Tory Williams Photography

Tory Williams brings a fresh perspective to wedding photography. She focuses on telling a story with her images by capturing the personal moments and details that make each wedding unique. Tory goes beyond the surface to find family connections and those unique instances that are commonly missed by an outsider coming in. In the end she creates a portfolio of images that relive and share these memories for generations.

Tory graduated from Skidmore College where she studied Studio Art and French. While at Skidmore Tory lived in Paris for a year working as an apprentice and developed her passion for photography. Post-graduation Tory moved to New York City and studied at the International Center of Photography and the School of Visual Arts. For the past five years, she has been shooting weddings in the United States and abroad. In January 2009 she completed a series of weddings in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Photo District News recently awarded Tory as a “Top Knot” photographer in April 2009.

Accolades

	"Tory Williams is, first and foremost, an artist. She has a knack for finding what may seem to be inconsequential details and turning them into cherished memories. Tory’s photos are classic and unique, unlike many of her kind. When others viewed our pictures, they all said, “Your photographer created a story of the night.” Reading the other testimonials, I think we all agree. Tory puts together the whole picture by documenting the parts. She has an ebb and flow to each story that can only be created by a true master of her craft. You can tell through Tory’s pictures that she has a passion and a creativity that are unmatched. We are so incredibly impressed with Tory’s skill that we would undeniably recommend her to family, friends, and any strangers we may meet! We want to thank Tory for telling our story in such beautiful and invaluable photographs." Josh Sullivan and Martha MacKenzie Rochester, NY Their wedding slideshow!
	"Tory is fabulous! A great photographer with a relaxed yet extremely hard-working disposition…a priceless trait to have in your wedding photographer. Our guests loved her and loved her pictures, as did my husband and I. We were confident that Tory would do a fantastic job and she absolutely did. It's actually amazing she gets all these fabulous shots without disrupting a thing or getting in anyone's way...another priceless trait! We were over the moon with Tory, she's sweet as pie, great to be around at your event & a talented photographer! I highly recommend Tory to shoot your wedding!” Kris Robertson and Michael Piliero Ithaca, NY Their wedding slideshow!
	"When Ivan and I were planning our wedding, it really seemed as though things just fell into place. The venue was one I came across online, but it turned out my sister's ad agency worked on their website and she knew the owner well. The caterer was one I has used for a holiday party in my old job. My favorite cupcake shop made the cake. My dress was bought off the rack at first sight on super- duper employee discount by a friend at Ralph Lauren...basically all the ducks lined up! Now, the photography...I first saw Tory's work from my friend Amy Kutney's wedding. For some reason her images just drew me in. They were so simple, elegant, artistic, and just the perfect amount of not too "weddingy". When she was available for our wedding date, I was so relieved. Partly because that huge item could be checked off my list, but mostly because I really had complete blind faith in her that she would deliver exactly what we didn't even know we wanted. And the amazing thing was, the results we got couldn't have exceeded our expectations more. Tory is a wonderful and very intuitive photographer, and she gave us images that we will cherish forever."

	“Tory has exceeded our expectations and has wowed everyone that saw her photographs. We had a specific look for our wedding photography and she really captured the moment of everyone’s best without being intrusive! Absolutely will hire her again, and would love to work with her as well!” Lisa Eunhae and David Landa Rincon, Puerto Rico Their wedding slideshow!
	"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!" Emily Gilbert and Jeremy Borer Jersey City, NJ Their wedding slideshow!
	"As a photographer, she has a remarkable talent to capture the moment and tell a story through her photography. With such a limited timeframe, Tory was able to take some gorgeous shots of our families, bridal party and the two of us. But the most special photos are the candid ones that she took during the ceremony and unexpected moments. I also didn't notice Tory all day somehow but she was able to capture the important moments without being in the way! I also felt like Tory was just really great to work with as a person… she's got a very calming presence and since I'm a little "type A," I'm sure I was a little crazy on our wedding day (I remember kind of running around and throwing on my dress after makeup, etc.). She was so relaxed and very easy to be with at all times -- from our first meeting to the day-of. We have gotten so many rave reviews from friends and family on our wedding pictures and I can't wait to put together our album. If Tory is free on your wedding day, I would definitely book her!!"
