Kind Words

Tess Photographed my wedding and I couldn't be more grateful. She was so kind and easy going, she captured photos that I look back on and feel like I'm still in that moment. I can't wait to rebook family photos with her next, would recommend her to everyone.

Victoria Hansen
We hired Tess to capture a family gathering and it was absolute perfection. Her photos are warm and she herself was so comfortable around the family, which put everyone at ease. Highly recommend her!

Kelsey Underwood
I would absolutely recommend Tess! We hired her to photograph a Miami Vice themed party for my husband’s 30th birthday. The vibe of the whole evening really came across in the photos, she captured everything down to all the details and decor! The candid style of her photography absolutely exceeded my expectations!! So thankful I can remember this party forever because of these incredible photos

Justine Davis
Tess and her team did an amazing job with our wedding - captured so many candid moments that we will cherish for the rest of our lives - all of her work was amazing and well priced - highly recommended

Jasmine Clark
I throughly enjoyed working with Tess for multiple reasons: She makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera which is super important for a photographer. 2. She captured some raw and beautiful images/emotions which can be hard to do! 3. Her turn around date to giving back images was one of the fastest I’ve ever had. I got them back and edited within two-three days. 4: I loved how my photos turned out. I highly recommending working with her!
