About this vendor
Hi! My name is Tecia McLaughlin, and I have been a wedding photographer for eight years. My sincere passion is capturing the moments that brought tears and laughter at each wedding.
I love creating a relaxed personable experience that will be obvious from the moment we meet. I want your event to be extremely documented, so I believe MORE is better! I want you to have all the shots you want, and the shots you didn't know you needed. Real, candid, artistic and fun is my approach. My pictures are bright, colorful and full of life.

If I could give 10 stars, I would!!
Tecia and SaVanna were absolutely incredible as our wedding photographer/videographer team. From the start, they were responsive, professional...
, and so easy to communicate with. On the wedding day they brought such a calm, fun energy that instantly put us at ease — they gave great direction when we needed it, but also captured so many genuine candid moments we didn’t even realize were happening.
Our photos are stunning and timeless, and the video perfectly tells the story of our day — all the emotion, the laughter, and the little details we worked so hard on. We got them on our honeymoon too, so super quick turn around! They made us feel comfortable in front of the camera, stayed organized with the timeline, and worked seamlessly in the background while still making sure we got every must-have shot.
If you’re considering booking Tecia and SaVanna, do it. We couldn’t be happier and will treasure these memories forever!

e boondocks. They hiked with us through the woods to capture breathtaking photos at the waterfall, despite tics and spiderwebs. The scorching heat didn't faze them, and they transformed our pictures into sheer beauty. What's even more incredible is that this was all arranged on very short notice, and they were incredibly reliable, showing up early and even lending a hand with my dress, as our wedding was an intimate affair with just my partner, our dogs, and us, and they made it perfect. We wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone seeking exceptional photography services!"
