Becca & Paul // 2021 Wedding
“YASSSSS TESSA! We hired Tessa as our engagement and wedding photographer and could not have been happier!
From the start of our engagement session she had us laughing and feeling comfortable and captured our authentic and true selves on camera. When there was a shot she really wanted, she walked right into the river and soaked her pants to get that shot. She's dedicated, talented and so fun to be around.
On our wedding day she captured all the moments, kept us on time, and was somehow everywhere at once because she seriously got shots of everything. She is so talented at what she does - we were blown away by our wedding gallery. It's a perfect mix of the big moments, the nice smiling pictures, the candid shots, the tender moments. She's the real deal, best in the business kind of gal. We cannot recommend her highly enough.”
Maddie & Joe // 2021 Wedding
“Tessa shot our wedding in November of 2021 and I CANNOT say enough great things about her. I originally hired her because I was in a wedding that she shot at and I couldn't believe how organized the entire day was and from talking to the bride it was clear that Tessa played a HUGE part in how smoothly the entire day. I can say the exact same thing from my wedding day. She is hands down the best investment you could make for your big day. She goes WAY above and beyond for her couples. Yes she is your photographer, but she really does so much more than "just" take pictures. She helped create our entire timeline for our day and helped coordinate exactly where and what time everyone should be on our day. She also makes you feel so good and so comfortable in front of the camera. Lastly, Tessa KNOWS weddings. I asked her SO many questions on the wedding day and the days leading up to the weddings about how things are supposed to go, what people typically do etc and she knew answers to everything. Tessa is honestly the GOAT of Minnesota photography and I would recommend her 1000 times over.”
Jessica & Jordan // 2021 Wedding
“Hands down, Tessa was the best decision we ever made. She was responsive, organized, down to earth and made everything so fun and natural! She comes prepared. Even when you think you have the day organized, she's three steps ahead of you keeping you on schedule and making sure that everything is staying on track. She even had hand warmers for our entire bridal party (we had a November wedding and it was sleeting that day - you can't even tell but all the girls had hand warmers around their bouquets!) She was extremely personable and everyone had nothing but positive things to say about Tessa on our wedding day. We are forever grateful that we have these photos to cherish and she captured moments that we weren't even around for. She's worth it, you will not be disappointed!”
Sammy & Sam // 2020 Wedding
“TESSA WAS INCREDIBLE to say the least! Our photos turned out amazingly, she was so much fun to have shooting for us the day of, she helped our timeline for our day run super smoothly, and she had awesome ideas for photos for everyone. She also was very receptive to our wants and wishes as well as was timely with communication and getting us our photos. We had her take both our engagement and wedding photos, and I had her do boudoir photos as well as some business shots for me. All the work that she produces is top notch! We've gotten so many amazing compliments on our photos. Investing in Tessa for your photos is something I will always be thankful that I did! 10/10!”
Katie & Nick // 2020 Wedding
“WE CANNOT RECOMMEND TESSA ENOUGH! She was worth every single penny. Tessa goes above and beyond to make your photos and experience top notch. She is so much more than photographer – she is a hype woman, organization queen and so much more. Both my husband and I were nervous for how our pictures would turn out because we’re awkward and do not enjoy having our pictures taken. But all of that vanished once we had our engagement session with Tessa – she actually made it fun and we were completely at ease. She makes being photographed so easy and natural. We were beyond impressed with her on our wedding day and so was everybody in our wedding party. So many people have commented on how amazing she was on our wedding day and how beautiful our pictures are. Book Tessa – I promise you won’t regret it.”
Paige & Morgan // 2019 Wedding
“If I could give Tessa all of the stars, I would. My husband and I fell in love with Tessa's style immediately, capturing so much natural light and vivid colors that showcase the pure joy in all of her couples. I knew from our Skype consultation that she was meant to be our wedding photographer. She is bubbly, creative, and so positive throughout the entire process! We felt like we had an extra friend hanging out with us on our big day! Tessa is so professional, organized, and takes special care to get all of the shots any client would want between all the posed and candid photos. I honestly don't know how she was able to capture so many angles during our wedding ceremony! Does she fly? With how much magic she brings to the table, I wouldn't put it past her.”
Jenna & Kevin // 2019 Wedding
“Tessa was the first vendor we booked, and we literally planned our wedding date around her availability. From the first meeting over Facetime, we clicked with her and were confident in our decision to work with her. We were both a little nervous about our engagement photo session as we had never had professional photos taken of just us together, but she made us feel so comfortable and definitely not awkward like we were expecting! Tessa's bubbly and outgoing personality makes it so fun and that really shows in the photos she takes! We absolutely LOVE our wedding photos and she captured some of the most special moments in our life, which we will forever be grateful for.”
Avery & Mike // 2019 Wedding
“Tessa is an amazing photographer. My husband and I originally found her on Instagram and we instantly fell in love with the bright and cheerful images she captures. Tessa was wonderful to work with from the first consult to the end of our wedding day. My husband and I don't live near Tessa so we used Facetime, calls, texts, and Facebook to keep in touch and ask for advice before our wedding. Tessa created a timeline for us right away and was truly an invaluable resource while planning our wedding! We are so in love with our photos!! They truly capture our personalities and feel just like "us" but a little more beautiful. We definitely recommend hiring Tessa as your wedding photographer, you won't regret it!”
