Tessa was the perfect photographer and exceeded my expectations. The photos are amazing, she was willing to assist in helping it remain a surprise, and was so easy to work with. We’re so thankful for her help!
Look no further, you have found your engagement photographer! Tessa’s work is amazing and we could not be happier with our winter snow engagement session!! She was very flexible and accommodating (especially when waiting on the weather to snow!), and gave great direction during the photo shoot. Our photos captured our personalities and love, and she did an amazing job at making sure we had fun and were comfortable throughout the shoot. She got our photos to us quickly and touched up a few requests we had. She is WONDERFUL!!
Tessa was amazing! She managed to capture all the love and happiness from our wedding day, and she has given us photos of our memories that we will be able to look back on forever. Her talent speaks for itself, but what you don’t see in her photos is what a kind and genuine person she is. From the beginning, she created a comfortable and happy environment. Her communication was great, and her passion for her work shines through. All of my guests at the wedding were raving about how great she was. On the day she was organized, on time, and prepared, and she was such a calm presence throughout the craziness of the wedding day. We were blown away by how amazing the pictures turned out, and we are continued to be blown away every time we look back on them. You will not regret booking with Tessa. I couldn’t have asked for more beautiful photos.
There are not enough words to describe how beautifully Tessa captures special moments. My husband and I have never enjoyed photoshoots and honestly we were not looking forward to that part of the wedding day, but after our engagement session with Tessa we were so excited!!! We had so much fun during our engagement session- it didn’t even feel like we were getting our picture taken! And then we saw the product- WOW, her photos captured natural and genuine moments that made them all the more special. On our wedding day we had a blast with Tessa- she was timely and organized and got all the shots we wanted done so quickly! We wanted to prioritize getting to our happy hour and she was able to capture all our photos within the time frame allowed. When we got our wedding album we could not be happier. Tessa was able to capture exactly what we wanted and more. We now get to look back on our favorite day and experience it again through these gorgeous photos- we are so lucky and grateful to have worked with her. We have recommended her to everyone we know looking for a photographer- bottom line you need to book her!!!!!
If you want to feel seen on your wedding day, book with Tessa. Her eye for storytelling made us relive a moment in time we will always cherish. From first meeting her in person during our engagement session we felt comfortable letting our guard down and being ourselves in front of the camera. If you're not a huge photo person she will pose you in a style where you not only feel cool you look like you are in Vogue.
P.S. We gave her this large box of details (we're suckers for a good layflat) and she seriously created the most gorgeous laylat photos I've ever seen. She is the REAL DEAL!!!
Splurge on hiring Tessa for your wedding, it is worth every penny. Throughout the entire wedding planning process Tessa was an incredible resource by providing recommendations and answering any questions we had. Communication was always prompt, and she helped us come up with a professionally detailed day of timeline.
The photos.... Genuinely left us speechless. I had to look through all 1,000+ photos 3x to even begin selecting my favorites. Her careful eye and attention to detail are everything. Cannot recommend Tessa highly enough, she captured our wedding day perfectly and I will cherish these photos forever.
It's also important to mention that Tessa is a wedding pro. For every small bump in the road, Tessa had a plan B and took action immediately!
When it was time for my fiance and I to book our wedding day photographer we had already worked with Tessa at Starling Studio for an engagement session. We were both blown away with how comfortable she made us feel and how incredible out photos turned out. We knew that if we did not chose her as our photographer for our big day we would always be comparing our photos and our experience to what she would have provided.
From the beginning Tessa's communication was great. She invests in her clients lives and even checked in on us from time to time on instagram. Every time we worked with her it was like catching up with an old friend with laughs and conversations happening in between each take. This was so important for us to feel comfortable on our wedding day.
The impact of using Tessa to document our wedding day can't be measured in words but I will do my best! She knows what is important. She makes every one feel like a natural and captures artistic elements and details that you wouldn't even think of. She worked with the young children in our bridal party and took amazing photos of them that we will cherish forever. She also focused attention on our grandparents, family, and friends at the reception. I value those photos of my grandparents so much and thought it was so thoughtful of her to include in our album.
Her second shooter came prepared with all of the things you would need to make sure the bride stays gorgeous all day and even helped fan me during the heat. They both went the extra mile all day for not only the bride and groom, but additional family who needed direction and other vendors when they needed it.
