Tessa is the most amazing storyteller!!

Tessa's work speaks for itself; that's why we chose her as our wedding photographer without a second thought. But I think what most couples planning a wedding don't realize, including ourselves, is that the right photographer is so much more than the photos they take. Tessa was with us all day long on our wedding, and she was such a positive, encouraging presence that we were so lucky to have. On top of that, she handled our super long list of family portraits, went and picked up flowers for our detail shots, and so so much more. Her second shooter was a joy to have around and brought much laughter to the day as well. The wedding day went by in such a blur, but the gallery she delivered to us makes me feel like I'm right back on that day, remembering so many small details and big emotions that we missed or had already forgotten about. If you're lucky enough that Tessa has your wedding date open, book her!! We are so beyond grateful that we did. Thank you Tessa!

Tessa is the best!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Tessa! Not only did she capture every beautiful moment with incredible skill, but her kind heart truly made our day even more special. She was patient, warm, and made us feel completely at ease throughout the entire process. Tessa's genuine care and joyful spirit shone through in every photo, creating memories we will cherish forever. We are so grateful to have had such a talented and compassionate person capturing our wedding day!

Highly recommend!

I highly recommend everyone book Tessa Berg for their wedding photographer!! Her photos turned out absolutely STUNNING and I get so many compliments on them!

On top of taking amazing photos, Tessa is such a special person. From the first time you meet her at your complimentary engagement photo session, she makes you feel at ease. She spends time getting to know you and your wedding visions. She is great at working with your other vendors to ensure logistics are correct. She is great with young kids who may not have as much patience sitting through photos. She even miraculously fixed my makeup for me when a few tears were shed during the first look.

There are a lot of decisions to make when planning a wedding, but booking Tessa should be a no brainer! Not only does she take the most gorgeous photos, but she is attentive, personable, knowledgeable, positive, and so fun to work with!

Tessa is truly the best!

We highly recommend working with Tessa at Starling Studio!! Not only is she such a kind and sweet person, but she is amazing behind the camera! She does a great job capturing all of the moments and we are in love with all of our engagement and wedding photos! They look like they could belong in a magazine! Before our engagement pictures and wedding day, Tessa took the time to talk with us about what types of pictures we wanted and made sure that we had the best experience. She did an amazing job checking in with us throughout the entire process! Tessa has amazing experience and comes with great recommendations for locations to take pictures as well as vendor recommendations, if needed. We cannot thank Tessa enough for being such an amazing photographer and are forever grateful that she captured our engagement and wedding photos! We can’t wait to work with Tessa again in the future!

Wedding Photographer of our Dreams!

Tessa was THE BEST photographer I could have asked for. From our engagement shoot, to communication, to capturing the wedding photos of our dream, she did phenomenal. Tessa has the sweetest, most genuine soul, and she carries the positivity with her throughout the entire day. Leading up to our wedding, she was flexible and responsive to all communication, and she was prepared with questions to ensure she captured our vision. On our wedding day, Tessa went above and beyond. Not only did she capture incredible shots, but she fully respected my boundaries and comfort levels. When I was done with pictures, she never pushed and let me be. She always gave her recommendations, but she only captured whatever I was comfortable with and never made us feel like we had to keep taking more pictures. After the wedding, we got our photos back so quickly, and I had handfuls of people share that our wedding photos were the best they had ever seen. The photos truly look like they are straight from a wedding magazine. I couldn’t recommend Tessa enough. She is hands down the most talented, kind hearted, professional, and loving person/photographer!

Look no further!

Look no further, you have found your engagement photographer! Tessa’s work is amazing and we could not be happier with our winter snow engagement session!! She was very flexible and accommodating (especially when waiting on the weather to snow!) and gave great direction during the photo shoot. Our photos captured our personalities and love, and she did an amazing job at making sure we had fun and were comfortable throughout the shoot. She got our photos to us quickly and touched up a few requests we had. She is WONDERFUL and I am so glad I trusted my gut to go with her!! 5+ stars! :)

VIP wedding vendor

Splurge on hiring Tessa for your wedding, it is worth every penny. Throughout the entire wedding planning process Tessa was an incredible resource by providing recommendations and answering any questions we had. Communication was always prompt, and she helped us come up with a professionally detailed day of timeline.

The photos.... Genuinely left us speechless. I had to look through all 1,000+ photos 3x to even begin selecting my favorites. Her careful eye and attention to detail are everything. Cannot recommend Tessa highly enough, she captured our wedding day perfectly and I will cherish these photos forever.

It's also important to mention that Tessa is a wedding pro. For every small bump in the road, Tessa had a plan B and took action immediately!

Great photos and a joy to work with!

Tessa at Starling Studio was such an MVP at our wedding! We were extremely fortunate to work with a talented wedding planner who sent us a handful of great options for photography vendors, and after very carefully researching and considering our options, we decided that Tessa was the best pick for us. Now, with the added benefit of hindsight, we can say that she was definitely the right choice. Tessa was on time and over-prepared, and her high-energy joyful attitude set a perfect tone. She took beautiful photos for both our engagement photos and wedding day — very vibrant, classic, professional photos — and sent us the final portfolio very promptly. We would absolutely love to work with Tessa again in the future and we’ll be recommending her to family and friends in the area. :)

100% would recommend Tessa!

My husband and I had the best experience working with Tessa for our engagement & wedding photos. The pictures were so beautiful and captured each moment perfectly. She was also a dream to work with – she made each session fun, knew exactly what shots to get (a true expert at her craft), provided clear direction, made great recommendations & was willing to help in any way we needed. She made us feel so comfortable, natural & happy, and that truly came through in our photos. We also had our dog with us for our engagement pics and not only was she patient with our dog, but the pictures were stunning. Overall it was an amazing experience working with Tessa & I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
