Jessica Tonya Photography

t only held continued communication leading up to the wedding, she kept us in the loop during & after as well as throughout her editing process. On our wedding day she went above & beyond to make sure everything was handled including my minor nervous breakdown when we couldn’t find extra clothes for our youngest daughter 🤦🏼‍♀️ She handled our chaos like the true boss she is & let me tell you, it shows in our pictures. She captured everything we had asked exactly how we envisioned it and then some. Everyone that attended our wedding complimented her presence & talent anticipating our photos. To say no one was disappointed is an understatement. Everyone is obsessed with our photos including us. I keep saying I’m ready to wallpaper our house with them. Im ready to find more reasons to hire her again. 100/10 recommend Jess to capture any special moment you have. We hired a photographer & gained a friend ❤️

round! As someone who personally doesn't love taking a lot of photos, Jessica really made it feel comfortable and natural. We really couldn't have hoped for a better experience and we now have hundreds of beautiful pictures from our special day.

us with over 600 photos from the wedding which were so nicely edited as well as fun to look through. Many people complemented her on her work and how she really got into it. We are so happy with our photos and will most definitely be using her as our photographer in the future! Thank you so much for all the awesome work!

was amazing. I am so happy we chose her as our wedding photographer, her energy & vibe is unmatchable. You will not regret hiring her for your wedding day.

agined. She was professional, prompt and she’s honestly like a chameleon just blending in but still managing to get all the best shots. I would recommend her to anyone!! Top notch in my book!! ❤️

a new friend” after the initial meeting with Jess. On the wedding day, Mother Nature graced us with a rain that was falling sideways, which required us to change some of our planned pictures. Jess was on top of things and incredibly flexible and quick to respond to thoughts/suggestions on what pictures we would like for our first look shots. Her respect for the moment was not lost on us either when the tears flowed during our first look while Jess patiently, quietly and expertly moved around capturing the moment perfectly. I continually smiled after hearing the click of the camera because it was usually followed by a squeal of excitement from Jess looking at the screen on her camera. When her 2nd shooter, Adam, mentioned an idea, the excitement and subsequent “oooo good call!” from Jess just filled the room with even more positive energy. Day turned to night, and as the reception began, the skies cleared. Jess, being the opportunist, rounded up as many people as she could for outdoor shots under the twinkle lights. I knew she was feeling the moment when she dragged my wife and I over to a fire pit and positioned us on one side, and then laid down on the ground on the opposite side. After hearing multiple “oh heck yea this is gunna be awesome”, our excitement for the final product grew even more! It has now been 2-weeks since our wedding, and we still mention how much fun Jess was to have at our wedding. Not just as a professional photographer, but as a guest. She is personable, social, and constantly smiling/laughing! We are incredibly excited to see what the images look like once we receive them. On behalf of the new Mr & Mrs Fallon, I want to humbly thank Jess and Adam for adding another positive story to a wedding that will be remembered forever.

e her for boudoir photos as well as wedding photos. for both my engagement photos and wedding I was worried about the how the weather and poses would effect how they look and she put my mind at ease. all three photo shoots and she rocked them all and made me feel absolutely beautiful in every one! I highly recommend!

. When I saw Jess’s portfolio, I knew she was the one! She helped us create a custom Wedding package that included an engagement shoot and digital copies of our pictures. For our engagement photos, we wanted high-quality warm, fun, vibrant, and natural photos. All qualities that my partner and I share, and boy did Jess deliver! From the moment I hired her, she became our most trusted advisor, and best friend. From hour-long video chats to narrow down our vision, to calming my nerves when we had to change location last minute, she was there for me. At the engagement photo shoot, she set the tone as lighthearted, fun, and romantic, and boosted our confidence! We just had a blast! When we received our engagement photos back just one week later, she delivered them in an elegant, professional password-protected digital portfolio. The photos are beautiful! We are beyond pleased with how they came out, and the energy at the shoot came through in the infectious laughter and intimate moments Jess captured. UPDATE: For our Wedding, Jess had many video chats with us about what we wanted for our big day, and, together, we came up with a foolproof plan. Unfortunately, 3 days before the Wedding Disaster struck! Jess fell and broke her foot, and would not be able to shoot our wedding! Luckily for us, Jess is the ultimate wedding industry professional, and before she could even call me to tell me what happened, she already had a solution. She arranged for her long-time colleague Adam Franco to shoot the wedding, and even threw in an extra hour of photography to make up for the last-minute change. Jess had already been such a big support over the wedding planning journey, that I knew I could trust her judgement, and that Adam would be a great photographer. On the day of, he was on time, prepared with the shot-list I had compiled with Jess in hand, and he had a great manner with our bridal party and close family during formal portraits. The rest of the day, I barely noticed his presence as he flitted around and grabbed the most amazing shots of the wedding. This was absolutely the best day of our lives, and Adam felt like an old friend; we were totally comfortable with him. After the wedding, Jess took over by editing the photographs that Adam had captured. Fast forward to about 4 weeks later, and Jess mailed me a USB with a lovely note. In total, we received 791 crisp, clear, high resolution and beautifully edited Wedding Day photos. I cannot begin to express how happy we are with these photos. Some of my family members have suffered from life-threatening health issues in recent years, and to have high quality, formal and informal professional photos of them all, happy and healthy, is so meaningful. I plan on ordering prints of these photos from Jess as Christmas presents for my Family. Jess is simply the best there is. Her professionalism, her fun loving personality, her skills, and most importantly, her friendship set her head and shoulders above other photographers. I plan on working with her whenever I can. I look forward to our future maternity shoots and family Christmas cards for many years to come. Do yourself a favor and hire Jess as your Wedding Day Photographer. You won't regret it!

