Amazing artistry

Torri, and her assistant on our event Neil, were fantastic. Torri really is not just a wedding photographer who shows up and takes pictures but rather an artist who makes sure that the special moments are preserved to be cherished in a thoughtful and elegant way. Highly highly recommend, and thank you, Torri!

More than just a photographer

Torri and her assistant went above and beyond to make our day seamless and beautiful. Torri is super easy to work with from the initial meeting to our big day. Very personable and takes the time to get to know her clients, which translates into great pictures. She did our engagement pictures and wedding pictures and they came out amazing. Her style of photography is exactly what we were looking for, which is why we chose her. We didn't have to settle for her style of photography which shows how versatile she is in capturing your big day in the way you want to remember it. She also helped out with more than just the photography during our wedding; such as hemming our flower girl's dress, giving the bride pointers on walking down stairs in her dress, and really attending to every need of the bride during the wedding. She is all around great to work with and we highly recommend her for all of your photography needs.

Easiest decision ever!

Torri was the very first vendor I decided on and it was by far the easiest decision during the whole wedding planning process. The second you meet her, you feel like you've known her for years. And for a lot of people that's who you want to spend a lot of time with on one of the most exciting days of your life. She truly enjoys what she does. We would be walking to another area to take pictures and you would hear "ooh! let's try over here real quick!". She makes sure everyone looks their best in pictures. If someone forgot to take something out of their pocket and it's noticeable, she'll remind them to empty pockets before snapping the shot. Our pictures came out absolutely beautiful and I couldn't be more thankful to have so many wonderful memories that we can look back at for years to come.

Love you Torri

There are not enough words for me to express my love for Torri. She has a creative mind, electric energy and a presence about her that controls the room and keeps the day running smoothly. Not only did I get a photographer but also a day-of wedding coordinator. Torri understood everything I asked for with my wedding images and went above and beyond to achieve them. She assisted me with wardrobe malfunctions, catering malfunctions and saved our wedding day from things that felt catastrophic, to mere bumps in the road. Not only was Torri amazing but so was her assistant (dad), and my second photographer, and her partner, Robb. They are an absolute dream team. They come together and work as one unit while each expressing creative freedom and capturing something truly, truly beautiful . I cannot recommend Black Raven Imagery enough for your wedding but also for you ladies doing boudoir photography for your hubby to be...and then said boudoir photography leading to your maternity shoots ;) much love, Madeline and Shaka london

Wonderful & Stunning Pictures from an AMAZING photographer

Tim and I married on October 5 2019. Torri honestly was a god send. Our engagement pictures are amazing. We had so much fun that day with Torri. So, I could not have asked for a better photographer on our most special and nerve wrecking day. She and her colleagues made everything so simple with my gang of misfits. She was so prepared and had such a calming yet fun effect on everyone. The images she captured are sure to stun. She was my first choice in photographer and I am 110% overly happy we choose to change our wedding date just to have her. Which means she is also a good luck charm, because our original date was rained out, but our wedding date we had was a gorgeous day. Thank you Torri for all the great memories. HUGS Tim & Isis Corris

Highest Recommendation

Tori and Rob from Black Raven were outstanding. They were super easy to work with and so much fun to hangout with. They are incredibly knowledgeable regarding each detail of a wedding, and helped facilitate the entire day. They also made sure to capture each and every moment of the event, including individual photos of us with each important family member/friend. Black Raven was more than we ever could have asked for, and I highly recommend their services to anyone looking for their photographer.

Amazing!

Torri is wonderful! She is so informative and honest throughout the whole process. We met her at a wedding expo and knew pretty instantly that she was the one we wanted to book for our big day. She has a big personality and it shows in the pictures she likes to take, which are AMAZING! Her second shooter, Dave, was also great as well. When I saw the finished photos, I honestly started to tear up (at work) because they really captured the wonderful memories of that day. If anyone ever asks for a photographer, I would highly recommend her every time! Thank you, Torri, for the beautiful photos and everlasting memories!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
