About

I'm a Wedding Photographer living in Hertfordshire, right on the Essex border, but I am happy to travel anywhere.

​The main comment I receive from my couples and families is that I made them feel very relaxed which I feel is the highest of compliments especially from those that were anxious about having their photo taken.

My style is warm and relaxed.

It's super important to like the person taking your photos and It really matters that you feel comfortable so please feel free to ask me anything or call for a chat if you have any questions.

​Here are some useless facts to get to know me a bit -

​I spent the last decade traveling the world as cabin crew. I loved flying but now I have a family I'm enjoying being home, not living out of a suitcase, having Christmas off every year and not being vomited on so much. (someone once projectile vomited in my face. Just one of the many glamorous stories I have.)

​I have a 2yr old son called Rohan which is Pronounced Rowan. (Gaelic spelling) We call him RoRo. I don't think he knows who Rohan is.

​I have a Capital R birthmark on my right leg

​My arms are so double jointed that I can use them as a skipping rope. This is as impressive as it is absolutely revolting to witness.

​My favourite drink is an Aperol Spritz

​When I've had too much to drink I rap. Sober me knows I'm terrible but drunk me truly believes she's the real slim shady.

Toria is amazing. In the lead up to our wedding her communication was fast and responsive and she involved all of our requests. The planning process of a wedding can be very stressful- however Toria made us feel relaxed, and in control of exactly what we wanted to achieve.
She is professional and supportive, yet calm and relaxed- which is exactly what you need on a big day when nerves are shot to pieces!
She guided us through our day with ease, which is exactly what you want when you are not a particularly “posey” couple!
However the photos are a dream! They are warm, relaxed and inviting. They have captured the love and fun and energy that was flowing through our day. We are amazed that they are us in the photos as they look like something out of a celebrity magazine! We are beyond pleased with the results so far.
Toria was unassuming and blended naturally into our wedding party so that her presence was felt but not obvious at all times. We are so grateful and appreciative for her hard work and amazing results. We can’t wait to see the rest of our album! We left feeling like we had a friend in Toria, which was an amazing feeling at the end of our big day!

Not just a photographer

Highly recommend Toria, from the get go she was so easy to interact with, made us feel at ease and had loads of tips so that our day would run smoothly. On the day she was such a calming influence in the morning and then as the day progressed didn't even know she was there but she was everywhere! Taking the most beautiful photos. Post wedding she was also great keeping us informed and our 1st look pictures came out quickly which kept the wedding buzz going! Lovely lady, amazing photos, extremely happy Mr & Mrs ❤️

Amazing and professional

Toria has done a few photo shoots for us that have captured some really special moments for me and my family. My maternity shoot, a newborn shoot with my twin boys and our wedding day. Each time she made us all feel so comfortable and relaxed, the whole experience was really enjoyable.
We’ve been blown away with the amazing photos we have received each time and we Can’t thank her enough for making these incredible memories in our life something we can look back on as a family forever. Thank you!

Toria- the best wedding photographer ever.

Me and my husband used Torias services for our wedding in June 2023 and I can say wholeheartedly it was the best decision ever. From the first contact she made us feel comfortable and relaxed. The wedding day went perfectly and Toris captured it so well. She’s fantastic and I always recommend her to everyone I know- 10/10!

Toria photographed our wedding day and she did such an amazing job! She made us feel really comfortable, listened to my requests, and captured some beautiful moments. I wouldn’t hesitate to have her photograph other special occasions for us again!

Great experience with Toria

We were lucky enough to have Toria photograph our wedding, and she was brilliant! We were both quite anxious about taking couple shots but Toria directed us clearly and made us feel calm and relaxed. Her photos are also so so amazing, such lovely lighting and she has caught so many amazing natural happy moments for us. We can't thank you enough Toria! Thankyou for being so lovely :D
