Where do I even begin? In short, let me tell you, Tessa checks every box for what you’re probably looking for in a wedding photographer. Kind. Passionate. Organized. She will capture every moment and gracefully help you create the candid images everyone dreams of having. She probably didn’t realize it but she actually helped us de-stress from being pulled in 500 different directions from friends, family and guests. I cannot even put into words how grateful I am that Tessa captured our day so perfectly.
John and I have never taken professional photos together so we were both a little nervous that we might be a bit stiff in front of a camera. And honestly, we probably would have been with any other photographer and videographer other than Tessa and Jimmy. Taking pictures is exhausting (I know it sounds silly but it is) but Tessa helped us ease into it and we were giggling the whole time and honestly just having so much fun as our first moments as husband and wife.
It is so obvious that she takes her job seriously and that she pours her heart, soul and TALENT into what she does. I truly feel like she values her photos as much as we do.
If you’re questioning whether it is worth the investment – it is. Tessa delivered us more photos than any of the other photographers quoted us. She took the time to get to know us. She gracefully knew how to position us. She was present for everything. She went above and beyond capturing everything I requested. She was beyond patient with our huge, dysfunctional families and wedding parties. And being around her and Jimmy together was truly inspiring. They were a calming force in a whirlwind of a day.
It takes a special person to work in the wedding industry. It is so easy to get caught up in the planning but it really is only about you and the person you are marrying. I knew upon meeting Tessa that she was the type of person that valued that the most of any wedding – the couple. That was so important to me – she is a selfless photographer and truly wants to see her clients happy. She is intentional, sentimental and truly a dream to work with! The entire day goes by in the blink of an eye so THANK YOU so so so much, Tessa, for capturing every little detail.
