About me

We fell in love with Tanja’s photos and the way in which she captures the story of the day. From the get-go she was easy to talk to and very friendly, we felt confident that she’d be the photographer for us! On the day of our wedding we hiked up to a mountain in Tromsø before heading down to a beach for the legal ceremony with our family. Tanja captured beautiful photos of us and we didn’t feel awkward. This is the first time we’ve ever had couple photos taken and we love them, I can’t stop looking at them! We can’t wait to display them around our house.
If you’re looking for someone who’s friendly, professional, up for an adventure and takes beautiful photos then be sure to book Tanja!

Tanja is THE BEST! Seriously, AMAZING.

We decided to elope in Northern Norway, and Tanja helped all of it come true in only 4 months of planning! She made us feel extremely comfortable throughout the whole process. She understood exactly what we wanted our day(s) to look like, and then gave us lots of different options. We were so thankful for how flexible she was throughout the planning process and then during the elopement adventure to make sure we saw the northern lights and got all the pictures we hoped for. By the end of the few days with us, I felt like she was family! With Tanja’s help, we were able to have the most magical couple of days in Alta and an elopement that we will NEVER forget! Also, our pictures are phenomenal. Better than I could have ever imagined. If you’re thinking about booking Tanja/TS Foto Design, just say YES!

From our first video call with Tanja, we knew she was the right photographer for our elopement. We wanted to elope in winter to a mountain top and see the northern lights. Although Tanja did say we might not see the northern lights we were lucky enough to on a few nights and even capture some photos. Tanja planned the perfect itinerary for us based on our wishes and met us in person when we arrived in Alta to go through the details. When our wedding day arrived, it was better than our wildest dreams and the photos captured everything! If you are looking to do something a bit different, we would highly recommend Tanja – the best adventure photographer!

We had the pleasure of working with Tanja at our elopement in Loen, Norway. From the beginning, Tanja has been very intentional in delivering a personalized experience. We let her know what types of sceneries/moments we were looking to capture (for us it was fjords and wildlife, intimate wedding ceremony, boat ride and skylift).

Tanja scouted some great locations and each of these places were perfect for what we described. Tanja went above and beyond in helping me find a bridal bouquet and a wedding cake for the day of our elopement. Working with her truly made the day much more enjoyable as we didn’t have to stress over the logistics and got to focus on each other, our elopement, and the beautiful scenery. We highly recommend Tanja in her photography, professionalism, and kindness!

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. On the first day we arrived to Alta, we met with Tanja to go over details of our wedding. Unfortunately a blizzard and 40 mph winds were forecasted. Tanja was open to rescheduling the ceremony for another day, but we opted to just go for it regardless of the weather. She is fast and sneaky with her cameras and I hardly even noticed her capturing the ceremony! Not only did she go out of her way to accommodate us, but the photos she got were outstanding.

Our family and friends were blown away and told us they were the most stunning wedding photos they had ever seen. I can’t say enough good things about Tanja, her photography style, and her work ethic. We want to see the Lofoten Islands for our 5 year anniversary and hope to book her again!

I wish we could give more than 5 stars! Planning an elopement to a country we had never been in less than 5 months could have been overwhelming, but Tanja was so helpful in planning our perfect elopement . It ended up being completely stress-free. Tanja helped us find some amazing locations in Sommarøy and Senja. Because of her incredible photography skills, we got a set of photos that were more special than we ever imagined. Tanja also made us feel comfortable in front of the camera – something neither of us normally are.

Tanja was incredibly helpful with logistics for the wedding day, including recommending an excellent hair and makeup stylist, confirming ferry times, and adjusting plans when last-minute road work impacted some of our plans. Most of all, Tanja is super friendly and was a great companion for our special day!

Tanja was an absolute dream to work with! She and my fiancé planned the entire surprise proposal, and photography session.

She went above and beyond for us, scouting out places for photos in Aurland and the surrounding area. As well as giving my fiancé ideas for our whole trip to Norway. I truly was blown away.

Her photography skills, and her attention to detail is next to none! She is also one of the kindest people I have had the pleasure of meeting. Thank you so much Tanja for making May 16th 2022 the best day of my life.

I can’t thank Tanja enough for making my dream surprise proposal under the Northern Lights a reality. When showing photos to other people, I keep hearing one of three things: a) Is this real? b) This is the best proposal photo I’ve ever seen c) You have ruined things for your younger brothers because they’ll never be able to live up to this. Those reactions should tell you all you need to know about Tanja’s skills!

But I want to say more! For years I had a vision of proposing under the Northern Lights. I had been searching all over Scandinavia for photographers who would be able to help, but none really fit the bill until I finally found Tanja. She worked with me for 5+ months on planning the trip, giving me tons of info on everything I needed. I eventually decided to come to her home base in Alta, and my fiancé and I both loved the whole experience!
