We were so lucky to have Tammy photograph our wedding. She is super professional, easy to work with, and her creativity and eye for beauty made our pictures come out better than we could've dreamed. She is a great planner, and asked for key things like a family photo shot list and names to streamline the family photo process, to be extra prepared for the day. She and her second shooter were punctual and prepared, and it felt like they were all over the place, finding the perfect shot amongst the chaos of the wedding. Tammy also uses online tools that make viewing and sharing pictures really easy - something we didn't think about, but that we're grateful for. Overall, Tammy was awesome - highly recommended! read more

Tammy was a dream come true of a photographer. Not only are the photos she took incredible - they are truly beautiful and captured intimate moments and all of our wedding day emotion so well - but she was incredibly easygoing, easy to work with, fun to be around, and so helpful in our brainstorming for our wedding day flow and photo opportunities! Daniel and I both highly highly recommend Tammy, she's the best! read more

We quite literally can't say enough good things about Tammy! She shot our wedding at the Outdoor Art Club this summer. Photos were a top priority for my spouse and I, and once we found Tammy's website her style spoke to both of us. We felt lucky she was available and only a bit above our price range (worth the splurge!!). She was very responsive and it was easy to select a package that was the best fit. She is such an energetic, happy human being - neither of us are very used to having our photo taken and she knows what to say to help you relax and enjoy the moment. Her focus is documentary-style and letting the day unfold, and we appreciated that posing was kept to a minimum (but she was helpful in providing ideas when we needed them). We were also happy we decided to do an engagement session so we could meet in person before the big day, and now we have such lovely photos to enjoy for years to come. read more

Tammy Horton was a dream to work with for our wedding during the pandemic! We had an intimate party in Alamo, CA and a week prior to that, we had our first look photo session in Grass Valley, CA. I would totally recommend her! Tammy was very accommodating and exceptional at making these two dates work for us. Planning a wedding during a pandemic was not easy, but we are truly grateful for how attentive and communicative she was. We found Tammy through The Knot, and we just really liked her style and vision. After having chatted over the phone we loved how easy it was to speak to Tammy. She understood what we were looking for. We wanted a photographer who could capture the moments without having to pose in all of the shots. That's definitely what caught our eyes from seeing some of her previous work. We were afraid of having our photos look and feel stiff, boring, or uncomfortable. Tammy did everything she could to coach us making us feel so comfortable with just being ourselves. Tammy was also very responsive with all questions and concerns we had. Our wedding was postponed twice. She responded promptly and rescheduled like a true professional. She listened, she cared and she was so flexible as we were forced to change our plans multiple times. I'm so glad we did the first look photo session before the wedding day. It was so useful to get a feel of what we wanted the photos to look like. We had the most beautiful and unrushed photos. Tammy is a joy to work with. If you value photography and are looking for someone easy to work with, Tammy is the best- look no further! We will treasure these photos forever. Thank you, Tammy Horton Photography! read more

Booking Tammy as our wedding photographer was the best decision ever! She had shot the wedding of a family friend, and after seeing the beautiful photos of them and chatting with Tammy over Zoom, we knew she was the right choice. She's charming, low-key, chill, and always genuinely interested in understanding what we wanted the day to look like. Plus, the engagement session was included in our package, so we were able to get comfortable with her in advance. We had a fabulous time romping around the Marin Headlands, getting silly in the waves at sunset, and ended up with amazing photos to tide us through the next year of pandemic while our wedding was postponed. (BTW Tammy was flexible and helpful when we had to move our date!) And then the actual day-of... WOW! She stayed poised and calm through the somewhat hectic lead-up to the ceremony, expertly wrangled our families, and made sure to get all the shots we asked for - and more, of course! She captured the spirit of the day without ever making us feel like we were posing or pulled out of the moment. (P.S. her second shooter Jenna was great as well!) Tammy sent us a sneak-peek gallery just days later, along with a bonus short video with tiny snippets of the day that she took along the way! Then we headed on our honeymoon... and returned home to the rest of the photos! She has an incredible eye for composition, lighting, and for people - she caught adorable moments of our loved ones, while also creating some very romantic couple shots for us to treasure forever. Book Tammy - you won't regret it! It felt like having a friend at the wedding... who also happens to be an amazing photographer. read more

Tammy is beyond-words amazing! We are so incredibly grateful we chose her to capture our wedding day. She made us feel comfortable from the very first call we had with her because she's genuinely kind and has exactly the personality you want to share your special day with. She's an absolute professional--she asked questions that helped us think through what shots we wanted on the day, she worked seamlessly with our other vendors, and she captured a mix of posed and candid photos. We received our highlights the day after our wedding and a full gallery exactly as promised. The photos are astounding and we are so so so happy with how they turned out. They have depth, color, and so much emotion. We'll be admiring these forever and ever. read more

