Hi, I'm Tess

a hugger and oversharer

I'm a wedding photographer based in Washington, D.C. with 10+ years behind the camera, tagging along with crazy-in-love couples who want to remember all the big and little moments of their wedding day.

I'm not here to stiffly pose you or make you redo your first kiss because the angle was off. I'm more concerned with getting to know you and what's most important to you — so when your wedding day rolls around, you aren't being told what to do by a stranger. You're hanging out with a friend.

Kind Words

from the couples

Angie and James

"We absolutely cannot recommend working with Tessa enough. We worked with Tessa for both our engagement and wedding photos, and she truly feels like a dear friend now. She approaches everything with thoughtfulness, grace, and joy! Truthfully, we initially dreaded the thought of having our photos taken, but now it's one of our favorite memories. Tessa makes everything feel natural and playful, and the photos turned out to be an absolute dream. She is incredibly communicative and organized, and genuinely brings heart and care into her work (which is evident in her stunning photos). We love Tessa and cannot thank her enough for being our friend, advocate, and lovely capturer for such an important day."

"Tessa did my wedding photography and if I could give her 100 stars, I would!! She has such a talent for capturing the sweetest moments and not just shooting standard portraits of you and your partner, every shot has so much character and life. You truly can't pick a better photographer to trust on your big day!"

"I cannot recommend Tessa enough! From our initial meeting through our engagement photos and wedding day, she was an absolute pleasure to work with. We were blown away by the beautiful moments she captured. If you're looking for someone who not only helps you feel comfortable but is also experienced in the world of weddings, Tessa is the perfect choice. On our wedding day, she kept us on schedule and organized, making the entire experience smooth and stress-free. We especially loved that she included a second shooter in the package we chose. You can truly see how much Tessa loves what she does, and we are incredibly grateful for her!"

Good Questions

the things couples ask

do you travel?
yes!! i'm based in d.c. but i'll show up wherever your love story takes you. travel within the dmv is on me, and all elopement collections include travel anywhere in the continental u.s.
how quickly do you book up?
most of my couples book 9–12 months out, especially for peak season (may–october). if your date is within 6 months, don't wait to reach out — let's chat asap!
what's your turnaround time?
sneak peeks within 48 hours of your wedding (because i know you can't wait), and your full gallery within 8 weeks.
do you offer payment plans?
yes, always. a retainer holds your date, and then we set up a monthly payment plan that has you paid in full 30 days before your wedding day. no surprises.
what if it rains, or something goes wrong?
in 10+ years of weddings, i've shot through rain, snow, 103° heat, and one truly memorable tornado — we'll be just fine, i promise. i bring backup gear to every wedding and i've got a plan b (and c) for just about anything.
we're really awkward in front of the camera. is that okay?
literally everyone says this and literally everyone ends up loving their photos. i don't do stiff posing or weird hand placements — i just give you something to do, crack some jokes, and let you be you. that's where the magic happens.
Get In Touch
