en friends forever. We talked through the vision and what was important for me as the bride to be captured. She was professional and upfront regarding pricing as well. My husband and I got married on May 31st and we had all photos returned back to us on June 9th. Can you believe that?! The photos came back sooo beautiful, we are thrilled with them! Tess's personality is one of a kind, she is so sweet and caring and you can tell loves what she does. Thank you Tess for everything. We will cherish these photos forever.

g day. The quality of her work is truly excellent, with a creative, candid and inclusive style that captured the beautiful, fun and joyful moments of our wedding in such a special way. Tess herself was a calming presence, full of vim and vigor, helping us stay cool, calm and collected throughout the day so we could simply soak in the happiness. We are over the moon with the photos and could not recommend Tess Ann Photography more highly!!
Tess is amazing and such a sweetheart! Her energy is so comforting and inviting!! I was a DIY bride and kept things very simple for our day but still wanted a photographer to captu...
re those precious moments. She went beyond my expectations! I am SO in love with my wedding photos!! We received our pictures within the month! It was my first time working with a photographer other than school pictures lol but she made us feel very comfortable!
From the minute I heard her happy voice on the phone, I knew we had our dream wedding photographer. Tess was so amazing, literally took tons of stress off our back by creating our...
timeline (we didn’t have a budget for a coordinator), referring phenomenal vendors to work with, she walked us through what to expect, she answered our calls and emails quickly. My sister is getting married and I’m so thrilled we get to see her magic again. She is so creative, yet listened to our ideas. I’ll close with the obvious, our wedding photos are the most amazing photos I’ve seen in my life. I cry when I look at them and I get to live my wedding day over and over again. What else could a bride ask for?
From start to finish, Tess was wonderful every step of the way. She was communicative and energetic. You can tell she loves what she does! The day of my wedding, she made sure to c...
apture everything and then some! And the photos she took came out better than I could have ever imagined! Tess is incredible, my experience was incredible, and my photos were incredible! Thank you for everything Tess!
I don’t have enough time to say all of the amazing things I need to about Tess!! Wow, just wow is she incredible. Not only does she have the most amazing personality but her photos...
are just absolute perfection.
She photographed our wedding and she was awesome since I first spoke with her. It was easy to get in touch with her and work with her, she’s so friendly and responsive. At the day of the wedding, she was completely in her element!! She made sure I got every photo I wanted, that everyone was included and she captured the most precious moments for my family and I. We will forever cherish every single picture she took that day ❤️❤️
I would recommend Tess to anyone and everyone. We look forward to having her do our maternity photos when the time comes!
Tess is the Best! I was sold after reading her blog and one phone conversation. She has a great bubbly personality. She’s quick to answer emails or phone calls. If you’re looking f...
or a photographer who’s all about capturing the moments in real time and those candid shots then Tess is the photographer you need. My Fiancee and I decided not to get a wedding videographer because I knew we probably would only watch it once we got it and put it away, plus I knew our guest would definitely have their cell phones out to video want we wanted. I wanted to be able to look at my wedding pictures and let them tell the story of our day. We didn’t want to waste our time taking a lot of posed pictures, but yes she did get a few family formals as we requested. We were very pleased with our decision to hire Tess.
OMG Tess was amazing. She made the process so easy. She was quick with emails and incredibly responsive. Our wedding photos are simply stunning- MORE than I could have ever ask...
ed for. She truly captured the day and delivered the most amazing candids, one of the reasons we hired her. We love her and can't wait until our family expands so we can do family portraits. Can't wait to hire her again.
She helped us with finding other vendors, she explained how much 6 or 8 hours of coverage was. We had never planned a wedding, she worked with us to find how much coverage we would need which saved us money. A true find here on the knot!!!
Tess provided us a wonderful experience for our wedding! She made our photo shoot fun and the pictures turned out great. We received the pictures very quickly.
Tess is amazing!!! From Day 1 of introducing myself to the very end. Her energy is what every bride needs! Its so easy to get lost in the craziness but she made it fun and definite...
ly kept everyone in order. I wanted organic, in the moment pictures of my micro wedding and she did exactly that. There were some pictures that I wondered where she even was because no one noticed her taking them lol seriously amazing! Not only was she professional but she made this whole experience fun and relieving. Will definitely book for future events! As a guest.. or as my photographer.. or both!!!
Tess was absolutely amazing to work with from my first inquiry with her, through my wedding, and afterwards. She was very kind, energetic, professional, just everything. She was s...

Extraordinary work, very professional

ecause she kept us moving to many unique spots and laughing along the way. Getting our photos back, we had so many we loved it was hard to pick favorites. She really captured the joy and love we have for each other. We are excited to have her shoot our wedding in just a couple months!

