“The quality of TVE’s work speaks for itself through their portfolio, and we could not have asked for a more talented and dedicated photographer and hype woman for our engagement shoot and wedding day!”
S.E. Glass
“TVE photographed our elopement at the SB Courthouse, and she knew every little spot to capture the perfect image and then followed us to the beach. She allowed us to enjoy our day and incorporated all of the things we wanted without being overly picky or posed. She created beautiful natural moments that I will cherish forever. She is truly the best!!.”
Janie Helfinstine
“TVE and the entire team are so thoughtful, professional, talented and fun to work with. From our first contact until I was viewing my gallery I knew I could count on them to answer any questions I had and be a support for me on such a special occasion. They truly care about those they work with… I cannot recommend enough!”
