About Tessa Tadlock
Tessa Tadlock
I don't just capture moments, I ✨create✨ them! I'm for the couples who want photos that look candid, but are actually directed so you never feel awkward!! If you're sarcastic or a dog person, I like you already...if you want emotive photos that feel like art...HIT MY LINE.
Shooting with me will feel like you two are the leads in a rom com and I'm the director! It's a really a collaborative process… but I do all the work and you just trust me and have fun, lol. I will be screaming behind the camera, excited when I get the shot I’m after. And no matter what chaos happens during your day I will be your girllll, happy and positive, joking around, and having fun creating magic!

Tessa is pure magic! 3
From the moment I came across Tessa’s work, I knew she would be the perfect photographer to capture my wedding day. Her communication style was consistently supportive, reliable, and made me feel at ease throughout the entire process. Tessa's cinematic, artistic approach produced photographs from our wedding that were truly emotional, genuine, and pure - perfectly capturing the essence of our relationship. She made us feel comfortable and confident throughout, while also managing to beautifully document all the candid, heartfelt moments. I couldn’t imagine having anyone else there to preserve the memories of our special day. Tessa's unique, stunning style resulted in the most beautiful wedding photos I could have ever dreamed of. She’s an amazing photographer who I honestly can’t wait to work with again someday!
Exactly what we wished for and more
Tessa is magic. We spoke about a slightly off kilter shoot idea for our elopement, and she fully came on board and then some. She’s quick, encouraging, non judgmental, and truly just a good time. We will cherish these photos for the rest of our days. Forever grateful to sweet Tessa. xx
the best photographer
Tessa is hands down one of the best photographers out there. Her photos are effortlessly Pinterest worthy. the kind you want to frame, post, and look back on forever. She has an incredible way of capturing candid moments that feel natural rather than stiff or overly posed. One of the things that sets Tessa apart is how comfortable she makes you feel. There’s never that awkward, What do I do with my hands? moment. she knows exactly how to pose you in a way that feels easy and natural. Plus, she’s genuinely one of the kindest people you’ll meet. She hypes you up throughout the shoot, making sure you feel confident and so beautiful the entire time. Once you get your photos back you have one of those wow that’s really me? moments. Whether you’re looking for dreamy portraits, lifestyle shots, or wedding photos, Tessa delivers every single time. If you need a photographer who’s extremely talented, professional, and an all-around great person to work with, she’s the one. I can promise you won’t be disappointed!
Book her!!!
I had been following Tessa's incredible work for a few years, so the moment we got engaged, she was the first vendor we reached out to—we knew she had to be the one to capture our elopement. She exceeded every expectation we had. Her artistic vision, fun energy, and incredible eye for detail made the experience truly unforgettable. She was also fantastic at communicating throughout the entire process, making everything seamless and stress-free. In fact, when we started to plan our reception, I quickly realized I couldn't imagine not having her be a part of that day as well—and again, she exceeded every expectation. Her talent behind the camera speaks for itself, but beyond that, she is just an all-around incredible human—kind, fun, and a joy to be around. We’ve already decided we need to come up with more occasions just so we can hang out with her again. Highly, highly recommend!
