About Tessa Tadlock

Tessa Tadlock

Photographer

I don't just capture moments, I ✨create✨ them! I'm for the couples who want photos that look candid, but are actually directed so you never feel awkward!! If you're sarcastic or a dog person, I like you already...if you want emotive photos that feel like art...HIT MY LINE.

Shooting with me will feel like you two are the leads in a rom com and I'm the director! It's a really a collaborative process… but I do all the work and you just trust me and have fun, lol. I will be screaming behind the camera, excited when I get the shot I’m after. And no matter what chaos happens during your day I will be your girllll, happy and positive, joking around, and having fun creating magic!

Tessa is a Whole Vibe!!!

I honestly don’t even know where to start!! I first discovered Tessa’s work on Instagram, and I was hooked right away – instant follow! The best part? It turns out we live super close to each other, so we were able to meet up in person. We instantly bonded over our shared love for animals, and I was immediately drawn to her vibe and energy. When my now-husband and I got engaged a few months later, it was a no-brainer to have Tessa capture our wedding photos. And let me tell you, she did not disappoint!!! Now, if you're anything like me, being in front of a camera can feel a bit awkward. But working with Tessa was a total game-changer. She made us feel so comfortable and at ease the entire time. It honestly felt like we were just hanging out with a friend. She knew exactly what to say and do to ease our nerves and guide us into natural, seemingly candid shots. Let’s be real – everyone loves a good posed smiling photo, but if you want that, PLUS a mix of effortless, candid moments with movement that tell a story, Tessa is your girl. She knows how to create and capture a vibe! Let’s face it – being in front of a camera can be nerve-wracking for most people, but Tessa makes it feel like a breeze. Plus, I’m the type who tends to shy away from the spotlight (I basically blacked out my entire wedding day, lol), so having these beautiful moments captured by Tessa means the world to me. I couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out, and I can’t recommend her enough!!!
Tessa is pure magic! 3

From the moment I came across Tessa’s work, I knew she would be the perfect photographer to capture my wedding day. Her communication style was consistently supportive, reliable, and made me feel at ease throughout the entire process. Tessa's cinematic, artistic approach produced photographs from our wedding that were truly emotional, genuine, and pure - perfectly capturing the essence of our relationship. She made us feel comfortable and confident throughout, while also managing to beautifully document all the candid, heartfelt moments. I couldn’t imagine having anyone else there to preserve the memories of our special day. Tessa's unique, stunning style resulted in the most beautiful wedding photos I could have ever dreamed of. She’s an amazing photographer who I honestly can’t wait to work with again someday!
Exactly what we wished for and more

Tessa is magic. We spoke about a slightly off kilter shoot idea for our elopement, and she fully came on board and then some. She’s quick, encouraging, non judgmental, and truly just a good time. We will cherish these photos for the rest of our days. Forever grateful to sweet Tessa. xx

Tessa is hands down one of the best photographers out there. Her photos are effortlessly Pinterest worthy. the kind you want to frame, post, and look back on forever. She has an incredible way of capturing candid moments that feel natural rather than stiff or overly posed. One of the things that sets Tessa apart is how comfortable she makes you feel. There’s never that awkward, What do I do with my hands? moment. she knows exactly how to pose you in a way that feels easy and natural. Plus, she’s genuinely one of the kindest people you’ll meet. She hypes you up throughout the shoot, making sure you feel confident and so beautiful the entire time. Once you get your photos back you have one of those wow that’s really me? moments. Whether you’re looking for dreamy portraits, lifestyle shots, or wedding photos, Tessa delivers every single time. If you need a photographer who’s extremely talented, professional, and an all-around great person to work with, she’s the one. I can promise you won’t be disappointed!