If there is one thing you want to invest in for your big day, it is Tessa. I will always have these photos to look back on and to enjoy. She returned our photos with unprecedented speed and every single one is gorgeous. I have never been happier with a decision and I know that I will continue to book with Tessa to document all of our future life moments.
Tessa was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. She was prompt with answers to our questions and is thorough with the info she provides. When our wedding day came, she was so friendly and cheerful, she was helpful, encouraging, and our pictures....they are simply beautiful.
Starling Studio captured one of our most amazing moment’s in our lifetime. Our wedding day! We were blown away with what Tessa did for our surprise wedding event! Her creativity and spontaneity was absolutely perfect. So happy with everything she did for us and by far exceeded our expectations.
Tessa at Starling Studio was such an MVP at our wedding! We were extremely fortunate to work with a talented wedding planner who sent us a handful of great options for photography vendors, and after very carefully researching and considering our options, we decided that Tessa was the best pick for us. Now, with the added benefit of hindsight, we can say that she was definitely the right choice. Tessa was on time and over-prepared, and her high-energy joyful attitude set a perfect tone. She took beautiful photos for both our engagement photos and wedding day — very vibrant, classic, professional photos — and sent us the final portfolio very promptly. We would absolutely love to work with Tessa again in the future and we’ll be recommending her to family and friends in the area. :)
My fiancé and I booked Tessa for our engagement shoot. Tessa is very personable, professional, and skilled in her craft. She was very good at cueing us for our engagement photos and was clear in her direction. I think that some things, such as turnaround time and payment could have been communicated more clearly upfront, but there were no issues or delays in that regard. Also, it might have been nice to have a phone call leading up to the day of our photoshoot to touch base on our vision and review our preferences for the photos since an hour of photo-taking time goes by so quickly. Overall, we are happy with our photos and appreciate Tessa's hard work!
My husband and I had the best experience working with Tessa for our engagement & wedding photos. The pictures were so beautiful and captured each moment perfectly. She was also a dream to work with – she made each session fun, knew exactly what shots to get (a true expert at her craft), provided clear direction, made great recommendations & was willing to help in any way we needed. She made us feel so comfortable, natural & happy, and that truly came through in our photos. We also had our dog with us for our engagement pics and not only was she patient with our dog, but the pictures were stunning. Overall it was an amazing experience working with Tessa & I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer!!
When I started looking for an engagement photographer for my daughter, I came across Tessa's site and was impressed with her work. She was so sweet and so professional, and the engagement photos were just gorgeous!! We could not have asked for a better experience or more beautiful photos. She is the first person we will call when we book a venue. 100% recommend!!!!
My husband and I had the opportunity to work with Tessa at Starling Studio for our wedding photography. We were so delighted with the results and could not be more grateful for her and her hard work. Tessa brings passion, positivity, and talent to each interaction that shines through into her final product. We will cherish these photos forever and ever!!
Tessa is the most kind-hearted individual. She is always so cheerful and knows how to make each person feel at ease. Our friends and family raved to us about how wonderful she was and how her energy made the day even more fun. Tessa was involved in our planning process from the moment we started working together. She helped us a great deal with our timeline and made us feel prepared that we thought possible for the day of the wedding. Her professionalism is off the charts, and she continually impressed us with her talent and creativity.
Each time we received photos from Tessa, I was blown away by her ability not just to photograph a beautiful day, but to encapsulate the true emotion, love, and joy of each moment. She gave us the greatest gift for our wedding, a tangible memory of the day in those moments she captured. We are able to look back on the day and relive each moment together as if it were happening all over again. We could not recommend Tessa enough for any event- wedding, engagement, family photos, etc. She is extremely talented and a phenomenal person to work with!
Tessa is a stand out wedding photographer. She was easy to communicate with, a delightful ray of light during our engagement photo session and wedding day, and a consummate professional. Her photos are STUNNING. We knew from the moment we met her that she was a perfect fit for us and we were even more ecstatic to see her amazing finished product. Without a doubt one of the best vendors we worked with and I would absolutely recommend her to anybody. She made us feel at home, comfortable, supported, and full of joy - a combination for an amazing photography experience.
