Tonya made it feel like she was just another friend at the wedding instead of an awkward professional taking our pictures.

Because of this, we were able to fully enjoy and embrace each moment. Tonya was on time, friendly, and made our wedding party and us feel comfortable and actually enjoy taking the photos! I felt like she got a great mix of candid photos and posed photos based on our needs. She was timely and made us feel like she cared about us and our photos.

Tonya is the absolute best photographer to work with. She made the whole wedding process seamless & is so much fun to work with!

She does a great job at making the experience feel natural & easy - and the outcome is just gorgeous. We couldn't be more happy with the photos we received!

We hired Tonya for both our engagement and wedding photos, and we were AMAZED by her work!

She is such an easy-going, genuine person that makes you feel so comfortable while having photos taken. Her assistant on our day was just as amazing and they both felt like an extension of our own family and friends. I couldn't recommend Tonya enough!

She was prompt to respond to emails, had a very easy going attitude with an eye for detail and made my fiancé and I comfortable during our engagement session!

Tonya captured the love that we have for one another, as well as the love that we were surrounded with on our special day. We weren't expecting to get our wedding photos back so quickly, but when my husband and I got back from our honeymoon and they were waiting in our inbox I danced with joy! If you're looking for a photographer with a relaxed attitude but can get the exact shots you want look no further!!

If you are looking for a engagement/wedding photographer that will capture you and your partner's love organically while also making you feel and look amazing on camera-look no further!

We worked with Tonya for our engagement photos and she was very welcoming and patient with us as we learned to be comfortable in front of the camera. Leading up to our wedding, she was flexible with the adjustments we had to make due to Covid and very responsive to email and text. She was stellar on our wedding day and went above and beyond to make our day amazing.

“Tonya was the best of the best! She did her job so flawlessly that looking back at the pictures, we would exclaim ‘wow I didn’t even notice her taking that, how did she capture that moment so perfectly!?’”
