The first thing you should know about me is that I'm a dog lover to my core, and if your furry friend is somehow involved in your session or wedding, I'll love you forever. My dog's name is Luma and she's the cutest little Aussiedoodle with the most ridiculous big dog energy. I love her with everything in me and am currently working on convincing my husband that we need a second dog (;
Hi, I'm Tori!
Wedding photographer, wife, & dog lover (it's more like an obsession)
About
I'm passionate about preserving the moments that matter most.
In 30 years, the photos that you'll turn back to won't be the perfectly posed golden hour portraits, it will be the moments you wish you could experience for just five more minutes. You'll want to remember the feeling of walking down the aisle, hugging after your first look, or slow dancing with your Dad. Your photos are what will take you back there, and give you the five more minutes you didn't know you needed.
I got my first camera when I was 14, as a Christmas gift from my Mom. I always begged her to borrow her old Canon camera to take pictures at soccer games, on family trips, etc. so she decided to get me my very own Canon Rebel. Very quickly I became the designated friend photographer. I loved making my friends feel pretty in pictures, and all throughout high school and into college continued to take portraits of my girl friends. In college I realized that taking couple photos for my friends resulted in their similar feelings of confidence and happiness, but the hopeless romantic in me loved it so much more than portraits.
I've always loved making people feel beautiful and seen. As a woman, I feel the societal pressures to look or be a certain way. What's important to me is that you feel beautiful as YOU, in a way that's authentic and true to YOUR story. My goal is not to make you look perfect or to look like someone else. I want you to see yourself and your love the way others see it, the way I see it.
It all started ten years ago when I got my first camera ...
After my husband and I got married, which was almost three years ago now, I realized how important wedding photos truly are. The photos that meant the most to me weren't the perfectly posed portraits, they were the genuine moments that I otherwise would've forgotten. It's now the photo of my husband's grandparents dancing that makes me emotional, not the perfect ring shot.
As a photographer I have the sacred ability to help you feel seen, and to tell your story authentically. I truly am so honored to have a career that allows me to "forever-ize" your story, your precious moments. I will never not be grateful that my couples trust me, year after year, to capture the most important days of their lives. I hope I'll get to document yours.
It's about so much more than just pretty pictures.
