Tesora Photography

Carolyn from Tesora Photography was the ultimate photographer. I had a small intimate vow exchange in my backyard and she made every single photo feel like It was a fairytale. She created an experience that was so comfortable and natural. She is one of a kind. She is the kind of person that becomes instantly your friend and makes you feel completely yourself on your wedding day, like two best friends taking pictures. I felt my absolute best on my wedding day and I owe it all to Carolyn. She made me feel so confident and knew exactly what kind of pictures I wanted. She was extremely organized and kept the energy high throughout the entire day. I highly recommend her for any bride that wants to feel their absolute best and get incredible pictures that will last a lifetime!

Carolyn from Tesora Photography was the absolute best! She captured the best moments and we had so much fun with her. The day was so hectic but she helped relax us and helped us focus while taking beautiful photos.

Carolyn is the absolute BEST in every way! When our original photographer canceled on our micro wedding due to Covid we were lucky enough to come across Carolyn’s beautiful work through a recommendation. The moment my now husband and I spoke to her we felt like we had known her for years. She is kind, warm and instantly made us feel comfortable with her. On the day of our wedding she was so calm and reassuring which is so important during the morning getting ready and staying on time and wrangling our families for group photos! By the end of the night we felt like she was part of our family! We’ve gotten a few sneak peak photos and have been absolutely blown away so far. Carolyn is incredibly talented and her work is impeccable and we cannot wait to see our entire gallery! We feel so grateful that things worked out the way they did and that we were able to have her capture our day. I will most definitely be using Carolyn to photograph all of our special moments going forward!

Carolyn at Tesora Photography is amazing! She gets the best shots and is so easy to work with. She is so talented and I am so happy that we selected her for our wedding!

Carolyn was amazing to work with! When booking, she answered all my questions and met with me to make sure we were a good fit. Yoh want to feel totally comfortable with your photographer! We had a lot of communication the month leading up the wedding. Then wedding day of, she was calm and reassuring which is definitely what you need on your wedding day. She seemed to genuinely enjoy being there, photographing our family and made me and my husband feel very special. We just got our pictures and we were so happy to relive each and every moment of that day. We will definitely cherish our photos from Tesora. I would recommend Tesora to anyone!

The best decision we made while planning our wedding was to hire Carolyn as our photographer; she is truly the best ever. Carolyn is an absolute joy to work and helped us at every step in planning our day-of timeline, taking care to capture every moment. Carolyn and her team have the unique gift of capturing a couples’ essence and I’m so grateful to have had her with us on our wedding day. (We just received a “sneak peek” of our photos and they are even better than imagined - she has extraordinary talent. ) Take the stress out of planning and hire Tesora Photography! You will have a friend by your side and stunning photos to remember a very special day.

Tesora Photography, there aren’t enough good words to be said for the amazing Carolyn and Rich along with their amazing work. My husband and I had the pleasure of having them take our engagement and wedding day photos! We couldn’t have asked for more they both have a keen eye for creativity and artistry! Not only are they amazing at the photos but they are amazing to have with you! Let’s say my wedding didn’t run all that smoothly, but both Carolyn and Rich were there every step of the way helping out and providing reassurance the entire time. Between running two hours late and having ripped pants, we made it through. The photographs share all the amazing moments of the day which we will cherish forever.

Carolyn is a dream to work with. I can't say enough positive things about her. She has such a good, artistic eye with the camera and is an amazingly talented photographer. My husband and I are usually a camera shy, but Carolyn made us feel so comfortable and she captured these beautiful moments between us. Moments that we will have for the rest of our lives and that is thanks to Carolyn. We are also so grateful for Carolyn because she genuinely listened to our photo vision and absolutely nailed it. She is so sweet and has amazing energy, and is such a joy to be around. She is the best. We love her and I promise you will too!

Tesora Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with! Prior to booking with Carolyn we met with a couple other photographers who we just didn't connect with. When we sat down with Carolyn we knew right away she was the one to capture our special day. Her and her husband Rich made everything so seamless and stress free. She is with you every step of the way and is super responsive with any questions you might have! She is SUCH a wonderful photographer and not only that such a beautiful person inside and out.

