My name is Tela Diliberto owner of Tad Photos.
I like to think I photograph love the way a filmmaker tells a story with intention, emotion, and a little bit of magic.
Based along the coast of North Carolina and traveling around the world, I’ve been documenting romance, connection and adventures since 2015. I’ve always found myself with a camera in my hands, drawn to the art of noticing.
I believe photographs should feel like memories you can step back into, layered with feeling, movement, and soul. Whether it’s a windswept elopement on a cliffside, a candlelit wedding in Europe, or an intimate portrait session at golden hour, I approach every story with a cinematic eye and a romantic heart.
I specialize in weddings, elopements, portraits, branding, and editorial imagery, capturing stories from beginning to end with an artful, documentary approach. I love meeting new people, chasing new light, and creating images that feel timeless, honest, and deeply personal.
If you’re dreaming of photographs that feel like a love letter, I’d be honored to tell your story.

Tela is amazing! From her making you feel like ya'll have been friends forever to the talent she has with her camera! I had a boudior shoot and the pictures are beautiful and way beyond my expectations, I couldn't have asked for a better photographer.

Amazing would be an understatement! Tela made me comfortable from the moment I walked in. She is beyond talented. We laughed and had a great time. She felt like a long time friend instantly. It's amazing how comfortable she makes you feel in a matter of seconds. I couldn't be happier with my photos and experience.
