You’re planning an intimate wedding or elopement on the Central Coast, whether that means exchanging vows by the ocean, in a vineyard, or within one of Santa Barbara's historic courtyards. You want the day to be filled with genuine moments that matter, really matter — without the pressure of traditional wedding expectations or a big crowd.
All you need now is someone who knows how can help you craft a day that’s as intimate as your love, and, of course, can create photos that make you feel all the feels every time you look at them.
Let me guess…
Welcome! I’m Torez, your Cali-native photographer for intimate weddings and elopements in Santa Barbara and the Central Coast. If you’re dreaming of tying the knot with the mountains on one side and the sparkling Pacific on the other, you’ve come to the right place. As someone who was born and raised in California, there are few things I love more than photographing couples in one of my favorite states. Between the cliffside views, mediterranean-like weather, and easy access to the beach, you really can’t go wrong with getting hitched in Santa Barbara.
My experience in biotech and wedding photography means your Santa Barbara wedding will be thoughtfully organized while still allowing space for those candid, heartfelt moments. I’ll make sure everything goes smoothly, so you can soak up every minute of your celebration without a single worry.
From sun-kissed beaches and vineyard views to historic courtyards and secret coastal spots, I know Santa Barbara like the back of my hand. If you're coming from out of town, I'll help you feel at home and ensure the Central Coast becomes a landmark you can return to when you want to relive your big day.
You’re not one for cookie-cutter ceremonies, and neither am I. Let’s plan an intimate Santa Barbara wedding that’s uniquely yours, reflecting your love story, personalities, and the vibe that makes your relationship special.
Whether you need tips on the best local venues, guidance on the perfect time for sunset photos, or a little help with the details, I’m here to make your intimate wedding or elopement experience everything you’ve ever dreamed of (plus a little more).

"There aren't enough words or stars to compliment Torez and her dedication to her work. We spent a year planning, consulting, and preparing with her to photograph our wedding morning and ceremony. We live in Florida and Torez made it SO easy to work with her from across the country!
She goes above and beyond, truly. Not just her amazing photograph skills but also constant communication, friendliness, and expertise. She always has a smile on her face and seems to enjoy what she does. We were thrilled to also get back sneak peaks the next day before we even flew back home! I would easily book her again and possibly fly her out to us for future big events! I recommend her 10/10 easily based on all she does."
"She goes above and beyond, truly."

"Torez's services are so much more than simply taking photos. 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.
Reflecting on the photos, I'm really impressed with all the candid moments she captured as we adventured around the city. Overall, Torez is a professional down to earth person who is genuinely excited to capture your love. I'm so glad we trusted her with being part of our special day!!"
