TESS
I'm a film & digital documentary style wedding photographer based out of Prescott Arizona, but often traveling for work. I'm for the ones who want refined messiness. The ones who want life documented exactly as it is, through the intentional eyes of an artist.
This is structured authenticity.
i actually want to get to know you, and i mean really know you. i want to learn what makes you laugh, smile, cry, and all that in between. knowing you helps me document your truest and most authentic self, whether that is on your wedding day or splashing in a stream and running through a field at sunrise. you deserve to be captured exactly as you are.
Based in Arizona, working throughout Southern California, I photograph weddings with a focus on emotion, movement, and honesty.
My approach is artful and documentary, rooted in instinct and intention. I believe it’s composition that shapes the fleeting into something lasting—the way light drapes across a room, how a frame holds stillness, how balance makes emotion feel like art. Whether your wedding is intimate or elaborate, if you care about how it all felt as much as how it looked, I think you’d like the way I see.
"Tess has captured some of our most memorable moments"
She makes us feel so comfortable in front of the camera and is so kind and easy to talk with! We couldn’t imagine working with anyone else to capture our lives and the big moments. She truly has such a gift and captures our love so candidly.

" If you want a photographer who is going to give you photos that will surly make you cry happy tears, then use Tess"
Tess is amazing to work with! We have worked with her a few different times and each time she knows how to capture the moment. She is so easy & fun to work with and you can tell how much she cares. If you want a photographer who is going to give you photos that will surly make you cry happy tears, then use Tess! 10/10 recommend.

"Her talent is unbelievable and she makes my husband and I feel so comfortable in front of a camera."
I could go on and on all day about how amazing Tess is!! She is my go-to for ALL of my photo needs! Her talent is unbelievable and she makes my husband and I feel so comfortable in front of a camera. I am always obsessed with how our pics turn out every single time!!! If I could rate her a 10/10, I would! I definitely recommend Tess!

"Tess is absolutely the best photographer I’ve worked with"
Not only did she communicate honestly and openly the entire process but she made me feel comfortable and confidently with the knowledge she was sharing with me. During my shoots with Tess I felt very comfortable and open to being myself. I’ve done two shoots in total (one a boudoir andy wedding) with Tess and both times I had so much fun. My husband who is very camera shy was very open and bubbly in front of Tess and her camera, so with that being said I am beyond impress with her skills. The final edits are amazing as expected and the turnaround time that Tess gets them out is impressive as hell. All in all, Tess is an amazing and talented person to work with and I’d recommend Tess to anyone!
