About
Listen, we get it. You've been double tapping, DMing, and sharing all the kajillion photos from many incredible photographers, and it's EXHAUSTING. 'Storytelling' and 'natural light' are among the hot trending hashtags for photography, especially for weddings. At FTT, we are influenced by many of the great journalistic photographers out there who spend a great deal of time documenting real life as they see it--no matter if it's a riveting photo from deep within the Serengeti or a vulnerable shot from a grieving mother in Syria. A photograph can change the world globally, heal a broken heart, and renew mundane and routine lives. We here at FTT are committed to working with clients with a story to tell. It's uncomfortable enough to have a stranger stick a camera in your face, with people watching. Our creativity thrives when our vibes align with our clients. Because when the glitz and glam of any milestone fades, you pay vendors like us to help you get through the "in sickness, and in health...in joy and in sorrow" moments for years to come. As active members of local healthcare and education systems, we understand now more than most the heavy burdens of anxiety, loss, and sickness you may carry. Plans change, and significant curve balls get thrown, leaving us needing clarification. But here's the thing--you've gotten this far. Life is ours for the taking because tomorrow is not promised. And we're gonna be right by your side to proudly capture and celebrate with you safely and respectfully--no matter your guest size.

I had the pleasure of working with Toby as the planner for a recent wedding, and he was wonderful to collaborate with. Leading up to the event, he was easy to reach and great with communication, which made all of the pre-event coordination run smoothly. On the actual wedding day Toby arrived early and had a calm, laid-back presence that helped to put everyone at ease in front of the camera. He was professional yet personable, adapted easily to the vibe of the crowd, and offered thoughtful direction to capture people in the best light. Id highly recommend Toby to any couple looking for a talented and professional photographer!

Toby did a phenomenal job capturing our family photos during our beach vacation. He truly exceeded our expectations. Not only were the photos absolutely beautiful, but he also delivered them so quickly, within just a week! Toby has an incredible talent for capturing memories in such a natural and meaningful way. We are beyond grateful and will treasure these photos for years to come.
