VENDOR SPOTLIGHT:

TOKI THE GREAT!

Oh family…

The gods of good tidings, love, & all things beautiful have smiled upon us! I randomly ran into Toki’s work a few months back while searching for a wedding photographer. I instantly found her images to be emotional, timeless, and definitely captivating, so I was excited to see if she’d lend her talents to our big day. When I contacted her though, I had no idea that she’s also an incredibly giving artist, a passionate eco-friendly purveyor/designer/cook/gardener, AND (drumroll please) she’s VEGAN!  (Can you believe it!?) Toki lives on a small farm in Oregon, travels WORLDWIDE to shoot events and of course, is a true find in this age of consciousness-free consumerism & “imitation art” – in the name of profit, soo often found within the wedding industry.

We were already “over the moon” to have her on board. However “VeganGroom” just got off the phone with her & learned that Toki has a host of above and beyond ideas that are going to add so much dimension & unexpected joy to our occasion! We can’t wait to share our own wedding photos with you as taken by the goddess Toki, :) but for now, feast on these beauties:

  5. Angelique, yes, she shoots digitally so I believe you can go either way w/each print. If you check out her website by following the links on any of the photos or going to http://www.tokisphotos.com you can see more of her work. I’m so lucky to have found her!! :)

    Molly, I agree!!

    Jennifer, I think I like that one the best too, & the 3rd one w/the bride looking off to the side. I’ll probably post more soon as well.

    Melissa that is so so sweet. Thank you!! Post them I will. :)

    So you don’t know me but my friend Rose posted a link to your blog because she is in love with your dessert bar idea but I am contacting you because I have fallen head over heels in love with Toki’s photos. They are gorgeous and breathtaking to say the least and I want to scoop her up asap as my photographer. But I have tried your link and googling her and clicking on the photos and alas I cannot get to her. Do you have any other way to contact her? My email is Pinecrestluv@yahoo.com

    Thank you and congratulations.

  8. Oh Stephanie!! Thanks so much for reaching out!! I actually wrote this before WORKING WITH Toki the day of…well here’s an update…she was ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC to work with!! She was FILLED w/so many ideas…she put us completely at ease (we had so much going on we were completely frazzled). I CAN’Y WAIT to see the photo book & thank you cards she’s putting together for us…I saw a mini sample book & it was THE NICEST of its kind I’ve seen. She was SUCH a joy to work with…if you want someone who will not only take beautiful pictures on your wedding day, but will help you to FELL beautiful, relaxed, sexy & at ease, you must call her at once!! Here’s a link I JUST clicked on from her site. It’s GOT to work!!!
