tia gavin testimonials

Periodically Pictage in association with Wedding Channel sends questionnaires to event owners asking them whether or not they would recommend their photographer. Below is a sampling of the responses from my previous clients.




"Tia Gavin is an extraordinary photographer. We cannot recommend her highly enough. Not only were our pictures breathtaking, but our time with her was wonderful. Tia made us feel, from the first moment, that the day was made for us. She made its seem as if it was the BEST wedding she had ever been to......even though she shoots hundreds of them. She has a way of making you feel so special, and yet our guests barely noticed her presence. We wanted great candid shots, and did not want to feel like the photographer was dictating the day. She just seemed to capture all the special moments and emotions with perfection and grace. The only thing I would change is I wish she could've been a GUEST at our wedding, because we just adore her spirit and had so much fun with her !"

"Tia Gavin is a godsend. From the very beginning, before we met in person, I knew we were going to love her. She was professional yet friendly, kind yet assertive...she was the reason our wedding transitioned from beginning to end as smoothly as it did. Not only did she take beautiful photo-journalistic pictures, but she seemed to be everywhere, to capture all the right moments in time. In a bride's world of chaos, Tia was so refreshing. Thank you, Tia, you've found your niche. Love, Jackie and Arosh"

"Tia was an amazing person to work with. She was extremely professional and at the same time very easy going. Her work quality speaks for itself. At my most frantic moment, about 15 minutes before the ceremony, Tia put her head into our room to tell me how wonderful everything looked and how sweet and handsome my fiance was. It made me relax and feel great, an extra personal moment I would not have had with another photographer. I would highly recommend Tia to anyone who wants beautiful, spontaneous and memorable wedding photos."

Hannah and Claud, August 2005

"In addition to Tia's photographic expertise, we chose her as our wedding photographer because she was someone who would not only artistically capture our most sentimental moments, but also someone who would add to the feeling of care and closeness we so highly valued, rather than a stranger intruding on our special day. Tia's photos are incredible and her ability to capture the emotions of our wedding (both the tender and ecstatic) is amazing. Further, Tia is a wonderful person who I was glad was with me to share our wedding day. I highly recommend Tia to any bride looking for expressively beautiful pictures."

Cassady and Andrew, June 2005

"Tia Gavin was wonderful. She was a pleasure to work throughout the entire process. Her work is clearly "magazine worthy" – beautiful, beautiful photographs... and her day of skills were absolute perfection. Mike and I not only loved Tia - but so did our bridal party, friends, and family. I highly recommend Tia Gavin!"

"I don't even know where to start. When all is said and done, when the last glass of champagne has been sipped, when the last guest has gone, what do you have left? Pictures. After our first meeting, I knew I wanted her. It's hard to explain, but when you meet those genuinely nice people who make you feel so comfortable, you can't let them go. I would periodically e-mail her just to chat and get her perspective on things and it was like e-mailing a friend. She let you vent (when some BM's don't want to hear it), she shared her personal life with us, and was just all around fantastic. On our wedding day, she took the most wonderful photographs without being obtrusive. It's amazing how she caught the emotions of our wedding. The portraits were great, but it was the moments like the look in my eyes when my father whispered "I love you" for the first time in fifteen years, it was the look on my husbands face when I read him my vows, everyone laughing and just having a great time. What an artist! I can just go on forever on how she made me feel and how fabulous her work is. If you get the opportunity to work with her--jump on it!!!"

"Finding a great photographer with talent, professionalism, and style was at the top of our list. So when we met Tia and saw samples of her work, we knew we had found the right person. Her approach is natural and non-obtrusive and the result was beyond our expectations. We were most impressed with the quality, substance, spontaneity, and genuine warmth she captured in her photos. Tia is a true professional. With talent, humor, and easy-going style, she stands head and shoulders above the rest."

"I highly recommend Tia Gavin as a wedding photographer!!! Her pictures were amazing...she captured every special moment of our big day and all without ever being noticed by anyone. Tia honored our requests and we ended up with just the right balance of photojournalism and portraiture to reflect our wedding. Additionally and importantly, Tia was such a calming influence to me which is something that I will always be grateful for. Finally, with Tia you get to keep all of your negatives which has been such a plus for making our own reproductions for friends and family All in all, Tia is an extremely gifted artist and professional. THANKS TIA!"

"Tia is a dream to work with! She's professional & personable, making everyone involved comfortable with the wedding photography. Completely unobtrusive, but somehow there to capture the moment when it counts. You truly feel that she cares as much for your wedding day as you do & that care reflects in her work."

Julia and Mark, October 2005

"Tia did an excellent job of capturing each moment of our wedding day from start to finish! We are very pleased with our pictures and especially impressed with how well she captured the details of the day and was able to get such great shots of all of our guests. She has a very warm and laid back personality and was easy to work with. We barely knew she was there throughout the day! We highly recommend Tia as a wedding photographer."

