Kramer, yes, that’s his real name, has known Victoria her whole life: he’s her (super cool… I mean look at that moustache) younger brother. With a passion, eye, and extensive education in art, Kramer joined the team last year as Photo Assistant and Videographer. He helps carry and set up equipment, keeps us on time for the day, retrieves wandering bouquets, and is the cameraman for the wedding short films we have added to the menu this year!
Kramer
Victoria's artistic training stems from her ballet and musical stage performance background, along with a classic and modern art education at the College of William & Mary. Photography became one of Victoria's earliest artistic passions, and has been her professional craft for over a decade after shooting her first wedding at 18. Inspired by Romantic and Edwardian-Era art, Victoria utilizes a unique blend of hands-on artistic direction behind the camera, an editorial approach, powerful lighting, and a deep knowledge of artistic principles to produce rare and extraordinary images that glow with warm, rich color and intense, romantic emotion.

kind words from:
Spring & David
"If you ever have the opportunity to work with Tori,
BOOK HER IMMEDIATELY!"
She is incredibly talented at capturing candid, beautiful and genuine moments and has an amazing eye for every single detail! Even though we're never in front of the camera, she made us feel so comfortable, relaxed and happy, which resulted in gorgeous and natural photos that were a perfect representation of us as a couple (except we looked really, really good!).
We got so many compliments from everyone in the wedding party, family, and people in attendance at our wedding for her professionalism, enthusiasm, and kindness. She really goes above and beyond to make the experience fun and enjoyable, and is always available to answer any question or concern. For an anxious bride like me, she was a saving grace - I had zero qualms throughout the planning process and the wedding day about the photography! Tori is the absolute best- do not hesitate!! We are so grateful and beyond lucky that she was there to capture some of the most important moments of our lives!

"I normally hate having my photo taken,
BUT VICTORIa
MADE IT FUN."
02
Victoria took wonderful photos for my engagement and wedding and also helped my wife and me greatly with planning to get the best shots on the big day. She is wonderful to work with, and promptly responded to the many questions we had, even those only tangentially related to photography at the wedding. Many people at my wedding told me how her easy-going personality made them feel comfortable having their photo taken. I normally hate having my photo taken, but she made it fun! I highly recommend Victoria.

Kristin's Maid of Honor
"Working with you made me earmark your contact info
FOR when I get married someday!"
03
As a maid of honor for the Bennett wedding I loved working with you!!!! You made it so I did not have to be in charge, and told me when I was standing with bad posture or overall doing anything awkward. The pictures of the bride and groom were stunning and working with you made me earmark your contact info for myself when I get married someday! I have been in several weddings and always had to be with the photographer to tell them who was needed what shot of which family members was next and it was so stressful! You did an amazing job with our group and I had zero responsibilities in this arena which is how it should be. I love love loved working with you and would highly recommend you to any bride I come across!!! Thank you so much!!!!!

I have worked with so many photographers,
AND YOU STAND OUT AT THE TOP."
04
Although I have only worked with you once, I have worked with so many photographers and you stand out at the top! I have been in business professionally since 2012, however my first wedding in 2006. Never until I met you did I witness such a seamless mini boudoir session worked into the beginning of the “getting ready photos” and then off to the first look and wedding! I mean, your photos exude so much candid beauty between these couples, I wish I knew of you back when I got married!

"They are exactly what I envisioned -
THE BEAUTY, THE REALNESS, THE ENDLESS LAUGHS."
06
These are so beautiful and so real, I couldn’t help but smile and laugh as we looked through them. They are exactly what I envisioned when we started this process - the beauty, the realness, the endless laughs. I am constantly reminded, by our own photos and those you share on Instagram, that we made the absolute best decision in having you as our photographer. Thank you for your time, your dedication, your kindness, your professionalism, and sharing your talent.

"I trusted her to capture our wedding
IN A WAY THAT WOULD FEEL TIMELESs."
07
Before I was engaged I knew I wanted Tori as our photographer. Her portfolio of work is stunning, but more than that I trusted her and her ability to capture our wedding in a way that would feel timeless. As soon as we locked her down for our wedding date, Tori was all-in with us regarding our vision for the day and how we wanted it to feel. Tori's energy and excitement made capturing our engagement photos and wedding photos a joy. She's all the things you look for in a photographer (talented, proactive, professional, funny etc.), but she's also a great friend and a pleasant person. She made such an important and sometimes stressful part of the overall wedding experience, easy and enjoyable. There's no photographer I'd recommend more when it comes to photographing weddings. So glad we got to have her for our big day!

"Tori really put thought into
every little thing to make our day special."
08
I just need to take a moment to absolutely RAVE about how amazing Victoria is! My husband and I decided to elope in Kauai, Hawaii in 2017. We wanted an intimate but beautiful day. We had no set plans or locations aside from that and had never been to Kauai before but in viewing photos, we knew that was where we wanted to get married. When looking for someone to photograph our wedding day, I stumbled upon Tori and I am SO GRATEFUL that I did. Immediately in talking with her and viewing her stunning work, I knew she was the one we wanted to book. She went out adventuring in Kauai days before our ceremony and found all of the perfect spots. When we met her, things just felt so easy and comfortable. I couldn't have been happier with our decision. Tori really put thought into every little thing to make our day special. If I have any words of advice, it is to HIRE HER! You will not be disappointed.