Tess was absolutely amazing! We couldn't have asked for a better photographer. She made my husband and I feel very comfortable along with our guests. The photos turned out amazing,...
she was able to capture such great moments during the wedding and she also had such an eye for detail. She was very helpful, whether it was for our photos or just in wedding help in general. We absolutely loved her! If you're still deciding on who your photographer should, definitely go with Tess! You will not regret it!
What can I possibly say that others haven't said already?! Let's just say the reviews speak for themselves. My fiancé and I were in serious need of an engagement shoot so we could ...
send out our wedding invites, picture-up our wedding website, and of course frame pictures for our home. Tess delivered! This woman most definitely found her calling. I consider myself awkward when it comes to photos and generally hate taking them but Tess made me and my fiancé feel comfortable and natural the whole time. Let me also add this as I know some look for this in a photographer, Tess absolutely will NOT alter your images for you, she's a strong believer in loving yourself and exactly how you look. She will edit lighting and so on but not alter physical appearances. At first we found this to be a negative but we still took the leap of faith and we were so happy we did. She takes photos as a professional and as a friend, capturing your best angles. We would most definitely book her again! Thank you so much once again Tess you are an absolute gem.
Outstanding! She captured our happiness organically; we weren't overly posed or staged. She made you feel comfortable in front of the camera. Her personality is awesome! She h...
as a fantastic, sincere, energetic vibe, and she interacts with guests with the biggest, warmest smile. She's a true mix of the Midwest & South Florida. Truly a talented photographer. Very professional and great work-ethic. She captured the colors of the ocean perfectly and still made us shine like stars. Tess Ann exceeded my expectations. A+
Tess was a wonderful photographer for our October wedding! We had several different locations to photograph during the day, and she was well prepared for each stop. Her energy was ...
infectious and the photos are truly wonderful. We had not met Tess prior to our big day, but you would have never guessed that based on the welcoming spirit Tess brought with her.
We were a Covid wedding couple, and the flexibility Tess extended to us through our multiple cancellations was much appreciated!
Tess Ann went above and beyond to make our engagement photo shoot wonderful. My fiancée Molly and myself have never done anything like this before, and she directed us so well, I w...
as worried it would be awkward and not come across well on camera; however that was not the case at all. She developed beautiful photos that I could not wait to share with family and loved ones. She also picked a beautiful location, the Spanish River Park, and managed to get shots of multiple locations throughout the park all in an hour so that we could get the lighting for sunset. Overall it was just a fabulous experience and would definitely use her again for future occasions!
Tess Ann and her assistant were a pure joy to work with! They were fun and fit in with all of us automatically! The photos are beautiful, she captured the love & joy of the day. I ...
especially loved all the time she spent with us before the wedding through zoom meetings getting to know us, and learning exactly what we wanted for the day, I think that time she spent made a world of difference!
WOW! I don't even know where to start...Tess was AMAZING to say the least. We came out of town for our engagement photos and she was so responsive with us and flexible. She has suc...
h a great personality and kept the whole session so light-hearted and made us feel so comfortable. We had our photos back within a week and we knew they would be awesome...but we were definitely blown away. I wish our wedding was in Florida because we would be hiring her ASAP. I would recommend Tess to anyone needing any photography done. Thank you so much for everything!
Tess is absolutely amazing. I am obsessed with my wedding photos, she captured every important moment and more. She was very quick getting the photos done too - I had them all with...
in a month! She is flexible and gets the special moments and spontaneous ones. She always made me comfortable, including boudoir photos! She is professional, responds immediately, and I love all of my wedding photos. I highly recommend!

ve and hilarious are just a few things you get when you book with Tess. 2020 was challenging enough so we were so happy to end the year with such an amazing experience!
Planning a wedding can be stressful. Add covid into the mix and it can seem impossible. When you pick the best vendors everything falls into place. From the second I was in contact...
with Tess I knew I had picked the best of the best. She walked me through everything Photography, timelines, sunset times, family photos, must have shots and more. Any question I had was promptly answered. Any request I had became a reality. Her knowledge, professionalism, kindness and honesty are exactly what I was looking for and received. My wedding pictures came out absolutely breath taking. Beyond my wildest dreams. Olga who captured my pictures the day of was also top notch. I can’t say enough great things about Tess’s company and the people she employs. I couldn’t have done it without them!! Love one extremely happy and grateful bride and customer.

was organized and had a clear game plan of the whole night, with what photos we wanted while still making sure we were having fun all night. The photos she took are draw dropping (and I don’t think I’m biased since it was my wedding). They truly were absolutely perfect. Thank you so much for everything!
Tess was a dream to work with every step of the way - my family, friends and other vendors we worked with actually sought me out to rave about how wonderful Tess was! She was in co...
nsistent communication throughout the booking process and was always available to answer our questions. Tess worked with me to gather all the critical information prior to the event to ensure the timeline was executed seamlessly and that we were able to capture all the special moments we hoped for. Tess was kind, considerate, calm yet organized, involved but not intrusive by any stretch, and she was a true professional. I'd highly recommend her for any photography needs - it would be a pleasure to work with her again!
Tess is an ANGEL. Always responsive via email and phone whenever I had a question. Always receptive. We wanted to include our son in our engagement shoot and he took to her imme...
diately and got some photos of us that I will cherish forever. For our wedding day she prepared a detailed timeline so everyone knew where to be and at what time. She made everyone feel so at ease in front of the camera. She gets so inspired by a site and thinks out of the box for an unforgettable photo opportunity! Tess thank you so much for capturing our special day!

