“THANK YOU. Thank you for capturing the best moments of the day that meant so much to Ben and me and for portraying how much fun we had! I legitimately don’t think anyone else would have been able to capture our day in the way that you did, which really speaks to our personalities and our wedding vibe. The music was spot on and just gave me all the feels! This is truly something I will cherish every single day, that can turn any bad day into a good one, and can help me relive one of the best days ever. You were an absolute dream to work with, and I honestly wish we could do it all over again! I have watched my video nonstop since I got it, and everyone that attended our wedding loves it just as much as we do. Usually couples decide to forgo a videographer, but I am SO glad we had you! Well worth the money spent and the time to get that masterpiece back! I love my video more than my photos because it takes me right back to that day, to all the emotions, and it shows me a different perspective on the day. It was also amazing to see moments that I was not apart of, like the guys getting ready, cocktail hour, and the flower girls walking down the aisle. It is so wonderful to see what a great time all of our guests had, and how much fun we had as well! Thank you, thank you, thank you Tessa!”

“We hired Tess to do video for our wedding. As a perpetually frugally minded person, I questioned to value of spending money on a video. I was skeptical: we are going to have pictures, so why have both? Simply put, Tess' work was perfect. It's actually hard to put into words how much we cherish the video she made. We were never going to forget our wedding day, but this video makes it real again in ways memories can't. It's beautiful, unique, personal, and everything we wanted. From a professional perspective, we found Tess to be easy to work with. She listened to what we wanted, she made us comfortable in what can sometimes be uncomfortable situations, and she was super fun to have around. In deep gratitude, we give Tess Pesicka Photo & Film a full 5 stars, 100% satisfaction rating, and the strongest endorsement we can give. Thank you, Tess. We are incredibly grateful.”

“Tessa is so flippin amazing. She took our engagement photos and they are nothing short of phenomenal. It was 6 AM, 85 degrees in August, in Tucson but it was one of the most fun days and she still made me (somehow) look like a model. It felt like we were hanging out with an old friend - she makes you feel so comfortable and has such an eye for each little detail. Tessa is someone that turns from a stranger to a friend in .5 seconds. If you want timeless, gorgeous pictures and also want to make a friend in the process - hire Tessa.”

“OMG!! Tessa was an absolute dream!!!! She was so easy and fun to work with all day, and did more than we ever even asked for. She captured our day in a way that represented us and our day so perfectly. The video turned out better than we ever imagined it would. I could not recommend her enought!”
ALLIE AND JONAH WRIGHT -
“WE ARE SPEECHLESS at our wedding video. Tess made this perfect day into more than we could have ever dreamed of! Not only is her work untouchable and incomparable, but she makes the experience so much fun and memorable! She'll make you both feel comfortable, make you laugh and smile, and you won't even know that the camera is there. She also gets your video to you in a timely manner! She did everything we could've asked for and so much more! If we could redo the day, we would choose Tess over and over again!!!”

“Tess was 10/10 the best photographer I have worked with. She took our engagement photos in Rapid City, SD. She knew where to go for incredible natural backgrounds, and assisted with posing and helped us feel like we were just interacting normally. She made me feel comfortable and confident. We aren’t exactly naturals at having our photos taken. She listened to ideas we had and encouraged us to just interact normally and coached us through posing and managed to capture moments I will forever cherish. I was so bummed scheduling conflicts prevented her from filming our wedding. Tess was timely with editing and kept me informed with when I could expect the finished product. She sent sneak peeks and the outcome did not disappoint. She has an incredible ability to create a perfect image that recreates emotions. When I see our photos I can’t stop smiling even years after they were taken because I’m reminded of how in love we are and how happy that day was.”

"Tessa was so fun and easy to work with. She knew exactly what we were looking for in our engagement photos. The way she was able to capture such real and candid moments is what sets her apart. We couldn’t be happier with how our photos turned out!!"

"Wow! Where do we even begin... Our expectations were absolutely blown away by Tess and how she captured us and our wedding day perfectly. When we were first deciding if we should hire a videographer, Bryan didn't really think it was going to be worth the money but I was able to convince him and he went along with it. After we received our wedding video back from Tess the first words out of his mouth were "I was wrong, she was worth every penny and completely exceeded my expectations". We re-watched it 4 times in a row (of course bawled my eyes out), and then continued to re-watch it day after day. Words truly cannot express how happy we were with her work. It's actually hard to type this review because it's so hard to put it into words; we are still speechless. Her incredible style, artistic ability, joy and love for life was with us the entire day of our wedding. She had only met Bryan the day of our wedding and somehow still managed to capture us as a couple better than I could have ever imagined. For those of you who know Bryan and me, and watched our video, the entire video sums us up as a couple perfectly, all thanks to Tess. From Bryan cleaning the lipstick off my teeth (an every day occurrence), to our unstoppable laughter, love for each other, the occasional butt slap, tears of joy, excitement for life, pure love for dancing, and not taking life too seriously - Tess was able to capture these moments that make Bryan and me who we are as a couple, all within a 7 minute video. And for those of you who don't know us, you can seriously watch our video and feel like you know us just from watching the short film. I cannot tell you all enough that YOU NEED TO HIRE TESS, you will not be disappointed one bit. Not only will you not be disappointed, you will be making one of the best decisions to capture one of the best days of your life. And not only is she incredible at what she does, but come on people, she is seriously one of the cutest, most stylish, and easy going people we have met!!! She deserves 6/5 stars for going above and beyond and making a video that we will be able to cherish forever. Tess, we love you and thank you for all you did for us!"

