Tess is all about human connection, natural light and unbridled love. An experienced photojournalist in a former life, she brings a unique and authentic eye to wedding photography, effortlessly capturing the full spectrum of emotion and magic that unfolds in front of her lens.
Adopting a ‘fly on the wall’ approach for much of your day, photographing those blink-and-you-miss-it moments of human connection, Tess unobtrusively documents each celebration with her unique blend of romance, timelessness and fun. Tess intuitively understands that the best photography happens when her couples are relaxed and lost in the moment.
A master of beautiful storytelling, inspired by editorial and high fashion framing, she brings a relaxed yet unexpected artfulness to your portraits. There’s no stiff compositions or posing; including those aspects of the day (like bridal party shots) that can sometimes feel overly arranged or awkward.
With a skill for capturing memories honestly and emotively, Tess’s work transcends genres of ‘wedding’ or ‘documentary’ photography to offer a timeless portrait of love and connection to be cherished forever.