ble, and having a small wedding- she was eager to jump in, help when needed and fit in so well with our families and friends. She felt like a family member.... I've seen our sneak-peaks and I am beyond blown away and so glad I choose her for my big day!
So I found Tess on Craigslist when we got engaged and thought she looked great. We hired her for the engagement photos to see if we would mesh. I was terrified. I do not do photos ...
or get comfortable in front of people. She was the most energetic and yet chill person ever. I did not think I could actually have fun while taking pictures. Without being awkward????? But guys, she made it happen. She is just so enthusiastic about what she does and just kept complimenting how she thought me and my fiancé were fun. Eventually I felt that she enjoyed me being me enough to get over the awkward and take photos. Everything after that was smooth sailing. She is super easy to communicate with and is very accommodating. She has a lottttttttttttttttt of energy but in a really good way. If you are even possibly considering hiring Tess, just do the thing. She's the bomb. I wish I had more events so she could come take more photos for me.
REALLY?? Can I give her TEN STARS??? Wow- Tess was so on top of EVERYTHING!!! I trusted her vision and professionalism and she made the entire process effortless. BEST decisio...
n EVER!!!! Tess even gave us sneak peaks the next day to share. Her turnaround time is ON POINT!! She understands Brides needs and takes away your stress!!! I can't wait to hire her when our family grows. Soooo lucky to have found this gem of a Photographer!!!
Tess is AMAZING! She gets five stars, and if we could give her more we would. She was the photographer for our wedding on July 27, 2019. From the very beginning, it was important t...
o Tess that she got to know us to understand if we would be a good fit for working together. Her wedding package fit exactly what needed - from the 8 hour timeframe to our budget. She was very communicative, open to our ideas and suggestions, but didn’t hesitate to tell us what she needed in order to capture our special day and all the moments we indicated were important to us. Tess has a magnetic personality and is passionate about what she does. Her photographic style is fantastic and her images are beautiful. All of our family and friends who have seen photos she took of us always exclaim “wow - you had a great photographer!” and we couldn’t agree more. To top it all off, Tess had a handful of sneak peak pics from our wedding in our inbox the DAY AFTER our wedding!! It was amazing to get to reminisce and have some high quality photos available to share with family and friends so quickly after the event. We are so happy we worked with Tess and would recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer to capture their special moments.
We were so lucky to have Tess at our wedding! I've looked at a few wedding photographers and the styles and the clarity of Tess' photos stood out to me. We had a small wedding and ...
we did not need the minimum 6-8 hours that most other photographers require for booking. Tess was willing to work with our budget and timeline and we are forever grateful.
Tess was very professional on our wedding day, she arrived early and was very organized, you can tell she has done many weddings and is very experienced. I love that she focuses on the important formal shots that are important to us and still capture the candid photos.
Did I also mention that Tess has the best personality and I love that she is very organized? Tess has a very likabe personality and she is just very easy to work and communicate with. I feel like organization is key on a wedding day because many things are going on at once, since Tess was very organized things went very smoothly and I can trust her to capture the important moments on our big day.
I received some sneak peeks photos a few days after our wedding and they came out fabulous. We are looking forward to the rest of our photos from the wedding and I am confident that they will be great.
I would recommend Tess to all my friends and families because she is just amazing!
First, let me tell you that Tess is really incredible. She is absolutely professional. I loved working with her. Anytime I had a questions regarding. Our wedding photographs , she ...

For me, one of the most important things on a wedding is the wedding photographs. These pictures will last forever, and I want my kids someday to see how amazing my dream wedding was. Thank you Tess for being so artistic and passionate about your work. Besides, Tess’s personality was so cheerful ❤️ I truly recommend her

When my husband and I found Tess on a whim because we had not found a photographer for our wedding yet, we had no idea how great a choice we had made in choosing her.
Tess was abs...
olutely involved in all the details of our wedding. She was so great at puttung a checklist for us that worked. And the day of our wedding, she truly listened to all my requests.
Upon seeing her photos of our special day, it literally brought tears to both of us in reminiscing on our day and how well she captured our special moments of that day! Thanks Tess for capturing our special day!
You will not regret choosing her as your photographer!!
After hearing so many disappointing stories about wedding photographers, I was obviously choosy when looking for mine. I met with quite a few, but when I met Tess, it just clicked....
She immediately made me feel comfortable. She laughed with us during wedding day photos like she was part of the bridal party. It was like having a best friend take the pictures- except totally professional. I will only use Tess for all future events!
Tess is amazing to work with. The minute you meet her, you love her. She has an energy and personality that puts everyone at ease. She makes you laugh and really enjoy the moment,...