"Tessa was literally a dream to work with. We were so excited to find her through Instagram and we instantly clicked when we met in person for our engagement photos. She made my fiancé and me feel so comfortable throughout our shoot and we came away from it genuinely closer because of how intimate the session felt. We truly believe Tessa has a gift to see people in such a beautiful way through her lens and we were honored to have her capture our love story through photos. Her relaxed style of directing allowed us to be ourselves in front of the camera yet still trust her expertise through posing us. We feel as though we have gained a friend in Tessa and we are 100% certain that she will capture our upcoming wedding in the most beautiful and intimate way possible. Thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts! We're obsessed with you!"

“Tessa captured our wedding day in the most beautiful way possible! The video she created for us is the best keepsake of our wedding that we could ever ask for and brings back all the emotions of the day when we watch it - the tears, the laughter, and the happiness! She and Paige, her second shooter, stayed all night long and even gave us a few stills as well. She was so accommodating to our last minute schedule changes the day of and spent time understanding my vision beforehand. There wasn’t anything about the video I would change, and I can’t thank her enough for giving my husband and me a way to relive our best day ever. Highly, highly recommend hiring her!”

“Tessa and Paige were so unbelievably easy to work with! They brought our vision to life and exceeded all expectations! The video they put together of our day made all the memories flood back, I am so happy we can relive our day every time I watch it. They captured all the emotion and joy of the entire wedding day and pieced it together perfectly. These two are amazing at what they do and were amazing to work with from the day I booked through the day our video was complete!”

“Tessa went above and beyond our expectations. From the time she took our engagement photos, booked our wedding video, to receiving our video - she made everything easy. On our wedding day Tessa and Paige felt like part of the wedding party. They were fun, helped us through the shaky moments and were beyond professional in their work. They had us laughing and had such a positive, happy vibe that they brought with them. When we received our video we were beyond happy and amazed with the editing by Tessa. Words cannot describe the feeling we felt reliving our wedding day through our video. I would highly recommend Tess Pesicka Photo & Film to anyone who is looking for a professional, fun, and amazing staff and a memory to last forever.”

“I knew as soon as we got engaged that I wanted a videographer for our wedding day, especially because it seriously goes by so fast after you put so much time and effort in to the day (people are really not lying about this you guys!). Her videos drew us to her instantly, and her fun personality and professionalism made her the perfect choice for us! We were beyond in love with working with Tess and the video we received is something we will cherish and be able to relive our wedding day for years to come! She captured all of the emotions of the day and was so easy and wonderful to work with!! So many people have commented on our video/cried over our video/wished they would have used her/asked for her information! She seriously rocks you guys! I would work with her again in a heart beat!”

“We knew as soon as we were engaged we wanted Tessa to photograph our wedding and engagement photos. We are not ones who like being the center of attention, but Tessa made it so easy to get in front of the camera, even if there were a few times we felt real goofy (but turned out great). Our wedding flowed without a hitch, a lot of that is thanks to Tessa being on time and organized. I had a list of shots we wanted to get, we got all that plus amazing candids. We could not be more happy with all the memories that were captured on our wedding day. Thank you so much!!”

“Tessa is the absolute best, in all ways, and I mean that from the very bottom of my heart! I recommend her to everyone even though she lives states away lol. She was such a joy to work with and just to have as a presence on our favorite day! Her and Paige were so fun and Mitch and I still crack up thinking about their dynamic. They’re both just genuine sweethearts and that helped put me at ease through the whole process leading up to the big day. I’m so happy I decided to do a video with Tess and the stills we got are some of my absolute favorite pictures also. I love the style, filters, and music she uses. She really captured our emotions and all the little details throughout the evening and is something we will love looking back on throughout our whole lives. Book with her! So worth it.”
- ALEXA AND MICHAEL LIEDTKE
“Tessa was nothing but pleasant and easy and fun to work with! She took our engagement photos and made the whole process so stress free and fun and let us basically be US the whole time and documented us being complete weirdos the whole time and it was great!!”
KALLI AND CONOR CASEY -
“It's been about a year since we took our engagement photos with Tessa, and I am still absolutely in love with them! I cannot imagine someone capturing our personalities better than Tessa did with these photos. We woke up at the crack of dawn for a sunrise shoot in the Badlands, and it was so much fun. Tessa made us feel like we could be ourselves, like it was just us two! She had great music and facilitated fun poses and a lighthearted environment. Looking back, it was one of my very favorite experiences as an engaged couple, and the photos reflect that. The colors are absolutely insane and they capture my favorite aesthetic perfectly. I cannot recommend her enough!!!”
- meghan gonzales of petrichor planning
“Tess is an absolute rockstar. She takes professionalism to the next level. Not only does she ensure that the entire day runs smoothly but she keeps the bride and bridal party at ease by letting the day flow at a natural cadence and capturing moments as they unfold. As a wedding planner, it was a joy to work with her because she helped me to keep the day on track but never once made our couple feel rushed or worried. Also, have you seen her work? I mean, it speaks for itself, really. I would and will recommend Tess and her team to every couple in need of an incredibly talented videographer!”
