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.

Your Go-To Guide for All Things Santa Barbara

Tabitha +Jesse

"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!!"