I had talked about getting a photo session done for our family for more than a year! I had no idea where to start, and no clue as to who I trusted to take these pictures of my dreams. I read Tammy's reviews and decided to give her a call. She was very easy to talk to and gave me great location options and helpful tips for the kids. While taking our photos, she continued to give us great guidance and made our family feel comfortable, making us all laugh and feel at ease. Our family had a wonderful time, the best part is, we didn't feel like we were taking pictures for 2 hours! I definitely recommend Tammy to anyone who is looking for beautiful natural shots and will for sure be using her to take some more photos in our future!! Thank you Tammy! read more

I feel so lucky to have found Tammy. Her photographs skills, well... the photos say it all, they are SENSATIONAL, so instead I want to share how lucky we were that such a stupendously talented photographer is also a total sweetheart and a dream to work with. We were in a bit of a bind when we decided to plan a bay area wedding in 3 months- didn't realize it would be nearly impossible to find local photographer in such short order. We were fortunate enough that Nikki Richter pointed us in Tammy's direction. We were concerned that she was based in LA, but she made it happen. From the first phone call, I knew we had found our photographer- she was so sweet and understanding! She was really quick to respond to phone calls and emails, even helping us to finalize our ceremony site via photos sent through text! She helped us to proof our timeline to make sure it was realistic. My husband and I are both a bit photo shy, but Tammy made us both feel so comfortable! We looked like ourselves rather than the startled deer we looked like in our engagement photos with another photographer... he was perfectly skilled, but we just didn't gel and unfortunately it totally showed. We could not have been any happier with our wedding photos! She not only captured our dream wedding in gorgeous sun drenched photos, but she ensured it would happen by making our wedding plans photo ready. I I only wish she was closer! :) read more

Having Tammy capture our big day was one of the best decisions we made during the wedding planning process! From the first FaceTime call meeting her, she was a joy to work with and she made it so easy to be comfortable in front of the camera (not normally the case for us!). Our engagement shoot was so fun, our cheeks hurt from laughing so hard. She also worked with us to make a personalized wedding package to include a couple hours photographing our rehearsal dinner. We could not be happier with how all the photos turned out and on top of it all, she really just made us feel at ease and have fun! Thank you so much Tammy for helping make our big day perfect and what a treasure to have these incredible photos to remember it all with. read more

I can't recommend Tammy enough! She has an incredible eye for those candid, fun and energetic pictures that capture the spirit of your wedding day plus all those classic pics you want for your grandparents. Book Tammy :) read more

My husband is really awkward in front of a camera (okay it's really me) so we wanted to find a photographer who we felt comfortable being around. We set up a meeting with Tammy and instantly fell in love with her. She is so warm, charming, and friendly. Tammy is such a positive beam of light. Her photos are amazing and she was able to capture really special moments. We were able to receive our engagement photos two weeks after taking them, and she even sent us quite a few highlights a few days after our wedding. I think we are so fortunate to have stumbled upon Tammy. read more

Tammy Photographed our wedding in July, 2019. Not only did she capture our wedding day beautifully, but she helped with details along the way. My husband and I had a tight timeline with our venue, and Tammy helped make the most of the time by giving me scheduling advice and walking me through the process. She made the most out of our time, and was not only efficient throughout the day but made the process of taking photos a fun and memorable part of our wedding. I would highly recommend Tammy Horton Photography and can't stop bragging about how gorgeous our photos turned out! read more

Tammy is awesome! She's got excellent people skills and most importantly- her photos are on point. We really got some classic, timeless pieces thanks to her. All my friends at the wedding actually enjoyed being photographed and Tammy is totally charming. Not to mention she was the most affordable wedding photographer I found and quick over email. I feel lucky that I met her at another friend's wedding and poached her for myself! Highly recommended!! read more

Tammy shot our wedding and she was amazing to work with. We spoke on the phone and via email for many months leading up to the wedding and it was great to work with her and figure out how to plan our day to accommodate our tight timeline for photos. Not to mention how supportive she was as our wedding venue changed a few times along the way. As soon as she arrived on the morning of the the wedding it was like we had been friends forever. She just brought a wonderful energy with her, she just added to our special day. She did an amazing job of capturing the moment and all of the family photos we had hoped for. We are so thankful that we chose Tammy for our wedding. read more

