Hey, I'm Tessa

In case you don’t know me… Hi! Welcome. I’m Tessa and I am an elopement + intimate wedding photographer. I've been based out of Asheville, NC for about 8 years now. I have grown to love these Blue Ridge Mountains and have been raising my kids on every peak we can find.


I love adventure and traveling around the world. I know. What a cliche thing to say. But really… I love adventures. I love finding a new town, a new mountain range and exploring with my husband.


My life goal is to own a large farm and build Airbnbs-- A Frames, domes, tree houses. Anything fun for families to get away and spend some time unplugged with their kiddos. We love heading out with our kids and spending time hiking, playing UNO, and killing some S'mores!

What Clients Say

Sarah + Mike


Tessa did an absolutely phenomenal job photographing our wedding. We are a bit of a funky group of people with some off kilter humor and she fit right in, such a wonderful personality. She was always willing to step in and help, even in areas outside of her scope. You can tell she truly wanted us to have the perfect day. The photos she captured were priceless and looked right out of a magazine. I'm so lucky to have chosen Folk + Wayfarer to photograph our wedding!
