Documentary storytelling across Idaho, the Pacific Northwest, and wherever your day takes us.
Honest wedding photography for couples who feel most alive under open skies.
Every moment deserves to be captured in memory, and every emotion deserves the chance to be relived
Your wedding day will move fast. Somewhere inside it are the moments no one can plan: a glance across the room, the quiet just before the ceremony begins, your grandmother laughing so hard she has to sit down.
I'm there for those. I photograph the day as it actually happens, with an eye for touch, light, and the landscape around you, so that years from now you can feel it again, not just remember how it looked.
Meet Tessa
Hey! I'm Tessa, a Boise-based photographer who believes a wedding day is really about emotion and connection. Before your day, I learn your family's names and how everyone fits together. By the end of it, your people are calling me Tessa instead of "hey, photographer," and that's when the real moments start showing up.
The camera is never the center of the experience. You and your people are.
A welcoming Northwest photography experience designed to create an environment where you feel at ease, allowing you to authentically be yourself.
You'll feel taken care of, never managed. I'll offer direction and movement when you want it, especially during portraits, and step back when the day doesn't need me. Intimate ceremonies on private property, elopements in the mountains, weddings that travel: the rhythm changes with the room, and I change with it.
The Experience
Jana
"Tessa was our wedding photographer and she was AMAZING! First off, she made my husband and I feel nothing but comfortable and like we had known her for years (we both hate photos and avoid them as much as possible). She is flexible, accommodating, thorough, time efficient, and most of all extremely talented. Her photos turned out absolutely perfect."

"There’s a million reasons to choose Tessa as your photographer, but my top 3 is how personable she is, how comfortable it is to be in front of her camera, and the story she tells from behind the camera. Tessa has a way of capturing us like I’ve always imagined and I love getting to see her perspective. she is so easy to befriend and feel like you’ve known each other your whole life."

"Tessa is absolutely incredible. Her energy is off the charts, her vibes are immaculate, and her talent is unmatched. I want her to be my best friend. Because of her, our engagement photo session became a dream date. It’s an experience we will talk about forever. I can’t wait for our wedding so I can see her again!"
