Tory was so wonderful to work with from the moment we had our consultation with her! She completely understood and executed the vision we had for our pictures. Tory captured beautiful candid and natural pictures of us and our family, all while seamlessly and easily blending into the day. She was patient and laid back while trying to gather our very large families for photos, and at the end of the day we received lots of inquiries about who our photographer was. The photos came out exquisitely, from the gorgeous outdoor portraits to the candid photos of our families enjoying the reception. We now have such beautiful pictures to commemorate our day. I would recommend Tory to anyone looking for an easy experience and gorgeous photos - she is fantastic at what she does.

Tory is an absolute dream come true when it comes to finding a wedding photographer. She has amazing energy and gets ALL the shots by bouncing around the entire event! She is so easy to work with and has such a positive attitude. She also shot our engagement session in Jersey City which was such great practice for us - and now we will have photos to remember our engagement forever. I would recommend Tory to any bride that is looking for great service, a trustworthy photographer, and someone who is also very prompt with sending back photos. I can't say enough about Tory!

Tory Williams is an absolute dream photographer. She is professional, courteous and really made us feel like movie stars all day. We didn't feel like we had to stop and take pictures all day, Tory documents everything from start to finish with a great flow to the entire celebration. Our pictures are so beautiful and after all of our planning and partying I am so glad that we had Tory because we have the best memories of our day for years to come.

From the first time we met Tory, my daughter and I knew we would choose her to photograph my daughters wedding. Her photos are amazing! She captures every detail while staying in the background. I didn't even know she was there! Tory shot a great mixture of wonderful candids and great portraits. We feel its the perfect mixture of pictures.

Just getting back all the photos in less than 2 weeks, I can honestly say one photo is better than the next, making it hard to choose.

Tory's bubbly personality is so welcoming and calming. Our guests haven't stopped talking about her.

It was a pleasure working with Tory, who put in a 12 hour day. Thank you, Tory, for capturing so many special moments at my daughters wedding. I would highly recommend Tory as a wonderful photographer.

Amazing Amazing photographer. She was the photographer at my best friends wedding a few years ago and I love how she just captured the moments at the wedding. Her style is photo journalistic and more real than the millions of posed pictures you have to take. She joined us early in the day and took photos of us getting ready in our rooms. Then once at the site was all over the place capturing all the moments that I know we will love to have. She also feels like your friend who happens to be taking pics sometimes. I never felt like she was an "in your face" kind of photographer. She is just awesome.

Tory is the quintessential photographer for the modern classic bride. She balances the idea of photojournalism with the most beautiful aesthetic. She is a joy to have around day-of (strikes that perfect balance) and as part of the entire wedding experience - from engagement shoot through wedding planning and even after - she thinks about the couple, the wedding - and shoots very personally. Her use of natural light is insane!! Her second shooters are also tops - and she got us our photos so quickly! Out of all of our wedding vendors, when I hear of a new engagement, she is the first name I surface.

I cannot even begin to thank Tory enough for being such an integral part of the best night of my life. Her energy and presence was so wonderful and my family has not stopped talking about how cute and sweet she was. I feel very lucky that her amazing talent will be what I get to show off for the rest of my life when I show pictures to everyone!

We received our DVD's from Tory this week and sat down last night to watch both of them. Oh my word, it was so amazing to re-live the day!!

The set of 2 DVDs are in custom made wooden DVD cases which are gorgeous. Tory used a picture from our first dance on the cover the of the DVD's to add en even more personal touch! :) Even the "menu" is so snazzy with moving video icons!

Everything was perfect! Neither my husband nor I have seen a wedding DVD before but I had the faint idea that it would just be a straight up recording of the day. The feature film was beautifully edited incorporating songs from the day, voice overs from those dear to us, and gorgeous details shots mixed in with footage. We know that we're biased since it was our wedding day, but we'd like to think that we can now show this to ANYone and they would find it engaging and fun to watch! I love that Tory was able to take the whole day and create this wonderful 20 minute narrative. :)

When we watched the ceremony over again it was especially special to me, because I got to see things that I missed out on the first time: our parents being seated, the flower girl and ring bearer walking down the aisle, and the faces of our guests! I love how Tory took so many shots of the guests during the ceremony! All the angles and editing for the ceremony made something that had a VERY huge potential to be boring, into something that I can see myself watching over and over again.

My husband's favorite part were the speeches. The sound came through so well and you can hear every part of each speech. The whole day was such a blur that being able to sit down again and hear the words of our friends and family is precious.

Hubby and I were both so pleased with how everything turned out. Tory was a pleasure to work with! She was professional and easy-going, putting my and my entire wedding party at ease. We barely noticed her throughout the day because she filmed so smoothly! As much as we love the photos we received from the day, these videos capture so much more.

Tory is incredibly talented and puts in extraordinary effort (I have a friend in film so I have a little bit of reference to how long editing takes). Her style is the perfect balance of modern and classic. She created something we'll treasure always. :)

Tory Williams was a great find. She really brought out the best in people and then captured it on film. She was very organized and professional and kept us on track even when other people were slightly off it. Our photos are stunning and my wife and I could not be happier with them. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer.

Tory Williams is a must hire for anyone looking for a photographer who will capture the real moments that occur at a wedding. She is not someone who will create moments and make a fake photo. She has a knack for seeing what other photographers often miss. Her photographs are natural, beautiful, playful, and clever. She has a fun and relaxed demeanor, while at the same time very professional. Many of our guests after seeing our photos commented that they didn't even see her yet somehow she captured every moment from the perfect angle. I couldn't agree more. Tory is a wonderful photographer and a great person to have documenting any special event. Simply put- she is great.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
