Tess Gearhart

Tess Gearhart is a film and digital documentary-style wedding photographer based in the Southwest. She specializes in blending emotional, real moments with an editorial structure, catering to those who appreciate refined messiness and life documented authentically through the intentional eyes of an artist. Tess excels in working with low ambient lighting, direct flash, and 120mm film, using these elements to create a fun, eclectic, yet refined final gallery.

One of Tess's core values when working with clients is ensuring they feel comfortable, welcome, and appreciated. She strives to know the real person behind the lens, turning the experience into more than just a photo session. Tess aims to become a friend by the end of the process, not just someone hired to take pretty pictures.
