Tessa N. Brediger Photography 

5.0

Dayton, OH
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,300

I’m Tessa Brediger! I’m twenty-nine, living in Dayton, Ohio at the moment (but always moving thanks to the Air Force), married to my best friend Jake, a mom to the sweetest little boy named Will, and I’m a lover of: a good and smoky single malt Highland scotch, beautiful light, inclusivity, and punk rock (I never moved past my emo phase in high school). I’ve never met a dog I didn’t like. I don’t believe there’s a limit to the amount of pasta you can consume. I quote New Girl and The Good Place way too much. I have a lot of houseplants and always get sucked into buying more because I have no impulse control. I absolutely love, love.

Tessa blew our expectations out of the water! She was an absolute gem on our wedding day! You can tell that photography for Tessa is so much more than a job. She is truly invested in each couple and wants your wedding to day to be everything you wished and more! Tessa was a great planner/communicator before the wedding day. She had a great questionairre that helped us plan the photos we wanted on the day. She was extremely fast to edit our photos! I think we received them one week after our wedding! She also created a montage video of all of our pictures which was the perfect way to show all of our friends and families our wedding photos! I was so impressed with her work. Especially our reception pictures were the best I've probably ever seen (reception photos I feel like are the most difficult to capture but she nailed it!) Our portraits were stunning! The small moments that meant the world to us, she captured. I love Tessa's style and creativity. She is incredibly talented and was amazing to work with! Highly recommended!

Being the daughter of first-generation immigrants, I saw how precious photos become in life. Some photos are the only tangible connection we have to a person or place that is dearly missed. Thanks to my dad, I was introduced to the world of photography the same day I was introduced to the world. Because of my parents, our memories growing up are preserved. When I was 6, I received my own camera, marking the beginning of a lifelong dedication to documenting every aspect of my life.

Awarded Best of Zola
I had a small wedding at home and she was there early in the morning and took photos of the entire day. She was taking photos to make my day memorable and focused on the details that I am so grateful she was able to capture. She photographed my family members too and made me feel beautiful on my day. I sometimes get awkward in front of cameras but she made me feel comfortable and I would for sure book her again when given the chance. I highly recommend. She’s very understanding of different cultures and made sure to capture those moments that made my day special. She edits beautifully and she also sent a flash drive in a beautifully presented box. I loved it. Her attention to detail is impeccable and you can tell she loves what she does. So grateful that my sister discovered her. Nicole was absolutely amazing.

VanDee Photo is ran by, me! Alyssa VanDusen. I have been photographing most of my life but VanDee Photo was born in 2021 I am located in NW OH and primarily serves this area- but have never turned down the chance to travel. I specialize in a very hands off documentary approach which is the BEST for anyone who feels like maybe staring into the lens is a bit awkward (Guilty!) This specialty gives me the freedom to document life as it is. That's why photography became a thing after all ( ; Since I have to get to know you guys to plan a shoot that feels natural to you, all sessions require some form of consult.

VanDee Photos was the perfect choice for our wedding photographer. Having worked with VanDee before, I knew her thorough, kind, and appreciative communication style would make wedding planning a breeze. She kept us informed about every step of the process. On our big day, VanDee captured the excitement and energy perfectly. Her fun, enticing shots highlight special moments from the ceremony and reception that we'll treasure forever. VanDee is talented at photography in any setting - from posed family portraits to candid dance floor antics. Her skill shone through in the final album, where she preserved the raw emotion and joy we felt. I'd enthusiastically recommend VanDee to any couple looking to relive their magical moments through vibrant, energetic wedding photography.

I was the student who had no idea what she wanted to do after High School. As my peers were applying to college with a clear career path in mind, I struggled to choose just one route. I could see myself in so many roles, and yet none of them fit JUST right. In 2011, my son was born and a new path appeared on my map: Motherhood. This role took over and nothing else mattered. The year progressed and my son grew, and grew and grew some more. I bought my first DSLR to document that rapidly growing boy of mine. It wasn't long before those peers from high school came to me to document their lives as well, and my career path was finally chosen.

Jenna and Brett were absolutely amazing. We hired them for our wedding and engagement photos, and not only were they able to capture the exact moments we wanted plus some, but they also made us feel comfortable and less nervous. They were both timely, personable and so creative, and we’re so thankful to have had them on our team for our wedding day. We got our photos back very quickly, and there was a TON of them. Every photo turned out incredible and we will cherish them for the rest of our lives.
