Wedding and Elopement Photography

TESSA THEWES

PHOTOGRAPHER

Welcome to my little online corner! I'm Tessa, a wedding and elopement photographer, based in Southern California. My style is incredibly candid and honest, I aim to capture the raw and real emotions in that very moment. I love shooting in all circumstances- rain, snow, natural light, you name it. I feel there’s beauty in being challenged by your environment. Finding the right angles and new perspectives in order to capture the authentic moment.

What. A. Dream. Tessa was recommended to me by another photographer and I am SO thankful! Not only is she incredibly talented in taking photos you are sure to love, she's a bright and wonderful personality that creates a chill and fun experience. Will definitely come back to her for many sessions to come!

Holy wow. So I actually stumbled upon Tessa in an instagram contest, (she was posting as many entries as I was lol) I was in the midst of searching for a photographer that would perfectly capture our wedding as I envisioned in my head. Tessa's raw, moody and romantic captures are everything we wanted and more. Not only does Tessa's talent show in every click, she is also one of the most caring and down to earth human's I've come to know. She keeps the vibes up and always is having a good time, which rubs off on everyone around her. I'm so grateful to have met Tessa, we were soo lucky to have her celebrate with us on our big day!

Tessa is an incredible person and an amazing photographer. I have worked with Tessa for various photography needs and am always impressed with her work. She is very engaged in the photography session and makes you feel comfortable, worthy and beautiful. Tessa is extremely easy to work with and will go out of her way to accommodate your needs! My fiancé and I did an engagement shoot recently, we are a little awkward when it comes to photos, but Tessa stepped in, hyped us up and made us feel like models! This girl is so good I traveled 1100 miles to do a photo session with her! I would highly recommend Tessa for all photography needs!