We had the best experience with Tesora Photography on our wedding day! Carolyn and Rich were incredibly organized from the start and so friendly. My wife and I loved the engagement photos we took with Tesora and couldn't wait to work with them on our wedding day. Especially on one of the most stressful days of our lives we were so happy to have Carolyn and Rich there to make us feel comfortable and more importantly have a little fun. Carolyn has a great eye for detail and went above and beyond to get every possible shot. The photos from our wedding day came out even better than we could have imagined, all thanks to Carolyn. We highly recommend working with Tesora! You'll be so happy you did.

If you are looking for a photographer with knowledge, expertise, that perfect eye, and just an amazing person, look no further. Your wedding day is once in a lifetime but it's the pictures that you cherish over and over to remind you of your perfect day. Carolyn and her assistant have such an amazing eye. Every single photo (as you can see from her blogs) are simply amazing. I can't wait to use her for future shoots and special events. On top of everything else, she puts you at ease and is genuinely one of the kindest people I have ever met.

I love love Carolyn!! She’s so amazing to work with, made us feel so comfortable and really captured us at our best. She’s so easy going and chill, fun and sooo funny! Thank you!! For everything book Carolyn!! ASAP

Carolyn is amazing to work with! She is phenomenally organized, prepared, and focuses on all the details so photos on my wedding day went smoothly. Our sneak peek photos are gorgeous and we can't wait for the rest! she and her husband made a great team on the day of, and I definitely plan on booking her for any future photo needs!

I can't thank Carolyn enough for her BEAUTIFUL photos! The photos capture our special day perfectly. She and her husband, Rich, are wonderful people to work with. They are so easy-going and understood our vision completely. From the first day I met Carolyn, I knew I wanted her to photograph my wedding. She is so kind, patient and actually cares about you. My husband does not like to be in photos. But, Carolyn and Rich both made us feel so comfortable. From the engagement photo-shoot to the wedding day, every photo is perfect. We will treasure them forever!!

Carolyn is one of the best human beings I have ever met - she radiates light in every way possible. She truly cares about you as a person and creates an instant connection with you! It’s like having a best friend shoot one of the most important moments of your life! I am so happy I’ve connected with her! Finding a photographer that makes you feel very comfortable is very rare. They see you at such intimate moments and having Carolyn around to capture them is a MUST!! Stop shopping around because SHE IS IT!

Carolyn and Rich were wonderful to work with! She is so sweet and easy to work with, and not to mention wildly talented. I am in love with how she was able to capture "us". The candids, or as I like to call them "the in-betweens" are incredible. The pictures that she snapped in between us trying not to laugh or my husband doing something silly. Those are my favorite. Those are the pictures that will help me remember that day for the rest of my life. Thank you, Carolyn!

THE BEST!!! I was referred to Carolyn & Rich by a friend and I am SO HAPPY that I decided to reach out to her. I knew after our first meeting that it would be perfect. I am not to savvy with photography, but I saw what she did for my friends wedding so i knew she was amazing at what she does. It is her personality that is so comforting and welcoming. It was important to me to have our photographer be someone who I would want to hang out with considering they are with you for a lot of your day! Carolyn and Rich did an outstanding job at both our engagement photos and at our wedding. We got married last weekend so we have not seen all the photos, but the sneak peek that Carolyn showed us was amazing. It rained all day and I knew that I could trust them to still get great pictures. Not to mention Carolyn texted me the week before to assure me that it was going to be the best day ever no matter the weather. I will use her for the rest of our lives at any point that we need a photographer!! Highly recommend :) !!!!

Carolyn was a joy to work with for our recent wedding in August! She was SO easy to talk to and made us feel super comfortable during our engagement session and at our wedding. You can tell she loves what she does and not only has the passion for the job but also has an awesome eye for great shots. Amazingly, she was able to give us a good amount of preview photos of our wedding pics on the morning after our wedding (amazing!) and her kindness in her captions and social media posts are simply the best ever. As a very particular and detail-oriented bride, I was a little difficult to please at times, but Carolyn never made me feel that way and was always very easy-going and accommodating to any worries or stress I had leading up to the wedding. My husband and I cannot wait to see the rest of our wedding photos so we can relive one of the best days of our lives thus far! Thank you Carolyn!!

