What Makes my Approach Unique?
My editing style is timeless, warm, and vibrant. I focus on bringing out the colors that you carefully chose rather than editing to create a certain aesthetic or follow a trend. No wedding gallery looks quite the same because no wedding is the same.
I value getting to know my couples throughout the wedding planning process and providing expert advice every step of the way. Plus, I offer a superior customer experience, with heirloom quality memory boxes and fine art prints prints included in every package.
I have a documentarian approach to weddings. While I will create a timeline for your weddings, I love to leave space to capture your wedding day as it unfolds. I don't manufacture fake photo ops because I know the photos you'll treasure most are the authentic moments.

“To describe Tess in three words: talented, friendly, and genuine."
Tess was everything we could’ve asked for in a wedding photographer and more! I stumbled across her website when she was just starting TLC, and her use of color & composition really caught my eye. Our wedding planning got complicated with covid and she was there for us when we had to keep rescheduling. When we inevitably had to move our ceremony to Florida, I thought we’d have to cancel—but she offered to come with us, and I’m so glad she did! I’m impressed with the shots we’ve gotten back so far and can’t wait to see the rest. On top of that, she’s just a genuine pleasure to be around. Next time we need photos, we’ll definitely be reaching back out to Tess! - Kristen Tolentino

The Process
If you like what you see and are interested in booking a session, click on our contact page and fill out an inquiry form. We'll book a consultation so we can learn more about each other.
Once you’ve booked your wedding, we’ll begin the planning process! I’ll send you a “getting to know you” questionnaire and be there with you every step of the way. We’ll also set a date for your engagement session.
It’s finally time to say, “I do!” I always arrive at weddings early, ready to support you and be your personal hypewoman all day long. I make sure we get all the shots that we’ve planned for, that no detail goes missed, and that you remember to eat on your wedding day!
You get a sneak peek of photos within 24 hours of your wedding day.Your full gallery is delivered within 4 weeks.Your memory box arrives a few weeks after your digital gallery.

Have Some Questions? I've Gotchu!
YES. Love is love is love. :)
I require a 25% non-refundable deposit to reserve your wedding date.The rest must be paid one month before your wedding. I’ll send you a digital invoice that’s payable by card or wire transfer, and I’m flexible with payment plans.
If you’ve already paid for the wedding, then your 25% deposit is non- refundable. I will try my best to accommodate a new date, but if I’m already booked on that day, then your deposit is still non-refundable.
If I have to cancel on you, I will refund the full cost of your wedding and recommend you 3-5 photographers in my place.
Yep! Even out-of-state or internationally. I like to keep it simple. If you're wedding is in Texas but further than 50 miles from 78725, add $300 to your total. For weddings out of Texas, add $800 to your total.
After your wedding, I will text you a dozens of previews. If there are certain photos you want in the previews (like ones with certain family members), be sure to let me know. I will deliver the rest of your digital images within four weeks via a gallery-sharing site called Pixieset. I also mail you a memory box that includes a few prints and a USB with all your photos.
Nope. To honor the integrity of my work and of this industry, what you see in your final gallery is what you get. You didn’t just hire me to take your pictures—you hired me to curate the final product. By only sending you select images, I am saving you the time and energy it takes to sift through the hundreds—maybe thousands—of photos taken during the wedding. It’s important that we trust each other when we enter into a contract—so trust me when I tell you that the images I deliver will be the best of the best.
