Jason and I (Tara) met on the last day of Jason’s trip to my hometown in MI. Similar to a “love at first sight” experience, we exchanged numbers before Jason’s return to Alaska. A month later, Jason flew me out to beautiful Alaska for our first date and it’s been an ongoing, wild adventure ever since! 

Passionate about growing closer together as a family, Jason and I love seeing other couples coming together to create authentic, beautiful, forever moments and are proud to service so many brides and grooms all over the world. 

Starting a business together was the best risk we’ve ever taken and working with other businesses has taught us the power of synergy, giving to others, and the need for each other! We value and understand professional services and quickly adapt your mission because you’ve entrusted us with your brand.

Clients have expressed their appreciation for Jason’s technical talent and my marketing brain. We both have a genuine love for creating powerful images to help businesses or to preserve a personal memory and we have a “do-what-it-takes” mentality for the best possible outcome. 

Beyond the business, Jason and I are the blessed parents of Caleb and Eliana. These two have amazing imaginations and aspirations. We are proud to call them part of the Dove Light Photography team. Caleb started his own youtube channel called, Caleb’s Creature Adventures. This young man is always on a mission to learn more and use his knowledge for good. Check out his channel here! Caleb’s Creature Adventures

Eliana sees the world in a beautiful light. Her sense of humor is unmatched for a girl of her age, and she brings a ton of fun and imagination to our family mission. You may catch her incredible cuteness on YouTube or on our social media from time to time.

Our family’s mission is to spread authentic beauty and creatively communicate truth. Dove Light Photography is just one way we flesh out this mission.

Our family is all about exploring the beauty around us and sharing it with others. We love the great outdoors, serving God and people, and being creative. My love for the great outdoors and my passion for reaching the highest potential manifests itself into trail & ultra running, writing and connecting with people. Jason’s love for the great outdoors and his passion for spreading beauty manifests itself in photographing the magnificent world around us, whether it’s the frozen wilderness of Alaska or the peaceful colors of the Tropics and everything in between! Caleb’s vibrant passion is to explore, learn, empower, repeat and this is proven in his YouTube Channel - Caleb’s Creature Adventures! Eliana definitely takes after her mom and runs every trail she sees. She is also a very talented little baker. Ask her for a batch of chocolate chip cookies (original or vegan/allergy free) and she won’t hesitate to make them with love.

Creativity and our love for small business is an aspect of our nature that we do not take for granted. Our appreciation for other business owners and the synergy that comes from them is invaluable! As a TINY part of our long term goals, we started a group called Upstate First - Support SC Small Business. It’s a safe place locals to share their wonderful experiences with local business and for businesses to promote their events, tell friends about upcoming offers, and to share their story. In a nutshell- it’s a way to connect with the community and support other business owners. Join this group on Facebook!
