About Tess and Julia Weddings

Tess and Julia Weddings

Our names are Tess Mayer & Julia Wang and we are photography duo based in NYC. We met our freshman year at NYU Tisch and since then have run a magazine together, worked as teaching assistants at ICP & NYU, and shot our first wedding our senior year. Our style is a blend of candid documentary and stylized portraiture - we approach your day not as strangers following you around, but as excited guests (who happen to be carrying around cameras and massive lenses) who will most likely cry during your vows. We love small, intimate and relaxed weddings.

Tess, the head photographer, is a full time freelance photographer. She shoots regularly for The New York Times, The Cut, and works for The New York Knicks and the Knicks City Dancers, and used to work at SNL and Interview Magazine. She loves film photography and color darkroom printing. She has three cats–Jared, Jimmy, and Tilly, and a dog, Frances. When she's not photographing or emailing, she's at her ceramics studio. Julia, the secondary photographer, is now a full time lawyer! She still loves photography and finds time to be a second photographer on many weekend weddings. She's also a ceramics enthusiast, and loves her cat, Spicy.

    We hired Tess to photograph our wedding and the experience was wonderful! When choosing a wedding photographer, you’re choosing someone to spend the day with you at some of the most emotional moments of your wedding day. Tess was an amazing choice for that role. She was kind, easy-going, and became a great friend throughout the day. We met over FaceTime well before the wedding to communicate our photo goals. She asked us to curate a Pinterest board for her and to set some “must have” photos. In addition to standard photos, we also got film photos. Her style throughout the day was to be a “fly-on-the-wall” but to also intermittently direct us to make sure we got the photos we had asked her for. My husband, who’s not much of a “photos guy”, was so impressed when we received the results. We loved working with her!

    Tess was amazing the day of our small courthouse wedding. She was communicative ahead of the event, had great ideas for locations and poses, was easy-going and kind, and got our pictures back to us within a great time frame. I'd recommend her to anyone!

  • A joy to work with - highly recommend!

    Tess was incredible to work with! She was communicative from the start, she captured all the moments that we asked and many more, and she worked well with our day-of coordinator. She was friendly and joyful, bringing a great spirit to the day! She gave us direction when we asked for it and captured organic moments. Every time we wanted a picture during the reception she was right there to take one. We definitely recommend Tess & Julia Weddings for your wedding photography!
