Your wedding day isn’t something to be performed—it’s something to be lived. My role is to create space for you to be fully present, while documenting it with care and intention.

The Experience

From the beginning, I’m here as more than just your photographer.

I help shape a timeline that allows your day to unfold naturally—creating space for quiet moments, real emotion, and the in-between pieces that often matter most.

When guidance is needed, I’ll step in with a calm, intentional presence.
When it’s not, I’ll step back—allowing your day to happen without interruption.

Because the most meaningful images are never forced.
They’re lived.

A thoughtful, guided approach

For the couples who value...
Presence over perfection
Emotion over performance
Moments that are felt, not staged

"Tess is the best of the best! She was the photographer for our wedding and was extremely organized and kept the day on time while also allowing enough time for us to enjoy the day. She made everyone feel comfortable and constantly hyped us up. There is not a single photo that she took that my family and I didn’t love. I could not recommend Tess enough!!!! She sat down with us enough to know our vision and she nailed it 100%."

"The best of the best"

Audrey

"Tess was the absolute best for our wedding day! She genuinely went above and beyond, helping with whatever she was able to in addition to taking incredible photos! If you feel anxious about all of the photos being taken and how to pose Tess is the girl for you. She directed photos so well, especially when there are a ton of family members waiting to get photos. I'm so grateful I have photos of all the small moments I wasn't even expecting to be able to look back on. I can't think of a vendor that was more worth booking than Tess. We 100% recommend!"

"100% recommend!"

Faith

"So thoughtful"

"Tess was phenomenal at our wedding. She went above and beyond, even polishing my rings before taking detail shots. My family could not believe a photographer would do something so thoughtful.From start to finish Tess felt more like a friend than a vendor. She was kind and supportive, especially when things did not go as planned and I was stressed. That thoughtfulness gave us some of the photos we value most. She also had the right balance of warmth and direction when working with our large and energetic family. She was clear and confident, which kept everything moving.If I could get married again tomorrow I would book Tess again without hesitation

My approach is rooted in presence.
I’ll guide when needed, but more often I step back—allowing your day to unfold naturally while documenting it with intention and an editorial eye. The goal is for you to feel fully present, not posed.

Both—intentionally.
Film brings a softness and depth that feels timeless, while digital allows for flexibility in capturing fleeting moments as they happen. Together, they create a gallery that feels honest, elevated, and complete.

Once you reach out, I’ll connect with you to learn more about your day and what matters most to you. From there, I’ll guide you through collection options and next steps if it feels like the right fit.

Absolutely. I work closely with you (and your planner, if you have one) to create a timeline that allows your day to feel natural, unhurried, and fully experienced.

I utilize Canon photography equipment, including mirrorless camera bodies, prime and zoom lenses, and both on-camera and off-camera flash, to ensure that every moment is beautifully captured. This combination of professional gear allows me to adapt to any setting and lighting condition, guaranteeing high-quality images for your special day. Additionally, I offer film photography and Polaroid add-ons for those looking to add a unique touch to their collection.

Yes—heirloom albums are available and thoughtfully designed to preserve your photographs in a tangible, lasting way. design and investment of albums will be shared in both the booking process and post gallery delivery.

My policy on breaks is that I require a 30-minute meal for myself and any additional shooters for packages exceeding four hours. I will schedule this break during the couple's meal time to ensure that no important moments are missed. Your special day is my priority, and I want to make sure I’m at my best to capture every precious memory.

Yes—while I’m based in Indiana, I document weddings along the coast and beyond. Travel is quoted thoughtfully based on your location and the needs of your day.

Most couples book 6–8 months in advance, especially for peak wedding seasons. If your date is set, I recommend reaching out sooner rather than later.

My photography style combines traditional and documentary to authentically capture the essence of your unique story. I focus on both grand celebrations and intimate moments, documenting real emotions and genuine laughter. Whether it’s the excitement of your wedding day or the quiet joy of an adventure, my goal is to create timeless memories that will be cherished for generations.
