Columbus Ohio Wedding Photographer

Starling Studio offers award-winning wedding photography to Columbus, Ohio, and its surrounding areas. 

Your love story is filled with intimate moments. A private first look. A handwritten vow. A golden hour kiss. Preserving them through beautiful, timeless photographs is my life’s work.

I’m Tessa, the photographer behind Starling Studio, and I’m here to document your love with joyful and candid images. My background as a photojournalist and my eye for the subtle-yet-memorable details means you won’t just see your love story unfold in your photos—you’ll feel it, too. 

It’s no wonder you hear brides and grooms refer to their wedding day as a blur. Months of planning lead to something that often moves at an unbelievably quick speed. When it’s all said and done, your photos can bring even the smallest of moments back to life—whether it’s been 5 years or 50.

I take care to capture both magazine-worthy portraits and candid photographs, so you can be transported to the day you confidently said, “I do.”

 

More than a wedding photographer

|

 

It’s true—you’re selecting more than a wedding photographer. You’re choosing a wedding party wrangler. A first look coordinator. Someone to make grandpa laugh, entertain the ring bearer and keep things running on time. 

With an easygoing and fun-filled style, I’ll be there for you. (Friends is my favorite show. Let’s talk about it over coffee.) Yes, I find joy behind the lens, but I’m also here to help you experience your big day to the fullest. 

 
 
 

Joyful. Authentic. Timeless.
