love notes / what you’re saying

  • We had the absolute pleasure of working with Tess for our engagement shoot, and we couldn’t be happier with the results! They captured the moment perfectly, bringing out all the emotions in such an authentic way. The ‘moody beach vibes’ style was exactly what we were hoping for, and it truly elevated the whole experience. From start to finish, Tess was a total professional. Communication was excellent, making the planning process so smooth, and they made us feel comfortable and at ease throughout the entire shoot. If you’re looking for someone to capture your special moments with a unique, artistic touch, we highly recommend Tess!

    -Courtney Adrian

  • Our shoot with Tess was one of the most relaxed photo sessions my husband and I have done. She captured the best in-between moments and had lots of prompts for us to do, so we never had to think about what poses to do. The final photos were so beautiful and had a very relaxed/candid feel about them which we love! Highly recommend!
