    Elmwood and Tessa did our wedding photography in South Lake Tahoe and was great to work with. She did a wonderful job in capturing so many of our special moments and also being efficient with our time in between the ceremony and reception. She was so kind to hang a little longer than we booked her for as she was getting so many fun shots. Thank you for helping make our day so special, Tessa! Would highly recommend to anyone!

  • Professional, easy to work with and funny!

    We used Tessa from Elmwood Images for our engagement pictures and she was amazing. We are super awkward as soon as a camera comes out and on top of that we wanted our pictures done off a remote back road in our area. Tessa was ready roll as soon as we told her about it and let us drive her out into the forest to get the shots. She spent the time to get to know us and makes us feel comfortable ahead of time. She was super sneaky about making us laugh while posing and snapped the perfect pictures when we weren’t paying attention. We have some gorgeous, natural lit, sunset engagement photos for our invitations. I loved the experience. She got us the proofs within a week! I also have a small business that puts on a Halloween event every year and Tessa volunteered to take event photos for our guests and bring her own handmade backdrop. Those also turned out amazing and she sent us the link within 2 days! I am one hundred percent only booking with Elmwood Images from now on.

    Tessa at Elmwood images was amazing to work with. She had so many cute ideas if you are like me and have no idea what you want out of your photos there is no need to worry. She was very professional I highly recommend her.
