tara

A New York based wedding studio shaping meaningful celebrations through place, atmosphere, and thoughtful presence.

Pawan Sukhdeo is the creator behind Tara, blending design, memory, and nature into intentional celebrations. Her work is rooted in the contrasts that shaped her life, finding meaning in simplicity and depth in the spaces between. Tara sees gatherings as living metaphors, moments where the personal becomes universal and the natural world becomes part of the story.

We bring people together in settings where design and emotion move in harmony. A slower atmosphere. A thoughtful composition. A day that feels honest and beautifully human.

Philosophy

Nature acts as the quiet architect of every celebration, setting the tone through light, terrain, and seasonal atmosphere. Design follows as a study in modern editorial simplicity, where minimal lines, balanced composition, and thoughtful restraint create spaces that feel elevated without excess. Intimacy becomes the grounding layer, shaped by the scale of the gathering and the presence of the people within it, allowing each moment to feel considered, meaningful, and fully experienced.

What We Create

Celebrations take shape through the interplay of landscape, architecture, and atmosphere, guided by a clear artistic direction that feels both refined and relaxed. The result is an experience that carries aesthetic clarity while holding emotional depth, designed to be timeless in photographs and grounded in feeling. Each gathering becomes a composition of thoughtful details and meaningful interactions, forming a moment in time that is calm, personal, and beautifully human.

Approach

Each celebration begins with an understanding of place, observing the textures, the light, and the character of the setting. Curated elements are selected to align with this environment, from materials and makers to the flow of the day, resulting in a cohesive and intentional experience. Planning provides structure without rigidity, allowing space for natural movement and genuine moments to unfold. Every detail serves a purpose, contributing to an atmosphere that feels calm, immersive, and deeply connected to its surroundings.
