tamea burd photography: testimonials

"I viewed many photographers websites before I chose Tamea for my headshots.
What I found appealing, is her photos are beautiful, down-to-earth, yet professional.
After speaking with her, it was clear that she knows how to bring out the best in anyone.
And you don't have to have super-model looks to look great in her pictures...

Some photographers can be really intimidating, but she's warm and friendly.
She made me feel so comfortable at our shoot and I was very happy with her rates.
I LOVE my pictures and so does everyone that sees them. I cannot thank her enough!"

"Tamea, we love our wedding photos! Wow, they look amazing!
Of course it helps to have such good looking people getting married... (Just kidding!)
Thanks again for a fabulous wedding photography experience.
Greg & Angie

"A talent agent recently contacted me and said that he sees hundreds of headshots a day,
but something about the quality of my headshot in particular, really stood out to him...
Pat yourself on the back, Tamea, because as a photographer, your photos and
your wonderful way with people, really do capture something special!

Not only did my headshotss turn out great but we had alot of fun!
I received many compliments from radio and TV people about my photographs,
which ranged from inside to outside, serious to hilarious and a few in between!!
I gladly recommend Tamea as a headshot photographer and I hope to hire her again."

"Tamea has a great eye for those special, hard to capture moments.
She brings honesty and dedication to her photography.
I can always trust that she'll create a great body of work for my Vancouver event clients.
Shes's a photographer who has heart and hard work poured into each and every image."
Sarah Morgan - Event & Wedding Planner www.sarahmorganevents.com

"Tamea's attention to her subjects is what we found most appealling when choosing
our wedding photographer. It's obvious that she's aware of how to put people at ease
(adults or children) and she instinctively knows how to capture something in moments
when personalities and emotions are really shining through.

Our wedding photographs are unique and personal.
Nothing like those cardboard cutout, flat scenes you often see in wedding pictures.
Tamea's selection of angles and moments, captured people at their most interesting and
genuine, which was something we really loved. Even her more traditional shots avoid
the stiff, uncomfortable posing that can happen with many wedding photographers.

Her post-processing of our wedding photographs was excellent too,
with some artistic and professional choices that made things pop out beautifully.

We recommend Tamea very highly for any occasion!"
Amber & Tony
