ABout Tori
Hello there, I’m Tori- wedding photographer based in beautiful Knoxville, Tennessee. I hold a deep love for honest storytelling, film-inspired imagery, and the quiet, fleeting moments that shape a wedding day. After six years and hundreds of weddings, I'm always honored each time I’m invited into a couple’s story. My goal is simple: to create modern heirlooms that feel effortless and enduring- the kind of images that become part of your family’s legacy.
My earliest inspiration came from picking up a film camera in high school and getting lost in the documentary images of vintage National Geographics. That curiosity led me across the world, and those experiences shaped how I see light, landscape, and human connection. Today, that same sense of exploration and intention guides the way I photograph weddings: with presence, care, and an eye for subtle detail.
Alongside my husband, Matt (my day-of shooting partner and steady presence behind the scenes) we’ve built a process that is calm, intuitive and personally tailored to the couples we serve. His presence strengthens the experience we offer, while my artistic vision leads the work we create together.
The Heart behind the work
Weddings are one of the rare moments in life where emotion lives on the surface: unguarded, real. I’m drawn to the quiet in-betweens: the breath before you walk down the aisle, the stillness before your first look, the subtle gestures that often go unseen. These moments pass quickly, but they hold a weight that lasts. I photograph weddings to honor them, and to give you something that feels straight out of a memory.
At its core, my work is most inspired by my couples themselves, and their unique stories. Understanding and anticipating the moments that make each wedding unique is something I value deeply. I aim to blend gentle direction with quiet documentary intuition, creating images that feel honest, yet refined. I believe your wedding photos should be a true and honest reflection of your day, allowing you to simply focus on living it. At the heart of what I do is a single purpose: to honor your story with depth and care, preserving the fleeting moments that become lifelong memory.
A note from Tori
• I’m endlessly inspired by garden weddings, soft color palettes, sentimental details, and the natural beauty of East Tennessee.
• Film photography has shaped the way I see the world: slower, more intentional, more connected to feeling than perfection.
• My favorite moments to document are the ones that aren’t on a shot list. A glance, a laugh, a touch. These are the emotional threads of your day.
• Matt’s perspective often helps me see a moment differently. His intuitive understanding of people and relationship building is a foundation in our creative world.