We just received our photos our engagement shoot with Tessa. They are something out of a magazine. The second we met her, we knew she was our wedding photographer. Not only did she make the shoot such a blast, but the photos were more beautiful than we could have imagined. She is an absolute ray of sunshine and is unbelievably talented. Tessa is the best in the business.
I recently had the privilege of working with Tessa at Starling Studio as the photographer for my wedding, and I cannot express how thrilled my husband and I are with the results. Her professionalism, creativity, and passion for her craft shone through every step of the process, and the final product exceeded all of our expectations.
Tessa's warm and friendly personality instantly put us at ease. She took the time to get to know us as a couple, understand our vision, and truly connect with us on a personal level. This personal touch made our wedding day feel even more special, and it is reflected in the photographs she captured.
What sets Tessa apart is her ability to tell a story through her photographs. Looking through our wedding album feels like reliving the day all over again. Her shots are not just snapshots; they are narratives that convey the emotion, love, and joy of our wedding day. Tessa's talent for storytelling through her lens is truly remarkable.
Thank you, Tessa, for turning our wedding day into a visual masterpiece. You are truly a gem in the world of wedding photography, and we feel privileged to have had you as our photographer.
Tessa is the MVP of photography. She is such a sweetheart and genuinely cares about each of her clients. We had so much fun at our engagement session which was a pleasant surprise! My (now) husband haaaates taking pictures / being in front of a camera and Tessa helped him have a “real” smile the entire time and laugh his way through the session. She also helped keep us both calm throughout the family photos during the wedding and made the day flow so smoothly. We could say a million more wonderful things about Tessa, and cannot wait to work with her again :)
Tessa is so amazing at what she does! We have had two sessions together and both we so much fun!
Getting in front of a camera can be scary and sometimes feel awkward but she helps to make you feel comfortable throughout the session. I appreciate her time and the energy she puts into her work - you can tell she really loves and enjoys what she does!
Thank you Tessa for making these perfect engagement photos an everlasting memory!
We had such a wonderful experience with Tessa for our engagement shoot. She is so kind and patient, and truly a joy to work with. Her photos are GORGEOUS and showcase her talent perfectly. I’m already planning the next opportunity to have her take more photos for us. Don’t hesitate, you will be so happy with the results!
Tessa is AMAZING!! She is super sweet and made us feel very comfortable during our engagement photoshoot. Our photos turned out beautiful and we could not have asked for a better photographer! HIGHLY RECOMMEND Tessa & Starling Studio!
We selected Starling Studio for our wedding photographer after reviewing her incredible work and outstanding reviews. Starling Studio has been nominated and won “Best of Columbus Weddings” in 2021 and 2022. Her inquiry process was very user friendly and she was quick to respond and provide any initial details. Tessa is very personable and is genuine to make lasting relationships with all her clients. She was always willing to help us navigate the planning process, offering vendor lists and answering emails to all of our questions. She made the entire process easier to navigate. When planning our engagement and wedding photos, she provided suggested locations based on our likes and style. She even provided outfit recommendations. It’s uncanny to find someone who makes you feel so comfortable in front of the lens, while effortlessly capturing the depth of love between couples. We instantly connected and she became our biggest cheerleader to organize details, locations and lighting. It’s clear to see the talent in her photos, but what radiates the most is the time she will spend making sure the images and day are perfect. Our entire family and friends commented how personable and calm she was on the day of our wedding. She connected with all of our vendors on the day of to make it seamless to maintain timelines. Selecting Starling Studio for your special moments is sure to be the best decision. Thank you Tessa!
Tessa is the best photographer a couple could ask for!! She has a warm, welcoming personality that instantly makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera. She provides clear suggestions for how to place your hands/face/etc during the photos so she captures your best angle. Tessa is a seasoned pro who knows just what questions to ask to make sure she has all of the details for the day and can easily give recommendations. She seamlessly navigated our wedding day, directing family to come in and out of photos with ease. On top of all of that, her photos are AMAZING--she captured the day so perfectly! I can't recommend Tessa enough!!
