A word from our Couples
"Tessa and her team were absolutely amazing throughout every step of the wedding process. Tessa was so fun to work with and was a huge part in helping everything run smoothly on wedding day! From engagement photos to final wedding gallery, Tessa and the team were extremely responsive with any questions we had and got our final galleries to us very quickly. They went above and beyond to make our experience amazing not only during the wedding, but also before and after wedding day. She made us feel comfortable in front of the camera resulting in gorgeous wedding photos that we will forever cherish! Our wedding party, families, and guests all raved about how great Tessa was on wedding day! We are truly so glad we chose Tessa and so grateful for her hard work and the amazing photos we received. Thank you so much TMI!!

"Tessa and the TMI team is AMAZING! We consider Tessa as our "family photographer". She was the photographer for multiple cousins weddings and my sister's wedding. Tessa takes the BEST photos I have ever seen. She is very professional, direct, and fun. She makes the best out of any circumstance. It was raining my whole wedding day and she knew how upset I was about it and was checking the radar to see if there was any breaks in the rain. As soon as there was a break she pulled my husband and I out there. That was the ONLY break of rain throughout the day. At night Tessa pulled us outside for incredible photos in the rain.
I just want to get married again to work with Tessa and her team! If you are thinking about hiring Tessa and her team... DO IT!"

"Absolutely the Best Yes (next to my now Husband). From day one meeting to hugging goodbye after the reception she was just amazing. I'm not naturally someone who loves being in front of a camera unless I'm joking around but she made me feel confident and everything on the day feel so natural and comfortable that at points I forgot she and Emily were there and was able to just be me (though there were still plenty of goofy faces I know that made it onto the camera). She helped keep us moving so we'd stay (as close to possible to) on time without feeling rushed, got the shots we wanted with family and friends (checked in that if we were ever over the group shot thing she'd take care of it) and even though it rained the whole day and I wanted to be sad there was no sunshine for our photos, she made it feel special and that things were still going to turn out amazing. She is also such a great hype person, knowing what to say when and just the right amount of encouragement as you go through the day. She was creative and fun, engaging and friendly, helpful with even so many of the non-photography questions I had about the day and just wonderful to work with. Make the TMI team part of your big day and I promise you will not regret it!!!!"

BOOK TESSA NOW. You won’t regret it! After watching Tessa work her magic at my two cousins wedding (I was in both of their bridal parties), I knew right away she was who I wanted photographing my future wedding. Fast forward a few years, I just got married in June 2021 and I can’t stop raving about Tessa. I recommend her to EVERYONE and of course my younger sister has already booked with Tessa for her October 2023 wedding. When hiring Tessa you’re getting SO MUCH more than a photographer. Tessa goes above and beyond to get all the perfect shots and to make sure you’re enjoying every moment. On top of being an AMAZING photographer, Tessa knows how to coordinate your entire day and direct the bridal party/family in a fun and efficient way. Tessa has an infectious personality which made me stress free and feel like a legit model when taking photos. I have so many incredible photos to remember my wedding day and it’s all thanks to Tessa! She’s worth every single penny and I couldn’t imagine what my wedding day would have been like without her. I could go on forever and ever… JUST BOOK TESSA.

I can't say enough good things about Tessa and Haley. Their photos are beautiful, and they are wonderful people. They are so personable and easy to talk to and make you feel so comfortable, which is so important when you are in front of a camera. They have an ability to capture the most amazing moments and special expressions. We wanted a photographer that could capture our day without it feeling filtered or fake. Our photos turned out so much better than we could have imagined. Throughout the whole process they were on board to try out new things with us, like going to a floating lantern festival for our engagement shoot, and trying out floating string lights in our pictures on our wedding day. They helped us put together a timeline so we could get all of the pictures we wanted and still enjoy our wedding day. They are so efficient when working through family photos, which was very appreciated by us since our family can be all over the place. They are now putting together our album and we can't wait for the finished product.

Wow!! We were so impressed with Tessa from beginning to end. She was attentive and made us feel so comfortable (her and her assistant). She was amazing at navigating the venue and efficiently setting us up through the many shots. She really gets to know you as a couple and it definitely shows when you see your photos. Her skill as a photographer is incredible. We're a couple that did not have pictures as a top priority to take up much of our day, but we are so happy that Tessa made it so easy and we came away with amazing pictures to remember our day!!

Tessa is the best of the best. We used Tessa for our engagement shoot and immediatly knew we needed to book her for our wedding as well. She is so good at directing you and giving you the proper queues to get the best shots. My husband and I wouldnt really describe ourselves as photogenic, in fact being in front of a camera can be a little awkward for us but Tessa and Emily made us feel so comfortable! Our wedding day was a cold one so i wasnt sure how we were going to get outdoor shots. Tessa and Emily made it as painless as possible. I got to snuggle up in my blanket in between shots and you cant even tell its cold in our pictures. The night shots were also incredible. These two ladies really hustled to capture every moment. I love all the shots of our guests too. Thank you so much for making our day so special. Im so thankful to have beautiful photos to cherish for a lifetime.

We are so happy with our decision to work with Tessa and her team! They made the entire process feel seamless and easy. They have clear pricing and you can pick and choose the package that works for you. The images are legitimately stunning!! She and her team have top notch equipment and skills, and it is so evident in their work. Tessa was a dream to work with! She made us feel so comfortable from the moment we met; like we were talking to a lifelong friend. Neither of us were used to having our photo taken, and she made us look like models! I highly recommend her and her team; they were punctual, professional, and highly skilled. We would hire TMI again in a heartbeat!

We could not be more impressed with the outcome of choosing Tessa Marie Images. Our wedding was exactly a year ago, and we continuously get compliments on our wedding photos. When dealing with the stresses of a wedding, you want to eliminate the potential for worrying wherever you can, which is exactly what we accomplished with Tessa Marie Images. Tessa’s consultation started with gathering our personal style preferences, then she walked us through her pricing and took the time to set us up with a pricing package that comfortably fit within our budget. During the day of the wedding, Tessa and Haley kept things organized, well-paced, and most importantly…fun. Tessa has an infectious personality that will make you feel like a movie star while she’s taking your picture. Now we have AMAZING wedding photos that we are obsessed with. Anytime we hear someone talking about wedding photographers, we always recommend Tessa. And we didn’t really have to write a review because her pictures speak for themselves.

