MEET THE PHOTOGRAPHER
Welcome, bride to be, and congratulations on your engagement! You must be on cloud nine. I help my couples navigate through a new and exciting season from engagement to their special day. With a love for communicating and an eye for detail, I share what I've learned from photographing over 100 weddings so that my couples can experience the wedding day they've always envisioned.
As an artist at heart, I value good craftsmanship, creating meaningful work, and authentically documenting my couples on one of the most important days of their lives. When I’m not photographing love stories, you can find me watching HGTV, playing frisbee with Willow (my Aussie!), or visiting someplace new with my college sweetheart, Ryan. We're firm believers that the best kind of adventure is one that is completely spontaneous!
I have a fascination with historic architecture (Savannah, anyone?!), a love for being by the ocean, and a serious craving for chocolate ice cream each and every night after dinner. I can't wait to meet you!
"Tori is an absolute gem! Her work on her blog was amazing and was exactly what I was looking for. Besides her work being amazing, she is an awesome person to work with!! She is so jovial and makes you feel so comfortable in front of the camera. You can tell she loves what she does, and she's fabulous at it! She caught so many great shots of my wedding day that I can forever hold near and dear to my heart and I'm so grateful for that! I cannot stop viewing the blog page of my wedding day since she sent it to me and I feel like I'm reliving the day all over again."

"Simon and I and both of our families and friends are loving the pictures! No one can stop talking about them, Simon and I keep looking at them. We really can't thank you enough for everything you did for us leading up to the wedding, on the actual day of, and of course for the incredible pictures."

"Tori is absolutely wonderful! I have been getting non-stop compliments on how amazing my photographs are! I cannot state just how truly happy I am that Tori was our photographer. She has such an eye for the details that I still can't decide which photo is my favorite. She is also super friendly and professional. Her response time to emails and/or texts is super quick too. Again, I cannot stress how much I enjoyed working with Tori!"

the process
I want to hear everything—how you met, funny first date stories, and how you got engaged! This is why I love to start the process with a coffee date. We’ll get to know one another, talk about the details of your day, and answer any questions you might have about working with me and figure out if we’re the best fit for each other. I find that I’m able to best serve my couples when we truly click!
If we are a great fit, the next step is to reserve your date with a signed contract and a 33% deposit. From there, we’ll begin planning your engagement session! There might be a few months in between your session and your wedding, but I’m always around to answer questions you have throughout the planning process. I know it’s a lot to think about!
About two months before the big day, I’ll check in again with a pre-wedding questionnaire to help me finalize the timeline, create the family formal shot list and to make sure I’m fully prepared to photograph your wedding. After the wedding, I’ll edit the images and upload them in an online gallery that will be available to you for 10 years. You can expect to receive your images between 4 and 6 weeks after your wedding.

engagement sessions
Being photographed can feel a little awkward! I do this for a living and I still always feel a little out of place when I have new portraits taken each year.
I’m a big fan of engagement sessions for a few reasons. First, they allow you to get comfortable in front of the camera! It takes time for most couples to warm up to being photographed and understand my posing style. Timelines can be pretty tight on weddings days and 30 minutes may be all we have for portraits - which is why I’ve found that wedding day portraits turn out so much better when couples do engagement sessions ahead of time!
Second, you can showcase your personalities in a more casual setting that is significant to the two of you (and even include pets!) While they’re great for save-the- dates, I’ve taken engagement photos anywhere from 18 months in advance to a few days before the wedding.
We love your work and we're ready to book! What's the next step?
Fantastic! To reserve your wedding date, I’ll need a completed contract and a 33% non-refundable deposit. If you don’t have a contract yet, just let me know and I’ll send one over! The remaining balance will be due 30 days before the wedding.

How many photos do your galleries typically include and can we print the photos ourselves?
The exact amount varies from wedding to wedding, but all galleries generally represent 75-100 images per hour of time spent photographing. Your online gallery will come loaded with fully-edited high resolution images you can print anywhere. You’re also welcome to share your wedding photos on Facebook as long as you credit me and link to my website.
