Torches Together LLC

  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves Buffalo, MO

At the age of 19 I left my small, strange hometown of Branson, Missouri to see the world. I began taking photos as a way to capture everything I was seeing. During this nomadic season, I continuously developed my style while creating as many new experiences as possible. While hitchhiking through New Zealand in 2014, I met the love of my life. Her name is Indy. After years of long distance and visa paperwork, we got married in 2019. We now are lucky enough to capture other folk's love story.

Awarded Best of Zola
I cannot recommend Henry and Indy enough. This couple captured our elopement better than I even could have imagined. My husband and I have their photos all over our walls now to commemorate the special day. Torches Together did Super 8 video, 35mm film, polaroids, and digital photos for us (I know, we really got the whole shebang). We could not be happier with any of it. Henry and Indy were so kind and easy to work with, had a calm and joyful presence throughout the ceremony, and really made us feel like we were hanging out with friends more than taking photos. It was a true joy. BOOK THEM!

More than a decade ago, two sisters - knew there had to be a better way to allow talented photographers and videographers to focus on what they do best -- create gorgeous art -- while providing couples with better support in the planning process. Together, they created an all-inclusive, stress-free environment where couples can choose from talented local photographers and videographers and work with a small team of planning experts equipped and eager to make everything a success. With the pressure gone, you can truly enjoy your big day. Relax and rest assured that all the emotional and moments will be documented with unmatched quality.

We were so pleased with OLAS and glad we hired them for our wedding. By far one of the easiest vendors we worked with. They were prepared, communicative, and always available for questions. We were impressed from the beginning with their clear communication and responsiveness and we stay impressed after seeing the end result. We hired OLAS for photography and videography. Both did an amazing job and we were so happy with the results. OLAS also took the time to understand our needs and the unique cultural components of our ceremony (Indian Catholic ceremony) that needed attention. Highly recommend this company for your wedding. We were also so happy with the video quality - it was like watching a movie!

We cannot say enough good things about Heather and her team. I discovered Heather in a bride group and knew that I just had to have her as my photographer. I expected beautiful photos, but we got so much more. Heather and her team made our wedding era so wonderful. She treats you like a best friend she’s known her whole life. Not to mention her team’s passion for travel. Heather and Andrew traveled 6 hours each way for our engagement photo shoot, then again for our wedding. Their attention to detail and passion for real-life photos really makes the perfect wedding album. They captured every important moment. We are so thankful. We could not recommend the team enough!

After our first photographer fell through, we found Caz and luckily he happened to be available on our wedding date. From the very first contact, he was incredibly responsive (super important to us), friendly and professional. His work looked great so we were excited - then we found out he was featured in Vogue! We were stoked. He was amazing to work with on the wedding day - punctual, friendly, got all the requested shots, and the whole bridal party loved him. We got our pictures back today - and they’re so much better than we could have dreamed of. It’s no wonder he was featured in Vogue - his work is artistic, candid, and beautiful. Thank you Caz for giving us such beautiful memories so we can relive the best day of our lives.

I have 12 years of photography experience, 6 years in the industry and have shot more than 180 weddings. Safe to say, this IS my passion. Couples and wedding photography can be SO stressful--the pressure to look and be a certain way or follow trends is INTENSE. Wedding stress is real and I am anti it all the way. For my couples, they're job is just to show up and have fun. I will do ALL the rest!

Aside from capturing incredible photos that truly encapsulate the magic of our special day, Melissa went above and beyond the call of duty - she even helped us find an amazing DJ and assisted me with a last-minute wedding dress mishap! Working with Melissa was an absolute no-brainer, and she was by far the most stand-out vendor we had the pleasure of working with. The photos she delivered speak for themselves, and we are forever grateful for the fun, joyful, and professional way she contributed to making our wedding day so incredibly special.

Hey there! My name is Evan and I am a wedding photographer with over 10 years experience in the industry! I describe my style as photojournalistic, candid, cinematic with true to life dramatic tones. I aim to be the laid back calming presence that you want in a vendor, while also being someone who takes the reigns as a trusted professional that keeps you organized and on time. I have a vast level of experience in many shooting situations (tons of venues, inclement weather, tricky lighting, and other surprises - you name it!) I treasure the relationships I get to foster with my clients. Documenting for you is my honor - lets connect!

I could not recommend Evan enough!! She has been taking photos for our family for over 10 years. She’s taken photos of our family’s high school graduation, weddings, anniversary’s, and family photos. She’s more than a photographer, she's a genuine human telling a story of life. She makes anyone feel comfortable behind a camera (my husband HATED photos being taken of him and was so skeptical of having her take photos of us. When we left our first session with Evan I asked how he felt, He told me he will never have photos taken with anyone else. He never felt like he was on camera but just with me in a new space! A HUGE win for us!!) She really makes you feel like you’re a family in motion rather than subjects to her camera. She’s always prompt in delivering a gallery and always makes sure we like them! (We have never ever been disappointed in 1 photo). She’s so calm and enjoyable to work with. Her attitude and energy are what make her the best human to photograph a life in front of her. Thank you Evan, for capturing the moments that matter the most to us and for being our forever family photographer. We will continue to value the memories you’ve give us forever.

Nelena and Dom took photos at my rustic/modern wedding at cider mill in Princeton, Illinois. Once the four of us met, my husband and I loved how easy it was to speak to Nelena and Dom and how they immediately understood where we were coming from. As introverts we wanted a photographer with a larger-than-life personality, someone who would find candid moments on our day and Andreoni Photography really brought the fun. I can’t stress enough how truly wonderful our experience was. The two of them worked so well together. They brought so much excitement and fun when capturing photos of our wedding party. Nelena and Dom were always so responsive to my many questions and concerns I had. I could expect a response from either of them within 24 hours and usually much quicker than that. The first time my now-husband and I saw the photos, we melted! We had a date night and snuggled up on the couch, and loaded the photos onto our big screen. It truly felt like we were back on our special day. We loved the unique poses and fun and intimate moments Andreoni photography captured. I had no idea our small town wedding could look so incredibly beautiful. The finished photos ooze class, sophistication and refinement.

Hi I’m Emma, an AR based, traveling photographer! My style is a blend of film, editorial, and artfully nostalgic imagery. I’m an observant documenter at heart. I was heavily raised on indie & coming of age films, so being moved by visuals is my cup of tea!! When it comes to your day, my goal is to direct when needed without interfering with the moment. I want to capture your spouse shedding a tear, your Uncle Jim going for his second plate of food, and your bff busting it down on the dance floor. I prefer to be a fly on the wall for these moments, but put on fergalicious and you leave me no choice but to hit the dance floor.

Emma is AMAZING! She brought our vision to life above and beyond what I could have imagined. She made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera and we genuinely had so much fun taking photos. The photos felt like us, which was the most important thing for us. 1000/10 would recommend her!!