TMI made our wedding day so perfect. Tessa, Haley and Victoria were so professional, experienced and the SWEETEST girls. I didn't have a chance to worry about a single thing while I was in their hands. They knew exactly what they were doing, where to take photos, how to help us feel comfortable posing and don't get me started on how AMAZING the photographs turned out! Tessa went above and beyond throughout the entire wedding planning process to ensure we were well taken care of. From the video calls while we started planning, the engagement session, the QUICK return on photos from the e-session to meeting up days before our wedding day to scout out spots for photos - she just went above and beyond. Besides all of this, she was a true friend throughout the process and took so much stress away from me on the day of. I can't say enough good things about her or her team to anyone. My friends and family LOVED her and couldn't stop gushing about her throughout the entire day (or afterwards now that we've got our incredible photos!) I would HIGHLY recommend TMI to anyone that needs a photographer! You won't be disappointed, I promise.

As a former photographer myself, I was very picky about who I was going to hire to shoot my wedding. Tessa was on my list before I even got engaged, and I absolutely chose correctly! She is just absolutely INCREDIBLE. Not only is her talent insane, she is so professional and fun to be around, and she wrangled our rowdy group with such ease. Even my bridal party and family are still talking about how great she was on our wedding day, and of course how much they love the photos. I sent her a few inspo pics that I wanted for later on in the night (a little grainy and heavy flash) and she totally nailed them! Oh and it rained on our wedding day and she handled it better than I could’ve imagined. If you’re thinking about hiring her, do it now!!

Tessa and her team are the absolute best. If you hired someone else -- try to cancel your contract and hire Tessa- but really. I cannot say enough positive things about Tessa, her energy and her team. They are so professional and their energy will power your day. Tessa has an amazing eye and makes the photo process enjoyable. To say the day had fires is an understatement and Tessa pulled the whole thing together while getting me in line anytime I was about to fall apart. Her direction is the best and she knows how to control a large crowd so that your photos turn out amazing! She is easy to work with and works with you to create a seamless day. With something as important as your wedding- I wouldn't trust anyone else but Tessa and her team!
The photos- I have never looked so good in pictures, let alone our guests. The candids caught the love & laughter of the day. My friends have been hounding me about seeing the entire wedding album once they saw the sneak peeks. Short story- my friend was married and photography was through someone else. The bridal party started giving our own direction by saying 'Remember what Tessa said' and quoting some of her other directional pointers. She left an amazing memory outside of the photos she's provided.
I have never been happier with a vendor in my life. Tessa is so talented at what she does and has a lovely personality to go with. I've received so many compliments about her demeanor.
And lastly, Tessa thank you so much for incredible memories! Vicky did a great job laying our photo album out and we are so excited to look through all of these photos for years to come!

Tessa Marie Images is absolutely incredible. There truly aren't words to describe how wonderful working with Tessa and her team is. Tessa is incredibly professional and personable - she felt like a close friend from the moment we met her, and treated us so warmly, was so kind, and answered all of my insane email questions (I had a lot!). She even met with us to practice posing before our wedding (which was INCREDIBLY helpful). She is a blast to be around - we had such an amazing time when we did our engagement photos and they were beautiful, and the wedding photos were so. much. better. which I didn't think was even possible! During the wedding itself, Tessa and her second shooter Jenessa were just spectacular. I heard from so many of our family and friends that our photographers were fantastic, so nice, so professional. They breezed through our huge family portraits at epic speed and got all the shots during the wedding we could have ever wanted and more - my husband and I are not the most comfortable in front of the camera, and Tessa made us both feel incredibly comfortable and you can just see that in each photo - we look like ourselves in our happiest moments and that's an incredible gift to have captured. There were some where I was legit blown away by how amazing we both looked - and what intimacy she captured with such grace. I cannot recommend Tessa enough. I have had the opportunity to work with a variety of photographers professionally and personally, and Tessa is by far the best, by a landslide. We felt cared for and never worried for a second about the photos - which is an AMAZING thing to not have to worry about - and she by far exceeded our expectations. Do not wait. Call her right now!

"Words cannot describe how amazing our experience was with Tessa! She is so talented and made capturing our wedding go smoothly and she captured everything beautifully! Everyone that attended our wedding were so impressed by her and Vicki that they made sure to comment repeatedly.

Please do yourself a favor, if you are planning a wedding or referring a photographer, please do yourself a favor and hire Tessa!"