Tammy Horton is an amazing photographer and artist. She came highly recommended to us from a friend. She is capturing the life of our little boy and we couldn't ask for anyone better. I recommend her to everyone I know and meet. I only wish I knew her before I got married. Trust me, you want a good photographer for your wedding. I was unbelievably disappointed with the person I went with. Now we have had Tammy capture my pregnancy, baby shower and every 3 months of our little boys life thus far. He is now 9 months and we can't wait to schedule our next shoot. She has also taken pictures for several of our friends and they are all just as happy too. read more

Tammy Horton is a wonderfully talented photographer and she is so good with people! My husband does not LOVE being in front of the camera but we needed engagement photos for our wedding invitation. I myself was looking forward to having them done but was still a bit nervous about how we would do on the shoot. Tammy made things so easy and natural; she's also very funny. We were able to relax and just have fun. I would recommend her to anyone and we were so pleased with all the photographs - both the engagement and wedding pics. I would also recommend her for any kind of portraiture. She's wonderful! read more

Tammy was absolutely a dream to work with for our wedding this past August - she was so easy to work with from start, put us at ease with being in front of the camera with her warm and friendly personality, and our engagement and wedding photos were absolutely gorgeous!! I can't recommend her enough!! read more

Tammy shot my wedding. My cousin is a professional photographer, but she was my maid of honor, so she chose Tammy to shoot my wedding. My cousin knew she was the best in So Cal. Tammy had this amazing ability to keep us calm and laughing even though we were nervous. My husband hates having pictures taken of himself, but Tammy made it fun and he barely rolled his eyes :-). She caught the best pictures of him he's ever taken. I am sincere in saying that Tammy truly added to making our wedding day the best day of our lives. read more

Tammy exemplifies the perfect blend of being professional and personable. She was quick to respond to e-mail, went out of her way to accommodate our limited availability, drove out to locations without hesitation, all while making the entire process fun and relaxing. She's just as much an artist as she is a photographer and my wife and I couldn't be happier with the way things turned out. read more

Tammy is an artist! My husband and I have had the privilege of working with Tammy several times as she photographs our daughter. To date, we've hired her 5 times and have treasured the resulting images! She's great about just fitting into your normal day, capturing sweet, unplanned moments. Now that our daughter is walking, snapping good shots can be difficult. Not for Tammy! She'll chase, tickle, and entertain until she gets the desired result. So great with children! Prices are reasonable, moments captured are priceless! Tammy is great at suggesting venues that will photograph well and she's always eager to try and capture specific shots we have in mind. We will definitely be calling her again in the future. read more

Tammy and second shooter Leah, did an AMAZING job with my wedding!!! I was originally booked with a different photographer, who we had to let go after doing an engagement session and being completely dissatisfied. Tammy was recommended by a friend and she came in and saved the day. She helped plan our day and new had such a great style of shooting and the results. Every single person in our wedding commented about how she was everywhere, she captured every single amazing shot and moment that happened that day. When I got the pictures back, it was like reliving the day completely. My photos are absolutely brilliant, I am thrilled with what she did. I could not recommend someone, ANYONE, FOR ANYTHING, more than I can recommend Tammy as your photographer. No matter where i am in life, I plan on asking Tammy to shoot the special moments. Already planning a family session with her! If it were up to me, she would just follow me around, and with such a sparkling personality to go with her talent, that would actually be fun! read more

Tammy has been documenting our special milestones for 4+ years now. From weddings to birthday parties, baby and family photo sessions, she handles it all with skill, ease and professionalism. First and foremost, Tammy is calm, warm, and can instantly put everyone at ease in front of the camera. She also gives great direction without being too posed or formal to create pictures that are flattering, but also have a more natural feel. The resulting images are beautiful, artistic, and tell a rich story. She always gives us a carefully curated selection of color and black-and-white images--so many great shots that we have a hard time selecting the best ones! We have used her photographs in printed photo books, huge canvas prints, photo cards, in frames, etc. Whatever the medium, they always exceed our high expectations. Tammy has a true gift for capturing the special moments, and an eye for creating beautiful, lasting photographs for your family to treasure for a lifetime. She is professional, easy to work with, and a downright good person. I am so glad we met Tammy to photograph my wedding, and truly feel thankful every time my husband and I hire her to capture an event or milestone. Her services are a tremendous value, and I give her my highest recommendation. read more