I can’t recommend Tessa & Starling Studio enough! If you are looking for the best of the best, you have found it. Not only are her pictures truly beautiful, she was able capture our special day and all the emotions so well! Her work speaks for its self. On top of that, Tessa is the best! She is so sweet, helpful, and personable. From helping us with vendor suggestions way before the wedding date, making us feel so comfortable at our engagement sessions, and helping our wedding day go super smoothly. She is the whole package! All of our wedding party couldn’t stop raving about her!! Having Tessa as your wedding photographer feels like you are just hanging out with another friend on your wedding day, while they take the most amazing pictures ever. My husband and I couldn’t have been happier picking Starling Studio as our wedding photographer. I would do it all over again! In fact, I know she will be taking all our family photos from here on out 😊
Tessa did an incredible job for our engagement shoot. It was our first photoshoot and she made us feel so comfortable! We had a lot of fun during the experience. The weather was dark and gloomy but our photos turned so bright and beautiful! Highly recommend!
Tessa was absoultely unbelievable for out engagement photos + wedding. We loved getting to know Tessa at our engagements shoot. Her warm, inviting energy made us feel so comfortable. My husanbd is defintely a bit camera shy but Tessa made him fel at ease.
Tessa is so knowledgable in all things locations, lighting, posing that every photo looked natural and effortless. She also has was so aware of how we were feeling throughout the day. We felt how deeply she cared about us and our entire wedding party.
Tessa has a beautiful talent of artistically capturing small, intimate details that made our wedding day so special. She found a way of memorializing a hand squeeze, a laugh with our guests, our dresses moving in the wind so well that the joy and love we felt that day is forever preserved.
If I could give Starling Studio a million more starts I would.
Where do I begin?! Tessa is perfect! Her photography style is absolutely gorgeous and I promise you will not be disappointed. Planning a wedding is very stressful and expensive (at least for me it was haha) and she is worth every penny! She is extremely knowledgeable, kind, and willing to help you through the whole process! Also her second photographer Paige was just as amazing! Cannot recommend enough! I’m so happy with all my photos!
Will likely be crying while writing this review because we are that grateful to have had Tessa as our wedding photographer! From the moment we met at our engagement shoot we immediately felt so comfortable and that we were in GREAT hands. During the most uncertain or stressful parts of wedding planner, knowing we had Tessa to guide us made us feel empowered. On our wedding day, Tessa captured our incredible romantic moments, all the perfect little details, and truly had us laughing and crying at the same time out of pure joy. As a bride, having Tessa to guide me through such a fast-moving day was such a comfort that I feel to lucky to have had. Her communication, warmth, kindness and skill cannot be matched!! I will never forget how she made us feel on our wedding day. She shared a sneak peak of photos after the wedding and posted a reel video on Instagram that we have watched ~1000 times so far. Tessa is THE BEST choice we made for our wedding and I could not recommend her more. Bonus, once you follow her on Instagram you will be become obsessed with her sweet family photos and her goofy girls!!
Where do I begin? Tessa is amazing...and her photos are UNREAL beautiful! Shooting with her is liking sharing a bottle of wine with an old friend...a best friend, in fact! She's a warm hug at just the right moment! Her eye for detail is amazing and her photos show it! She is a dream to work with! Her communication and response time is spot on! I can't think of ANY reason to look elsewhere. She nailed our engagement photos and our wedding photos were even better (if that's possible)! We can't wait to work with Tessa again! She's a new friend for life! Beautiful! Beautiful! Beautiful!
Tessa is, by FAR, the BEST investment that we made for our day. Hands down. Her talent - which is absolutely immense - is only outdone by her warmth, energy, and approachability, which allowed my wife and I to feel very natural in front of the camera from our engagement session to our destination wedding. And for my LGBTQ+ brides/grooms out there - Tessa not only talks the talk, she WALKS the WALK. So THANK YOU, Tessa, for lending us your beautiful heart and eye for photography. We recommend you over and over again in hopes that everyone gets a chance to have a photographer that is as compassionate, talented, inclusive, helpful, and irreplaceable as you were on the BEST day of our lives. We love you like family.
Tessa is THE photographer. She checked every box for my special day and I am so glad that my husband and I found her. She goes above and beyond to make couples feel comfortable and amazing! Her attention to fine detail is one of a kind. I would recommend her to any couple who is looking for unforgettable beautiful pictures. She made the process so smooth and easy, it was such a relief to know we were in great hands with something so special for us. I promise you won't regret choosing her!
