About Tess Branker Photography

Tess Branker Photography

Wedding & Lifestyle Photographer

I’m Tess, a Los Angeles–based wedding and lifestyle photographer with over six years of experience. My work blends a classic, editorial aesthetic with a natural approach — creating imagery that feels refined, timeless, and emotionally grounded. I offer thoughtful direction when it’s helpful and space when it’s not, adapting to each couple so the day unfolds with ease and intention.

My approach is calm, flexible, and people-centered. I provide gentle guidance so couples feel confident and supported, while allowing room for genuine moments to unfold naturally. Whether your celebration is intimate, non-traditional, or a more classic wedding day, I tailor my approach to fit you — not the other way around. The result is imagery that feels effortless, elevated, and true to who you are.

    We worked with Tess as our wedding photographer and absolutely loved our wedding photos. She uses a natural, timeless editing style that truly reflect how the day felt. We’ve received so many compliments from family and friends on how stunning and genuine the photos are. Tess was extremely responsive, clear, and kind throughout the planning process and afterward, and she delivered our large gallery very quickly. Looking through them instantly brings us back to that special day, and we would recommend her to any couple!

  • Tess did an amazing job photographing our wedding!

    Tess Branker Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. Her communication style was responsive, empathetic, and solutions-oriented - she were incredibly flexible when we had to push our wedding back a few weeks due to COVID-19. In an intimate setting with just 25 guests, Tess brought such a positive energy and captured every moment beautifully. The quality of her work is truly professional and creative, with prompt delivery of the photos. We felt so lucky to have Tess documenting our special day, and I would recommend her services without reservation.

    Tess shot our engagement photos and our September 2024 wedding. Could not recommend her enough! She made us feel comfortable throughout the entire process and made the day, fun and stressless. She took the time to understand our vision and the look we were going for. We received our photos within a couple of weeks and were obsessed with them! We just put together a photo album and was reminded about how high-quality and amazing the photos are. Can’t wait for more life milestones so we can get together with Tess again and shoot some more photos!

  • Amazing photographer

    Tess Branker Photography was an absolute delight to work with for our wedding. Her communication was always clear, consistent, and incredibly organized throughout the entire process. Tess is truly talented, delivering beautiful photos in a timely manner. She fit in seamlessly with our wedding party, feeling like a friend rather than just a vendor, which led to photos where everyone felt completely at ease. Truly a joy to work with, our photos are perfect, and we've already referred several friends to Tess Branker Photography. Don't hesitate to book her for your special day!