I wasn't really sure even where to start when looking for a wedding photographer having had never done it before. But a friend of mine had used Tammy before for some family portraits and recommended her to me. I'm so glad she did! I looked at her portfolio online and loved what I saw. We set up a meeting and right away I knew Tammy would be a great fit for our wedding day. She was very professional, answered all of our questions and even walked us through the timeline for our day. We really needed that kind of help both of us having never been married before and not knowing what to expect. Our wedding day was flawless, all of our plans went off without a hitch and Tammy was there to capture it all. We told Tammy that candids and pictures of our guests were most important to us and she delivered. I loved getting the pictures back and seeing so many of my family and friends having a great time just how I had envisioned in the planning. There were so many pictures of things that I didn't even know happened during the reception. It seemed as though Tammy was everywhere at once. I can't thank her enough for helping us through the day and documenting our wedding beyond anything we could have imagined. read more

Tammy was recommended by a friend and we had her photograph our small civil marriage ceremony at Alameda City Hall and our big party for family and friends a couple of months later in San Francisco. She was easy to work with, professional and she captured the joy we and our guests felt at both events. She took photos during our ceremony and then she spent about an hour taking photos of our immediate family and my husband and me around City Hall. We gave her a list of the group photos we wanted to make sure we captured and she got some great candid moments from the day as well. At the party she captured the event space beautifully and managed to get at least one photo of each of our guests. About two weeks after each event she sent us a link to a gallery which was easy to download or buy prints from. Her rates are reasonable and we couldn't be happier with the photos she provided of both of our special days. read more

love, love, love Tammy's photos. She was actually in my wedding, so I could not have her take my wedding photos. However, she has done portraits for me over the years that make me feel so lucky to have someone in my life with an amazing aptitude for capturing those perfect moments. read more

Tammy's photography is so amazing and we cannot thank her enough for capturing all of our joy with our baby. We are so happy to have found her. She started taking our family photos when our daughter was 3 months old. We took pics every 3-4 months and now that our daughter is 2 years old we are hoping to continue to take pics every six months. Tammy has this serene and sweet nature to her and our daughter is so at ease with her. There are times when I am discouraged during the photo session because the baby gets fussy but Tammy is extremely patient and easy going and keeps trying her best to calm our baby and make her smile so that we could keep going with the photo session. She is always able to get the shots of Cali smiling. I tell all of my clients that there are times when the window of our daughter smiling is so small but yet Tammy somehow does her magic and captures it and when I look at the photos I forget that our daughter was ever fussy. For those with infant and young children you know that It's so hard to get the timing right foe when the baby would be the happiest because they get fussy when they are hungry, are tired or need to take a nap. But not to worry Tammy is well aware of this and is so patient when working with us and that makes me feel at ease! I just cannot give you enough examples of how wonderful and easy she makes this experience for us. We love the blogs that she has online as well. And she always edits the photos and gets them right back to us in a week or week and half. She's so good, so professional and you'll love her! read more

Tammy is a rockstar of photography. She shot our engagement session, wedding and a couple of family shoots over the last 7 years. We feel so fortunate to have her document the most important moments of our lives. Her photos are such a natural and candid reflection of what's happening in the moment. She's got a wonderful ease about her, which creates a very warm and fun photoshoot session. We absolutely adore Tammy and look forward to having her shoot our big moments for years to come! read more

Tammy Horton is an extremely talented photographer. Her ability to capture beautiful, real life moments is like no others. Tammy has taken pregnancy photos for me as well as photos of my son throughout the years. She has such a gift at capturing his personality perfectly. I have recommended Tammy to several people for weddings, family photos, newborn photos and product shoots, I would do it again and again. Everyone I have recommended her to, couldn't be happier with Tammy's work. Tammy is professional, prompt, great with children and of course has an amazing eye. Such an amazing package for a professional photographer to have! read more

Tammy Horton is AMAZING!! She was the photographer for my wedding. My husband and I decided to have a very last minute Napa Valley wedding and it was Tammy to the rescue! We had an elopement and planned our wedding 2 WEEKS prior to our wedding date, which was stressful enough as it is, but from the beginning, I knew Tammy was the right fit. I reached out to so many photographers within the week and a half prior to the wedding, and although I had many people respond Tammy was one of the few that actually reached out to me by email, then picked up the phone to call me and asked me what my needs were. She had a personalized approach from the start and was open to customizing her Photography package to my needs despite the fact that we were on a tight budget and under very tight timelines. She even drove to Napa the day before to scope out the locations to shoot, no other photographer offered anything like this (this is going above and beyond)!! On the day of our wedding, Tammy made our day so special. She was great at directing our shots and taking some great candid shots as well. Our wedding was really intimate, there was only 6 of us, and we loved hanging out with her, I can say that at the end she is someone you want to keep in touch with. Without a doubt, I will use Tammy again, and I will definitely refer her to anyone else. Thanks again Tammy! read more
