THE ONES BEHIND THE CAMERA
my story
Hi everyone! My name is Tohar Orr-Grimes. My name is Hebrew and means pure fierce light! I moved to the US at the age of 13, to Portland Oregon. I met my husband Jackson my senior year of high school and together we moved to CO during the pandemic.
When I started college I wanted to be a nurse midwife but changed my major a few times before settling with Elementary Education. I graduated in May 2024 with my teaching certificate, and while I LOVE working with children, the system simply isn’t for me. I have many ambitions in life that include sovereign birth work, holistic massage therapy, maybe even opening my own school. I am also a birth doula and passionate about sovereign and physiological birth, and I recently started doing birth photography as well.
I’ve always loved photography and experimented with it even as a child but never imagined I would one day make it into a career- and oh how happy I am that I did!
I love this job because I get to witness these beautiful moments in life, meet incredible people, see new places and spend so much time outdoors!
facts about me
Favorite music: I love Tyler Childers, Gregory Alan Isakov, and 70s pop rock.
Favorite shows: Gilmore Girls always plays on repeat in my house, but I also enjoy New Girl, How I met Your Mother, and my recent obsession is Bridgerton!
Favorite movies: I love Mama Mia (I like the second more than the first- unpopular opinion), Pitch Perfect, and I have been a fan of Twilight since I was 9 (I even had a fan account on Instagram a long time ago- very embarrassing)
Hobbies: besides photographing people and editing I have many other things I enjoy! I love cooking and baking, crochet playing music and singing, swimming in natural waters, playing board games, and gardening.
Some more random facts: My first language is Hebrew, meaning I think and dream in both English and Hebrew. I am a proud pants hater (though I will occasionally wear them if super comfy) but I much prefer skirts and dresses. I love natural medicine and live a very holistic life style. I have an herb and vegetable garden and my plants are my babies. I want to one day grow all my own food and raise some cows, chickens and sheep!
the videographer
Jackson began his journey in Colorado as a film major but quickly discovered his true passion for fashion design. He’s now focusing on sustainable fashion practices and design while also pursuing his EMT certification with plans to explore firefighting. Fun fact: Jackson gifted me the first camera I ever used, sparking the beginning of my photography career.
His film background naturally led him into wedding videography, and we now get to share our love for storytelling together. Working side by side allows us to travel, meet amazing couples, and capture the beauty of love in every unique celebration.

​
Favorite music: MF Doom, Tyler the Creator, and Led Zeppelin

Hobbies: Sewing, video games, working out, cooking, and basketball
