Feeling overwhelmed by planning a big wedding? If what you want is something more intimate and centered on your love —
you’re in the right place. Let’s create the elopement of your dreams.

Because These Are More Than Just Photos

your story, your investment

My purpose as a storytelling photographer isn’t just to take beautiful photos—it’s to help you remember what it actually felt like. Every couple has their own rhythm, their own connection, and all the little in-between moments that make their story theirs. I’m there to document it honestly as it unfolds, with gentle guidance when you need it and space when you don’t. Everything I offer is built around that intention—so the photos we create together don’t just show how it looked, but bring you right back to how it felt.

Your love story deserves more than poses—let’s create an experience you’ll remember forever

While you won’t receive every single photo I take, you will receive all of the images I carefully edit—and there’s no extra cost for those. I take time to go through every shot, removing duplicates, test shots, or any photos where someone’s blinking or mid-expression, so that what you receive is a complete gallery of the best moments. You can trust that nothing important will ever be left out—every image you get will be polished, intentional, and part of telling the full story of your day.

Frequently Asked Questions

If we hike, does coverage start then?

Yes! I usually keep my camera out on the trail because some of the best moments happen in between. From laughter during the hike, to the way you help each other along the trail, to little details like wind in your hair or the sunlight peeking through the trees—these candid, unposed moments often end up being some of the most meaningful photos of the day. Hiking isn’t just the journey to your ceremony spot—it’s part of your story, and I love capturing every bit of it.

LOVE NOTE

a love note

"If I could give more stars, I would.

From the moment I first came across Tessa’s website, something just felt right. It was easy to navigate, her pricing was fair, and the quality of her photos instantly grabbed my heart. But nothing could have prepared me for how incredible she would be in person.

Meeting Tessa for our engagement photos already felt special — she made us feel so comfortable, so seen, and so genuinely ourselves. But on my wedding day, she became so much more than just a photographer. She was the calming presence I needed. She stayed with me the entire day, from getting ready to the very last moments, and she never once made me feel rushed or overwhelmed. It was like having a friend beside me who happened to capture every memory effortlessly.

When I look at the photos she took, I see more than images — I see the emotion, the joy, the nerves, the excitement, and the love of the best day of my life. She didn’t just take pictures… she froze feelings in time. Some of my favorite photos that I will ever own came from her.

Choosing Tessa was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding. I will forever be grateful that she was the one standing behind the camera on such an important day. If you’re lucky enough to have Tessa capture your story, I promise — you’ll feel the way I do right now… overwhelmed with gratitude."
