About

Hi, I’m Teresa – proud mom of 3, wife, and super passionate photographer!

I am based in Thousand Oaks, California but travel anywhere a wedding might take me. My style is romantic, modern, bright + airy and most important, timeless. My team and I are full service wedding photographers that love to chase the light, are detail obsessed, totally organized, micro-stylists and believe in telling your story though our lens.

So now that you’re engaged, let the wedding planning begin! I’m here to help. Seriously, THE entire way! I can help with engagement session planning, locations, styling + outfits, vendor referrals, wedding day timeline, day of details – what’s necessary – what isn’t and what you should really expect on your wedding day. I have been lucky enough to photograph over 250 weddings.

I look forward to learning more about you and your fiancé!

The best of the best.

It's hard to know where to begin, because there are simply too many amazing things to say about Teresa and her work.
When my husband and I began our search for a wedding photographer back in 2019, Teresa was one of the first we discovered, and I was immediately in love with her light & airy, classic aesthetic. Her photos and overall style are so dreamy, natural and effortless. After speaking to her on the phone, I pretty much knew immediately that she was our girl. She is so kind, easy to talk to, caring, and most importantly, honest. We were one of the many couples faced with the interruption of covid-19, and had to postpone our wedding a full year. Teresa was more than understanding and reassuring, which eased so much of the stress we faced at that time.
A comment I received from multiple people on my wedding day was how calm I seemed. And I have to say, I credit 100% of that to Teresa. Leading up to the wedding, she made me feel so prepared and at ease. When wedding day arrived, she carried that sense of calm with her from start to finish. Shooting with Teresa feels like shooting with a good friend you've known forever. She is so sweet, funny, organized, and professional. Wedding day can be SO stressful, but Teresa never let me or anyone give into that at any time. She keeps you laughing, and brings an energy that every bride needs on her big day.
The timeline she created for our day was completely seamless, and the day just felt so easy with her direction and care. The amount of people that also recognized this about her and made a point to tell me throughout my wedding day only further confirmed that she is truly amazing at what she does. She is the real deal.
My wedding (and engagement) photos are something out of a dream. In fact, they are even better than what I dreamed of for so long. She captured the most special moments of our life so beautifully and organically, and we will cherish them forever. They are classic and timeless, and I never fail to get emotional any time I look at them.
From the beginning, Teresa never felt like a vendor we hired, she felt like family. Words can never express how thankful I am for her and the experience she gave us, or how grateful we feel that she will be in our lives for years and years to come, capturing more of our life's precious moments.
Our wedding day was truly perfect, and we owe SO much of it to Teresa and her hard work. We not only have these photos that we love, cherish, and will show our children someday, but we gained a dear friend in the process.
I would recommend her to everyone under the sun.
Thank you Teresa, from the bottom of our hearts.

Omg amazing!

She is absolutely amazing. She makes you feel comfortable, beautiful, and well...makes it fun. For us, picture taking isn't super comfortable but she just made us laugh and have so much fun...our joy really came through her camera. If I could give her a million stars I would!

Spectacular Wedding Photographer

I found Teresa on a Facebook ad and fell in love with her pictures. She had the exact wedding theme I was going for: romantic, whimsical, modern and unique. I loved working with her, she was always on time, stuck to the schedule you plan out together, she is very professional and personable at the same time. She is very detailed and cares A LOT about her work and how you want things on your special day. She is an AMAZING person to have as your wedding photographer and for any other event as well. Thank you Teresa for capturing memorable moments for the best day of my life.

Absolutely Amazing

Teresa went above and beyond for our special day. She put both mine and my husband's minds at ease with her extremely relaxed demeanor and helped keep us calm in the stress of the day. From the engagement session to our wedding day, my husband and I were so nervous, as we have never been comfortable in front of the camera. Teresa and her team are extremely professional and brought out the best in absolutely everyone she photographed. We are so sad that our special day went so quickly but we have Teresa's priceless photos to remind us of the perfect wedding day. We look forward to working with Teresa again on the next big milestones in our lives. Thank you so much Teresa!

Amazing photos and wonderful to work with!

Teresa was wonderful to work with from start to finish. Our first conversation was via facetime. She was friendly and warm and I instantly felt like she was someone I'd known for awhile rather than someone I had just met. Her professionalism is top notch. She is prompt with returning emails, was very clear in what she needed from us (things to bring to the wedding, what to wear to the engagement shoot, etc) and she was very enthusiastic about us bringing our dog along for our engagement shoot.

On the actual wedding day, there were of course a few hiccups in terms of the timeline (something that we needed before photos could begin had not arrived) and Teresa made sure that I was not stressed about it and assured me that we'd be able to make up the time. And she was right. Once the delivery came, she was able to work quickly and efficiently. We never felt rushed and everything turned out great! I have a large and interesting (for lack of better word) family and she completely understood and made sure to get all of the various family combinations that we needed. She and her team were friendly, fun, and incredibly easy to work with that day. We got our sneak peaks back in less than a week after the wedding (such a treat!) and everyone that has seen them cannot stop raving about them. I'd 100% recommend her to anyone that asked!

Teresa is a miracle worker!

We worked with Teresa for our engagement shoot. Teresa was so bubbly and kind, which made us feel so comfortable. We were both extremely nervous as we’re not big picture takers. The whole shoot flowed so nicely and it felt as if we knew Teresa for years. The venue she helped us choose was gorgeous and everything I was looking for. Her editing style is by far the best that I’ve seen. I love the bright and airy look of our pictures. She was able to capture such beautiful shots as well as moments where we are simply being ourselves. We will cherish these pictures for a lifetime. Thank you Teresa for giving us such beautiful pictures and memories to hold on to. We will definitely be back for more shoots in our future!

Love Teresa! Such an amazing photographer! She did our engagement shoot and wedding and we could not be happier! Such a fun person to work with as well as her assistants! Shooting with Teresa is like hanging with your good friend and having a fun time. She’s super professional and knows how to make you look natural while getting the best shots! I cannot say enough good things about Teresa! We didn’t stress one second knowing she had our back with photographing one of the most important days of our lives! Highly recommend if you’re looking for great photographer who understands how to work with people and makes being photographed all day fun!
