about Tess
Filmmaker & Storyteller
Hi, I’m Tess, the filmmaker behind Heart & Light.
I’ve always been drawn to the power of storytelling: the way a single glance, a soft laugh, or the touch of a hand can hold an entire story. With a background in film and music production, I approach each wedding with the care and artistry it deserves, weaving together films that reflect not just what your day looked like, but how it felt.
When I’m not behind the camera, you can find me chasing after my three boys, exploring Omaha's best coffee shops, or tending to my backyard cottage garden. I believe that life’s most beautiful moments happen in the in-between, and I’m honored to capture them for couples who share that same appreciation.
how it started
“I feel that there is nothing more truly artistic than to love people.”
- Vincent Van Gogh
Heart and Light was born out of intention: to uncover the heart of every couple’s story and capture it in its very best light. We believe that every wedding deserves to be told with authenticity, beauty, and care.
Heart reflects the soul of your story—the moments that matter, the emotions that define your day, and the connections that shape your lives. Light represents not just the artistry of our craft but our dedication to showcasing your story in a way that feels timeless and true.
At Heart and Light, we aim to preserve your legacy through films that honor your love and illuminate its beauty.
