    Engagement Photos

    Truly the BEST photographer I've ever worked with. She was fun, energetic and made the whole experience so much fun! She found ways to make you laugh throughout the entire shoot. Great communication and responsiveness. 10/10 would recommend!

    Best photographer ever

    My fiancé and I absolutely loved working with with Tessa! I was nervous about being in front of a camera but she made everything so easy! She is a true professional and I felt very comfortable working with her.

    Tessa was very organized and knew exactly what shots to take. She was a joy to work with and was able to work with us to find the best options for our budget.
    She went above and beyond to get the photographs to us and overall gave us a magical experience!

    recommend for proposals!

    Tessa helped capture my beach-side proposal! She was very helpful and thorough in the planning phase, and came through with beautiful pictures in the end. During the shoot, she was very good at finding great spots and capturing the moment. Highly recommend for proposals!

    SUCH a pleasure

    Tessa was our photographer for our elopement ceremony earlier this month. My husband and I could not be happier with our experience with her! She was so helpful in guiding us through the day and the wedding process overall. Her communication with us was amazing, and most importantly, our wedding photos are GORGEOUS. I am SO happy she was the photographer we chose to document the best day of our lives.

    Hi Nicole,
    It was such a joy to meet you both and share in your day!!! It was an honor to be your photographer :)

    Great work!

    We can not thank Tessa enough! She was able to capture our day in the most perfect way! We appreciate her attention to details and creative attitude. When we got our photos we were brought to tears as we were able to relive our wedding day- this is exactly what we were looking for when we searched for a photographer.
    Before the wedding Tessa sat down with us and took the time to get to know us. This allowed her to capture our personality as a couple during the wedding. Taking time to get to know Tessa allowed us to be comfortable with her, I think that’s one of the reasons she got such great photos of us.

    Tessa Maxine Photography's reply:

    Hi Sofya,
    Thank you so much for your kind words it was a joy to be a part of your day and an honor to get to know you both! xoxo Tessa Maxine

    We loved working with Tessa

    Tessa, you went above and beyond at our wedding. It wasn’t an easy job. We went from planning an all outdoor natural light photo shoot to an indoor living room and even managed to take great shots outside in the rain while holding an umbrella in one hand and your camera in another. Your critical thinking skills, decisions and direction were impressive. You have made everything work for us including making sure we got all important and requested shots. We love the sneak peeks you sent us and can’t wait to see the rest.
    YOU ARE AMAZING!

    Tessa Maxine Photography's reply:

    Hi Anya,
    You two were amazing! You adjusted to easily to so many necessary changes due to the weather and embraced everything with grace and joy! Your wedding day was gorgeous and I enjoyed being there to document everything for you! xoxo Tessa Maxine

    Talented, Professional, Inspired!

    From my first conversation with Tessa, I knew she was the perfect choice for our photographer. I felt as if I was talking with an old friend. She was reliable and professional every step of the way. Our engagement and wedding photos are absolutely gorgeous. She is passionate about what she does and it shows. We're overjoyed with our experience and would highly recommend her to anyone looking to make their special day perfect!

    Tessa Maxine Photography's reply:

    Hi Allison,
    I feel the same way, from our first conversation I became excited for your wedding and I really appreciate the trust that you two placed in me to capture your engagement and wedding day photos! I loved every minute of your day! xoxo Tessa Maxine

    Perfection

    Tessa was just absolutely amazing! She made us feel super comfortable when taking the pictures, she answer all my questions regarding the shoot and was super fast to respond to my emails. She made sure we had the best light in the location we choose and she was super interested in learning about us as a couple. I would recommend her 1000%. Super professional and a absolute pleasure to have worked with her.

    Tessa Maxine Photography's reply:

    Hi Melanny,
    Thank you so much for trusting me with your engagement photos! You two are adorable and a joy to be around!

    Amazing Photographer

    I had the pleasure of working with Tessa on a wedding at Fairchild Garden. Her attention to detail and professionalism were amazing. Her assistant and second shooter were a joy to work with and made the day go smooth. Being a wedding planner I know the important role a photographer has at a wedding, with that said, I highly recommend Tessa for your next wedding or event.

    Tessa Maxine Photography's reply:

    Hi Linda,
    It was a complete joy to work with you and I hope to do so again in the near future! xoxo Tessa Maxine

    I first came across Tessa's work when she photographed an acquaintance of mine, and I immediately fell in love with her work. Upon meeting with Tessa for the first time, it was like having coffee with an old friend. Tessa has the ability to connect with people in such a genuine way, and her passion for her work is very evident. She strives and succeeds in telling a love story though her beautiful photographs . Working with her was also a very easy process. She was always early to our sessions (engagement and wedding), answered all communications very quickly, and delivered our photos on time.

    Tessa Maxine Photography's reply:

    Hi Kristine,
    Thank you so very much for your kinds words! It was a joy to capture your big day and to share in all the laughter and love that surrounds you! xoxo, Tessa Maxine

    We are so happy we choose Tessa as our wedding photographer; she was by far my favorite vendor. She is incredibly sweet and genuine. She makes you feel comfortable, even if being photographed really isn't your thing. She is also organized and on top of things (which is helpful for an overly organized bride!). And not to mention her photographs are gorgeous. Our two dogs were in our engagement photos and our wedding and Tessa did such a great job photographing them (she loves dogs too). I cannot say enough good things about Tessa and would highly recommend her.