We hired Carolyn for our engagement session after seeing some of her work through another bride’s posts. Her style, clean, bright and SO romantic immediately caught our eye. We could tell this girl was talented, due to the perspective of her photographs and the minimal editing. Going through her porfolio I could see all the love shinning through the asthetics of her work. We knew we wanted our engagement photographs to look just like that! We felt so comfortable upon meeting Carolyn that our engagement session flew by! My fiancé was dreading getting photographed, but Carolyn made it seem so easy and comfortable that my fiancé left the session super happy! Carolyn truly has a magical eye and made our photos look so dreamy, candid and fun all at once! She even took the best photographs of our 1 year old lab baby! Carolyn’s warm and sweet personality made this step of wedding planning one of the easiest and most fun! I could not have asked for more beautiful photos or a better photographer. You cannot go wrong with Tesora Photography! Not only will you have a great experience and enjoy the presence of the sweetest human alive, but you will also have beautiful photos that look like they were taken out of a magazine, and that you will cherish for a lifetime!

Carolyn and Rich were beyond amazing! The engagement photos we did first really helped my husband get comfortable in front of the camera before our big day. They made everything so easy the day of the wedding, and really captured the best moments! I had very bright flowers and they were able to capture the vibrant colors. Rich really helped my husband stay calm before our first look! This is a unique benefit to having Tesora - working with a married couple who already went through their big day they know exactly how you feel and make sure that everything goes smoothly, giving you one less thing to worry about at your wedding!

I absolutely loved working with Carolyn for our engagement photos and can't wait to work with her again on our wedding day! She made us feel so comfortable and has such a warm personality - such a pleasure to work with! She gave us great suggestions for locations and poses, which made the whole process so easy. We also asked if our two spunky pups could be included in some of the shots and she was completely on board! Our photos came out beautifully and we immediately hung them on our walls and ordered a bunch of prints. It's obvious that Carolyn is passionate about her work and really cares about connecting with the couples she works with and working towards their individual visions. I HIGHLY recommend using her for your special day!! She's the best!

What can I say - Carolyn and Rich exceeded every expectation that we had of them on our wedding day. We met Carolyn when we hired her to do our engagement shoot with no other agenda - our original plans were to have a destination wedding last summer and I didn't see how we would need a tri-state based photographer going further. Meeting Carolyn for the first time was like reconnecting with an old friend. She made us feel comfortable, we laughed for 2 hours straight... She gave direction when needed (I insisted on the most natural/candid session we could have) and she took surreal photos of us in Central Park. Us, our family and friends, were amazed. We knew we had to have her anywhere we went for our wedding day! Long story short, we ended up planning a New York wedding and Carolyn was the first vendor we booked. Carolyn and Rich were an amazing team on our wedding day. From the moment Carolyn arrived, I felt at peace knowing we were in the best hands. She, and Rich captured every moment of bliss on that day. My husband and I are still speechless when we look at our photos. Carolyn truly cares about her clients and capturing each story with passion. Her photos are not overly edited like other photographers you may come across, simply because her skills are so precise. Her photos are natural and full of feeling - they are simply stunning. This is exactly what we were looking for in our wedding photos... You truly cannot go wrong here.

Carolyn of Tesora Photography is just a gem in every way. Besides being incredibly warm and kind, she is truly talented and passionate about what she does, and it reflects in her photos and how she works with all of her couples. She was wonderful with my husband and I when we tied the knot, as well as our family and keeping everyone organized and the energy going. I am absolutely overjoyed with how our photos turned out, and will treasure them for the rest of my life. I couldn't recommend her enough—your memories will be in the best hands with Tesora Photography.

