YOUR EXPERIENCE

SOMETIMES YOU JUST NEED TO LIE IN THE FLOWERS

YOUR DREAM WEDDING HAS LITTLE TO DO WITH TRADITION AND EVERYTHING TO DO WITH YOUR VERSION OF LOVE, ROMANCE & CONNECTION

Deep down you feel like your wedding can be so more than all of the stuff - the checklists, demands and stress. You know it’s possible to plan a day grounded in your values and joy. Nature is a must. Romance is a given. The dreams in your heart are non-negotiable. This day is not performative. It is a life-affirming experience full of core memories.

But you’ve never planned a wedding before and the idea of making your dreams come true feels overwhelming! You’ve got decision-fatigue and you haven’t even started, right?

IF THERE’S ONE THING YOU DESERVE AT THIS BEAUTIFUL MOMENT, IT’S SUPPORT!
THAT’S WHERE I COME IN…

WELCOME TO
CLEMENCIA STORIES TOLD

Hi! I’m Tricia, your Vermont wedding photographer specializing in editorial & documentary storytelling. While you’re dreaming about your wedding, I’m dreaming up creative ideas to inspire your celebration! With nearly 10 years experience capturing weddings and over 20 years of storytelling experience in live theatre, I utilize this deep well of creativity to aid your wedding planning, bring your visions to life, and tell your story with an expert eye for honesty and beauty.

When I’m not capturing your wedding, you may find me singing my heart out in operas and musicals, or behind the scenes designing graphics and set pieces. At home, I’ll either be chasing after my wild daughters and amazing pup Lucy, growing gorgeous flowers in the garden, or making nature-inspired art. When I need to destress, 90s alternative rock is blaring, or VPR Classical for music that soothes my soul. At night, I curl up with a good book and minutes later it’s flat on my face while I snooze. Life is a wild ride!

This may seem a bit morbid, but this is one of my most favorite quotes / by Margaret Atwood…

In the end, we all become stories.

Our physical presence on earth may be impermanent, but our lives become the stories our family, friends and children pass down. If you complement these stories with photos, your photos will last for generations to come. Proof of your humanity. Proof of your love. Proof of your impact. Isn’t that beautiful?

My purpose in life is to make memories of your stories one gorgeous photo at a time. Tell your beautiful story.

Family, nature, art, resistance, travel…

After photographing weddings for nearly a decade, I have guided and photographed a wide spectrum of celebrations. Most of my couples have been together for awhile. They are deeply comfortable with each other, but are not particularly comfortable with being the center of attention or planning an event that caters to overwhelming expectations.

I have seen stress and exhaustion in the early planning stages, and have helped alleviate these feelings of overwhelm by guiding my couples back to themselves.

  • What is most important to you? Is it the setting, sentimental touches, the words you write in your vow books, the beauty you are surrounded by, your people?

  • How do you want to feel on your wedding day? Smitten with romance, calm and relaxed, adventurous, raucous?

  • What brings you lots of joy and comfort in life?

  • When you think of romance, what do you imagine? Is your inspiration from a dream, your life experience, a book, a movie, poetry, music, nature?

  • How do you want to be loved on your wedding day?

YOUR WEDDING STORY NEEDS CARE. YOU NEED CARE.
THIS IS MY SUPER POWER…

Most of my couples opt to make each other and their expression of love the most important part of the day. This is the perfect solution to the intense pressures of planning a wedding.

Just imagine…

You choose a gorgeous place in nature to immerse themselves in and declare their love. The late day sun surrounds you in gold, while grasses and wild flowers sway gently in the breeze. You take time to breathe deeply and be present. Every moment is captured. I guide you through poses that inspire their gorgeous affection and love. Sometimes you dance, sometimes you run, sometimes you lie in the grasses, sometimes you just hold one another. The night continues with a delicious farm to table meal surrounded by your favorite people and animals, and ends with laughter, storytelling, and dancing under starlight by the fire pit. Everyone is relaxed, everyone is joyful, everyone feels fulfilled by this experience. It’s simply beautiful.

TESTIMONIALS FROM MY BELOVED COUPLES

  • COMPASSIONATE

    “Tricia came into our wedding journey at the very end (about 2 weeks before our big day) due to some unforeseen circumstances and it was the best thing that happened to us! From the moment we first spoke with Tricia she was so open, compassionate and instantly made us comfortable. My wife and I are not people who enjoy being the center of attention or having our picture taken, but Tricia made everything feel so natural, safe and fun. Her eye for detail and lighting is out of this world!! She had amazing shot ideas, and also listened to what we wanted and any ideas we had and made them come to life!! If you’re looking for breathtaking, ethereal, and romantic photos, Tricia is your girl! She was kind, compassionate, funny and enthusiastic from start to finish and we could not recommend her enough.”
    Charlie & Taylor

    “Tricia has the most beautiful, genuine, & calming personality. Not only did she calm my nerves on the day of my wedding, but she put me at ease during the entire wedding planning process. I was so grateful she was able to keep my wedding party focused during our group pictures after the ceremony. I was worried we weren’t going to have enough time to do portraits but she was patient, calm, and pulled through. The photos Tricia captured were truly breathtaking - each and every photo has a story to tell. I truly can’t recommend her enough.”

We had several Zoom calls in advance, and she compiled a spreadsheet documenting all of the photos requested to ensure our wedding day ran smoothly. We wanted a photographer who could capture intimate moments and also reflect that in the editing process. Tricia exceeded our expectations!”

Frequently Asked Questions

  • My work is rooted in fine art documentary storytelling.

    I photograph weddings as they naturally unfold, paying close attention to emotion, light, movement, and the in-between moments that often become the most meaningful memories.

    The result is imagery that feels romantic, timeless, soulful and deeply personal. Photographs that look gorgeous, yes — but more importantly, feel like you.

  • Almost every couple tells me this at first.

    You don’t need to know how to pose or perform. It’s my job to create an environment where you can relax into yourselves. I’ll guide you with posing prompts, natural movement, and simple direction so nothing ever feels forced. You can count on my joyful, humorous and relaxed demeanor to create a safe and relaxed space for you to be yourselves.

    Very quickly, most couples forget the camera is there — and that’s when the real magic happens.

  • Yes! I offer standalone engagement sessions or you can add it to a wedding package.

  • Both.

    I document the day honestly as it unfolds, while also offering guidance during portraits or whenever support brings comfort. Think of it less as posing and more as gentle shaping — creating space for authentic moments to happen beautifully.

    You will never be left wondering what to do, and you will never feel overly managed.

  • Absolutely — and I encourage it.

    Highlights are lovely, but full galleries tell the true story of a wedding day: different lighting situations, family dynamics, quiet pauses, wild dance floors, and everything in between.

    View my full galleries here so you can see the consistency and care I take to tell your story from beginning to end.

  • Please see all wedding package details here. Each package includes thoughtful coverage of your wedding day, hand-edited high-resolution images, and an online gallery for downloading, printing, and sharing.

    Payment plans are offered and typically used. I generally space payments out in 25% increments over 4 months. The first payment is your deposit to book your wedding date.

  • Yes, absolutely! I am more than happy to help guide you through the process of planning your wedding.

If you have a planner, I am more than happy to collaborate on your perfect day!
