Tara Gillen Photography

Tara Gillen is a Kempston-based wedding specialist who tells your story with warmth, creativity and a relaxed sense of fun. With more than a decade photographing couples and families, Tara’s work is rooted in documentary-style storytelling — capturing the real emotions, playful moments and tiny details that make each wedding unique. If you want professional wedding photos that feel natural rather than staged, Tara is the photographer who will help you relive the day again and again. Why choose Tara? Her approach is friendly and unobtrusive. She blends into your day like a trusted guest, giving gentle direction only when needed and otherwise letting genuine moments unfold. That relaxed atmosphere helps couples and guests feel at ease, producing images that are full of personality and heart. Tara’s photography balances candid reportage with thoughtful portrait moments so you get a complete visual record of your wedding — from pre-wedding nerves and ceremony smiles to late-night dancing. Tara specialises in wedding and engagement photography, tailoring each shoot to fit your style and venue. She spends time understanding what matters to you, whether that’s bold, colourful party shots, intimate couple portraits, or the little details that tell your story. She’s based in Kempston and regularly shoots across Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire and beyond, bringing local knowledge and calm organisation to every wedding she photographs. How Tara works: expect clear communication, practical planning and a warm, relaxed vibe on the day. Many couples find a pre-wedding or engagement session helpful — it’s a gentle way to feel comfortable in front of the camera and build rapport before the big day. On the wedding day Tara moves with the flow of events, capturing authentic interactions and seizing creative moments as they happen. After the wedding she delivers beautifully edited, high-resolution images that are ready to share and print. Though weddings are Tara’s core specialism, she also offers family and maternity shoots that complement her storytelling approach.