I don’t even know where to begin! Carolyn is an absolutely wonderful person who has such passion for what she does. My husband and I are very punctual people and one of our worries was running behind on our wedding day. Carolyn and her husband, Rich, were so on top of the time. It made us feel so at ease. Also, I have to mention how much of a team player she is. She went above and beyond on our special day, from helping me in my dress and making sure I was okay every step of the way. I’ve gained a friend and photographer that I will use through out all special moments in my life.

Carolyn and her husband Rich are no doubt THE BEST at what they do! Carolyn is so professional, organized and talented-- not to mention down to earth and easy to talk to too. It poured on our wedding day (brides worst nightmare) but our photos turned out AMAZING-- even better than if the sun was out! My husband and I were so happy with them we actually started crying. We can't thank you enough, Carolyn, for everything you did to make our engagement and wedding photos ones we will cherish forever. We are so happy we met you and Rich and now get to call you friends!

Carolyn is awesome! Very professional but fun and warm at the same time. She has a really great eye for capturing unique shots. I had so much fun and loved the pictures. She is exactly the person to capture the magic of your special day.

We have nothing but praise for Tesora Photography and how well they captured our special day. My husband and I had our engagement shoot in Providence, RI October 2018 and our wedding in Boston, MA May 2018. For the engagement shoot, Carolyn makes you feel so comfortable. You still feel like yourselves, along with her little touches and suggestions along the way. We were so happy with the shoot and couldn't wait until the big day. For the wedding shoot, Carolyn and Rich did a great job of keeping us on pace for all our desired photos but never rushing us. We're so happy we found Tesora Photography to photograph our special day!!

Carolyn of Tesora Photography took our engagement photos in July 2016 and they exceeded our expectations! We were a bit camera shy when we first started but Carolyn made us feel so comfortable that we quickly relaxed and really enjoyed our session. Carolyn was extremely responsive as we were planning our session and literally followed us around NYC to every location we had on our list. She provided our pictures earlier than expected and we loved them so much we had trouble choosing pictures for our save the date! Carolyn also did a family shoot for my brother and sister-in-law when my nephew was born, and the pictures were also amazing. We would have definitely used Tesora as our wedding photographers if they weren’t booked already! Carolyn has an excellent eye and puts her all into her sessions to ensure her clients are extremely satisfied with their photos. We highly recommend Carolyn for all your photo needs. She will definitely be my go-to photographer for any future photography needs!

We had our engagement and wedding photos with Carolyn. True professional from day one when we sat down with her and her husband Rich to share our ideas. She made us feel so comfortable and at ease making the whole process enjoyable, natural, and fun. Carolyn has a true talent for photography as well as passion. She was able to capture beautiful and artistic images of the best day of our lives!

You know you’ve found the perfect photographer when you immediately become friends after meeting for the first time! Carolyn and Rich could not be more genuine and passionate about their work and their clients. The entire process of working with them was smooth and the results were incredible. Our engagement photo shoot was so much fun and Carolyn made us feel so comfortable. My husband hates taking pictures but even said how much fun he had the whole time! Thank you so much for everything, we would definitely refer Tesora Photography to our friends and family!!

We used Tesora for our engagement pictures and our wedding - they are without a doubt the most amazing photos ever. To put it simply, Carolyn and Rich are super cool and easy to work with. We were so lucky to have them as a part of our day! Their presence is calming and their ideas are easy and laid back which made for a very natural session. I am so thankful to have our beautiful photos as a keepsake from our special days. I would HIGHLY recommend them for your special occasion!

It goes without saying that Tesora Photography’s work is impressive beyond measure. The outstanding quality of her photos- each one so crisp and colorful. But what really sets Tesora Photography apart from the rest is the love that comes pouring out of every shot. Carolyn photographed my surprise engagement -and did not miss a beat. She caught every piece of the best moment of my life. Afterwards, while we took more “posed” photos, there was really nothing posed about them! She encouraged us to just interact naturally and had us laughing and enjoying every minute. (Something else to note- I had just cried my eyes out during the proposal, and yet somehow her photos made me look flawless) She was such a helpful person to have with us that day and we can’t wait to have her shoot our wedding!