We love our photos and can’t thank her enough for such a wonderful experience and memories to last us a lifetime!"
"Tessa and her team were beyond amazing, flexible, and accommodating throughout our whole planning process and wedding day and we’re SO happy we were able to work with them! My husband and I, along with our families and wedding party, can’t stop raving about how incredible everyone was. 100% recommend working with this team!"
"Tessa and her team were absolutely amazing. From the engagement photos to the wedding photos. I will be crying over these for the rest of my life. Tessa was not only super patient with my loud mouth puppy during engagement photos but all my very very shy niece during wedding photos. Would and have recommended to anyone who needs a photographer!"
"Tessa is the BEST at what she does. She made us feel so comfortable during our engagement shoot & on our wedding day — all of our pictures were amazing. She goes above and beyond to make sure everything runs smoothly & she is just fun to be around. Highly recommend!"
"Tessa and Victoria were the most amazing photographers to work with! They kept the family and bridal party on task and on schedule (which is no easy feat!). They were able to get us amazing pictures all over the venue's property and get us back to cocktail hour in time to enjoy our friends and family. They were punctual, flexible and professional and were able to even stay later than planned for us to catch more of our party and special moments. We literally want to plan another event just to work with this amazing company again! You will not be disappointed working with them!"
"Tessa is absolutely the best! Not only is she a wonderful photographer but she is a great person! She had everything laid out just perfectly to make our wedding day go smooth while capturing amazing photos! She goes above and beyond to make sure EVERYTHING is done and on time. Vicki her assistant was wonderful as well! They make a great pair and highly recommend having Tessa and her team part of your big day!"
"Tessa was truly wonderful to work with. Going into our engagement photos we were both a bit nervous, but Tessa had us comfortable and laughing right away which made us only more excited to have her for our wedding day. Tessa (and Vicki on the wedding day) captured not just the perfectly staged photos but all the sweet moments in between of us and of all our loved ones. We could not be more thrilled with the final photos, Tessa and Vicki made sure everything went so smoothly the day of the wedding we did not feel an ounce of stress and had no concerns that our photos would be amazing. We got our preview in the expected timeframe and our full photos at a great turnaround rate. We plan to recommend Tessa and her team to anyone and everyone that asks!"
"Tessa does AMAZING work. We were lucky enough to have her for our engagement session, our wedding ceremony, AND our wedding reception. She works with you to ensure that she is able to provide whatever you are looking for. She is very responsive and easy to work with. Highly recommend! Her work is absolutely STUNNING!"
"Tessa and team are the best wedding photographers in the Philadelphia area. We are so happy with our decision to go with Tessa. After having to postpone our wedding due to COVID, Tessa worked with us to secure our new date. On our wedding day Tessa and Emily were the best. They made sure all photos got taken and were there capturing our special day. All of our family and guests spoke highly of Tessa and Emily. You will not go wrong using Tessa Marie Images!"
"Tessa and her team were professional, timely, personable and a whole lot of fun! She made the day go seamlessly. Our bridal party and wedding planner highly enjoyed spending the day with her and her team. We absolutely LOVED having her shoot our day. We recommend Tessa Marie Images to anyone that wants a team that will fit in with your loved ones! Not only that.... the pictures came out more amazing than we ever anticipated!! Thanks, Tessa for capturing our day so perfectly!"
"Tessa is the best in the business! From the beginning, she made the planning process and communication easy and enjoyable. We planned to have an intimate church ceremony in April 2021 and then have our full wedding reception in May 2021, and Tessa worked with us to split the hours from the package we purchased over both days, which was extremely important to us. Every other photographer I had contacted was no where near as flexible and accommodating. From our engagement shoot to both wedding events, she was so professional, knowledgeable and fun! She is great at the little personalized touches like a welcome box, confetti popper and hand written notes, which goes a long way. And the artistry of her work is even more impressive! All of our pictures have blown us away. Many of our guests couldn’t stop talking about how awesome she was at directing people and capturing moments. She helped make our wedding the best day ever, and we can’t wait to work with her again!"
"We booked Tessa Marie’s Images for our wedding 9/20/2019 and Haley and Reagan were our photographers for the day. I could not be more happy with how our pictures turned out! They captured everything, even details I wouldn’t have thought to even ask for!! They were so fun to work with and many of our guests commented on how great they were! We chose not to have a videographer and I am not upset because of the number and variety of images captured by Haley! Each image takes me back to the exact moment in the day when it happened. I will truly treasure these images forever! Thank you Haley for capturing our wedding so beautifully!!”
"I don't think Tessa needs another amazing review, but I just love her to death and need to shout it from the rooftop. My wedding was November 12, 2016. I haven't received my wedding sneak peek yet, but I don't have to to know the pictures will be incredible. I saw her pictures of a friend's engagement session, and didn't look at any other photographers. I booked Tessa right away. She is always so bubbly and friendly, which is great because my husband and I are so shy! She takes control of both engagement and wedding sessions, and sticks to schedule perfectly. She meant business during family formals! We were in and out in twenty minutes, as promised! The coolest part is that I didn't have to give her a "shot list" that I see so many other brides making. She knew exactly what pictures to take! I only wish that I could have had her come earlier, so that I could get a picture with my 2 month old nephew, among just a couple other shots. With the time given, I'm positive that she was able to capture all of the best moments of the day. The most thoughtful part of the day was when she came up to me to warn me that her time was up, but wanted to make sure that she got our cake cutting and garter toss. I immediately took off to go get those events going, and she gladly stuck around the extra few minutes. She could have just said that her time was up and left! She is truly an incredible person and artist and I am so glad that her work popped up on my newsfeed almost two years ago. Can't wait to get my wedding pictures!!!"
"To start I have to admit I didn't meet with any other photographers other than Tessa, but I can honestly say, I 100% don't regret not wasting another minute looking. Tessa was absolutely amazing to work with and I knew it from the first meeting. If you are looking for a photographer that is professional yet extremely personable, high energy, striving for the highest quality and someone with a beautiful personality, I would stop looking as well, because she has it all. And her assistant Jenessa is a perfect match to her and they were a dream to work with. They both have an artistic eye that makes for amazing pictures. Tessa knows exactly how to get a perfect shot and you can tell by her work ethic that she is doing everything to make each shot look beautiful. My husband and I are not very comfortable in front of the camera and I would never consider us photogenic, but Tessa has this special skill of making us comfortable and relaxed in every picture. She was an amazing "coach" and knew exactly how to direct us for the beautiful pictures. On our wedding day she was beyond flexible and patient and worked around the chaos that ensues with any wedding day. She made huge efforts to focus on me as the bride to get amazing pictures as Jenessa took time to photograph the groomsmen getting ready. I could go on and on about how much I loved working with Tessa, but I'll just end with saying that I couldn't imagine this process and my wedding day without her and I cant wait to continue to watch her and her company grow into an even bigger success than it already is."
