Michael Tallman Photography

Photographer

Michael Tallman is a wedding photographer capturing the authentic moments of love during a wedding so they can be treasured for years.

In Their Own Words:

I catch moments. At weddings at home in Vermont and around the world, photography is my tool for documenting the light, shared love, unbridled happiness and enduring optimism of marriage rites. 

Since 2007, I’ve photographed weddings ranging from intimate elopements to elaborate wedding weekends. In addition to weddings, I also record the everyday magic of family life and adventure. 

I live in Vermont with my partner, Leah, and our three children Theo, Iris, and Ruby. My free time is spent enjoying time with my family or seeking gravity thrills on a pair of skis or mountain bike.

The couples I work with value authenticity. You’re looking for a fresh perspective. Your marriage is going to be an equal partnership, and you are thoughtfully planning your wedding to reflect that. You take your fun seriously — but you know that careful planning goes a long way.

Favorite Moment During a Wedding: My favorite moment during the wedding is the one that is totally unexpected and unplanned – between scenes, people just being themselves and letting their guards down. 

Favorite Vermont Activity: Mountain biking! I’m a lifelong skier but I have fallen in love with mountain biking over the last few years since moving back to Vermont. Great exercise and an amazing way to be in touch with the landscape and move the body. 

Dance Floor Request: Anything by Prince. My own wedding dance floor closed out with “Purple Rain”

Love Notes

Absolutely the best

August 25, 2024

Michael was the last photographer we talked to (of many!), and we knew right away that we wanted to work with him. His photos are spectacular, and we knew that we would be comfortable and cared for in spending our day with him. He was very communicative leading up to the event and answered our (many) questions about timeline and other prep. He delivered our pictures very promptly, and months later we still can’t stop looking at them — we were especially thrilled to find little moments he captured for us that we had missed in the whirlwind of the day.
