small weddings in big places

Tessa was fantastic for our wedding in April! She was so accommodating and really took our vision and personalities into account, both during our engagement shoot and our big day. We wanted a very candid style to capture our love as a memory rather than rely on stiff, unnatural poses, and Tessa did just that... The photos capture the perfect balance of whimsical nature and passion we were looking for... Her presence was a ray of sunshine that our guests loved. I was never made to feel like I was asking too much, which can be surprisingly hard to come by in the wedding business. If you want unique pictures that will capture the soul and emotions of your precious moments, Tessa is the one for you.

Tessa is absolutely incredible! From our very first phone call, my husband and I knew we had made the right choice in eloping with her. Tessa’s sweet, charming personality instantly put us at ease and made the entire experience feel effortless and so fun. Tessa’s talent for capturing every moment so beautifully is truly unmatched - each photo perfectly reflects the joy and emotion of our special day. We couldn’t be happier with our experience and the stunning photos we’ll treasure forever.

Photography was the one thing my husband and I both agreed had to be perfect and Tessa absolutely delivered. She immediately put us at ease and made the entire experience feel effortless... Not only is she incredibly talented behind the camera, but she’s also such a kind and genuine person, which makes working with her even more special. Our photos perfectly captured every emotion and memory, and I truly can’t thank her enough.

Tessa is an incredible photographer but also an incredible person. She made us feel comfortable throughout our whole process from our engagement photos to our wedding day. She is constantly offering any help and advice to make the process as smooth as possible. With her photography she is very creative and finds the memory out of the moment. We can’t thank her enough for capturing not only our day but the love we share. I couldn’t recommend her more.

Tessa was such a lovely person to work with from beginning to end. She...was a great source of knowledge for my micro wedding in Asheville. She made our engagement picture session fun and comfortable...She also broke our wedding day up so that we could have a private session in the woods in the morning and the ceremony session with family in the afternoon at our venue, something I... appreciate that she was willing to do so we could get both the aesthetics of my dreams. She effortlessly captures your joy and love and makes you look the best you could be! The vibe of her photos is so authentic and dreamy.

Tessa was awesome!! When choosing to elope, we wanted it to be intimate and authentic to us but also have a little guidance and someone to capture our special day beautifully. Tessa was nothing short of fantastic!!! She was patient and determined to make sure our ceremony spot was everything we wanted!!

We are in love with our pictures and memories of our perfect day!! 🤍