"My experience with Tessa Marie Images was nothing short of stellar. After meeting with Tessa for the first time to discuss our wedding details, I immediately knew we had picked the right photographer. We instantly felt like we were talking with a life long friend because of her bubbly personality.
Aside from her friendliness, Tessa was bursting with exquisite professionalism and a deep knowledge of photography. I left that first meeting feeling like a weight had been taken off my shoulders. I knew I no longer had to worry about the outcome of my wedding photos. Tessa was extremely flexible and stayed in communication with us throughout our entire wedding planning process. There were several times during our special day I looked to see if someone was taking a picture of "this" or "that" and Tessa and her assistant were ALWAYS there, capturing our memories. This was again proven to us once we received our final pictures. Not one thing was overlooked or forgotten.
Tessa took pictures I would have never thought to ask for, but am so thankful that I now have in my possession. Tessa's photography is truly one a kind and I am forever grateful that I chose her to capture my wedding day. Thank You!"
"My husband and I were lucky enough to have Tessa photograph our recent wedding, and we could not be happier we chose Tessa Marie Images to capture our big day. Tessa is so easy and fun to work with- we had friends in our bridal party rave about how much they enjoyed working with Tessa during our big day as well! I can be very picky about pictures, and I can honestly say I’ve loved ALL of the pictures we received from Tessa, both from our engagement shoot and our wedding. Tessa has a real gift of capturing all of the special moments on your wedding day. We can’t recommend her enough!"
"As a former Global Head of Marketing for a large financial services firm responsible for throwing lavish events, I wanted to make sure that no detail of my wedding day was left unattended or undocumented. Tessa came highly recommended by several different people at my Philadelphia based church who had Tessa shoot events for them or knew of her talent through word of mouth. After evaluating various photographers and comparing their online portfolios and in person presentations my now husband and I decided to go with Tessa Marie Images. Tessa and her accompanying staff members were professional from the onset of our relationship to the end. Not only is the quality of Tessa’s photographs top-notch but her capability to embrace technology to efficiently and aesthetically disseminate the photographs in a timely and organized manner is unparalleled. Tessa documents her shoots by use of a blog, shares sneak peek photos on Facebook shortly after the wedding and delivers all of the final photos on a secure web portal that can also be viewed by all guests. My husband and I were very pleased with the services that we received leading up to our wedding, on the day of our wedding and our after wedding shoot. I highly recommend Tessa to any brides to be."
"I know that seeing a review where the vendor received 5 stars across the board seems unbelievable, but Tessa is absolutely amazing! I have known Tessa since High School, and watching her business grow and seeing her work throughout the years, I knew she was the photographer I wanted for my wedding when the day came. Tessa and her assistant Jenessa were wonderful to work with. They work extremely well together, and we had absolutely no issues at all on our wedding day. I can't say enough just how great Tessa Marie Images is. We have only received a sneak preview of our wedding photos, our wedding was 12/13/14, but so far we could not be happier! Tessa has a true eye for capturing amazing moments in time. She captures everything you want to remember and look back on, about your wedding day. My husband and I were so happy we chose TMI to photograph our wedding. If you're looking for a photographer that truly cares about all of the details you care about for your wedding day, you should definitely book Tessa Marie Images. Tessa loves what she does and you can tell that from looking at her work. From the first conversation you have together, you just know your wedding or event will be photographed by a professional, that takes her work seriously and yet has an absolute blast the entire time."
"TMI is the real deal!! If you are looking to have star quality photos for your special day look no further! Tessa was the most perfect photographer, planner and visionary from our engagement photos, to my boudoir photo shoot and to our wedding day! She was so incredibly flexible with all of our questions, requests and concerns leading up to each shoot and made everything run so seamlessly. The amount of compliments we have received on our pictures is astounding however not surprising considering how talented Tessa and her entire crew are. They are the sweetest group of girls to work with and they are so attentive, professional and organized. Tessa and Jenessa were incredible the day of our wedding and instantly became apart of our wedding party and family! The easiest and best decision we made (besides marrying each other) was picking Tessa Marie Images for our day. We have and will continue to recommend them to anyone and everyone we know for any of their photo needs! We are so happy we will have these beautiful images to look at for the rest of our lives!"
"Tessa is a truly gifted photographer who captures stunning photos - very inventive with her ideas... her photos speak for themselves. What you may not realize is what an integral role Tessa provides for you as a couple during the wedding - she truly keeps the train on the tracks, your family cooperating and calm & sane throughout the event. An absolutely incredible photographer, part wedding planner and an absolute pleasure to spend the whole day with. At the end of the night, my family was chanting her name, and we've been getting endless texts about how fantastic she was. Do not hesitate, hire her immediately. You will not regret it."
"If you are considering Tessa and her team for your wedding, don’t hesitate one second to use them. They created incredibly beautiful pictures of our wedding day and engagement session. They were always extremely punctual, professional, creative and friendly! They have the best interest of their bride and grooms at heart which you can feel from every interaction."
"Tessa is an absolute natural at her job! She kept the day running smoothly and made sure we got all the shots we wanted. She went above and beyond and was fixing my dress throughout the day! We 100% made the right decision having her photograph our wedding day! 10/10 recommend and would hire her again in a heartbeat!"
"Tessa's is a pro and her work is just beautiful. She took wonderful, natural candids full of life and expression. Tessa is extremely talented, has a nice personality, and is full of energy. We are so thrilled to have had Tessa at our wedding!"
"Tessa and Haley were both amazing to work with on our big day. They made you feel comfortable in front of the camera and gave a lot of direction, which we loved! The pictures turned out amazing and I can't wait to receive our wedding album. I would highly recommend the TMI team for you big day. You won't regret it."
"We are so lucky to have booked Tessa for our engagement and upcoming wedding!! We originally saw Tessa's work from our friend's engagement shoot and we automatically knew we had to book her. We had such a great time taking our engagement pictures in Central Park! Not only was it so much fun, but she made us feel completely comfortable the entire time! The pictures she took came out absolutely amazing and we couldn't be happier with them!! We can't wait to see what she has in store for our upcoming wedding!!! We would highly recommend Tessa to anyone looking for an extremely talented, professional, and awesome photographer for any of their special events!"
"I can't say enough good things about our experience with the TMI team! Tessa and her team made us both feel so comfortable and energized, there was never an awkward moment. Even when Tessa walked into the bridal suite while my sister and I were singing to each other with hairbrushes as microphones...Tessa did not skip a beat, just started taking pictures and having a good time with us! Book with TMI Images, you will be glad that you did!"
