# Tarah Coonan Photography

Tarah Coonan is a Sussex-based wedding and family photographer serving couples and families across Brighton, East Sussex and beyond. With a portfolio spanning iconic local venues like Firle Place, Pelham House, Brighton Town Hall and Hackney Round Chapel, she captures authentic moments for clients seeking documentary-style wedding photography.

What sets Tarah apart is her distinctive approach to storytelling through photography. Rather than overly posed formality, she documents genuine emotions and candid interactions that unfold throughout the day. Her work demonstrates a keen eye for light, composition and narrative—evident in her mix of colour and black-and-white imagery that ranges from intimate ceremony moments to vibrant reception celebrations.

Based near the sea in Brighton with her husband and rescue cats, Tarah brings a relaxed, personable energy to her work. She's not just a photographer but someone genuinely invested in understanding her clients' stories and personalities. Her self-described quirks—loving the National Trust, vintage collecting and random knowledge—suggest someone creative, curious and able to connect authentically with people.

Her portfolio indicates experience with diverse wedding settings, from outdoor ceremonies to intimate indoor celebrations, and her service extends to family photography. Tarah appeals to couples who value natural, unforced imagery over traditional posed shots, and who want a photographer who'll be present, engaged and genuinely excited about their special day.
