The Approach

My work is a celebration of timeless elegance, inspired by the beauty of film and the enduring grace of natural tones. Each image is thoughtfully crafted to feel both classic and organic, a reflection of love and moments that never go out of style. As a hybrid photographer, I embrace the artistry of shooting both film and digital mediums, ensuring your memories are preserved in a way that feels enduring and classic. Trends come and go, but I strive to create photographs that will remain as captivating decades from now as they are today.

enduring style

Every love story is unique, and my approach is inspired by the individuality of my couples. No two galleries are the same because no two couples are the same. Together, we create something truly one-of-a-kind: a blend of your connection and my vision. Your story guides my poses, my angles, and my artistry, resulting in images that feel authentically you. This is not just photography- it’s a collaboration to tell your story in the most meaningful and beautiful way possible.

With over six years as a wedding photographer and more than 200 weddings behind me, I bring a wealth of experience to every celebration I capture. I know how to handle everything from choatic timelines to unexpected moments with confidence and care. With years of experience in the industry and deep connections within the local wedding community, I work seamlessly with other vendors behind the scenes to ensure every detail is carefully considered and executed. My couples can trust that they are in good hands, allowing them to fully immerse themselves in their day. My experience sets me apart, and my goal is to provide not just a beautiful final gallery, but peace of mind every step of the way.

Tori makes you feel like you are the most special person on the planet.

She takes care of how you are feeling throughout your photo session and was SO fun to be captured by her. Her images aren't only amazing - but she creates an experience of your time with her.

  • Please send me a message via my contact page and give me all the details about your wedding or session! After determining which package is perfect for you, I’ll send you a booking packet which contains a contract to book your date + time, as well as a deposit (50% for sessions, 35% for weddings). No wedding or session is booked until the booking packet is completed.

  • I always recommend booking sooner as opposed to later. Dates fill up fast, and I typically begin booking weddings 1-2 years in advance. I do take on a limited number of weddings per year, so I can be deliver the highest quality of work possible for my clients.

  • Payments for weddings are typically broken down into 3 payments: the first is due to reserve the date, the second due halfway through, and the last is due 30 days prior to the wedding date.

    Payments for sessions can be broken down into 2 (50/50) payments, the last of which will be due 1 week prior to the session date.

  • Turn around times for weddings will be between 8-12 weeks, depending on the time of year. Sneak peek galleries will be delivered usually within 1 week of the wedding date.

    Turn around times for sessions will be between 2-3 weeks.

  • I do retouch small distractions and anything that isn’t permanent. (ie: a bruise, a blemish, a stain on a shirt, etc.) However I won’t drastically photoshop or alter the look of any of my subjects in any way.

  • Rescheduling a wedding day will require payment of a second retainer fee (35%).

    Rescheduling of a session will be assessed on a case-by-case basis, however any session that needs to be rescheduled where there is a studio fee included will need to be made again, since any fees made for the original booking will be lost.

  • Yes, I include a second shooter in all of my wedding packages of eight hours or more to ensure no moment is missed. The second shooter helps capture different angles, serves as a backup, and can be in places I can’t be if multiple events occur at once or if things run behind schedule. Most of the time, my second shooter is my husband, Matt, and together we’ve worked seamlessly as a team since 2020!

  • I would be honored to capture your love story wherever your dream destination is. I do however only take on a very limited number of destination weddings per year. I have crafted packages specifically for destination weddings with all the travel fees rolled up into one figure to make things easy.

  • Absolutely, I adore photographing intimate celebrations and would be honored to capture yours. For weddings and elopements under 8 hours (available Monday through Thursday), please contact me for a personalized quote.
