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.

San Francisco 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

Jordynn + Erik

“She takes the time to get to know your story as a couple and your overall vision for your wedding She also maintained steady communication over the 8 month process with an initial zoom meeting followed by questionnaires and resources to assist with the planning process. Closer to the wedding she worked behind the scenes with our wedding coordinator to make everything flow seamlessly.”

“ I'm so glad we trusted her with being part of our special day!!”

Haley + Brett

“Booking with Torez was one of the best decisions we made when doing an anniversary mini session on our trip to San Francisco. We came across Torez on instagram and fell in love with her style and her energy. Through her clear directions and her understanding of what we wanted we ended up with the sweetest and loveliest photos that captured our favourite morning of the trip. We enjoyed listening to her music and just hanging out!”

“She is so genuine and kind and makes you feel like a million bucks.”

Patricia + Lyndez

“She really dug to know our 'vibe' as a couple, she's always smiling, so nice and professional (responds very quickly) and the photos are just stunning! She knows everything about San Francisco City Hall (the best places to take pictures but also how the elopement goes) and it's highly appreciated not only before, but also on the day of the ceremony. We don't regret our choice one single second and would recommend her to everyone!”

“To pick her for our elopement was the best choice we could make!”

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.
