Tora Archuleta




With clear communication, a warm presence, and a detail-oriented eye, I bring ease and artistry to every love story I photograph. My couples often tell me I felt like a friend they could fully trust — someone who understood their vision and captured it with heart.
I combine organized professionalism with creative direction to ensure every part of your experience feels seamless, joyful, and true to you. From vibrant, natural colors to moments filled with laughter and calm, your photos will reflect the day exactly as it unfolded — beautifully and authentically.
The experience matters as much as the photos — let’s make it memorable.

Why Couples Trust Me With Their Most Meaningful Moments

Whether it’s reading a book while catching my cardio, challenging my weighted squats, or relaxing in a sauna to recover. The gym is one of my favorite spots to be.

Hanging out with my Husband

You can catch us playing pickleball in the afternoon, mingling with family throughout our week, or enjoying our cozy apartment in the evening watching movies together.

I love the comfort of an entreprenuer filled coffee shop, shelves filled with bakery treats, and time away from distractions to focus on editing your photos!

A Few of My Favorite Things

the Face Behind the Magic

- Current obsession: Lavender matcha (and collecting vintage cameras - I'm up to 30+ inherited from my grandpa!)

- Editing soundtrack: R&B vibes - Chris Brown, Ella Mai, and Jazmine Sullivan keep the creative flow going

- Post-shoot tradition: In-N-Out burger & gas station Dr. Pepper with coconut cream. 

- Perfect Saturday: Farmers markets with my husband, quality time with the family & maybe sneaking in a pastry at a local café

- Golden hour energy: I'm an early bird who lives for that magic light

"Tora is amazing!! Her style of shooting makes your photos come to life as they seem so bright and vibrant. She is also very good at taking charge of large groups for wedding and providing direction. She also helped me so much on my wedding day in providing me with direction while taking pictures in getting different angles. She is so easy to work with and wants to make your ideas come to life! She reduced so much of my stress on my wedding day. Having a photographer that knows what they’re doing is worth EVERY PENNY!"

"Tora is so easy to work with. Her communication through the whole process was exceptional and she is very organized in her photography business. We will use her over and over again for all our photo needs. She takes beautiful photos that capture some of the happiest moments. I often find myself looking through all of the photos she took and am so grateful we chose her.

I HIGHLY recommend her!

"Thank you Tora so much for your time during our session! As we left my mom kept reiterating how she felt like it was meant to be that we met you. She loved your energy because you were so calm and genuinely kind. So, thank you for making her feel special. We appreciate you"

Abby & Issac

"I loved working with Tora! She was super easy to communicate and schedule with, which was a relief amidst the chaos of wedding planning. She was fun, cheerful and brought the energy we needed on our wedding day, too! She always made us feel comfortable during our shoots and juggled all the needs of our families! 1000% would recommend."