Tesora Photography is just amazing. From engagement pictures in Central Park to wedding photos in a library ballroom, Carolyn managed to capture all the love and romance in our wedding and preserve it in a dream. My husband and I were simply astounded by the beauty and artistry of her photos. But more than that - Carolyn was there for me on my wedding day. When the schedule grew chaotic and all the stress and chaos of the day seemed to bubble over - she was there to reassure me and helped keep everything running smoothly. I remarked that she felt like an extra bridesmaid, and she really was all that support and more. Talented, professional, and personal, I cannot recommend Tesora Photography enough.

Terosa Photography was amazing! With Carolyn and Rich, we didn't have to worry about anything. They were super easy to work with, knew exactly what they were doing, and ensured they got all our important shots. They gave us the photos back quickly and they were absolutely beautiful. I'd gladly recommend Terosa Photography for any occasion!

Absolutely everything from start to finish with Carolyn was amazing! My husband and I were more than lucky to have had the pleasure to work with Tesora Photography. From the very beginning we were satisfied with Carolyn's talent, patience, work ethic, and utter organization. Her breathtaking work and sheer commitment to success, left us with the most amazing photos we will ever have. The greatest and most special day of our lives was made even more perfect because of Tesora Photography. Look no further! You will be 100% amazed with this photographer!

"What can I say besides Carolyn was an absolute pleasure to work with. Carolyn shot our actual engagement and everyone who has seen the pictures has complimented. With everything going on that day the last thing I needed to worry about was the photographer missing the shot. She put me at ease telling me exactly where she would be to get the best shot. I could not recommend her enough.

I highly recommend Tesora Photography! Carolyn was a pleasure to work with throughout the entire process from engagement photos to our wedding day. She was by far the most helpful vendor in planning the timeline for our wedding day. Not only is she professional and organized, she makes you feel completely comfortable in front of the camera. I received so many compliments about our photographer after our wedding even before we got to see the photos! Our guests and our minister noticed how well Carolyn was able to capture the moments without being in the way. Tesora Photography was everything we were looking for in a photographer and more! Thank you for the beautiful photos and excellent experience Carolyn!!

Literally THE. BEST. PERIOD. As an event planner in NYC, who deals with artistic vendors at work all the time I have VERY high standards for professionalism and responsiveness; Tesora exceeded all of my expectations with flying colors. When it came time to look for a photographer for my engagement photos in NYC I searched through and emailed with dozens of photographers (I like to do my homework!) and was so impressed not just with the quality of Carolyn's work but with her professionalism, super speedy responsiveness and ultimately with her genuine warmth which came bursting off the screen in her positive and excited emails. You could tell she loves what she does and is excited to share the experience with you. In the lead up to the shoot day her guidance was very helpful (what to wear, thoughts on locations, how best to use our time) but she also worked with my vision and what we wanted for the final product. On the day of the shoot, she was just lovely. On time, organized and took charge so we could maximize the time but also encouraging and just down right kind. A day spent "modeling" is not something my introvert fiance was thrilled about but Carolyn's kindness and calm direction put us both right at ease and at the end he even said "wow, that was actually fun!" haha. Our pictures came out just gorgeous and the variety of shots and looks are a testament to her true talent behind the lens. Lastly, I'll add that Tesora is a freaking STEAL! We all know weddings are super expensive and trust me, I looked at dozens of photographers, this is the ultimate bang for your buck. We could have spent double or triple and not gotten anywhere near the attention, quality of photos or positive experience we did with Tesora & Carolyn. Seriously, book her immediately. (In fact I just again to take newborn photos of my niece due in the beginning of April!)

Carolyn saved the day - my fiance (at the time) were not exactly pleased with how our original engagement pictures turned out from our wedding photographer (not the photographers fault). Since our wedding was not local, neither was our wedding photographer; having them re-done would not have been quick or easy to schedule. Thank God for we reached out to Carolyn - we still wanted engagement pictures!!! She listened to my lessons learned from the first session, what I liked (and didn't like) and was so accommodating and somehow made a rainy/drizzly outdoor session look amazing. The time flew by and we had such a blast! So happy we have her pictures that we will cherish for the rest of our lives. Thank you Carolyn!!!!!
