Tender, slow,
quietly remembered.
Photography and cinematic films for weddings, portraits, and the days you'll want, many years from now, to feel exactly as they did.
Northern New Jersey Wedding Photographer & Videographer
I'm Michael. For nearly fifteen years I've made honest, sun-soaked photographs and short films of New Jersey weddings, portraits, and the quiet moments families don't think to ask for, but always thank me for keeping.
Sarah & James,
at Bethesda Terrace
A foggy October Saturday in Central Park. Two families, four bridesmaids in dusty rose, a string quartet that played a Joni Mitchell song while the rain held off just long enough.
"Michael disappears at your wedding. You don't see him work. Then the gallery arrives and you find yourself in tears for an entire afternoon."

One team for your photography and your film
Most couples hire a photographer and, separately, a video crew who meet for the first time on the wedding morning. Michael Taramona Productions does both, which means a single team working from one timeline, one shot list, and one understanding of your story. Your gallery and your wedding film end up sharing the same eye instead of pulling in two directions.
Home base is Wallington, New Jersey, and we photograph and film weddings throughout New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, and Pennsylvania, along with destination celebrations further out. From a New York City ceremony to a Connecticut estate, a Pennsylvania barn, or a classic New Jersey ballroom, the approach travels with us: calm, documentary, and built around the people in front of the lens rather than a rigid template.
That coverage flexes to fit the day. An intimate elopement, a full weekend of events, an engagement session before the wedding, or family portraits afterward all get the same care. If you are starting to plan, the best first step is simply to check your date and tell us what you are imagining.
Planning a wedding outside New Jersey? See our New York, Connecticut, and Pennsylvania wedding photography pages.
Looking for film in particular? See our New Jersey wedding videographer page, with cinematic coverage, simple hourly pricing, and video-only always welcome.
Not a wedding? We also photograph engagement and couples sessions, family, newborn and maternity sessions across New Jersey, plus baptisms and christenings.
Planning something small? We love elopements and micro-weddings, with courthouse and City Hall ceremonies included, from $400.