"It is honestly hard to find words because my experience with Tessa was THAT good. Book her, those are my words, do it now. From responsiveness to her excitement for our pictures and our love story; to being the master of ceremonies on the day of, just perfection. As a bride I can say I am truly HONORED to have worked with Tessa on our day.
P.S. - we also went from a 200 person wedding to a 14 person wedding and Tessa could not have been more accommodating with the change we had to make to our agreement."
"Tessa Marie Images is AMAZING!! Though my husband and I did not get to book with Tessa herself (she was already booked for our date), her teammate Haley stepped in. She was just as amazing!!! Easy to book with (and super flexible since we lived 3 1/2 hours away), communication was constant and she was super nice in person! The pictures she took for our engagement and our wedding turned out GORGEOUS! She went above and beyond our expectations. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!"
"There are no words that can accurately describe how absolutely perfect Tessa and Hailey are! They are personable, caring and compassionate... all qualities which shine through in their work. Having them at our wedding didn’t feel like a couple of vendors hanging around, but rather like a couple of friends who happened to be toting cameras. If you are on the fence about booking a photographer, look no farther. TMI is the way to go."
"She. Is. Amazing. We hired TMI for our wedding and were just tickled pink with our choice. She KNOWS what she is doing and works with efficiency and excellence. Tessa not only shot STUNNING photos capturing our day so well, but she went above and beyond her duty! She taught me how to do the wobble haha and she recommended a change in the flow of our reception so that our guests had a more pleasant experience and it flowed better. She is timely and professional, yet personal and easy to work with on your special day. We will be using TMI over and over again :)"
"We cannot thank Tessa and Victoria for everything they did on our wedding day. They kept the day flowing smoothly, and answered everyone’s questions when needed. Tessa kept me calm, cool and collected through out the day. Even though it rained on our wedding day, Tessa worked with the weather so that we will have picture perfect photos. She is amazing and is excellent at what she does! I know that for all of our milestones in life, I will continue to have Tessa capture those moments."
"Tessa and her staff are amazing from start to finish! The photos of our daughter & son-in-law's wedding are stunning! My daughter knew exactly what she was looking for having a photography background herself, and Tessa was a perfect match! Tessa captured spectacular moments of the wedding at Stoltzfus Homestead and Gardens throughout the day! The group photo shoots were seamlessly orchestrated and the rest of the day she and her team worked tirelessly behind the scenes. They were fun, professional, and caring! And did we mention her photography is stunning?! Tessa Marie Images is awesome!"
"Tessa and her crew were absolutely amazing! When I got back my pictures (which was super fast!) i was just floored. Everything about them were gorgeous. It was so amazing how she could capture an entire day in photos and while looking through them it was like we were reliving the day. It was the best. I would recommend TMI to anyone because they will not disappoint for a second. Thanks for everything guys!! <333"
"Haley and Victoria were FANTASTIC!!! Watching the blog of Tessa Marie Images for a few years, I knew with out a doubt I would trust the work of TMI to capture my dream day. These girls did not miss a single moment. Haley and Victoria were absolutely professional, yet still fun and made everyone feel comfortable, and themselves. The girls captured the staged photos, making sure everyone's smiles, hair, dresses, etc. were perfect. They also snapped real candids allowing me to relive the day. So thankful for these girls!"
"These reviews say it all. Tessa did our engagement shoot and wedding and we have nothing but excellent things to say about her. She is extremely professional, personal, assertive and talented - and quite honestly just a happy and fun person to be around. We absolutely love the result and she made working with her easy. My husband and I both come from enormous families and she handled the family portraits so well that multiple members of our family told us how impressed they were by her and how she handled the mob of family. If you're between any other photographer and Tessa, your future self will thank you for choosing TMI!"
"We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Tessa! She is a delight to work with; professional, organized, calm, and upbeat. She made our wedding day photography easy, pleasant and smooth. Our family was totally impressed by her and Haley. On top of that she is unbelievably talented. Our photos from both our engagement session and wedding are stunning. She captures emotion and energy for a beautiful result. I can't say enough good things!"
"I am a wedding planner, along with my business partner Erica. We had the pleasure of working with Tessa and her second shooter Victoria and they were absolutely amazing. Such a calming force throughout the day for the bride and groom and we repeatedly commented throughout the day that the wedding was going off flawlessly! That was due to the wonderful opportunity to collaborate with such professional photographers. Not to mention that the photos are absolutely beautiful! Thanks Tessa!!"
"The BEST experience! We had Tessa Marie Images as our wedding photographer and couldn't have asked for anything more. We received clear communication, BEAUTIFUL images and her team was fantastic at the wedding. They easily worked with our families and friends to get pictures that we will treasure for years to come. Thank you TMI! We WILL be using them for so many more memories ahead.."
"Tessa & her team are absolutely THE BEST. Not only are they reasonably priced for the incredible photos they capture, but they make posing so comfortable, easy, quick, and fun! I hate taking pictures because I have no idea how to pose but Tessa and Jenessa made me feel like a beauty queen on my wedding day. I promise you you will NOT be disappointed having Tessa Marie Images share in your wedding day, and you will be thankful to have the beautiful pictures they take with you to cherish forever."
"I did not book our wedding venue until I was sure Tessa Marie Images would be available to be our photographers on that date. Tessa and her staff are a must-hire for your wedding. They are patient, organized, professional, reassuring, upbeat, creative, talented, and wonderful. The pictures were absolutely beautiful, and were everything we were looking for. Book them. You won't regret it."
"My engagement and wedding photos have been so beautiful! The cost was absolutely worth the priceless memories Tessa and her team were able to capture, the joy she brought to my wedding day (despite the wind and the cold), and her willingness to answer any and all questions I had throughout the process."
"I cannot sing Tessa's praises enough! It has been almost a month and my wedding party still tells me how amazing her and her team were to work with! Beyond being extremely talented, she is extremely easy going and it is hard to not instantly feel comfortable with her. Our engagement session turned out AMAZING and so far we've only seen our sneak preview on her blog of our wedding and some Instagram shots, and to say I'm blown away is a huge understatement! I could not be happier with how perfectly her and her team captured the love and happiness of our day! Absolute perfection! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!!!"
"We can't even begin to explain how happy we are that we chose Tessa and her team to capture our wedding day. Tessa is unbelievably organized and will make sure you do not have a thing to worry about on your big day. Not only is her team a joy to work with, but the end product left us speechless. We have been told by numerous people that our photos are the best wedding photos they have ever seen. Not much more you can ask for out of a vendor. Professional, creative and passionate. If we had to do it all over again we would pick TMI in a heartbeat."
