Short Bio: Happiness to me is being somewhere cool, surrounded by friends. I love to travel and experience new things. I am a very curious person. I love photographing life and real moments that matter. I have been photographing weddings for a little over 5 years, and I couldn't be happier. It is an honor to be able to do something that I am passionate about as a full time career. How did I get so blessed? I am engaged to the sweetest woman, and we’re planning our wedding, which will be in late October this year. I live in San Francisco, but travel all over for beautiful weddings. Yes, I would love to come to photograph your destination wedding in Greece. I am 25 years old, and in the last 6 years I have photographed over 100 weddings for awesome couples, traveled to 25 different countries, and picked up a college degree from SF State University in Visual Communication. Thank you for taking the time to check out my work!

A word from Torsten:
I got first camera in the summer of 2004 and have never let go of photography. I began taking pictures of pretty much every thing and just loved it. Soon after that I decided it was time to upgrade to a SLR. I was able to hone my skills a lot more with this awesome tool. Later I second shot a wedding with my friend and just got hooked. I took a B&W film class in college and now I am getting more into film. Film is such a great medium. The hands on process and getting into the chemicals is just great. I love capturing the pure emotions of people. Some of my favorite shoots are engagements and seniors.

Short Bio by photographer
My absolute favorite thing about photography is the ability to capture moments, emotions and the beauty of people. I have enjoyed photography since my first High School black and white film photography class. While I went a different direction in College, majoring in Chemistry, I was always drawn to photography. I am self taught, with the exception of a few beginning classes to break up my science classes. I enjoy every moment of the dream of becoming a photographer, I hold it dear to my heart and can not wait to see where it takes me

My Two Cents
I met Whitney because I took pictures at her wedding.
She then continued to spend a lot of time learning photography in the year since then.
He parents were very supportive, I saw when her father gave her his DSLR.
She spent a bunch of days this summer at my office learning about editing.
Now she stays very busy doing photography as full time business.
May I also mention her and her husband are good folk.

A Word From the Photographer:
You can read more about how I got into photography on a post I wrote here:
I keep very busy doing weddings and enjoy doing them a lot.
One of my big passions is in traveling and I'm lucky that weddings take me all over the country.
I take a lot of travel pictures but will need to wait until later down the road to find time to do much with them.
I feel very thankful that I am able to make a good living doing full time the thing I love to do.
I love that it means helping people and providing a valuable service.
I try to make my blog a great place to come and learn things about photography and see what I'm up to in my own photography.
Enjoy the pictures, you find lots more on the site. Check out the launch page with links to over 15 sites to see my work (and projects) and learn more about me.
