COLLECTION ADD -ONS

Thinking you’ll need a little extra time on your day? I am always happy to add ONE additional hour of coverage into your package at a discounted hourly rate.

I always encourage my couples to consider hiring a second shooter. I can’t capture multiple things at the same time or be in two places at once. Hiring a second photographer means more of those important moments and emotions get captured. Second shooters allow for more variety in your gallery. They can capture different angles and perspectives of those big moments like walking down the aisle with your dad or your first kiss with your husband. Second’s also allow for more flexibility in the day. They can capture the guys getting ready, while I hang with you and your bridesmaids. I can capture sunset portraits while they capture details. That way I can stick with you for the most important parts of the day, but the smaller details and moments still get captured.

Want to store your digital high resolution photos on something physical? I’m happy to order a custom engraved wooden usb to hold your photos. I will upload all of your photos to the usb, in addition to uploading them to the online gallery.
MEET TORI DAWN
Hey I’m Tori Dawn, I’m a wedding and lifestyle photographer based in sunny Southern California in the charming town of Riverside. I’m a wife to Mr. Brandon Selden and a boy mama to 2 red headed, wild, smiley boys named Callen and Rowan. I’m an iced coffee addict, a collector of plants of all sizes, and a lover of slip on shoes (preferably Birks) cause mom life.
For me, photography is all about the moments. The moments that can pass in an instant, fade, and be forgotten over time.
I want to catch those moments and details for you to hold on to especially on your wedding day. The way your dad hugged you when he gave you away, your husband’s face when he saw you in your wedding dress for the first time, the flowers before they wilted, the cake before it’s eaten, how hard you danced with all of your favorite people. Every moment and detail of your day.
My hope is to freeze the moments and details of your wedding day through the lens of a camera. So you can remember exactly what it was like when you were there.

FAQS
How far in advance should we book with you?
I usually have my clients book 8 months - 12 months in advance. If your wedding is over 12 months away, you can let me know your date, I’ll put it on my calendar and then we’ll touch base again once it’s 12 months away. I won’t officially book your wedding until the 12 month mark.
How long does it take to edit my wedding photos, and how will they be delivered?
your photos can take up to 10 weeks to edit. But don’t worry I always send some sneak peeks within 48-72 hours after your wedding day to help hold you over! Editing a wedding gallery is a lengthy and detailed process that requires a whole lot of time, but it so worth the wait! Once they are finished your photos will be delivered to you via an online gallery and will be available on the online galley for 1 year after your wedding date. Please make sure to download all of your photos to a safe place as soon as your gallery is delivered. I will remind you before your gallery expires but would rather you download them all sooner than later. If you would like a hard copy of your photos, I offer a custom usb with all of your photos for an additional $90.
Why is there an engagement session included in every package?
Your wedding day is such an important day, I want you to feel as comfortable with me as possible by that day. And hanging out and shooting with me is the best way for you to get to know me and get a feel for how I shoot. So by your wedding day you can feel like I’m one of your besties/professional 3rd wheel who likes to follow you around with a camera. ;) And I Geta chance to get to know you all a bit more too. I love getting to know my couples, learning about them and their story and the things that are important to them. It helps me create that much more meaningful photos during your wedding day, because I know the meaning and love behind them.
What is your style of photography?
I lean toward lifestyle photography. Which is a form of photography that emphasizes moments, emotions and connections between people, movement, storytelling, and feels true to life and authentic to the people I am photographing. Throughout the day I will be capturing events as they unfold, which will mean a lot of candid photos, photographing the moment as it happens. There are also moments throughout the day where posing, prompting, and instructing will come into play i.e. bridal portraits, family portraits, and bridal party photos. I have my poses and prompts planned in advance so I’m always prepared to lead out and instruct you in those moments too.
What is your style of editing
I strive to edit my pictures to feel timeless, warm, bright, true to life, and authentic to the moment. I want your photos to bring you back to the second we took them. What it felt like to be there. I try to keep my colors consistent with what it actually looked like in real life. I don’t do any major retouching to my images. I touch up blemishes on skin and edit out anything distracting in the background. But that’s it. If you want photos of you, with major adjustments or changes to how you look. I am not the photographer for you.
How many photos will I receive from the day?
it depends on the collection you choose and how the day goes. There is never an exact number, but on average I deliver 40-100 images per an hour, so you can get an idea from that.
What happens if the weather is bad on our wedding day?
We’ll roll with the punches, if rain is in the forecast, you should consider ordering umbrellas for your guests, and a clear umbrella we can use for your photos. Rain is supposed to be good luck on a wedding day right? Don’t worry about it, all that matters is you're getting married! Your day will be perfect no matter the weather, and your pictures will be just as beautiful.
Do you offer physical prints?
Kind of, the online gallery I use called pic-time has amazing, super high quality prints, products, and albums that you are able to go in and customize and order yourself. A small portion of the sale goes to me, but the products are not sold directly by me or created by me. I like this option because it makes my packages more affordable than they would be if albums or prints were included. And then you can go in and order exactly what you want after all of your photos are ready.
