Located in Savannah, GA, and serving the southeast and beyond. Won best wedding photographer 2024 in Savannah,Ga region and recognized as one of the Best in GA for the last 2 years. Tori is passionate about creating a strong rapport with her couples to deliver a well curated gallery of real moments, thoughtful imagery and breathtaking magazine worthy portraits that are elegant and timeless. We have a strong associate team to be able to help a wide range of couples from elopement, micro, traditional and luxury weddings. In Tori's downtime, you can find her planning her next family adventure with her husband and two kids.

“We cannot recommend Tori Bronston Photography enough! From start to finish, Tori was an absolute dream to work with. Her photography is nothing short of stunning—every image she captured was beautiful, timeless, and full of emotion. As part of her standard package, Tori offers an engagement photoshoot, which we were initially hesitant about since neither my (now) husband nor I feel particularly comfortable in front of the camera. However, this session turned out to be an invaluable experience. It allowed us to get to know Tori, and more importantly, it helped us build a rapport that made us feel completely at ease on our wedding day. Tori has a natural way of making you feel comfortable and confident, offering gentle guidance while still allowing genuine moments to shine through. Tori’s experience and expertise were evident in the planning stages of our wedding. She worked closely with us and our wedding coordinator to create a timeline that ensured a seamless day. One thing we hadn’t realized before booking a photographer was just how involved they are throughout the wedding day. Your photographer is with you from getting ready, to the first look (if you choose to have one), through the ceremony, family and couple portraits, and the reception. Since so much of the day is spent with them, we feel incredibly lucky that Tori was the one by our side. Beyond her incredible talent, Tori was also mindful of our budget, helping us adjust our timeline to minimize the need for a second photographer—a thoughtful gesture we truly appreciated. She demonstrated unparalleled creativity in capturing our day, seamlessly managing the chaos of our suite as we both got ready. She orchestrated everything so flawlessly that she not only captured the magic of our first look but even made it possible for us to have a second first look before our cocktail hour after changing into tuxedos for our black-tie-optional reception. All of this was done with grace and professionalism, ensuring that our guests could fully immerse themselves in our celebration without feeling like they were constantly looking through our photographer. Take a moment to browse Tori’s galleries, and you’ll find image after image of breathtaking, emotion-filled moments. If you’re looking for a photographer who is not only wildly talented but also professional, kind, and adaptable, look no further than Tori Bronston Photography. We are beyond grateful for her work and will cherish our wedding photos forever.”

Think of documentary photos that set the scene and tell a story in a fashion-forward way.

“John and I got engaged in our hometown but decided to do a destination wedding. We found dozens of photographers but Chelsey's photos really stuck out to us because it was exactly what we wanted. We reached out and she got back to us the next day (We messaged her at like 11 at night). From there on, she personalized the entire experience for us, all the way from meeting for the first time, planning our style and what we wanted, down to the exact fine details of specific shots that we wanted (And many more that she recommended) . I had no idea how detailed photography can be! But when our pictures came back, I simply could not believe the level of attention she took. Chelsey is not just great at what she does, she's very friendly and is truly genuine in caring about the people she works with. Girl... if I can nominate you somewhere, let me know. I'll fill that form out immediately! :)”

I am a destination wedding & elopement photographer + planner based in New Mexico. I am originally from the small college town of Lexington, Kentucky, but before long my family moved to Toronto, Canada. Fast forward a handful of years, we moved to Nashville where I finished up elementary school and attended high school. I graduated from UTK in the spring of May 2020 with a BS in marketing and a collateral in entrepreneurship. After graduation I moved down to Florida to be with my partner who is stationed in the area and this past year we got moved to NM! I am an avid traveler & learner!

“Audrey is the best. She went above and beyond for my wedding which seemed so natural that she must do it for all. We had 3 phone calls since we lived far away. Ahead of the wedding she put together detailed timelines for myself and all those involved. We made edits together and we explored different package options. I had a large wedding where my Husband and I were getting ready at different locations, a Catholic Church Ceremony and a different location for reception. Audrey managed with ease. She has the calmest demeanor and the best art came from the day. I received “Sneak Peaks” of almost 80 photos within 2 days which was a shock to me. Upon opening them, the photographs were so beautiful we couldn’t even believe these were from our day. I HIGHLY recommend Audrey for your wedding. Big or Small, Formal or Informal. She is the girl. BTW her second shooter, Lauren quite literally saved our wedding ceremony when I forgot the rings. Lauren tracked down the limo driver and delivered the rings discreetly to the alter!”

“Abbey is a lovely human and an excellent photographer. She is very friendly and personable which makes the experience easy and fun. She spent a lot of time with us and helped us with poses, which is exactly what we needed. She is flexible, considerate and accommodating (I have POTS). We highly recommend Abbey for an enjoyable experience, she is 10000% worth it!”

I am a wedding and elopement photographer based in San Angelo, TX but I am always down for travel. I am military veteran and spouse with two children. My business provides me the freedom to do what I love and be with my family.

“Hiring a photographer was not originally part of the plan for our elopement but I am SO happy we decided to go for it, and even more happy we hired Caitlyn! Our day was captured perfectly and every moment is so beautifully retold through the photos. Her style is exactly the look we wanted and her attention to detail is much appreciated, we couldn’t be any more happy with how they turned out. We already have multiple printed and hanging throughout the house!”

Hey there love birds! My name is Lauren, the owner of Lighthaven Photography. My business is named after my grandparents - I’d love to tell you the detailed story behind it one day! I’m an experienced wedding photographer offering soft, timeless & vibrant images that joyfully captures the essence of your whole day! I offer a variety of sessions such as surprise proposals, engagements, and anniversaries. Outside of wedding, I am a portrait photographer who can grow with you and capture your memories / milestones for years to come! I can’t wait to become your friend, cheerleader through the wedding planning process, and be apart of your day!

“Lighthaven Photography was phenomenal to work with for our wedding. Lauren was very quick to respond when needed and had great communication throughout the planning process. Their work is captivating, stunning and clean/clear. My wedding was 100% outdoors with no indoor option, and when it rained on our big day, Lauren stayed calm and made the best out of the difficult circumstances. She captured beautiful pictures despite the challenging weather, and was soaked by the end of the night but still seemed unfazed. I cannot say enough great things about Lighthaven Photography and would highly recommend them to any couple looking for an exceptional photographer.”
