Tiffany is not only a FANTASTIC newborn and family photographer, but she is also an INCREDIBLE…read morewedding and engagement photographer... My obsession with Tiffany started when she captured our engagement photos in Moss Beach.  I had a specific picture I had envisioned and obsessed about, and like a bad client I didn't tell Tiffany.  When I got back my pictures, there it was!  I knew from that day on I would never use another photographer. When it came to us picking a photographer for our destination wedding in Palm Springs, I felt a gravitational pull towards Tiffany, and she didn't disappoint.  She made the booking portion very simple and easy.  I sent her a list of shots we wanted and she pretty much captured everything I could even think of, and more.  She leaned into our moody "old Hollywood" look.  She worked our 200+ wedding like she'd been doing it for decades.  She works with light like a master artist.  What comes out at the end will absolutely blow your mind.  And on top of it all, she's a lot of fun to work with and makes you feel so comfortable.  I honestly wanted her to stay the entire wedding as a guest because I felt so close to her after our journey together. .... And thank God she has a sense of humor because when I wanted to do a funny gender reveal, newborn shoot for our new puppy, Frankie, she was all in!! She was even able to swaddle our 9 week only puppy! My husband actually said, when we were looking to book a photographer for our wedding, that he only wanted to work with Tiffany.  That's when I knew she would be apart of our lives forever.  I'm pretty sure 99.9% of the pictures framed in our house are all taken by Tiffany.  Tiffany captures the stuff that dreams are made of.  Thank you Tiffany for being apart of our big moments and giving us the greatest gifts, our memories live and in living color (or moody and in black and white when the occasion arises).

On the day of, I was nervous if things were going to fall into place, but Annie, our photographer, shared her location with me and arrived early in just the spot I wanted. She was also wonderful to work with--her photography and editing skills are great and even though we never really posed for photos before, she made it easy for us. She even had the presence of mind to turn us away from family members who were coming from behind to surprise us. We received a few photos the night of the proposal to share with friends and then the rest of the photos after a quick turnaround. We were very happy with how they turned out and appreciative of Annie's great work!

They were the first vendor we booked after securing our venue, so we got to know them over the course of the year leading up to our wedding in August 2025. After coming across their photos when researching different potential photographers that had experience at our venue, we were very interested in meeting them. We had an initial video call with them and knew immediately that we wanted to book them for such a critical part of our wedding journey. There aren't enough words to describe how skilled and professional they are--they are amazing photographers (individually and as a duo) and clearly love what they do. Our proposal photoshoot was the only prior experience we had in terms of taking professional photos as a couple. We met them in person for the first time at our engagement photoshoot--they immediately made us feel comfortable and were seriously thoughtful about the entire process, whether it was the location choices, minute-by-minute weather changes/forecast, outfit changes, etc. It really feels like they plan for everything and care about the little details. When we asked them about another vendor they would potentially work with on the day of our wedding, they even referenced notes they made when they had worked with them for a prior wedding. Throughout the whole process, they were prompt communicators (frequently responding to an email within minutes!) and guided us with experience and patience that we really appreciated. Whenever we had something to discuss with them (including choices we needed to make as a couple), they never hesitated to give us suggestions and feedback. Even if they offered an alternative suggestion to an idea of ours, it always felt like they genuinely cared and they wanted what we wanted, and it never felt like criticism. We received our wedding photos just about 2 months after our wedding, and we love every single one of them (all 667)! They are truly the best photographers to work with and just lovely people to be around. We definitely plan to keep in touch with them for future photoshoots! :) TL;DR: You should have booked A Tale Ahead Photography yesterday!!

My heart feels nothing but happiness and gratitude when I think of how blessed…read moremy husband and I are to have had the experience of working with her as our photographer for our engagement and wedding photos. Not only is she professional, responsive and brilliantly talented, she is kind, sweet, accommodating and easy to talk to and work with. Emily was referred to us by another photographer (who had happened to be booked for our wedding date) and I am so grateful she did. Upon first meeting with Emily, you notice she really tries to get to know her potential client and also lets you know a little about herself, and you realize she really loves what she does and it shows. In addition to our wedding photos, we decided to do an engagement session with her as well. Our engagement photos turned out more beautiful than we could have asked for. She just put us at such ease, and her photos come out so natural, romantic, and real- all without being forced or contrived. She truly captures what your heart's story is, whatever it may be. We cannot wait to see our wedding photos, and we're confident they'll be amazing. She is truly truly a gem, as good as it gets and I would recommend her to anyone (and will probably ask her to photograph us again!).

I was so taken by the photos that I actually shared them on my blog (http://holidayhelpings.com/sweet-poppy-studios-photography/). After her photos I started following the Sweet Poppy Studios blog where you can see spectacular photos from different photo shoots. I then shared her work in another blog post (http://holidayhelpings.com/black-and-white-family-photos/). I was so impressed by her photography that I decided I wanted her to take photos of me for my blog. I have had professional photos taken before for Christmas cards and what not but had never had a photo shoot by myself. I was really nervous that the photos wouldn't capture me looking natural but they turned out wonderfully. I met up with Carleigh the day of the shoot and told her about the blog, my audience, and the look I was going for. She managed to capture exactly what I had described. She arranged my decorations/props in a way that looked natural and real. She made me feel comfortable and genuinely happy. I was so excited to see the final images and was overjoyed with the final product. Carleigh really has an eye for capturing light and personality. I was thrilled! My family was so impressed with the photos that we decided to work with Carleigh again for our Christmas card photos. She did a great job capturing our family looking happy and relaxed. We had a great time shooting with her and loved our Christmas card photos. I could continue writing a raving review about Sweet Poppy Studios and how much I love Carleigh and the photos she takes... but I think you get the idea!
