We hired Tania for our wedding this past August. I am so torn writing this review because there are a number of our wedding photos that we absolutely love, however, I wish I had known about some of the cons below, before booking.
Pros:
Portrait photos of myself and my husband - she did a great job here. We loved both these, as well as our engagement photos. They turned out fabulously and were edited very nicely.
Cons:
Family / group photos - this was the biggest flaw and issue for us. We received our photos about a month after our wedding, and were devastated to see that a number of our family photos did not turn out. I can understand where a few of them might have someone blinking, however, this was just not the case. Many of our photos had peoples' full faces blocked, or one or more people were blurry within the group photo.
For more context, we took the pictures on the back steps of an outdoor estate in Niagara. However, she did not help to pose or elevate our family, so that each person was seen in the shot. We assumed that everyone was staggered nicely, since she proceeded with a couple of shots and then signaled that she got the shot and that the next group could proceed. A few family members asked where to stand, and she did not assist with posing anyone.
If Tania would have checked back on the photos, it was easy to see that there were heads blocked in the pictures themselves. She could have also helped position people so they would be seen and the composition of the photo would turn out nicely.
We received 2 - 3 pictures of each family grouping, and the majority of them had a person blocking another person, someone not looking at the camera, or a blurry individual. I have attached the two photos we received of my husband’s family to show what I mean.

Truly amazing
Tania was awesome! We were lucky enough to have won her contest to have our engagement pictures done and after that I knew I had to have her for my wedding! And I was right she captured all my amazing moments so beautifully and I can’t stop looking at them! She was so kind and patient through all of our busy but fantastic day!! I would recommend verveine studios to all of my friends and family, and I can’t wait to have her capture other events of my life in the future!! Thanks so much Tania!!!

Tania was an absolute delight to work with! We had one face-to-face meeting months before the actual wedding, where I showed Tania my Wedding Photography inspiration board, and she remembered every single shot! I received a sneak peek less than 24 hours after the wedding, and the full digital album just a couple of weeks later! She made the photography session after the ceremony fun, and it is honestly one of my fondest memories of the day! I am completely blown away by the photographs - absolutely stunning! I will never be able to thank Tania enough for being so lovely, professional and talented. I recommend Tania @verveine studios to anyone who wants beautiful pictures and excellent service!

Easy to Work With and Great Photos!
Tania was amazing! We loved her profile instantly and after our initial phone call, we hired her. My partner and I are not big picture takers and Tania was great at directing how we posed with the perfect backdrop while keeping a natural and fun look, as we had requested. For both our engagement photos and the wedding day, Tania was ready and prepared earlier than expected so you don't have to worry about her time management skills. Aside from the ease and comfort of working with Tania, she also produced amazing shots that captured the moments that represented us best. We also got the two photographers package and her assistant was great with the candid shots - overall we had beautiful pictures that we can reflect on to remember this special day. Thank you Tania!

What an amazing photographer Tania at Verveine is, it was such an amazing experience working with her on our wedding
She is an expert who makes you feel like you own the camera you relax and get so comfortable with her presence, all those moment we love and yearn for, she captures it all .vividly reminiscence how she provided worthwhile directions in order to capture those beautiful moments. Tania is more than enough.
I can’t say it all about her
