Our Cardiff Innsider: Tessa Holly

Tessa is a Welsh photographer and blogger, best known online over at Tessa Holly, where she creates and curates fashion and lifestyle content. Having grown up in the Welsh countryside, she has a deep fondness for her home country. Tessa can often be found roaming the city of Cardiff looking for cool new things to do and see, or out exploring the nearby Brecon Beacons.

Cardiff is said to be one of the fastest growing cities in Europe - it’s ever changing - and Tessa has loved watching it adapt over the years. A city full of history and culture, there’s always something fun happening and plenty to experience in the Welsh capital.