"Tessa and her assistant are amazing! Our engagement and wedding photos came out beautifully. Tessa is great to work with, professional, flexible, and reasonable. Tessa knows how to make you look your best in every photo! I never thought we would photograph that well, but she has the magic touch. Definitely use Tessa Marie Images for your wedding!"
"My daughter was married at Stoltzfus Homestead and Gardens on May 29, 2016 near Lancaster, PA. Tessa Smucker is an exceptional photographer and she did the engagement and wedding photographs. Her photos are very interesting and artsy! I would recommend her to anyone with a need for a good photographer!"
"Tessa is the best! Look no further! There are a zillion "photographers" out there but Tessa is the real deal. She is super knowledgeable and so kind to work with. Her team is professional and take extraordinary images. I am so happy with our images."
"I was a bridesmaid in a wedding that Tessa Marie Images shot and I just had to leave a review after my incredible experience. This team is phenomenal! They made the day absolutely the funnest and had such great picture ideas that really highlighted by best friend's personality and beauty! As a bridal party we had so much fun with them and when I saw the pictures I was floored by the quality and crispness of each and every image. I will be recommending them to anyone I know!"
"I have been a bridesmaid and now a bride in a wedding by Tessa Marie! Let me just tell you, if you are a type A personality, you NEED her. If you are a creative personality, you WANT her. She is everything all in one. Her team is amazing! Tessa has been worth every penny to me, because her true friendship and selfless love towards brides and their families is invaluable. I did my boudoir shoot with her as well and my husband cannot stop drooling. I am so excited to maintain business with her as my life's events unfold, but she is an absolute MUST for your wedding! This girl will answer your texts in the middle of the night when you're anxious, deal with your pesky distant relatives, and give you the best creative image imaginable Thank you Tessa for making my dreams come true!!"
"Tessa & her second, Jenessa Seiz, did a fabulous job on my portraits! They stayed completely out of the way throughout the day but some how managed to capture every detail! They also coordinate activities during the event, truly going above and beyond the call of a photographer. I'm so in love with all my pictures, I don't know which ones to choose to frame. They were so much fun to work with and I am floored by the overall quality. Great work all around. I highly recommend Tessa Marie Images for any event! I will absolutely be using and referring her services in the future.
XOXO"
"Tessa is incredible. I originally went with a different photographer but had a scare a few weeks ago and changed just 1 month before my wedding. Tessa was quick to respond, very accommodating and her pictures online were great. My biggest concern was getting a professional who would keep me on schedule, manage my loud family and knew I wasn't interested in spending hours taking photographs. She took charge and made me extremely comfortable. Everything about her was great, affordable, accommodating, talented, I couldn't ask for a better photographer. I'd definitely recommend her."
"Tessa Marie Images is an incredible find. Tessa's photos are absolutely stunning, timeless, and she is very good about getting the images back to you quickly. I would highly recommend her photography to anyone and she is a joy to work with. She is creative, efficient, professional, sweet, and so fun! She made our wedding day flow so well and was sure to capture every amazing moment as well as the little moments that I was too distracted to notice on our wedding day! Our photos turned out amazingly and we have received so many compliments on them. Extremely talented and fantastic photographer!!"
"Amazing!!! Tessa and Jenessa have created beautiful images of the memories we will cherish for a lifetime. What a fun loving, talented and creative duo to work with!! Our engagement session photos were incredible, and from what I've seen so far from our May 30th wedding, the final product is going to blow our minds! Tessa captured some absolutely gorgeous moments throughout the day and she did not stop until every memory was caught on film. Tessa listened to what we were looking for, but also put her own creative spin on things and I could not have asked for a better experience. We had an insanely large bridal party (28 including us!) and Tessa made it work! Not an easy feat! I love looking at our wedding photos and I am so thankful we found Tessa to document what was surely one of the best days of our lives!"
"Tessa Marie Images is the most amazing photographer! As a bride I am at a loss for words to even explain how genuine, creative, and down to earth Tessa & her assistant Jenessa are. They make your wedding day all about you and truly capture the beauty and emotion of everything. They get to know their clients prior to and during your engagement session so on your wedding day you are ensured that you love the quality of their work and what they have to offer as an amazing photographer!"
"Tessa was a pleasure to work with. She was always smiling and had a great work ethic. She was always open to suggestions and very attentive. Definitely a must have for your special day!"
"Tessa Marie images was one of the best decisions for my wedding. Tessa was very intentional with getting to know us as a couple before the wedding and made sure she knew what we wanted on the big day. She helped to make the wedding day stress free and every moment enjoyable. Tessa and her team were always upbeat and very professional with very creative ideas. The best part is that our picture a turned out beautiful! I have the most perfect photo book to look back on and relive my perfect day!"
"Having Tessa Smucker be my photographer for our wedding was the best decision I made. She caught the moments that matter the most of our special day. She was always by my side. Capturing even the smallest moments. She was fast. The pictures I thought would take the longest she finished in a jiffy. She always knew exactly what to do and explained everything perfectly. I was never stressed. She made me feel beautiful. The finished products were PERFECT."
"Thanks to Tessa with Tessa Marie Images & her photography skills and talents I am able to view my wedding album and photos time and time again to relive the beauty of my wedding day. Tessa & her company did a fabulous job capturing the details and special moments of my wedding and I cannot thank her enough! From the initial meeting with Tessa to the morning of the wedding day, I felt comfortable and confident with the company.
Tessa is flexible, friendly and confident in her photography skills which attracted me as a soon-to-be bride looking for a photography company. I was impressed with her organization and timely fashion. Tessa took the time initially to get to know my husband and I by asking us a series of questions to answer followed by a meet and greet. She wanted the day to be all about her client's and it was obvious that she strives for perfection in her photography which was much appreciated. Tessa is timely with deadlines as well which made working with her that much better.
Ultimately, I am so glad that I was able to have a great photography company that I could trust to capture my day so perfectly. TessaMarieImages is brilliant, full of life and spot-on with today's new photography skills and styles. Thank you Tessa and TessaMarieImages for making my day so tremendous!"
"Tessa Marie Images was an absolute top notch choice! She stepped in almost last minute and still had amazing professionalism and treated me like I was a long time friend. The amount of time she puts in to get to know the bride/the couple is amazing!
I was nervous to have a stranger taking pictures and also about having unflattering photos-- Tessa eased my fears and my photos came out better then I could have dreamed! Plus she gave me so many to choose from!
I recommend her to anyone who wants the type of wedding photos that are worthy to be hanging on the walls of your great grand children ... Beautiful, timeless, and high quality."
"Loved having Tessa Marie images as our wedding photographer! She was a very fun part of our day and captured incredible shots that "wowed" us many others! She was easy to contact and work with. She was very timely and organized the entire wedding day."