recommend her for absolutely anything you looking for pictures for.

he went above and beyond, and gave us packages based on our price point. She made the whole wedding party feel amazing. We could not have asked for a more attentive, kind, and funny photographer for our day. I cannot wait to see our photos, and to work with her again!

rk with for our wedding and make us both feel super comfortable while taking pictures on our big day. She was incredibly flexible with us as we were one of the weddings that had to be canceled and rescheduled due to Covid. She even left her vacation early so that she could shoot our wedding on the date that we rescheduled it for. She showed up early and I was so relieved when she got there due to having some pre-wedding jitters, and she’s so bubbly and funny and just instantly brightens a room when she walks in. Every single person at my wedding commented on how much they enjoyed her. Now to the pictures-those were so great! She did such a fantastic job capturing all of our special moments and the quality was outstanding. I can’t wait to make Christmas albums for our parents and surprise them with these amazing photos. We are so happy that we found Jess, and if you have the opportunity to work with her, take it! She was so easy to work with, accommodating, and in the end we received great photos that were everything we wanted!

and super efficient and most importantly my family loved her and they are STILL raving about her a month after our wedding. My husband and I cannot wait to hire her again! The pictures she sent were incredibly artistic and also capture all the love of the people at our wedding. She made our day!

hilarious bubbly happy cute self helped me get myself together. Beyond taking photos, Jessica helped me with so many tiny things that happened on my wedding day. I didn’t have a coordinator she was so valuable. Jessica was beyond a pleasure to be around and I am so happy she was there on my special day! Ps. You can tell she has a passion for photography and she gets suuuuper excited to show you how a photo came out when it looks amazing from her camera. She is so talented. 100/100 recommend!

s. She had a great eye and helped capture some truly gorgeous photos. I would highly recommend her to anyone! She is simply amazing.

will treasure these photos forever. I only wish that I had known about Jessica Tonya Photography when I booked my wedding photographer months ago. Unfortunately I cannot break contract with my current photographer- believe me I tried! Jessica is just the best, her natural talent is evident in her photos. She is wonderful to work with and her love for photography is conveyed through her enthusiasm and excitement while shooting. Jessica is creative, energetic and makes even the most shy of people (ME) feel comfortable in front of the camera. I cannot thank Jessica Tonya Photography enough, she will definitely be my photographer for all future events. Don't wait, book her right away as she books up fast!

and was fabulous when we changed both at the last minute. She was on point, friendly, and fit in with our group of close girl friends like just another one of the girls. She captured amazing shots and was a total blast to work with. We met at the Newport Vineyard and she took all the shots we requested, but had her own amazing ideas and personality that she brought to the shoot. If you need someone to capture your lifestyle and be a total blast to work with, Jess is the gal!

very single one of her clients happy! The minute I met Jess I knew she would be my lifelong photographer just from her personality alone ! If you’re looking for a detailed outgoing photographer Jessica is your girl!!! Once again thank you Jessica your the best

an of posing and the camera. We ended up changing our mind because we felt we needed the experience and exposure before the wedding. When we first met Jess it was like reuniting with an old friend and we knew immediately that she would make this experience as painless for my fiancé as possible. The day of the photo shoot we both were so nervous (I mean come on it’s awkward right!!?). Jess showed up and within two minutes of being with her we were both so calm. Our photos are unique to us, they capture our love, our relationship, and our personalities- something we didn’t have to tell her she just picked up on. In addition to the photos coming out better then I could have ever imagined we actually really enjoyed the experience of getting them done (even my fiancé!) We laughed the entire time so none of those cheesy smiles photos. When the shoot was done my fiancé and I talked the whole day about how awesome Jess was. I can’t believe we almost didn’t have an engagement shoot! I am so glad we ended up going through with it and that we chose Jess. Give Jess a call or set up a meeting or a consultation, I promise you you’ll know she’s the right choice within 5 minutes of talking to her.

xtremely responsive and we were able to view and select the pictures we liked quickly. Even though it was very windy, Jessica was still able to get some great shots!
