Dunedin Wedding & Portrait photographer

Hey, i’m Tori

I am all about capturing the real, unscripted moments—the big emotions, the little details, and everything in between.

When I’m not behind the camera, I’m soaking up baby cuddles, planning my next adventure or always seeking new ways to stay inspired.

  • Chloe & Calvin

    Having Tori as our wedding photographer was a dream come true! She's so calm, organised, and gentle - which are exactly what you need on such a chaotic day. She kept us on track and made sure we got all the shots we wanted. She went above and beyond to capture our special day and all the things that we wanted our wedding to represent. I'd recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding and engagement shoot photographer. Thank you Tori!

  • Namita & Adarsh

    We had the absolute best experience with @toribainphotography for our couple shoot! From the moment we started, Tori made us feel so comfortable and relaxed, it never felt forced or awkward. She has such a natural way of capturing moments that we honestly forgot we were being photographed. The photos turned out beautifully, especially the candid shots, which were so meaningful and real. It was the most enjoyable and effortless shoot we've ever done. Can’t recommend her enough!

  • Josh & Brennen

    We are absolutely blown away by Tori’s incredible work! Communication, accomodation were great from the get go! We had the engagement and wedding day package and it was worth every penny! She’s got such an eye for detail and she’s such a sweet and funny person! We really enjoyed having her sister join us to on our wedding day , helping out with all behind the scenes!

    10/10 on all fronts - will definitely be recommending to whanau and friends! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    Thank you Tori for making us feel so comfortable during this photoshoot. I know my husband dreaded the photoshoot cause he hates anything formal but you made us both feel relaxed throughout. Best communication & you were super flexible with last minute changes. Appreciate you

    Talofa Tori,

    Our photos are beautiful, you captured moments for us to keep and remember, especially for all our little families and parents. Kiaan has memories to look back too as he gets older from his 1st birthday gift. You and your husband are both professional, genuinely lovely, great fun, and made it easy-going for us all to relax. Everything as I requested you captured. We all shared tears over the photos once again. The work you have done is AWESOME.

    Tori was amazing to work with from the start to finish. Super professional, super chill and went with what ever mood everyone was feeling on the day. She made my Bridal party feel comfortable even though the majority of us weren’t photogenic people, we all felt comfortable with her.

    My photos turned out AMAZING!

    Thank you Tori for capturing our special day.