Tessa honestly deserves a million star option because she's that amazing! I could not have asked for a better photographer for our wedding. She's so good at what she does. She answers messages quickly, she's professional and organized, and her quality of work is the best of the best!
There are not enough words to describe Tessa and her photography! She is so kind and has a true talent. We could not have asked for anyone better! Tessa helped to make our day so special by capturing everything from the little small details to the candid moments that no one thought was captured on camera. All the moments of our big day are captured so beautifully! We don’t even know how to begin to pick our favorites because they are all so good. Tessa (and Paige 😊) helped to make our day so smooth and made us feel so special. We will cherish these photos and memories forever.
Simply put, you will not find better than Tessa. Seriously, stop your photography search now and book with her. Tessa is a true professional and it shows through in her work. She is also amazing to work with. My first phone call with her felt like I was catching up with an old friend. Every interaction we had with Tessa was spot on.
Our photos are INCREDIBLE. It’s impossible to pick a favorite. I may be biased, but every time I see another person’s wedding photos I think “I like mine better!” Tessa was amazing with everyone and especially with our flower girls who were feeling quite rowdy the day of the wedding. My husband and I still refer to Tessa as our MVP vendor!
I found Tessa’s pricing to be extremely reasonable especially for the quality of her work. If I knew how amazing our photos would be, I honestly would have been fine paying double. Like I said, if you have not already booked with Tessa, go do it now!
Tessa is amazing!! She made us feel so comfortable from the moment we met and I am in love with our engagement pictures. I have not stopped looking through them. I definitely recommend Tessa for any couple looking for a photographer!!
Tessa!!!!
Ahhhhh!!!! I cannot put into words all the emotions right now. I’ve just started to look through some pictures and have smiled so big, laughed so hard, and cried happy tears. These are amazing. It was hard to stop and just send you this message, haha. I’m going to pause and wait until Zak & I can both view after we’ve made our signature drinks for a little viewing fun :)
You have helped us capture all the beautiful moments from our best day ever. We are so grateful for you and your talent, and becoming such a great friend to us both. We both felt like a best friend was capturing our day. We know we have a photographer for our future life moments :) I would love to create a leather album once we’ve had the chance to enjoy looking through everything, so I’ll be in touch about that.
We will have a formal thank you sent out to you here soon. You have been one of the best decisions we made in choosing the right people and vendors during our journey through being engaged and celebrating our wedding. Thank you, thank you, thank you 🤍
All our love,
Kelly & Zak
Tessa is the best!!! From the moment we met her at our engagement shoot, my husband and I knew we made the best decision choosing her for our wedding. Tessa made us feel so comfortable and confident in front of the camera and she instantly felt like a friend we'd known for years. Our engagement photos turned out to be so beautiful that we couldn't wait to see how our wedding photos would look. On the day of our wedding, Tessa made us feel so calm (and excited!) and was able to think on her feet and be so flexible when we had to change plans due to rain. Tessa was quick to get us our wedding photos back after the wedding and they were even more incredible that we had expected. Will 100% be recommending her to anyone I know getting married in the future!
Tessa is the most amazing person to work with. She answered all of our questions, was great at communicating, and even helped us plan parts of our day with her wedding expertise. Most importantly, she is just a wonderful person - warm, kind, and so happy to be sharing a special time in life with you.
Having photos I love of our wedding day was one of the most important things for us in our wedding planning process. I did not feel an ounce of worry or anxiousness on our wedding day that I wouldn't have those because I have all the faith in the world in Tessa. I still look at our wedding photos daily and am forever grateful to Tessa for capturing such an important day so wonderfully.
Absolutely incredible experience with Tessa and her team. She did such a phenomenal job at our wedding on 10/09/2021. My husband is a tough one when it comes to photos and money, but she made it all worth it and some! He finished the day commenting how much he enjoyed and appreciated her which is a huge compliment. In addition, Tessa was able to rally the troops (my family who was all enjoying themselves) and get some really great photos! She was assertive and took initiative to make the most of each moment. multiple people at the wedding commented on how lovely it was, and how incredible the photographer was for not wasting a second, but also not overstepping any boundaries. Thank you Tessa! I really hope to see you again someday soon!
