Mary Jo Tait—Photographer

Welcome, you beautiful couple, you!

I wish I could invite you into my cozy mountain home for a cup of coffee (or something a little stronger), but virtual introductions will have to do, at least for now! I’m MJ, traveler extraordinaire and lover of the things that make life surprising. I’m always looking around the corner toward my next adventure, whether it’s checking another continent off my travel list or photographing a drop-dead-gorgeous elopement complete with an unforgettable Vera Wang in the rolling hills of SoCal. Maybe your “I do”s will be my next big adventure? I’d love to tell you a bit more about me, so we can dive into what makes your love story so special!

 

“I remember receiving our wedding photos from Jo and I just burst into tears. I was just so happy with all of them.”
