You’ve watched enough YouTube to sort of know what to do. BUT YOU STILL WONDER:

→ “What do I actually need to capture?”

→ “Will this edit come together later?”

→ “Why does this feel so overwhelming?”

This masterclass will shortcut YEARS OF TRIAL AND ERROR that I learned on my own.

→ Shoot to Story gives you a clear, repeatable framework to film weddings with purpose — and edit them with ease.

→ No more filming everything just in case. No more getting stuck halfway through an edit. No more second-guessing your creative instincts.

→ Just confident shooting, compelling edits, and emotional storytelling that couples rave about to all their friends and family.

MEET YOUR Storyteller

Hi, I’m Tess! IT’S NICE TO MEET YOU!

I’ve been filming for over 10 years, and I used to shoot everything and hope I could “find the story” in post. I’d spend hours editing, second-guessing every cut, and wondering why my films felt like a series of clips—not a cohesive, beautiful story.

But then I found a repeatable framework that changed everything. It helped me film with clarity, edit with purpose, and deliver work that actually connects. That’s why I created Shoot to Story - it’s what I wish I had when I was starting out!

My couples are constantly raving about their films and sending me referrals — and yours can be, too!

  • "You will never run out of amazingly positive reviews and recommendations from me!"

    - Shara

  • "The video she created of our day is more than I could have imagined!"

    - Stacey

  • "It's so beautiful I cry every time I see it."

    - Abigail

  • "The video captured the day so perfectly, and it has been such a treasure to show loved ones who were unable to make it to the wedding."

    - Madalyn
