Hello! I'm Mindy Tanimoto, a California-based Wedding and Portrait Photographer. My passion is to capture and create your story in a natural light setting. I specialize in using natural light to bring out the beauty and moments in your special day. Photography has always been a passion of mine, and I feel incredibly fortunate to be able to do what I love while building lasting relationships with my clients. I am a true believer in love, and as a mother of two wonderful sons and a loving husband, I can truly say that I have experienced the joys of true love. I have been married for over 20 years, and I firmly believe that the secret to a successful marriage is to never give up. When I'm not behind the camera, you can find me creating lifelong memories with my family, traveling, going to the beach, or simply relaxing with a glass of iced tea. I am thrilled to meet you and learn your story!
My Favorite Things
I have a deep love for breathtaking views at sunset with natural light. Sunsets provide a beautiful and romantic backdrop, and the natural light adds a magical touch to every photograph. Fresh bouquets are another one of my favorite things. They add a splash of color and freshness to every portrait session. I enjoy capturing the details of engagement rings, dresses, and other accessories that make your special day even more memorable.
