Hi, I'm Tina, the person you'll actually be spending your wedding day with, not just the name on a contract. I started The Velvet Frame because I wanted wedding photography to feel like art you'd hang on a wall, not just proof the day happened. Everything below is the "why" behind that.
I treat every wedding like an editorial story, not a checklist. That means before I ever pick up a camera, I'm already thinking about the light, the composition, and how your whole gallery will feel together, not just how any single photo turns out. That's what "fine art" means to me: real care behind every frame, not a filter applied after the fact.
But honestly, the part of this job I love most is the part almost no one talks about: most couples, even the ones who look effortless in photos, feel a little awkward being photographed on the biggest day of their lives. I don't try to work around that. I work with it. I'll give you something to do with your hands, direct you gently instead of calling out poses, and tell you when you can just be with each other.
At the end of the day, my goal is simple: I want you to feel completely comfortable with me, and I want you to actually have fun on your wedding day. The best photos always seem to happen right after that.
