Gustavo Tessaro Photography

Gustavo and his team are phenomenal!

Don’t second guess, Book NOW! I seen Gustavo’s portfolio and recognized that his reputation with venues and on IG / social media was top notch. I had reached out to Gustavo and his team to inquire about services and although I loved his work, I wasn’t sold on whether or not to actually book. After numerous attempt to search out other vendors and confirming Gustavo was still available, we had the opportunity to meet him and Julianna at a showcase (and they were still available - fate/destiny!). They had the ability to connect with us and create authentic dialogue without being a pushing a salesperson /vendor. My partner and I discussed our interactions and encouraged me to go with my gut!! And Gustavo and Julianna did not disappoint! They were extremely easy to work with and accommodating to our needs.
I really wanted our engagement photos to be elegant/formal photos, and wanted to use the Atrium at Hartford City Hall and Elizabeth Park to capture the look. In order to capture the flowers in Bloom we scheduled a photoshoot for later mid-June ( a couple of weeks before our July 2023 wedding). Gustavo ensured we’d be able to have out photos back within a week so that we can use them for wedding decor. Not only did they meet our expectations, they exceeded our expectations.
First, for engagement photos. Julianna ensured we hit both locations in Hartford (1hr away) and took time to capture the beauty of the moment. There was no rush and she asked if there was any other shoots we needed or wanted before moving to the next location or leaving. Based off previous conversations we assumed that we wouldn’t get pictures for a week however, Julianna advised we’d get a preview within 2 days. Well you can imagine the surprise and excitement we had when less than 2 hrs after our shoot we had a preview of photos. The preview photos did not disappoint… they were “stunning”! We were blown away at how amazing we looked and the quick turn around time. We all know the dread of waiting for anything especially photos but Gustavo and Julianna came through with the instant gratification of having preview photos for us to see immediately.
Second, for the wedding. Gustavo and his team accommodated extended wedding photography coverage to meet out needs. While we agreed he’d meet the bride and bridesmaids at the bridal suite and Julianna would meet the groom and groomsmen at the venue, Gustavo arrived slightly early to capture photos of the groom and groomsmen before they left for the venue. The intentional thinking ahead to create a holistic presentation of our day was beyond thoughtful and displayed his commitment to profession and his brand.
At the wedding they captured all of must have pictures. They were professional and attentive to our needs, so much so that Julianna started taking pictures of the bride and family even though it was during the dinner. Their ability to be proactive and serve us in ways we didn’t think of or ask was considerably great service. Gustavo and the team collaborated with our DJ who had displayed out engagement photos on his booth monitors to add same day wedding picture. Can you imagine how blown away we was to sit down to have dinner and see the monitors displaying wedding pictures?!? It was the sweetest and most thoughtful /creative touch for the bridal party and guests - everyone usually sees the photographer taking pictures but don’t always get to see how wonderful they are. Well Gustavo and Julianna and the team nailed it!
Lastly, even though the wedding day was long and hot, Gustavo and his team managed to get us a sneak peak of the wedding day photos that night /early morning. The service, professionalism, and quality is undoubtedly next level! Don’t trust anyone else… Book NOW!

We truly cannot say enough amazing things about Gustavo and his team! From the second they arrived to the very last moment of our wedding day, they were absolutely incredible. They went above and beyond to capture every moment possible, making sure we could look back and relive all the little moments, big emotions, and memories that made our day so special. They were so fun, funny, easygoing, and genuinely amazing to work with. They made us feel so comfortable, kept everything flowing effortlessly, and brought such a great energy to our day. Choosing them was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding, and we honestly wouldn’t have wanted anyone else by our side capturing such an important day in our lives. If you’re looking for a photographer and videographer who are not only incredibly talented but also amazing people, look no further. We recommend them a million times over! We are so grateful to them for giving us memories we will cherish for the rest of our lives! 🤍

