Tara Koenke Photography

It’s amazing the amount of work I’ve done over the years and the amount I’ve never shown to the world. I’ve always been the one to let my clients showcase it, but with only doing associate work now, it has me digging through my archives. we should do something fun again ❤️

It’s 2023 and I’m out here doing the one thing you aren’t suppose to do on instagram anymore… that’s posting one solo photo. Why? Well if you know me, you know I do what I want and never fall into the trends.

Jenna + Ryan’s wedding was my last for 2022 and it rang in my 65th wedding for the year.. yes 65 and that’s working for my brothers roofing business Monday-Friday. Half were my own bookings, half were with extremely talented people who I’m lucky to work alongside. I’ll list them at the end.

I love this image and it deserves its own post not because it’s beautiful, but it really showcases how much this location means to them. This is Ryan’s grandfathers working farm they fell in love at when they were kids. They use to come to the hay fields and watch the sun sets. I love my tight lenses like every photographer, but something like this deserved to showcase more than just the couple, but the whole story. This image really put into prospective how much I’ll always love and will continue to do environmental portraits.

Special thanks and shoutout to the talented peeps I got work with in 2022, with most I’m working with again this year. ❤️











Thanks for reading my once a year Tara talk ❤️🤣

Truly Timeless
I’ve been wanting to show this beauty for a bit now. I know I’m not known for being a “baby whisperer”, but maybe I’m a “puppy whisperer” instead. 🤔😂 either way I love it when couples incorporate their pets on their wedding day. As I’ve said before, I love the classics and this portrait will remain timeless through all the trends. ❤️
