If there’s one thing I’ve learned as a wedding photographer, it’s to be well-prepared. And I mean Well-prepared with a capital W.

I remember when I first started out as a photographer. It can certainly be daunting. From understanding the complexities of your camera to learning the intricacies of photo editing, there’s a lot to learn. Even to this day, I’m still learning.

"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! 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!




Emma & Isaiah

"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!