We are so thankful for Gustavo Tessaro Photography for perfectly capturing our wedding on 7/26/26 at the Candlewood Inn!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We were highly impressed with their communication and professionalism throughout the planning process and on our wedding day. They were organized and made taking pictures in the July heat easy and fun. Everything flowed so well- even our guests noted how great they worked together, with us, and our venue. We received all of the pictures we were hoping for and waking up to over 500 preview photos the morning after the wedding was absolutely amazing! Gustavo and his team truly went above and beyond for us as the pictures and videos were perfect!
We selected 2 photographers, 2 videographers, drone, Photo Booth, & wedding album. We can’t wait to receive our wedding album and are also so excited to be working with Red Door Art for flower preservation!
We highly recommend Gustavo Tessaro Photography and are so thankful for all of their hard work as we can look back on our wedding day forever. 😊

We truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Gustavo and Luisa! From start to finish, the experience was beyond anything we could have hoped for. Not only is their talent absolutely incredible, but the care, kindness, professionalism, and genuine passion they bring to their work make them truly one of a kind.
If you are looking for a wedding photographer, look no further. We would recommend them a million times over without a single hesitation. Thank you for being such a special part of our wedding and for giving us memories we will never stop looking back on with the biggest smiles. You are truly exceptional at what you do, and anyone who gets to work with you is incredibly lucky!

Gustavo and his team were truly the most professional staff we could have come across. The timing, communication, and the results were even better than expected. We are in love with every photo and every minute of our video.

There are no words big enough to describe how amazing Gustavo, Juliana, and the rest of his team are. From the very beginning I knew we were in the best hands. They didn’t just show up with a camera…they showed up with heart, vision, and a genuine passion for capturing us, who we are, what we love, and every emotion in between. Our Star Wars-themed wedding could’ve easily felt silly or over-the-top to someone else, but they saw the magic in it, and brought it to life in ways we never could’ve imagined. They made us feel confident, seen, and celebrated. They caught the quiet, emotional moments we didn’t even know we’d want to remember. The laughter, the tears, the lightsabers—every part of our day was captured with such care and artistry that looking through our photos genuinely brought us to tears. This wasn’t just photography—it was a gift. A way to relive one of the most important days of our lives forever. We now have these beautiful memories, frozen in time, to carry with us always. They’re not just a vendor—they became part of our story. If you’re even thinking of hiring them—do it. You won’t regret it.

Cannot recommend Gustavo and his team enough. From start to finish, he was attentive, accommodating and on top of all communication. Though weather is something we can’t control, Gustavo knew how badly I wished to have an outdoor wedding and did everything he could to ensure as much time outside as possible. Thanks to Gustavo, we were able to get all of our photos outside. Not only did he prioritize our wishes of outdoor photos, but Gustavo and his team made my husband and I feel comfortable and at ease the whole day. Our wedding was filled with plenty of laughter and smiles. Highly recommend Gustavo for all photography needs - you will not regret it!

We're so thrilled with our wedding photographer and videographer team, Gustavo and team were absolutely amazing! From the getting ready photos to capturing the special moments of the ceremony and reception, they nailed every shot. Gustavo made everything a breeze from the day we signed the contract to the big event. Couldn't be happier with these pros capturing our big day – we absolutely loved our photos and video to remember our special day forever. Big thanks to Gustavo and the team for making it all so easy and fun! 100% recommend this amazing team for your big day!

I have rewatched the video almost everyday, especially after sharing with friends and family, and it just makes me cry how beautifully your team captured every moment. All the special ones between me and Alex and the all the moments we did not see. The music choices were so perfect. The editing job, phenomenal.
The dance montage of our guests at the end is so fun and hilarious, it captures exactly how the day was spent and the love and feelings that were had by everyone. We had some crazy dancers and couldn’t wait to see! 😆
Please let your editor know that we thank him so very much for putting this all together in such a beautiful way, we will be forever grateful. ❤️ Our hearts go out to him and his family.
And as I said in my other email, your team for the day of was the best! They were so much fun and just knew how to capture every moment. Everyone enjoyed them being there!
You all are so amazing at what you do and we are so forever grateful. Thank you so much!
