About

Choosing a wedding photographer is a big decision. You will spend more time with me than any other vendor. I want you to experience the best from start to finish and I work hard to make sure that happens.

My style of photography is a fusion of unobtrusive photojournalism with the glamour of lifestyle magazine portraiture. My aim is to capture the emotion and romance of your most important day together. To document your day as it unfolds, undisturbed by me or the camera.

I use a mixture of both color and black and white and use modern software techniques in post processing to fine tune your photos to be as polished as possible.

I offer an array of different styled digitally assembled albums that are custom designed to suit your particular style. Please feel free to drop me a line or give me a call to discuss your wedding and your specific needs.

I typically work in the Buffalo and western New York area however I have and am willing to travel. Call me at 716.258.0502 or contact me for further details.

Amazing. You need to hire her!

Tess Moran is an incredible photographer. Her work is truly art. I was an anxious out of town bride, and Tess could not have been more organized, prepared, and professional. She made our day seamless and kept me calm and relaxed, while still keeping everyone organized during a chaotic day! She is kind, friendly, and easy to work with. She does all of the work, so you don't have to worry or stress. Her pictures are AMAZING. She is a hard worker and aims to please. Wish I lived in Buffalo so I could use her more often!!

Tess and Mark are an absolutely incredible team to work with!! They make you feel so relaxed, all the while capturing every special moment of your wedding day. They have a fantastic energy and great sense of humor. My husband and I absolutely LOVED working with them. We will certainly be working with them in the future for any other photography needs that come along.

From the second we saw photos from our friends wedding we knew we had to get Tess to do ours! They capture such beautiful moments, not only with the people she is photographing, but the environment around them as well! We sought out Tess because we didn't want the typical posed type photos of our special day, we enjoy her easy going nature and how natural she makes being photographed feel! We had so much fun exploring the industrial ruins of Buffalo for our engagement shots and it really got us used to being photographed so that we were completely at ease on our big day! Tess even traveled over 4 hrs to shoot our wedding as well! From our first meeting to now working out every detail of our album, she has been a pleasure to work with! We love her work and would most definitely reccomed her to anyone looking for a photographer to capture their day in a unique and artful way!!

Tess Moran was so accommodating and helpful through the whole process. Her rate is more than commensurate to the value and quality of her pictures. I was more than pleased with the true artistry demonstrated in her photographs. My husband and I will treasure the images for the rest of our lives. I hope to have Tess even do photographs of a kids when we finally have some. This is saying a lot since we live in Atlanta, GA, but I would arrange a trip to see family in Buffalo to have her take my photos.

After meeting Tess (and Mark: 2nd shooter) at a Buffalo Bridal Expo, I was hooked. I went there with the expectation that I was going to be hassled and pressured by vendors all over the board, but was pleasantly surprised when Tess' work did the selling for her. I promise you, I stopped at only TWO photographers booths (as my expectations were HIGH) and Tess is the one who got my business. She understood, and respected, our vision and made it come to life on the day of our wedding. She took the time to meet with us, walk the venue, pick on-site locations of where to photograph, discuss what images we wanted captured, and even took some samples of what I liked about other pictures. The wedding day went smoothly and I attribute a lot of that to Tess. She was calming, reassuring, and fun! And with our bridal party of 20 people, she remained poised, organized and efficient! She captured every ounce of emotion and detail and I simply couldn't be happier!!

Tess was absolutely perfect! We couldn't have asked for a better photographer for our wedding. She really got to know us and took photos that were truly "us". She consistently checked in with us to see if we had any photos we wanted and to generally to ask if we were having a great time! The photos she took was breathtaking and we couldn't be happier!! Tess was an absolute delight to work with and we would (and have) recommended her to other people!

When I first contacted Tess through facebook she responded the very same day. I told her I was looking to get some pictures of my family (I have 3 kids 8, 5, and 1 1/2 yrs old) and she immediately showed such dedication and excitment to get the plans made. She was very accomodating to our schedule. She showed up on time and even though I was stressed beyong belief she managed to make the whole expierence relaxing and enjoyable!!!! She was very dedicated to the shoot and I did not feel rushed in any way. My children were very comfortbable around her because she was so patient and kind to them. We got our photos back in a very short amount of time which showed such great professionalism. I was speechless when I saw the photos! They brought tears to my eyes - the way she captured the moments of our family together were so beautiful. I could never express in words how thankful I am very her dedication, thoughtfulness, patience, and passion. She is a wonderful photographer!!!!!!!!