Tessa (Starling Studio) was an amazing photographer!! The photos she took are so beautiful. She did an amazing job capturing our wedding day (10/2/21)! She is so sweet and becomes a part of your family throughout the experience. Additionally, she went above and beyond in the planning process by helping set our day of schedule, plan out family photos, and offering advice on any random wedding questions I had. She is 100% worth the cost and was one of my favorite wedding vendors! Guests are still raving about her photos.
I cannot say enough good things about Tessa and Starling Studio! As a wedding vendor myself, I was finding it really hard to get out of the "work" mindset and into the "bride" mindset. Tessa was so helpful, thoughtful, and beyond a joy to work with from beginning to end! Having worked with her on multiple weddings and styled shoots, I can confidently say that I didn't get any special treatment for being a vendor friend -- Tessa shows up for *all* of her clients with the same giant heart, sense of professionalism, and absolute joy to be doing her job! We will cherish these photos forever. Could not recommend her enough.
Tessa is not only a skilled and talented photographer, but she is a kind and beautiful human being. I really can't recommend her enough! She captured our wedding day SO well. I was blown away. She sent us a sneak peek the morning after our wedding day and it was the best surprise! We received the rest of our photos only a few weeks later. I really appreciated fun spirit, attention to detail, professionalism, and how she was genuinely interested in understanding my vision for the day. I'm so glad that we found her and I have recommended her to many friends. We will definitely hire her again for family photos in the future :)
Tessa took our 1-year anniversary photos, and she was amazing! she was very sweet and friendly. We were instantly comfortable and had so much fun with her. We got our photos back in a timely manner and they were more beautiful than we imagined! She truly is a photography artist! and really captured such sweet beautiful moments, we couldn’t be any more blessed to have her capture us on such a special day. Thank you again, Tessa!
Not only was working with Tessa easy, the engagement pictures and moments she captured of my fiancé and I were truly breathtaking. She captured the essence of us and we were strangers. You will not be disappointed in her work.
Tessa was AMAZING to work with. She is extremely professional and was with us every step of the way. She frequently reached out to see if there was anything we needed help with throughout the planning process. She built a start to finish timeline for our wedding day and made sure everything was on time and ran smoothly. She also felt like a friend that spent our wedding day with us. She seriously made everything so comfortable and fun for us. We had so many friends and family make comments to us after our wedding about how amazing Tessa was. Aside from her being amazing in general, we just got our photos back and they are BEAUTIFUL!!!!! Every single one of our photos looks so natural and it is impossible to pick a favorite.
I cannot say enough about how wonderful Tessa and Starling Studio are. To begin with, Tessa is such a wonderful, delightful person with such a positive energy. She was truly a pleasure to work with. She really takes the time to get to know you, what you envision for your photos, and even includes engagement photos as part of her package so that you can get familiar with her and comfortable in front of the camera. Tessa was able to put me and my now husband at ease in front of the camera which resulted in photos that I never would have thought were possible for me, someone who is generally a bit awkward in front of the camera. She went above and beyond to make sure that everything was perfect on my wedding day, even grabbing food for me from cocktail hour, and captured every moment so beautifully. She has such a unique talent for creating and capturing movement and working with light to create the most stunning, authentic, and enchanting images. I could not be happier with my photos and experience and highly recommend her and Starling Studio.
As a wedding planner, I recently worked with Tessa at Starling Studio with my clients Christen and Jeremy. Tessa was a delight to work with throughout the planning process and on their wedding day. When they received their engagement photos back (with an incredibly fast turnaround!) the couple was so thrilled and texted me how happy they were with the photos. Based on that, I can’t wait to see their wedding photos and know they will be incredible. I highly recommend Tessa and thank her again for everything. I look forward to working with her again soon!
Tessa is THE BEST!!!!! Hands down, look no further, because there are no other options!!!! She's so friendly, quick to respond, personable and sweet. I am in love with my engagement photos! They turned out beautifully!!!! I can't thank her enough. I wish nothing but continued blessings and a flourishing business for Starling Studio- Columbus! xo
I don’t have enough good things to say about Tessa. She welcomed us with open arms and it was immediately like working with a friend. Our photos could not have come out more perfect. She is a true professional in her art and I could not recommend Starling Studio more!
