires and needs for this once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Beautiful photographs are meant to be preserved in a way that honors them. That’s why ALL of my wedding collections include an heirloom-quality album. You may also customize your collection by adding fine-art-quality prints, parent albums, and elegantly framed wall art.
Once we have covered all your wants and dreams for wedding photography, I’ll send you a custom online booking proposal where you can review your collection details and pay your deposit. After that is taken care of, we’re official!
III
THE ENGAGEMENT SESSION
I strongly recommend scheduling an engagement photography session. It provides you with beautiful portraits for save-the-date announcements, and gives us a chance to get to know each other even better before your big day.
Engagement sessions are the perfect way to get all of those photo nerves out of the way. I'll guide both of you on how to look your best. After the session, you’ll feel more at ease, and some couples have so much fun, they forget I’m even there. That’s when I’m able to capture the most magical moments.
After the session, you’ll receive a private online gallery of images -- like these -- to download and share with friends and family, or to use for a save-the-date card, or other wedding announcements.
IV
PREPARING FOR THE WEDDING DAY
Eight weeks before the big day, I’ll start making sure that we’re completely prepared and ready for your wedding shoot! I'll help you create a custom timeline to ensure that you don’t miss out on your dream wedding photos and provide you with handheld guidance on what we'll need to capture the most gorgeous moments together.
A week before the wedding, we'll have a final run-through to confirm and tweak your photography-friendly wedding day!
V
YOUR WEDDING DAY
It’s time to have fun, relax and let me take care of you!
It’s important to capture the full story of your wedding day, which is why I strongly suggest to all my couples to book a minimum of 8 hours. It may sound like a lot, but trust me -- it goes quickly.
My goal is to take all the traditional shots that every couple needs, but also to capture the unexpected and unnoticed moments that make your wedding day unique. Soon after you exchange rings, you’ll receive a collection of preview photographs to share with everyone.
VI
FOR KEEPS: THE ALBUM & MORE
As soon as your images have been individually remastered, you’ll receive a beautifully designed online gallery and a custom slideshow. This way you’ll have the opportunity to relive all those beautiful moments.
After, we’ll begin the design and customization process of your wedding album, the unique collection of images that you’ve personally selected to be part of the shared memories.
