“We got married at Cypress Point Country Club and Tashena was absolutely amazing. I’m so grateful she was able to do our wedding. My husband is very camera shy and she was still able to make him feel comfortable and get some AMAZING shots. The wedding process was very stressful for me, but working with Tashena was perhaps the LEAST stressful part of it. She was quick to contact us back whenever we had any questions and she was so friendly and customer service oriented. It was very cold during my wedding and she suffered through it outside with us and gave clear concise instructions and made the process go quickly and smoothly. I would highly recommend her for any events and absolutely loved working with her. I will definitely be using her services again!!”

“Tashena did a remarkable job from the time I reached out to her, several months in advance of the wedding, throughout the entire process up to post wedding updates. Communication and detail are very important to me, and since we live in Texas, and she lives in Virginia Beach, the entire planning was done long-distance. When I came to Virginia Beach in July 2015 to finalize things and visit venue, etc., it was just as important for her to meet me, as it was for me to meet her. I was impressed by her desire to really get to know the couple, and their personality prior to the wedding day. She was able to match her professionalism and style with our own. After I met and had coffee with Tashena, I really like her as a person, and felt that she genuinely cared about making our day special, and capturing all of the moments that we wanted. There’s a trust you feel with her, and that helped me relax from planning time, all the way up to our wedding. She was wonderful to work with on our wedding day with her easy going personality, flexibility, and willingness to be open to what we had in mind. As a bride, you sort of felt like she was there as one of your support resources! I would highly recommended Tashena for any couple planning to get married. Not only were her prices reasonable, the quality of her work was incredible. Our pictures are beautiful as she captured all of the special moments we desired, and more, so that exhibit so much emotion. Excellent photographer with great style and professionalism!”

“I would not be able to express in “words” all that Tashena & her husband, Michael, provided for my daughter’s wedding! Everything my daughter and future son-in-law wanted to have captured was taken care of. Thrilled when she agreed to fly out, ahead of the wedding day, to walk thru the outdoor environment and ceremony setting, to ensure she knew exactly what the Bride & Groom wanted. Her professionalism & expertise were so welcome! She captured everything the couple wanted for their photos & more! As Father of the Bride, you would be very hard pressed to find any better service than what Tashena Shaw Photography provided for us!!”

“Tashena is absolutely amazing. I could not have asked for a better photographer to capture my wedding day! She kept me calm, listened to my ideas (and used them/adjusted them to actually work!), didn’t mind being my “bull dog” and helping me tell people when to STOP, and just being there as a friend. Her quality of work is superb! Her eye for angles and lighting is incredible! You will not be disappointed in her!”

“Tashena has taken photos for us on previous occasions, so when it came time to select a wedding photographer, the choice was an easy one. I had the opportunity to watch her shoot another wedding, and was amazed that it seemed like she was everywhere. And the pictures came out beautifully. She is reliable and prompt, courteous and professional. She was very active and mobile, capturing candid and unexpected moments. Not just the usual “stand here, look this way” poses. Very creative with her composition of shots. I would highly recommend her services, and will use them again myself in the future.”

“I had the benefit of watching Tashena shoot her first wedding and when it was time to select a photographer for my wedding I knew where to go. We had to change our wedding date and Tashena worked with the change without issue. She goes above and beyond to capture the perfect shot. Tashena is professional, caring and compassionate. She has a true passion for capturing the perfect picture. I highly recommend her for your wedding and any photography needs you have.”

“I know looking for a GOOD wedding photographer can be stressful. They all charge too much and not always reliable/flexible with their customers, or don’t always provide the best quality. I highly recommend Tashena Shaw. She is very sweet and considerate person. She knows HOW important your wedding day is to you and she will make everything possible for it to be an easy and pleasant experience. She is very easy to work with, and does an excellent job with her editing tools — her pictures turn out fresh, bright and very high quality. They look natural (not overly retouched). You can check her out on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/TashenaShawPhotography. I personally recommend her because she always gives a better deal than other expensive photographers for the same service and quality. Good luck with everything!”

“Tashena was amazing! Every bride worries whether or not they have chosen the right photographer… I mean, this is documentation that will last forever. I was surprised, however, at her professionalism and the photographs delivered. She was outstanding! I believe that my husband and I were the first couple to hire her for a wedding, but the pictures were incredible! The entire day was so hectic, but Tashena remained calm and collected and was willing to listen to all of our specific requests and she was still able to photograph important events without “getting in the way”. I hardly noticed her, but she was able to capture the most significant moments. She also went out of her way to please both my husband and I, and I would recommend her to anyone needing a professional photographer for any occasion. She was kind, patient, and even felt like part of the family. When we all started getting stressed out, Tashena kept her cool and did her job perfectly. I am more than happy that she was the photographer for our wedding day, because she did such an awesome job.”