Tessa was amazing!!! She was friendly, professional, responsive, and so much fun to work with. Every single photo she delivered is stunning! Absolutely worth the investment.
Tessa is amazing to work with. She is always available. Fast at editing and her work is amazing. Highly recommend her! She captured our special day perfectly!!!

My husband and I LOVED working with Tessa. She jumped on the phone with me before our small ceremony and was a huge help making my vision come true. Tessa was on time, professional and super fun to work with. She did an excellent job at capturing the emotional moments, took advantage of the beautiful venue (Franklin Park Conservatory), and was great at directing Collin and me for wonderful portraits that still felt natural. When the pictures came out I was surprised at how stunning they were! It was exactly what we wanted for our special day. Above our expectations!
I am a videographer, so I’m writing this as someone who has worked with Tessa. She is awesome!! Not only to the couples she shoots but also to the people she works alongside! She is easy to collaborate with and you can tell that she puts her heart into her work, it it puts everyone at ease. Tessa, thank you for being so awesome to my second shooter and I that day! You were wonderful to work with and thank you for being so flexible and working with us for the live streaming of the ceremony. You do beautiful work and you’re very kind and considerate, if every photographer I work with was like you I’d be very happy all the time!!
Tessa was one of the best decisions I made when planning our wedding. I was blown away by the quality of her work. She is the best photographer. She was an true asset on our wedding day. The pictures turned out incredible and she was the easiest to work with throughout the process. I feel very lucky that she was available on our wedding date. Her professionalism and attention to detail are incomparable. She was quick to turn the pictures around. She helped me with the planning process and scheduling as well. I cannot say enough good things about how amazing she is! We were beyond happy with her work.
I so wish I could give Tessa more stars! She is AMAZING, and I would highly recommend working with her! Our initial meeting felt like I was catching up with an old friend, as she is so sweet and personable. Our engagement session was a perfect time for us to get comfortable in front of the camera and working with her. While our wedding was impacted by COVID, Tessa was right there to help us think through how we were going to adjust and what it would look like. She was so easy to communicate with, and it was much appreciated, especially during our re-planning.
We ended up having a small, family-only wedding, and Tessa was amazing to have there! She was so kind to our family, and was also comfortable taking charge and organizing everyone for pictures. Our final pictures turned out more beautiful than I could have ever imagined, and the feedback I received from family and friends was that the pictures perfectly captured our love.
Overall, Tessa is an amazing, professional, and organized photographer, and an even better person. I'd highly recommend working with her!
Wow, wow, wow!!! Our wedding photos were stunning! Tessa is so talented and I can not recommend her enough! I will treasure these photos forever!
If you need a wedding photographer Tessa is your girl!!! She was absolute perfection. She is beyond talented and a dream to work with. She was so organized and got my husband and I comfortable in front of the camera. She listened to what I wanted while also giving her professional advice and expertise. She was great at staying in contact along the way and always got back to me same day!! And of course her photos are absolutely stunning!! Again if you need a wedding photographer Tessa with Starling Studio is a must for your big day!!!
Tessa is AMAZING at what she does. I was her model for a styled shoot and she captured the love and romance of me and my boyfriend more beautifully than I could have ever imagined! She has an extreme eye for detail and shoots in a very bright and airy style that would make ANYONE look stunning! I would recommend her a million times over if you’re looking for a photographer that will nail your vision and is super fun to work with! 10/10!
We loved working with Tessa and Starling Studio on our wedding day! Tessa was super easy to work with, always responsive via email/text/phone, and helped us envision our day perfectly. We especially loved meeting her before our wedding to do the included engagement photo session, and it made us instantly comfortable working with Tessa and super happy to see her again on our wedding day! She captured all the details and people we requested, and then some! Thank you Starling Studio for documenting the day perfectly!
Tessa is the best! I'm not someone who really enjoys getting their picture taken but she makes the experience so fun! She's charismatic and she takes charge. She gets the best pictures from even those who aren't photogenic. I don't know how she does it! Our wedding was better because we had her capture it - 'nough said :)