    Hi Ashley,
    I so enjoyed getting to know you both in the months leading up to your wedding and sharing in your day! xoxo Tessa Maxine

    Hiring Tessa as our photographer was the BEST (and easiest) decision we made for our wedding. From the moment we met her and saw her beautiful photography, my husband and I both agreed she was the photographer for us! During our engagement shoot she skillfully helped us get comfortable in front of the camera. During the wedding day, she was a calm, helpful presence. Our photographs turned out amazingly, we love them and our family and friends love them!

    Tessa Maxine Photography's reply:

    Hi Laren, I could not have asked for a better couple to work with than you two. I loved the intent and emotion that you brought to your day and it has been a joy to share in your lives,
    xoxo

    I loved working with Tessa. She made it her mission to get to know me and my now husband and make sure she captured our day the way we wanted. Her kind personality and sweet demeanor only made her more fun to work with. It's obvious that she absolutely loves what she does. I would highly recommend Tessa to anyone!

    I don’t even know where to begin or how to create a review that gives Tessa the credit that she deserves. Tessa was such a wonderful person to work with and made every moment leading up to our wedding and our wedding day so exciting and fun. From the very beginning she had our best interest and really strived to give us everything we could ever want in our photos. She wasn’t just our photographer, she was someone who was there to here our story and offer any help or advice we could think of concerning the wedding. She was so great at envisioning the perfect shots, guiding us through poses and making us feel so natural and comfortable. She had us and our entire wedding party laughing and was such a great positive energy to add to the crazy, busy day. It has been six months since our wedding and we still find ourselves looking through our photos in amazement of how beautifully Tessa captured the day. Tessa is a brilliant photographer and an even more brilliant person. We will be forever grateful of the gift she has given us of being able to relive our wedding over and over again.

    Not just a photographer, Tessa is an artist and a friend too. Upon our first meeting, it was clear she has a skilled eye for photography and is really easy to talk to and ideate with. Throughout our year of working together, she made my groom and I totally comfortable. She’s always responsive and willing to be a “gut check” for random wedding questions I had related to day-of logistics, which I greatly appreciated. Tessa has a lot of experience from capturing weddings, and also being a bride herself, so I appreciated that she could take the lead and set expectations with other vendors. Thanks for making our big day seamless!

    Aside from her beautiful work which you can clearly see in her photos, Tessa is also the sweetest, most wonderful photographer to work with. She does a fantastic job of planning with you for your big day and catching the details that are most important to you. She was by far my favorite vendor to work with, and her pictures that came of it were stunning!

    Tessa is an amazing photography and has a passion for this field of work that is easy to see when you work with her. She not only took amazing pictures during our photo shoot but when above and beyond to coordinate w my (now) fiancé the picture perfect surprise engagement. I was so glad that Tessa was there to catch the smile, tears and this amazing moment for Joel and I. The pictures were amazing, she was so great to work with and I highly recommend her for any special moments.

    From the first consultation meeting through our engagement photos, more planning meetings and the wedding day itself, we were beyond thrilled with Tessa! She was willing to do whatever it took to get a good shot, including climbing trees and fences. We absolutely loved working with her! She has such an artistic eye which makes her photos even more beautiful. It was so relaxing knowing that my photographer understood my vision and even helped shape it into something better! I didn't expect her to continue taking pictures throughout the reception, but she took many candid shots of our guests on the dance floor and I am so glad she did because those pictures captured how much fun everyone was having. We will truly treasure these pictures forever. Tessa is genuine and kind and has an intense passion for wedding photography. I would recommend her to anyone that wants a photographer that will take their vision and enhance it beyond their expectations. She captured the most important day of our life so beautifully. <3

    My daughter and her fiancee’ were married this past October and had chosen Tessa Maxine as their photographer. Tessa had taken their engagement photos and she had done such a beautiful job with those that we knew that the wedding photos would be even more amazing. We weren’t disappointed.
    Tessa arrived at the hotel where everyone was getting ready the morning of the wedding to take the “ Pre-Ceremony” pictures. She was prompt, friendly, kind, helpful and unobtrusive. We all immediately felt comfortable and at ease with her.

    The wedding was outdoors in a park on a beautiful, but COLD, fall day. I was disappointed with the cold temperature and especially with the mostly cloudy skies because so many of the photos would be taken outside, but Tessa insisted that the pictures would come out much better in the cloudy, more natural lighting. She was right. She has an eye for beauty and detail and she artistically composed some absolutely gorgeous photos.

    The day seemed to fly by, but thankfully we were relaxed knowing Tessa was in control. She took a great mix of formal, family, artistic, and candid shots. We have pictures of all of our guests and the candid pictures of the crowd dancing at the reception are hilarious! There are so many great pictures, it will take volumes to hold them all. Thanks to Tessa, we have beautiful photos that reflect the joy, the laughter, and the love - the true essence - of the day.

    If you are searching for a wedding photographer, look no further! You can trust that Tessa will capture all of your special moments! You won’t be disappointed!

    I worked with Tessa for a stylized shoot this fall. Not only is she highly personable, she knows what she is doing. She knew what poses she wanted to do and also went with the flow when things didn't go as planned (such as a cat playing with the veil). Tessa is so sweet and a fabulous photographer. I can't wait to use her for the real thing one day.

    Beware!!!!

    My husband and I had a great experience during our wedding with Tessa and her team. We received the picture gallery on time. however; Tessa has gone MIA and has not provided us with out WEDDING VIDEO. I have called, emailed and contacted her through all the social media platforms and I have not heard from her. This is totally unprofessional. If I do not receive my video I will get an attorney and also so not a complaint to the business bureau. Please be aware of this.
