Tori Mouradian of A Lively Soul Captured in Serene Cannon Beach Portrait

hey there, i'm tori

your new third wheel, hype woman, 
always down for an adventure, photographer extraordinaire

My story began in the valleys of Los Angeles, but after many years of sunny skies & palm trees I realized I wanted a change. My heart longed for a place I had never been, until I visited late 2019.

That was the trip that changed everything for me. Ever since then, my husband & I would visit once or twice a year until late 2022, where we finally decided to pack up everything in our humble California apartment & lay down roots in the gorgeous pacific northwest.

LET'S BE FRIENDS :)

GET TO KNOW ME

  • My love of documentation came when I was young. For me, picking up a camera came easy because of the curiosity behind it, & what started as a curiosity quickly became a passion. I loved to create. Being able to take part in something you're going to look back on for decades to come is truly an honor for me. I want you to feel all the feels & cry all the happy tears when you look back at your sweet memories. Nothing inspires me more than wanting to give that to others. So if you're interested or even just looking around, please don't hesitate to reach out so we can create some timeless memories together.

  • More than anything I want that day to be one you look back on fondly and if I can make that process as smooth as possible, I absolutely will. Authenticity is so important in storytelling, so I never approach two couples the same. Every couple is unique and deserves to have their story told as genuinely as possible. I've heard so many stories of brides saying that their day wasn't what they wanted it to be because they listened so much to everyone else, hired vendors who only wanted a cheque, and weren't able to truly connect with the people who they hired to help them with their wedding vision. My job is to make sure those seemingly "little" things don't slip through the cracks. I tell my couples all the time, "It's going to go by fast! So take a deep breath, relish in these little moments with your person, and I'll help with the rest."

  • One of my biggest loves is spending time outdoors. As a child I can’t remember a day where I & my siblings wouldn’t be outside, sometimes even past sundown because there was just too much fun to be had. I truly believe that transferred over into my adult life. On occasion, you can catch me hiking, heading up the mountains for a quick getaway lunch, enjoying the stunning Oregon coast, or even just soaking up the sun on my balcony. But above all, my favorite thing is being surrounded by my people, in the most beautiful of places.
