It turns out, they found me through two other familiar faces: Jackie and Alex! (Remember their gorgeous Lounsbury House wedding […]

Today is a dream come true for me. It’s the day of the Tesora Photography website relaunch, and I could not be prouder or happier to share this with you.  For the last year or so, my online presence started to weigh on me. Meaning, my old site started to feel like it didn’t accurately portray where […]

It was the moment they had waited for. Chrissy stepped out from behind the white curtains arm-in-arm with her father and started the walk down the aisle to her soulmate. When their eyes met, everything else melted away. It still surprises me when I’m hit with raw emotion during a wedding day; maybe because I […]

My favorite thing about being a photographer is meeting wonderful people and then being able to turn around and give them something to cherish for years to come. I can honestly say that I am a better person for knowing them, for learning their stories, and for being present for their greatest of days. Before […]

Today’s blog post is a special one; I get to share Josephine and Matt’s engagement portraits from Lyndhurst Mansion on the Hudson River! Josephine is my cousin (one of MANY in our big Italian family) and from the moment she was born, we had a special connection. She is my gluten-free companion (not so easy […]

Theresa and Rob’s story is one of deep-rooted destiny; one that makes you say, “of COURSE.” The two met during their young years in high school, and hit it off immediately. Maybe it was their mutual respect for the premise of family, or maybe it was that not only do they compliment each other’s personalities, […]
