About

Hi everyone!

I am thrilled that you are reading this because that means you are interested in me, which makes me smile.

I started flirting with photography in high school and learned all the fundamentals of the business and I quickly became addicted. Photography was my minor in college and I even worked for a few photographers after college. After many late nights, strategy sessions, and refresher courses; I opened up Theresa Elizabeth Photography in 2011.

A wedding is that once in a lifetime moment that should be able to be freshly relived every time the photographs are revisited. While we all love to have those traditional wedding portraits; I believe my work sets me apart because I am actually living it with you and capturing images of you experiencing the best day of your life. I want to provide you with more than just wedding photographs. I want you to confide in me during wedding planning and use my experience in the wedding industry as a tool to plan the wedding of your dreams. I love being a part of the entire journey: from colors, dresses, decor, cakes, and florals to shooting your engagements, bridals, boudoir and wedding. Weddings give me such an enormously happy feeling and I can't imagine living a life where I wasn't photographing them.

I am excited to hear from you and I look forward to working with you along the way.

Cheers!

Theresa Matherne

Can't recommend enough!

Theresa and her second shooter Victoria did a fantastic job at our wedding! We were able to breeze through our wedding party and family photos, freeing up some time for some additional portraits around the beautiful Derbes Mansion property. We rented a Rolls Royce for wedding day and Theresa planned a quick route down to the French Quarter to grab pictures in front of Armstrong park and French Quarter architecture during the cocktail hour. Later in the evening she helped us get professional photos with each of our various friend groups. Whenever there was impromptu fun happening on the dance floor, we noticed Theresa was there, working hard to capture it all. We highly recommend using Theresa to capture your wedding memories.

Best photographer ever.

Cannot say enough good things about Theresa. As the groom, I was a nervous wreck and I’m awkward as can be but Theresa has a way of making you feel comfortable and relaxed as if you’ve known her your whole life. The quality of the photos is phenomenal. She even made a detailed schedule of the day and everything went according to plan flawlessly. 10/10 would recommend to anyone and everyone!

Photographer of my Dreams!

#1 best vendor of our wedding day .
Theresa is everything you could want in a photographer to capture your day. She made every special moment come to light in our pictures. I can’t express enough how comfortable she made me and my fiancé and how easy she was to communicate with especially with us living out of state.
She was constantly coming up with ideas of how to capture the greatest shots. She was funny, charismatic, sweet and kind. She is the definition of a Boss Woman! Thank you for everything we are so in love with our pictures and everything you did for us.
Love Eric and Sandra Jones

Wedding Photographer

Theresa was amazing! Both my bridal portraits and wedding pictures were stunning. I couldn’t have asked for a better photographer. She truly takes pride in her work and it shows. My wedding album was beautiful and even my USB drive with all of my wedding photos was beautiful as well. She goes above and beyond to make you feel comfortable and she is super easy going and fun to work with. We were so pleased with her and her work that we will definitely be using her in the future. I definitely recommend Theresa, you will not be disappointed!

11/10 would recommend

I’m so glad we chose Theresa to photograph our special day. We felt it was important to her just as it was to us. Very professional and flexible. Able to think on her feet well. We would recommend her to anyone.

A true gem!

This one of a kind GEM has been with me through some battles to say the least! She stuck by me and i stuck by her! I wouldn’t have wanted another photographer for my day! She is all about the candid non-posey shots which is what we all want—let’s be real! The natural gorgeous shots! She is your winner winner chicken dinner if your looking for a photographer! She is the sweetest, kind hearted, and genuine person! She kept me sane on engagements, bridals, and wedding day! I’m going to miss her from the journey! But I consider her a friend now and we will work in the future for sure! Theeee ultimate best! :) 5+************! I’ll keep going while you scroll!

Delightful, Professional, and Beautiful Photos

We hired Theresa along with a second shooter for our wedding day. I was able to meet and share a meal with her prior to our big day. She and her colleague were amazing! They did great with our family portraits, individual sessions, the action shots, and the detail shots I wanted. They were so supportive and positive on the day and even made my husband (who doesn't love being the center of attention) comfortable. The photos came in a timely manner and were beautiful! Highly recommend!

Best photographer ever!

I knew from the moment I got engaged that choosing a photographer would be one of the most important decisions I would make while wedding planning. I am so beyond thankful that I found Theresa. From the moment we met her, I knew that she was exactly what we were looking for. Theresa suggested that we start our engagement shoot at a library on St. Charles because my fiancé proposed by sending me on a book scavenger hunt. These pictures captured our engagement perfectly. We finished off our shoot at Audubon Park at sunset. These shots were absolutely stunning. We even brought our fur baby along for some pictures. My fiancé and I were super nervous about this shoot because it had been awhile since either of us has been professionally photographed. Theresa ensured that we were super comfortable throughout the entire afternoon/evening. We truly had a blast. The day of the wedding was no different. Theresa was present throughout the entire day and made sure that we stuck to my strict timeline of having all photos taken before the reception. She even helped with meaningful details, like buttoning up my wedding gown when my sister and mom were having trouble. To say that I am impressed with Theresa would be an understatement. If you’re looking for a photographer for your special day, look no further than Theresa Elizabeth Photography!