Joya and Bryan, October 2005

"Tia did an amazing job with our wedding. She was able to take photos which captured the excitement and beauty of the day without being obtrusive. She also got us our photos back quickly and already in an album which made life after the wedding so much easier. I would recommend her in a heartbeat to any bride."

Victoria and Peter, September 2005

"We certainly do not regret hiring Tia Gavin as our wedding day photographer. She is very sweet, kind, charismatic, and professional. We felt so comfortable around her and I think that shows in our pictures...we have real smiles and don't look posed at all. She listened to our opinions and had great advice. She gives you all your proofs (we had about 400), all your negatives, posts pics on the web for friends and family, and puts all the proofs in very nice albums for you. My husband and I can only speak positively about her and her photographs!"

"Tia was a wonderful person to work with from our first meeting till the end of our wedding day! She was personable and professional, which made her a wonderful part of our wedding. We love our beautiful photographs, because they truly captured our day and our guests. She could not have done a better job!"

"Tia is amazing - so warm and friendly. Her pictures were amazing - she caught such detail I couldn't believe it. And, she put up with my family's demands for specific pictures."

Jennifer and Preston, June 2004

"Tia is extremely talented, with an artistic and stylish eye. Very good at portraits as well. Most of all, she's fun to work with and puts people at ease. You'd be lucky to hire Tia!"

"We highly recommend Tia. She is so easy to work with. Most of all very professional. Our pictures are so beautiful. She tells a story with the photographs. She's like a stealth, she captures moments without you even noticing. True Photojournalistic Photographer."

Josie and Stephen, May 2005

"Tia was a joy to work with! She's professional and easy going and knows instinctively what shots to take. Her shots are fabulous, especially the candids which captured the true moments of our event."

"Tia is a joy to work with. She was my favorite wedding vendor. She is calm, enthusiastic, patient, has a great sense of humor and a passion for capturing the moment on film. She put my husband and step-kids at ease quickly, didn't get annoyed at my husband's nervous goofing around, and kept things on the ball without being bossy. We adore our photos and have gotten so many compliments, even from strangers!"

Jenny and Jim, October 2004

"Tia was so wonderful and very accomodating throughout our planning process and on our wedding day and I would highly recommend her. She was prompt and thorough as well. Our pictures turned out beautifully and since we had an all indoors wedding and reception I was a little nervous! I realized after my wedding that she did her job so well that I rarely noticed Tia throughout the whole event which I thinks speaks to her ability to get those precious shots you end up cherishing without feeling like you are being set up for a shot or having a photographer in your face all night. If you are looking for a very competent and artistically savvy photographer without spending the atrocious amounts of money that some charge- this is your gal! I would be happy to speak with anyone with regards to a referral about Tia."

"Tia Gavin takes fantastic pictures! We never noticed her during our wedding, she was transparent, yet somehow always at the center of the action. The pictures were taken from creative angles and were always compositionally interesting. She even took pics of things we would not have had the foresight to, and managed to actually photograph not just the people but the entire mood of the evening. Our album came to us cleverly and artistically arranged, and everyone we show it to comments on how great the shots are. We could not recommend her more highly."

Bruce & Bri, October 2004

"Tia is an amazingly talented photographer and really is passionate about capturing people's wedding memories. She was a pleasure to work with, and I could tell that she really cared about doing a great job for us."

"Tia Gavin was everything and more that we could have ever asked for as our wedding photographer, both personally and professionally. We would recommend her to anyone we know who is getting married. Not only is she incredibly talented, but was relaxing and fun the day of our wedding. She's is amazing, everyone say's that our wedding photos are the most beautiful creative pictures they have ever seen. Tia Gavin is one of a kind, and the most talented photographer I have ever met......and I am a photographer! Thank you Tia!"

"Fabulous, Fabulous, Fabulous. 100% professional, yet not stiff and uptight. Worked with what we wanted and made it beautiful. Everyone we show our pictures to says they are the most beautiful wedding photos they have ever seen."

"Tia was very professional and easy to work with from our first meeting to our engagement photo session to our wedding day. She made us feel very comfortable as well as working very well with our entourage and family. Through her pictures she tells a story from the begining of the day to the last dance and was able to capture all of the emotions that were felt on the most important day of our life. Both my husband and I are very pleased with her work. Thanks again Tia!"

Abigail and Waylon, September 2004

"I would highly recommend Tia Gavin Photography as a wedding photographer. Tia had a nice easy going manner that made her a pleasure to work with. She went above and beyond her call of duty on the day of our wedding when it unexpectedly started to rain heavily and we had planned an outdoor ceremony. She helped us to quickly choose an indoor location at the hotel and make the proper arrangements so that the setting would be perfect. Best of all, the pictures came out beautiful so we have a wonderful memory of the day."
