Hi, I’m Tonya
Phelps —

Photographer, wife, mother, & your new bff


With over a decade of wedding photography experience and capturing 200+ weddings, I specialize in photojournalism that serves couples by telling their unique and personal story through images that withstand time. Let’s work together to turn your special moments into timeless works of art.

we could’ve made when it came to choosing a photographer for our special day. She was so easy to work with and truly made both our engagement photo session and wedding day so much fun. We are in LOVE with all of the photos she took and are so grateful to have our day captured so beautifully by Tonya. She made everything so easy, enjoyable, and even more special!”

By far the best photographer and person we’ve ever worked with! Amazing communication and works so well with everything and brings beautiful photos to life! 10/10 would recommend and will use for future photos! Would give a million stars if I could!
