LOVE, Tressa
I'm so excited that you are here, getting to know you is my favorite part! I believe in real moments and chasing sunsets. In the kinds of images that remind you of the joy that can be found in the simplest of moments together. I believe images are meant to be printed, placed in beautiful frames and hung on walls for years to come.
I began capturing images on film at the age of 16 while on the yearbook committee in high school. Going out on an assignment, looking for that one moment that captured the feeling of the event. Today, I'm still doing the same thing. Whenever I pick up my camera, I strive to create beautiful and emotional images that tell a story and showcase the beauty of both the people in the images and the world around them.
GET TO KNOW THE PHOTOGRAPHER
Tressa was amazing from beginning to end. The second I saw Tressa's photos I knew I needed to work with her. Her photos were so clean, natural, and beautiful. It was truly so much fun to work with her. Tressa helped us feel comfortable and we LOVED our photos! She was there when we needed a staged photo and in the background taking the perfect candid photos the whole time. She captured everyone so naturally and beautifully. My most important decision, aside from the man and the dress, was the photographer and I could not have picked someone more perfect.
"Tressa was amazing from beginning to end"
kind words
I can’t say enough positive things about Tressa. She’s extremely professional however has such a fun spirited style and vibe. She captured not just pictures but memories of our engagement and wedding. I’m so incredibly grateful our paths crossed!!
"SPIRITED STYLE AND VIBE"

The pictures are gorgeous and I'm just so happy with them. Everyone is gushing and honestly, seeing the rest I don't even think my heart can handle it!

After photographing more than 200 hundred weddings over the past
ten years, I’ve found that I'm not the perfect fit for every couple.
That’s why this process begins with a conversation. I want to hear
everything—how you met, funny first date stories, and the proposal story.
We’ll get to know one another, talk about the details of your
day, answer any questions you might have about working with me and
figure out if we’re the best fit for each other.
I'm here as a resource beyond photography—whether you're looking for engagement session outfit recommendations, timeline advice, or vendor referrals.
Even if you're working with a wedding planner or you're planning a simple wedding, there are likely still a lot of moving pieces left leading up to your big day. I've photographed more than 200 weddings in the past ten years and I'm happy to share everything I've learned along the way!
I'm a big fan of engagement sessions for a few reasons. Not only do they allow you to get comfortable in front of the camera, they also give you the opportunity to showcase your personalities in a more casual setting that is significant to the two of you.
Engagement sessions can take place anywhere from immediately following a proposal to just a few days before the wedding. I’ve found that there isn’t a “good” or “bad” time to take your photos. I normally plan sessions based on a particular “look” a couple has in mind, spring flowers for example, or based on schedules.
I'll check-in about two months before the wedding to start chatting about timeline specifics, special details, family formal shot lists, special traditions and anything else I should know about your big day.
While I normally don't send this questionnaire until closer to the wedding, please don't hesitate to let me know if you have questions during the planning process!
It's finally here! The day the two of you say "I Do" and dance the night away surrounded by your family and friends. We've covered all our bases and the only thing left for you to do is enjoy every moment. It's going to go fast, but don't worry - I'll be there capturing it so you can look back and remember.
I'm over the moon to celebrate and capture your wedding day. It's going to be awesome!
You can expect your photos to be delivered via an online gallery within about eight weeks of your wedding. At that time, I'll also send over details about preserving your images through prints and albums.
I hope the relationship doesn't end after I deliver your photographs. I want to hear about the adventures of married life. And if you decide to have kids, I'd love to document your growing family.

One of the best ways to make your wedding memories last is by ordering
an album. These high quality professionally designed albums come in a
variety of linen & leather colors.
These aren’t the same albums your parents wedding photos came in.
They’re modern, lay perfectly flat and look incredible on coffee tables.
All albums must be prepaid before design begins. Albums typically take
between 4 to 6 weeks to complete and include three rounds of revision. Albums may be ordered anytime before or after the wedding day.
It takes time for most couples to warm up to being
photographed and get used to being in front of a camera. Timelines can be
pretty tight on weddings days and 30 minutes may be all we
have for portraits - which is why I’ve found that wedding day
portraits turn out so much better when couples do engagement
sessions ahead of time.
Sessions also allow you to showcase your personalities in a more casual
setting that is significant to the two of you (and even include
pets!) While they’re great for save-the-dates, I’ve taken
engagement photos anywhere from 18 months in advance to a
few days before the wedding.

Fantastic! To reserve your wedding date, I’ll need a completed contract and a 1/3 of your total as a non-refundable retainer. If you don’t have a contract yet, just let me know and I’ll send one over! The remaining balance will be due 1 month before the wedding.
Galleries typically include anywhere between 600 and 800 photos. The exact amount varies from wedding to wedding. Your online gallery will come loaded with edited high resolution images you can print anywhere. You’re also welcome to share your wedding photos with friends and family and on social media as long as you credit me and link to my website.
I typically add travel fees on to any wedding outside of a 120 mile radius from my home near Canandaigua, NY. Fees vary depending on location so ask me for more details.