"Tessa may be my employer, but she was also my wedding photographer just a few sweet days ago. And, from a bride's perspective, she is even more amazing than I could have ever anticipated. I never once worried about our timeline, who was supposed to be where or when, she kept things moving just perfectly. She is the perfect balance between energetic and personal, and professional. Hiring her to take my wedding photos was a dream from the very first day. Her secret mission to photograph our proposal, our engagement shoot, and wedding photos look even better in print than they do on digital files and have far surpassed my expectations even as a fellow photographer. HIRE HER ASAP BECAUSE SHE IS GOING TO RULE THE PHOTOGRAPHY WORLD."
"Tessa Marie Images is AMAZING! We hired her to photograph our son's wedding and we run a wedding venue where she has been a top choice for brides. Tessa Marie has an incredible eye to capture the most special moments of your most special day. It's the little things, like a laugh shared, a tear shed, a meaningful smile - all of the moments that are often overlooked that Tessa captures so brilliantly. She is always on the move at every event, constantly looking for for special moments to capture. So alert, attentive, artistic. We go through our albums again and again and we still find elements in the photos that we discover for the first time. She is well educated, has a ton of experience and is oh so gifted as an artistic photographer."
"To say I was satisfied with my wedding photography is an understatement. Overjoyed is more like it. From beginning to end Tessa was fabulous to work with. She was very quick in getting back to me, even after my event. She did our engagement session and wedding day. Our engagement photos were outstanding. She is a natural at making you both feel comfortable and is great at giving recommendations to get the best photo. Since we had the engagement session with her, I felt like our wedding day was a breeze. We were both comfortable with her, which made our wedding party comfortable as well. I cannot put into words how much I appreciated her and her second shooter Jenessa on our day. They were both accommodating, efficient and pleasant. My venue was a urban, chic renovated brick warehouse and Tessa hit it out of the park. She captured the modern urban feel I love with a touch of the classic wedding look I had hoped for. I was so happy with all my photos, they were so wonderful I had them on our thank you's and christmas cards this year! I would recommend Tessa Marie Images to anyone and be confident that you are in the very best hands."
"Those folks that say your wedding day goes by quicker than one can say "I do" are certainly right. The ephemerality of such an important day makes it difficult for the mind to capture all of those memories that should last forever. Fortunately for my wife and I, our memories of that day are forever preserved in gorgeous color and splendor thanks to the experts at Tessa Marie Images. Tessa and Haley were able to give us the lasting gift of being able to relive the moments and emotions captured so wonderfully in their photographs. Their professionalism was so gracefully offset by a fun and lighthearted attitude that melted away any of the stress or awkwardness associated with amateurs posing for photo after photo. They were able to make us feel comfortable and relaxed and provided an experience that we will truly cherish. If you are reading this while hunting for your wedding day vendors, you need not continue to search for a photographer because either Tessa, Haley, or any other photographers in TMI's employ will provide everything you could ask for on your special day (assuming they are available)."
"We worked with Haley & Victoria for our engagement pictures and for our 11/3/2018 wedding at Christ Church & Hotel Monaco in Philadelphia. Both Haley and Victoria did an amazing job and we are extremely happy with the pictures that we received for our engagement session and as well as the "sneak peak" of our wedding day ... we can't wait to see the rest. Since Haley was our main shooter, we got to know her pretty well and she was organized, took charge the day of to get the shots we wanted and was overall just a genuinely good person in addition to being a wonderful photographer. We highly recommend TMI and Haley/Victoria! The one thing I would recommend to anyone looking at Haley's packages would be to just purchase the more expensive one because it includes the flash drive of all of your engagement pics as well as the photo album and you are definitely going to want both of those in the end so just book that from the beginning."
"Tessa was the absolute best wedding photographer we could have asked for! She does an amazing job at making you feel comfortable and confident, and that translates to her photos. She is also very organized and will make sure your day runs smoothly- I was running late from hair and makeup, but Tessa managed to take charge and get our day back on track. All of our family and friends raved about how great she was the day of, and cannot wait to see more of the wedding photos! By the end of the night, my husband and I were so sad that the day was over because we had so much fun working with her. I have already, and will continue to recommend her to upcoming brides because she is truly the best out there!"
"From the moment I saw Tessa’s work, I new I wanted her to be my photographer for our wedding day. Her pictures are so real and capture the true beauty of whatever she is shooting. We had a long engagement and I had booked TMI 3 years out; then Covid hit and Tessa and the team worked so quickly with us to make sure we could re-secure another date. Over the entire time(3 years) there was always clear communication and we never had any confusion. She was so flexible; even came to the beach to do our engagement photos. The day of TMI was nothing short of amazing. They were so excited and helpful. Tessa kept us on a schedule, but one that fit my needs. Her team really made me feel like my day was special and all about me ( and my husband)! They were very professional and had a lot of creative ideas for photos. I am still obsessed with looking at them. Their work is A++++. Thank you TMI for all you did. I love I’ll have these pictures to cherish forever forever now! I would recommend you to anyone!"
"Tessa was amazing from the start of our engagement to the end of our wedding day. Her services included free engagement photos. During the session she spent quality time getting to know us and teaching us how to find our good sides. And when those pictures came, our jaws hit the floor. We looked amazing, sophisticated and so in love with each other.
Then when it came time for the wedding day Tessa really helped pull things together, whether it be traveling to a difficult location, finding spots off the beaten trail for amazing pictures, to not being intimated by my lovely, but controlling Dad, she really did everything in her power to make our day special and get some beautiful pictures in the process. I'm not really a picture girl, but Tessa was both able to bring out the fun, and beauty of every shot, and knew when I was getting photo fatigued, and wrapped it up. I would highly recommend Tessa Marie Images, and we plan to contact her again for our next big life event."
"I don’t even know where to start, Tessa has photographed both of my sisters weddings so I have seen her do her thing with the camera a few times now ... She is quite amazing so of course it was a no brainer to hire her for my own wedding - but she honestly exceeded all my expectations! She listened to exactly everything we wanted, worked with us especially through all the craziness & changes that had to me made bc of 2020 and COVID... I pretty much had to change everything about my wedding but I kept the photographer and I am so happy I did. We now have these precious memories forever, our wedding pictures are something we will look back on forever and for your wedding it so worth hiring only THE BEST - Tessa! I am super camera shy but she made me feel really comfortable and made me laugh, she was patient with all my requests and questions, she knows what she is doing and will make you look more beautiful than you thought you could ever look. I can’t stop looking at the photos and want to hire her for every event for the rest of time! Thank you Tessa!"

