Louis Torres
Wedding photographer · Wedding officiant · Founder & editorial lead
Nearly 30 years shooting weddings — since 1996.
780+ ceremonies photographed and counting.
Wedding officiant — because sometimes the moment calls for it.
Experience
Louis has been immersed in weddings for nearly three decades. It started in 1996, when he photographed a friend's wedding with three Mamiya 645 Pro medium-format film cameras. He's photographed more than 780 weddings since — every kind of venue, season, and family — and stepped into the officiant role after watching one too many ceremonies save themselves at the last minute.
