What Does It Mean To Elope?
just imagine...
It’s not just going to the courthouse on a whim. It can be whatever you want it to be! You can spend a year planning, invite a few family & friends or even spend a weekend camping in the backcountry. Eloping means making your wildest dreams come true!

MY STYLE
MY PROMISE
MY WHY
I understand that being in front of the camera can be intimidating! That’s why I focus on connections and love instead of posing. While I will give you guidance using prompts, my goal is to capture authentic and candid moments that truly show your relationship. You will feel comfortable and natural; not fake! And don’t worry, you will look AMAZING!
My promise to you is that I will NEVER make you do something that you are not comfortable with. And I will be with you every step of the way!
To give couples a stress free experience so that they can write their love story the way they want to.
love is meant to be an adventure

"I can’t say enough about how impressed I am with Tessa!! She’s an amazing photographer that literally reads my mind and knows what I want. She so respectful and makes me feel so comfortable to just be myself. I’m relaxed and always having the best time. She’s captured family photos for us and couple shoots. Each time it gets better. She knows the best locations, suggestions on our clothes, and always makes the experience a true memory we will never forget."
