I knew that I wanted to invest in a great photographer with an eye for capturing an effortless and classic aesthetic for our wedding, and I am SO glad that I found Tori Watson. She is a true professional artist who is not only hard-working and passionate about her craft, but she is also incredibly kind, sweet, caring, friendly, flexible, and so pleasant to work with. My husband and I fell in love with all the photographs she sent us from our engagement shoot and wedding day. She really captured our love and the beauty of our wedding day better than I imagined possible. My husband and I just celebrated our first wedding anniversary and have loved reminiscing on our big day looking through the gorgeous photos she took. We know we will cherish these captured moments forever. We HIGHLY recommend Tori for all your professional photographing needs!!

Thank you for your amazing and beautiful work, Tori!! It was a dream working with you! (Sorry it's taken us this long to review you!)

Sincerely,
Emily & Daniel

Our photographer Tori, came recommended by our wedding planner Rachel who had actually never worked with her before. After looking at her work it was clear that her style matched ours and would be perfect to capture our special day.

We met Tori a few months before the big day to get to know her and do an engagement photo shoots on the Bay. The pictures were incredible and we had grown more and more excited for the chance to have her capture our wedding celebration.

Tori was an absolute pleasure to work with, her calm nature, kind words and true talent shined in every aspect of the process. She made the family photos and individual shots a breeze and we love the pictures we got as a sneak peek from her the day after.

We look forward to seeing our special day come to life through her lens in a few months!

We would absolutely recommend Tori to anyone looking for an incredible photographer who respects your budget and is able to capture pure joy in her images.

Thank you for an amazing day!
Kellie & Tom

We could not be happier with our decision to use Tori for our engagement and wedding photos! She was the first photographer we spoke with once we got engaged, because I quickly fell in love with her work. After we talked to her, I figured we should do our due diligence and at least speak to a few other photographers...so we did, then came running back and booked Tori, because no one else compares. She is so friendly, warm, and supportive- you get a friend as well as a photographer with Tori, and she truly cares about her clients. Our engagement photo session with her was so fun! We were both initially a little nervous about being in front of the camera, and within 5 minutes we were laughing and felt totally relaxed. Doing that session with her really put us at ease when it came time for wedding day photos, and it's so great that she includes it in her packages. Her presence on our wedding day was just wonderful. She was so calming, and treated our family and friends like her own, while still moving things along efficiently. Tori's photos are stunning, romantic, and timeless. They will be on our walls and in albums for years to come. They are such a gift to us and our families, to help us remember a joyful time that goes by far too quickly. We cannot recommend Tori highly enough!

Tori was our photographer for both our engagement shoot and our wedding day. I cannot say enough good things about Tori! We LOVE our engagement photos and while we don't have all of our wedding photos yet, the sneak peek she sent us is AMAZING. Everyone has commented on how beautiful the photos are, and she perfectly captured us as a couple. She is so great to work with and made the whole process painless and wonderful. We actually had a lot of fun taking our photos! Tori is so talented and we can't wait to see the rest of our pictures.

Tori did a *phenomenal* job on both our wedding and engagement photos. She approached both our wedding and our engagement with such professionalism--yet was always laid-back. We appreciated her demeanor so much; she always gave clear but kind instructions for posed pictures, which helped everything move along quickly and smoothly. She was just a kind and calming presence all the time, and we are so glad she shared our day with us!

She also did an incredible job moving everything along quickly. We wanted to get to the reception as soon as possible after the wedding and she helped us do just that--without sacrificing on picture quality at all. (I have no idea how she got such perfect pictures of the family so quickly!) She knew just how to keep things moving.

Most important--our pictures are *amazing*. The posed pictures--from the ones of just the two of us, to the big group pictures--were all perfect. And, we got so many amazing candids--both from our ceremony and our reception. We were shocked by how many perfect reception and ceremony photos she captured, especially because both events were indoors!

We were blown away by Tori and her photos--and would recommend Tori in a heartbeat!

Tori is absolutely amazing! She makes you feel so comfortable in front of the camera and her photos are truly a work of art. Her style of photography is traditional with a bit of edge, so you don't feel like your photos look like everyone else's. She did my engagement and wedding photos and sends the sweetest gifts and packages with her albums, and is so timely with everything. I'm pregnant know and plan to use her again for baby pictures. There's no other photography in Richmond better!

How do you even put into words the gift of friendship and the documentation of legacy you've been given? Working with Tori Watson Photography for our wedding photography was the single best decision we made during the entire wedding planning process. She time and again exceeded our expectations. Her ability to calm nerves, be a TRUE friend on the biggest day of your life, and capture the raw emotions you remember feeling is, quite simply, irreplaceable. She told our love story. From dating, proposal, to wedding day - Tori was there for it all. She adventured with us for our engagement session at a waterfall and hugged & cried with us on our wedding day. Tori "gets it," deeply cares, and is able to authentically capture who you are as a couple, today & for future generations. Photography is all you have left. Her artistry is unparelleled and her photographs have become the most precious keepsakes we have.

Tori was absolutely amazing to work with. From the beginning she really clicked with both myself and my husband. We all had a great appreciation for family keepsakes and tying family traditions into the wedding. She made us feel so comfortable during our engagement photo shoot and talked me through my nerves concerning the weather the day of the wedding. Overall, don't miss out on her because she does absolute stunning work and is just such a positive energy to have on your wedding day!

We love Tori!!!!!!! Tori did my husband and I's engagement photos and wedding photos. We first connected with her when she photographed a wedding that I was a bridesmaid in. I absolutely loved her creativity and the heart behind her work. She was a top priority of ours in choosing our vendors, so photography was the first thing we booked! She is spunky, helpful, professional, kind, patient, and just a gem of a person! She was a joy to have around on our wedding day... it felt like we just had a friend following us around all day, subtly giving us hints about how to perfectly capture each moment. She took the time to send a questionnaire asking if there were any specific photos that we wanted, which was so helpful in planning ahead. Lastly, she is extremely affordable -- the way she so beautifully captured our journey through engagement and marriage is just priceless! Huge Tori fans here! We would choose her over and over again!!!

Tori is awesome and her work is awesome. Our wedding photos are insanely beautiful -- such great quality and we will treasure them the rest of our lives. We had a great wedding day she contributed so much to it!
