Your Intimate Wedding & Elopement Photographer
Meet Your Photographer
Hey! I’m Tiarrah.
I’m Tiarrah, a wedding and elopement photographer based in Michigan and traveling wherever your story takes you. I’m a Marine veteran, shaped by discipline, focus, and the ability to stay grounded under pressure.I photograph moments as they naturally unfold, while paying close attention to timing, light, composition, and detail. I care deeply about capturing real emotion and photographing each moment with intention, so nothing meaningful is missed.I’m always observing, reading the energy in the room, and knowing when to step in and when to step back. That balance allows your day to feel effortless while every fleeting detail is captured beautifully.Guidance When Needed. Space When It Matters.
Most people think calm wedding days just happen.They don’t.They’re built through preparation, awareness, and someone who knows when to lead and when to disappear.I don’t photograph weddings by chasing chaos or forcing moments. I move deliberately, pay attention to what’s unfolding, and anticipate what’s coming next. That’s how I protect space for real emotion while making sure nothing important is missed.You don’t need to perform for the camera or worry about what to do with your hands. I’ll guide you when it matters and step back when the moment deserves to be untouched.The result is images that feel effortless, emotional, and honest, while every fleeting detail is captured with care.The SovaPortrait Wedding Experience
I PAY ATTENTION.
To Timing.
To Energy.
To The Moments People Miss.
Meet the Family.
To some people, family might mean having a huge happy people family! But to me, relaxing at home with my two kitties is purrrrrre happiness!

Born September 26th, 2021, Leo is an exotic shorthair cat. Originally I had his sister Athena, but she passed after 6 short beautiful days. She was very young, but I was blessed with the spirit of her brother to drive me crazy on a daily! We literally travel all over the country together. He has flown and slept in the car at times! Literally the chillest cat ever.

Ally was born October of 2014! She is a domestic shorthair cat. Ally was the runt of the litter, but that didn’t stop her from being the most energetic and cuddly cat of the bunch! I knew she belonged to me. She and I lived with my parents until I left for the USMC. I left her for 4 years so coming back wasn’t completely the same ); I left her at home when I moved out originally because she loves the outdoors! But once my Athena died, I took home Ally for the companionship. She did well at my apartment. I had her for a month and a half until her younger brother Leo came along! She wasn’t sure about him at first, I mean he’s a boy, what do you expect! But once she figured out she could mess with him unlike her dog brother at home, she loved him! Life is good with my two kitties!
I call Michigan home, but my camera is always packed. I travel often for weddings and elopements, and I’m lucky enough to follow love into some really unreal places. I don’t believe your wedding has to fit inside a box, or a zip code.
So far, that’s meant photographing weddings and love stories across the U.S. and beyond, including Hawaii, Costa Rica, California, Oregon, Washington, Colorado, Zion National Park, the Smoky Mountains, Ohio, Indiana, and Chicago, with Banff officially on my “can’t stop thinking about it” list.
If you’re dreaming of getting married somewhere that feels like you, I’m always up for the adventure.
