Hi, Im Tori.
I put my whole heart into what I do.
I’m a gem collecting, chai drinking, french fry aficionado residing in the Pacific Northwest with my husband/second shooter Herman, and two dogs. You can find me cruising around North Tacoma on my Vespa and playing the ukulele in my free time .
Taking photos is what I love doing the most and I put my whole heart into what I do.
If you’re looking for someone to just show up and take a few photos, I’m probably not the photographer for you (and that’s totally okay!) I like to think of myself, first and foremost, as an artist and documentarian. My clients value the creativity and diversity I offer in every gallery.
My style is candid, based off of genuine interactions, and movement! Don’t worry - we’ll get those traditional portraits your grandma loves, but I’m most passionate about the photos that show what your love is really like. With all of the goofiness, nose crinkle laughs, and the intimacy that comes from loving your person deeply and in those quiet moments.
One of my greatest strengths is bringing your vision of your day to life! I love dreaming up ways to make your day special and unique to the two of you! All of my clients receive a planning guide made with love by yours truly! It includes tons of advice, checklists and ideas to help make your day run as smoothly as possible. I also create timelines with my couples for their wedding or elopement!
Meet Herman
PHOTOGRAPHER //OFFICIANT // HUSBAND & DOG DAD
My husband, Herman is my second photographer, business partner, and assistant extraordinaire. We’ve been taking photos together since our first date in Pullman, WA, where we met. Go Cougs!
Herman’s background and previous career was in photojournalism. His documentarian style and impressive attention to detail are a major influence on our work. When he’s not taking beautiful photos, passing out snacks to hungry brides and grooms, or herding your family for those family portraits - he’s teaching 4th graders...so you know nothing phases him!
Herman is also an ordained minister! While he doesn't subscribe to any one faith, he is honored to personalize your ceremony to represent your beliefs and journey together.
Herman's services as an ordained minister are free for couples who are eloping!
Get to Know Us
Our first date was taking photos at a state park…7 years later, we still spend most weekends on the road, taking photos in nature.
I’ve had a camera in my hand as long as I can remember, but I started taking photos seriously when I was 17.
My first camera was a pentax spotmatic film camera. The images would expose on top of each other…but I loved it anyways.
Herman was born in Belgium! We dream of moving there someday when we’re old and gray.
We’ve been shooting weddings since 2015 and have been hooked ever since!
I will 100% dance with you on your wedding day! Annnnnd Herman will happily cheer us on.
It rained on our own wedding day and it was the most magical experience of my entire life. All of our family and friends just kept dancing as it continued to pour. It was joyous and so carefree!!!
