Beverly Tharp Photographer - San Francisco, Bay Area, San Jose, Wedding Photography

Background

Weddings are THE most wonderful event to photograph; the day is full of beauty, fun and emotion, and it's inspiring to portray people at their best. I treasure the opportunity to be with you and create visual memories that you’ll enjoy for years.

Since 1999 I have concentrated on portraying weddings. I take this mission very seriously. Each one is unique, as you are.

My childhood in Hawaii gives me an appreciation of the warm friendliness that exists between people, even if they are “strangers”.
