The Minnesota Sweet Meets The Arizona Heat.
ARIZONA & CENTRAL MINNESOTA PHOTOGRAPHER
To joyfully document the just-us moments to the party of three (or more) milestones of couples’ legacies, preserved with natural light by a forever photographer who feels like family.
But you can call me Tessa.
After over a decade of photographing 250+ couples and countless families, my mission is simple:
— Kaitlyn
“We had so much fun with her, we felt so comfortable, and she captured the most gorgeous, genuine photos. She knew exactly what she was doing, was organized, and kept everything on track.”
— Shannon
“Tessa made the wedding process so easy and stress-free with her bubbly and kind personality and incredibly strong work ethic. We recommend her to friends, time and time again!”
— Ashlee
“Not only is her work top tier, but she also became a friend to us along the way and has played an important role in perfectly capturing so many special life moments for us!”
— Kaitlyn
“She shot our engagement and wedding photos and later went on to shoot my brother’s wedding. She is practically part of our family now! Booking her was the best decision we made.”
ACCORDING TO THE TJP FAM:
What happened next? You guessed it—another camera upgrade! With a fancy camera in hand, Tessa June Photography took off. If I wasn’t attending class or doing homework, I was scheduling, photographing new friends, editing, and promoting my business by hanging posters all around town. I even managed to land my first wedding photography gig as a freshman!
Over a decade—and many camera upgrades—later, I still love my job. Bringing others joy through photography experiences that encourage authentic smiles, belly laughs, and happy tears is simply amazing!
When I say digital camera, I mean the kind with a screen the size of a quarter! Despite the novice gear, I took that gifted camera everywhere. Little did preteen I know that capturing free-spirited photos of my friends posing against trees and jumping on trampolines would guide my professional photography approach.
While in college, I continued my hobby by photographing my roommates around campus—with a much newer digital camera, in case you were curious. During my freshman year, my parents’ friends visited and invited me to photograph their family. What started as a fun pastime quickly became a no-brainer dream when they surprised me with $50 to invest in my new business.
It all started with middle school, neighborhood friends, and a digital camera.

Beyond The Lens
I’m here for the long haul. From newly engaged to empty nesters, I want to document every season of your life together.
And if you don’t have a photo-worthy milestone to commemorate, we’re otherwise guaranteed to meet again. I often photograph clients’ friends, siblings, coworkers, and neighbors who celebrate together—you can most definitely expect a group photo in that case!
You should know that ending up in front of my camera is never a one-time occasion.
