“My husband and I have never had a big, traditional wedding mindset -- we firmly believe that getting married is about whatever works best for a particular couple so long as they're celebrating their love the right way.
For us, that meant doing something intentional, special, and unique.
And oh boy, did we ever get that with Tori.
I have the absolute privilege (HONOR, really) to know Tori well. I have seen how amazing she is at her job just through the evidence (photos, couples raving about her, etc). but never could have fully understood just how gifted, talented, and amazing she is until we fully experienced it for ourselves.
Leading up to our day, Tori helped us figure out the perfect location for us -- a spot we'd never been -- while managing and juggling all of the logistics for us (could we do the jeep trail?, when would the sun set?, could we make a reservation for dinner too?, would we like the spot?, etc.).
Let me be clear -- I am not a planner. And one of the biggest reasons we wanted to elope was to avoid the traditional stress that usually comes with "planning" a large wedding. To say that Riley and I felt zero stress would be a dramatic understatement. The entire process was FUN and EXCITING -- exactly what we always wanted it to be. And that was just leading up to the day.
The day we got married was unreal in the best way possible. I can't describe what it's like to have a photographer there with you who sees you, understands you, and most importantly documents your love authentically. We couldn't stand the idea of a big, pose-y photoshoot on a day we wanted to be so genuine and about our love. And you know what? We didn't get an ounce of that.
Our day was pure magic. Blissful, stunning, 1000% joyful magic.
And Tori was one of the biggest parts of that. Trust your day (and your love) with her and never look back.
And, as a bonus, the photos are so stunning we cry every time we see them!”
