It was a memorable day at the Allegretto Vineyard Resort when Will and Pelin tied the knot. I had the pleasure of photographing their wedding, capturing moments and emotions from start to finish. The venue itself provided such a gorgeous backdrop for the entire event, with its vast spaces and serene vineyard setting!
Early in the morning, preparations were in full swing. Pelin and her bridesmaids were getting ready in one of the resort’s suites. There was a sense of anticipation in the room, as everyone knew that it was going to be such a significant day. As Pelin finished her preparations, the moment for her first look with her bridesmaids arrived! It was such a sweet moment and I loved every second of it.
Will, on the other hand, was calm and collected, spending the morning with his groomsmen! Will and Pelin decided to have a first touch. They stood on opposite sides of walls, reaching out to each other without seeing one another.
As guests began to arrive, the outdoor venue started to come to life. Chairs were set up in perfect rows, facing an archway with white floral arrangements. Soft music played in the background, adding to an atmosphere that was both relaxed and full of anticipation.
The ceremony started as Pelin made her entrance. Walking down the aisle, she looked incredible. Will stood at the altar and was flooded with so many emotions. It was the sweetest thing.
After the ceremony, there was a brief interlude where guests mingled. This allowed me to sneak away Pelin and Will for some much needed golden hour photos!
The reception took place on the same grounds, with tables set around the venue’s outdoor space. The night flowed super smoothly, transitioning from one meaningful activity to the next, each one a chance to catch another authentic moment.
As the evening wore on, the dance floor became the focal point. Music played, and people from various parts of Will and Pelin’s lives came together, dancing and celebrating. It was an epic scene, one that contrasted beautifully with the earlier serene moments Photographing this wedding was a fulfilling experience! It was not just a celebration of their union but also a reflection of the relationships and bonds that have shaped their journey. I feel so lucky to have been a part of their day.

“Leading up to the photoshoot, I was pretty nervous and was afraid I’d feel uncomfortable in front of the camera. Not once during the entire shoot did I even notice a camera was there! Tori did such a wonderful job making us feel so comfortable and relaxed. I had such a fun time and truly enjoyed capturing these moments. 100% would recommend Tori to all my friends and family. I’ll enjoy having all these beautiful photos forever.”
