Starling Studio Named Best of Columbus Weddings for the 4th Year in a Row
BEST OF COLUMBUS WEDDINGS 2021, 2022, 2023, & 2024
This year Starling Studio was selected for the 4th year in a row, the Best of Columbus Weddings: Photography category. This is something that I would have never dreamed of but am eternally grateful for. Over the past 4 years alone, the number of couples in the Columbus, Ohio area have been not only some of my favorite, but are now dear friends.
The development of these friendships is what makes this award one that doesn't feel completely mine, it's theirs too.
For 2024, Columbus Weddings decided to put us in the driver seat and share some of my favorite wedding images. This was hands down one of the hardest tasks in the world not because I didn't know my favorites, but because I kept getting wrapped up in all the beautiful memories and details as I scrolled through dozens of galleries.
While the magazine only needed a handful, I collected over 300 images... yes, 300.
Because of this, I decided the best way to celebrate and showcase the award was to make a blog featuring the images that you didn't see in the magazine, along with some Columbus engagement sessions that I absolutely adored.
What an honor to be a part of this unreal industry. Lastly, I don't want to forget to mention some of my dearest that also won in their categories! Including Aisle & Co., Prema Designs, La Jeune Mariee, Josh Staley Productions, Lavender and Honey (my mama!), and more.
Many of the images below were made possible because of their hard work and creativity.
So a big congratulations to them and the many other winners and nominees. Let's continue to make Columbus, Ohio the most magical place to say, "I do".
“A Master of Capturing Love's Most Beautiful Moments”
“I recently had the privilege of working with Tessa at Starling Studio as the photographer for my wedding, and I cannot express how thrilled my husband and I are with the results. Her professionalism, creativity, and passion for her craft shone through every step of the process, and the final product exceeded all of our expectations. Tessa's warm and friendly personality instantly put us at ease. She took the time to get to know us as a couple, understand our vision, and truly connect with us on a personal level. This personal touch made our wedding day feel even more special, and it is reflected in the photographs she captured. What sets Tessa apart is her ability to tell a story through her photographs. Looking through our wedding album feels like reliving the day all over again. Her shots are not just snapshots; they are narratives that convey the emotion, love, and joy of our wedding day. Tessa's talent for storytelling through her lens is truly remarkable. Thank you, Tessa, for turning our wedding day into a visual masterpiece. You are truly a gem in the world of wedding photography, and we feel privileged to have had you as our photographer.”

“could not recommend Tessa enough for any event- wedding, engagement, family photos, etc…”
“Tessa is the most kind-hearted individual. She is always so cheerful and knows how to make each person feel at ease. Our friends and family raved to us about how wonderful she was and how her energy made the day even more fun. Tessa was involved in our planning process from the moment we started working together. She helped us a great deal with our timeline and made us feel prepared that we thought possible for the day of the wedding. Her professionalism is off the charts, and she continually impressed us with her talent and creativity. Each time we received photos from Tessa, I was blown away by her ability not just to photograph a beautiful day, but to encapsulate the true emotion, love, and joy of each moment. She gave us the greatest gift for our wedding, a tangible memory of the day in those moments she captured. We are able to look back on the day and relive each moment together as if it were happening all over again. We could not recommend Tessa enough for any event- wedding, engagement, family photos, etc. She is extremely talented and a phenomenal person to work with!”

“There is no more right decision than choosing Tessa/Starling Studios for your wedding…”
“She is an absolute gem of a human. She was easy to work with, kind, warm, insightful, and does amazing work. I honestly cannot imaging a better photography experience than what we had with her. We knew from day one that she was the right fit for us and we were blown away with her work at the end. Working with Tessa was like having your best friend take you photos and hang out with you - if your best friend could make it look like something out of magazine. I cannot more highly recommend someone!”
