Let me start by saying this—I’m a hopeless romantic. Think Hallmark movies and happy endings; that’s me in a nutshell! From shedding tears at every wedding I attend to being immersed in different love stories, I adore the magic that love brings into our lives.

Initially, photography was just a side hustle while I figured out my life. Fast forward to today, and it’s clear: I love being my own boss, mastering the art of photography, editing, and refining the craft that lets me connect with so many amazing couples like you.

Destination Wedding & Elopement Photography

Weddings can be dramas of their own, but the glow that surrounds a couple in love is what I live to capture. My lens focuses on the warmth and fuzziness of your special day, painting a vivid picture of love in its purest form. To me, each wedding is a sweet reminder of all the good that's left in the world!

To give all my couples the best experience possible I only accept a limited amount of weddings and elopements each year. If I receive an inquiry and I feel that other photographers would be better suited for you, I won’t hesitate to send you their way! I do this because all of my couples deserve my 110%, and the only way to ensure that is by only accepting bookings that are 110% aligned.

A Little About My Style

As a woman of color, inclusivity isn't just a buzzword for me - it's a mission. I understand firsthand the importance of seeing yourself reflected in the stories that get told, especially in life's most intimate moments. That's why my camera lens doesn't just focus on one type of love story—I aim to capture the beauty of diversity, celebrating love in all its glorious shades and orientations.

So when you scroll through my portfolio, you'll see a vibrant tapestry of human emotion and connection, each frame a testament to a more inclusive vision of love. Consider me not just your photographer, but also an advocate for love that knows no boundaries.

Inclusivity is Kind of a Big Deal Around Here

Oh, and I can’t forget my newfound passion for film photography! As I accumulate more film cameras than one could possibly need in one lifetime, it’s been so creatively fulfilling to experiment with a new medium. The nostalgic aspect is just as meaningful for me—my sisters and I grew up constantly “cheesing” for my mom and her film camera. When I dig up those photos now, there’s such a sentimental feeling that bubbles up and transports me right back to those days. My hope is that when I deliver your wedding or elopement film photos, they remind you of moments in a way that digital never can.

Life’s not all about work, right? When the camera is off, I’m 'Mama' to my pups Marley (also known as Marlita) and Seymour. I’m also an enthusiastic home chef, fitness junkie, and avid reader. I’m a huge family girl—I love spending time with my mom, sisters, and fiancé whenever I get the chance.

The Life Outside My Lens

Chaviea + Andrew

“Every step was clear, and communication was warm and easy! Of all the nerves that could come from planning the perfect cross-continent proposal, this was one of the easiest and seamless parts. The day came, and Torez was there as planned, and captured the surprise moment beautifully. If anyone is looking for a sign to book this wonderful photographer for all of your Bay Area needs, THIS IS YOUR SIGN.”

“From the moment I reached out, she was warm, collaborative, and ultimately supported the vision I wanted to create.”

Elana + Charles

“We are so happy we went with Torez for our wedding! She responded promptly, worked with our wants, gave us questionnaires to learn more about us and was overall very communicative the entire time. Honestly we could not have asked for a better photographer and would recommend her to any of our friends/family that are in need of a photographer!”

“Honestly we could not have asked for a better photographer.”

Elvira + Steve

“She did a fantastic job capturing every moment, and we couldn’t have asked for a better photographer to share our special day with. Torez was everything we wanted and more—she truly captured our love perfectly, going above and beyond to make sure every shot was right. Her attention to detail, professionalism, and warm presence made us feel so comfortable, and the results speak for themselves.”

“We are absolutely obsessed with our wedding photos, and it’s all thanks to Torez!”

From the first inquiry to the pop of champagne on your big day, you’re in good hands. I’m known for being uplifting, unflappable under pressure, and exceptionally accommodating…or at least that’s what my couples tell me! Got a last-minute location change or a floral emergency? Consider it handled. My goal is simple: to make your wedding as seamless, easy, and as fun as possible.
