Every photo tells

your story

choosing moments that matter and turning them into

timeless photos

authentic and artful moments captured in time that you can cherish for a lifetime

The best photos come from expressions of love, and I’m here to make sure you can look back and experience that moment all over again.

ARIZONA BASED DESTINATION WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER

meet your photographer, Cha Taccad.

If you’re looking for a photographer who wants to be in the moment with you, wants to tell your story, and takes every photo intentionally, then I’m your girl!

I am an Arizona based photographer who’s willing to travel wherever your story takes me. My story made me move an entire ocean  away to be with the love of my life.  Believe me, I get it.

I will make sure you feel comfortable, and every moment gets captured… as long as there’s Diet Coke!

LOVE LETTERS

SHANNON
She has an incredible ability to make you feel comfortable, cared for, and confident in front of the camera. On our wedding day, Cha was incredibly patient, helpful, and professional. She stepped in and helped everything run smoothly. She assisted me in getting ready, from putting on my dress, earrings, and shoes to adding those little finishing touches like a spritz of perfume when she didn’t have to. She also helped calm my nerves before I walked down the aisle, which meant so much to me. Her attention to detail continued during the family photos and larger group shots. Even with so many people, she was organized, efficient, and somehow managed to make every photo look effortless and natural. The final galleries are stunning. Every time I look at our photos, I feel so much joy and excitement, and I’m always eager to work with her again. Cha is not only a talented photographer but also a genuinely caring person who captures meaningful moments that you will cherish forever.
MARIA
Cha was AMAZING!!

We booked her to take our engagement pictures after having a vision I wanted and she brought it to life! Exceeded my expectations for sure. Our pictures turned out beautiful and she truly made our experience fun and listened to what I wanted.

Will recommend her over and over again, and I can’t wait for further shoots with her!
LACIE
Cha is absolutely amazing. From her communication, to her personality, to her final product, she delivers a high quality experience for such an affordable price.

Cha was our engagement + wedding photographer and she created such a fun and comfortable atmosphere. We look forward to using her services again and we'd recommend her to anyone who is looking for a photographer!

all the details and special moments from J+B’s day made me realize how much i love what i do..

their dog Moose was with them the entire day.
they have a water bowl for their dog Bella who passed just a few months before their wedding.
the memory wall that Brandon built himself.
the way Jessica’s dad looked at Brandon at the end of the aisle.
the song tribute to Brandon’s mom and everyone danced with them.

i am in the moment with you while capturing it all.