Aly & Alex // 2019 Wedding
“I can not recommend Tessa enough!! She took our engagement photos and wedding photos and we are so happy with how they all turned out. They are better than we could’ve ever imagined! Tessa was super easy to work with and made us feel super comfortable from day 1. All of our friends and family have RAVED about how amazing all of our pictures turned out and how amazing our photographer was. I am so grateful to have these beautiful photographs from Tessa to help us remember our special day.”
Jenna & Jared // 2018 Wedding
“We heard of Tessa from 3 different couples we know who had her do their photos for their weddings, and everything we heard about her was overwhelmingly positive. Now having worked with her personally, we want to add our voices to the crowd singing her praises! Our first meeting with Tessa was so relaxed, and she made sure she knew exactly what we wanted and had answers for all of our questions. Leading up to the wedding, communication was super simple and easy, and she was very responsive. We never had to wonder where we were at or if she needed anything from us. The day of the wedding was the ultimate confirmation that we had the right photographer with us. She directed our families so well and never made anyone feel rushed or stressed. We got our photos back well within the timeframe she had told us, and we absolutely love our photos. Work with Tessa if you can! You will not regret it.”
Kailey & Paul // 2018 Wedding
“Tessa was simply the BEST decision of my wedding!! Tessa is a true joy to be around, not only is she insanely talented at capturing the raw emotions of the wedding day, but genuinely makes you laugh the ENTIRE time you are with her. She is upbeat, bubbly, and has the biggest heart! We had the pleasure of having her capture not only our wedding day but also our engagement session, which honestly turned into a super fun date night! Tessa is truly one of a kind, hands down. She is amazing at capturing all the little details of the big day. I HIGHLY recommend Tessa June Photography. Just look at her beautiful galleries, it will honestly be the best decision of your wedding day too!!”
Allie & Maclendon // 2018 Wedding
“Tessa is the BEST! We absolutely loved working with her from beginning to end. My husband and I were unable to take engagement photos due to our long distance relationship, so our wedding was the first time we both were able to work with Tessa. She made us feel so comfortable, was encouraging, and was so fun to spend the day with! She didn’t feel like another vendor, more like a friend who you enjoyed spending your day with. I had so many friends and family come up to me and comment on her professionalism, stellar personality and impressive ability to get set up for great shots! After we got our photos back we were even MORE thrilled we chose Tessa. The photos are incredible, it feels like we are reliving our day over and over when we look at them! If you’re looking for a photographer, Tessa is absolutely the one to use! She made our best day even better!”
Kristen & Luke // 2018 Wedding
“When I got engaged the only vendor I knew I wanted was Tessa. If she was already booked on my day, I was going to switch it just to have her. My husband and I are both camera shy so I was nervous on how we would get good photos of us... Tessa is so awesome at what she does. She brought out the fun in the photos and made it so comfortable. She always has really good ideas on different poses and different places to take photos. She is amazing. I've received some sneak peaks of our wedding and have been told they are some of the best wedding photos people have seen. She is truly the best and has such a big heart!”
Darcy & Marcus // 2017 Wedding
“Tessa did absolutely amazing photography work for our engagement and wedding photos! I couldn't be happier! Everyone couldn't believe how stunning all the photos looked! Tessa makes you feel so comfortable and you can't help but have a blast with her. She took care of the wedding day schedule to make sure we stayed on time and posed us and our wedding party with ease. I would recommend her again in a heartbeat! Thanks for all you do Tessa!”
Bridget & Brady // 2017 Wedding
“Tessa is the best investment I made of my entire wedding budget! Her professionalism. Her personality. Her attention to detail. Her eye. Her editing! Her check-ins months, weeks, days before the wedding and her follow through after. I am so thankful Tessa could capture our day!!”
Tia & Cameron // 2016 Wedding
“When my now husband and I started looking for a photographer, we knew it was the most important vendor to us hands down. We had followed a bunch of photographer's work prior to getting engaged and within weeks of being engaged we knew we wanted Tessa. She was a joy to work with and we absolutely love and cherish our photos. They are stunning! She highlighted all the important moments to us and captured them with gorgeous, warm light! Seriously, we love them and recommend Tessa to all of our friends!”
Laura & Tony // 2016 Wedding
“The number one, top of the list, without a doubt, ABSOLUTELY most important thing to us for our wedding day was a good photographer, but we didn't find a good photographer... We found a GREAT photographer. You guys, I'm talkin' professional, classic, timeless, and probably the most important thing, we just plain LIKED Tessa! She took beautiful pictures that we felt truly captured "us," and we also got them back in a timely manner. I recommend Tessa whole-heartedly. She is seriously the best of the best!”
Erin & Mitchell // 2015 Wedding
“Absolutely blown away by Tessa's work! She did both our engagement pictures and wedding pictures. She captured our wedding day perfectly. Every photo looks gorgeous and totally natural. Incredibly impressed with her creativity! Great price and great quality! My husband and I will forever cherish the great memories that she captured for us. Thanks Tessa June Photography! We love you :)”