Oh Tessa. I cannot begin to say enough about how wonderful it has been to work with her. Everything about her work exceeds any brides expectations. Getting married can get stressful, and what I have loved about working with Tessa is that she is personable, professional, makes the environment sooo fun and her quality is top notch. She did my senior pictures, my proposal, engagement session and my wedding. I would not go to anyone else and trust them to capture my special day. If you are trying to decide who to be your photographer, Tessa is the girl for you. She was prompt, organized and made it so easy to enjoy every step of the day and still capture every blissful moment. Her staff have also been great to work with and offer the top notch quality that Tessa does and have an extreme amount of talent as well. You cannot go wrong with this group of hardworking girls to capture all the special seasons life has to offer.
"Where do I even begin with Tessa!? If you are looking for a wedding photographer, stop now, look no further, you have found her! If photography is anywhere near the top of your wedding priority list, Tessa is who you need. First of all, you will not find a vendor sweeter, more personable, easy to work with or quick to respond. The quality she provides in attitude and professionalism alone is worth it - but the insanely beautiful quality of her work is icing on the cake. Before I even knew my husband, I knew Tessa was who I wanted as my wedding photographer because her photographs so beautifully capture the personality and essence of every couple she works with. She focuses on what is important to you and your spouse but is also very sensitive to family dynamics and an expert at handling competing personalities. She also can move and coordinate large groups like a conductor with an orchestra. I will never stop being so incredibly thankful for the photographs of my wedding day that Tessa captured - we will treasure them for decades to come <3"
Our biggest concerns were finding the perfect photographer and videographer and as soon as we talked to Tessa, we knew she would be perfect. Her portfolio was flawless and she came highly recommended by one of the venues we looked at. When we met Tessa for the engagement shoot, we were feeling uncomfortable and awkward but it only took minutes for us to feel comfortable with her and what we were doing. We knew based on that experience, our wedding would be easy and it was. She is super punctual and organized and made sure we stayed on schedule. That being said, she was flexible when I wanted to duck back into the spa to have some of my hair re-curled before the couples shoot and when we wanted to go a bit out of the way to get a particular shot with covered bridges (we got married in Lancaster). The day was so smooth and we got all of the shots we wanted then we just had to wait for her to do the editing and post them online. It was well worth the wait- we got almost 1000 pictures and they perfectly captured the day. Tessa is the type of person that after you meet, you also want to be friends, not just see her twice for the engagement shoot and wedding day. She's a fantastic choice and we will cherish our pictures forever!!
"I first saw Tessa's photos when I went to look at Stoltzfus Homestead and Gardens and immediately fell in love with her photography. Picking a photographer is quite difficult because their is so many different styles of art and some often look similar, however I would not choose anyone to take my photos ever again for any major event. When first booking Tessa she got to know each one of us at a personal level and truly cared about each one of us as individuals. Tessa always had a smile on her face and never made us feel uncomfortable. We got married in Lancaster on Sept 23, 2017 and honestly if I didn't have her in my life my wedding would have not been on schedule. Tessa kept us going but also allowed us to have fun, which is the most important part! Not only is she an amazing photographer, but she even helped us during the reception make glow stick necklaces. I honestly don't know how she survived a whole day with us. I truly could not recommend a better photographer. She is not only an amazing person with a huge heart, but she also takes amazing photos and is someone who you do not want to miss out on!"
Excellent. Well organized with peak efficiency. Felt as if no time was lost from the reception .
"Tessa and her team were the BEST! From the kick off candies down to the fanciest USB drive I have ever seen! Totally worth every penny and we LOVE our photos."
"Tessa and her staff are AMAZING!! She has been with us from our engagement shoot to our wedding and I cant say enough good things about her! She’s the nicest, most caring person you’ll ever meet and her pictures are beautiful. I’m so thankful I got to have her there on my wedding day. If you’re looking for a photographer, her and her team are the best!"
"Tessa was everything one could want in a wedding photographer. Punctual, excellent communication, clear directions when needed to organize photos. And most importantly of course, a wonderfully talented photographer."
