About this vendor
Capture Your Wedding With Nest & Love Photography
I'm Tonya, based in Depoe Bay, OR, and I'm your go‑to local expert for weddings anywhere along the Central Oregon Coast, from Pacific City down to Waldport. Book me for your coastal "I do," and there are zero travel fees. This is my backyard, creative playground, and the place where I know every moody cliff and tucked‑away cove.
What to Expect at Nest & Love Photography
I bring experience, professionalism, and a calm, confident presence, but I'm also the photographer who hypes you up, cracks jokes, and keeps things fun. I offer wedding boudoir (individual or couples) as an add‑on, and yes, I'm one of the few photographers on the Central Oregon Coast who actually does this. If you want something spicy and fun, in a safe, judgment-free environment, I've got you. Aside from boudoir, I shoot proposals, engagements, trash‑the‑dress sessions, and weddings of every size… though I'll be honest, the small, intimate, "we're doing this our way" weddings are my absolute favorites. My ideal couples are the ones who ditch the rulebook, embrace the chaos, laugh loudly, love hard, and aren't afraid to get a little messy for a good photo-op.
About Tonya
When I'm not photographing love stories, I'm usually gaming (Halo, anyone?), tending to my ever-growing plant collection, or exploring the Oregon Coast with my pups. I'm proudly LGBTQ+ friendly, inclusive, and committed to making every couple feel safe, celebrated, and completely themselves. If you want photos that feel wild, intimate, moody, and a little bit dramatic, with a photographer who's equal parts pro and playful, I'm your girl.

d we were running super behind. She jumped right in and helped in any and every way she could, taking on many duties that don’t typically fall under a photographers role. She had a plan for what to do about the timing issues, I didn’t have to think or stress about it and she made me feel at ease that we would still have time to get great photos, and we sure did! I love that the photos came digitally, with a quick turn around and easy access. Her personality is great, extremely easy to get along with, she made taking photos super easy. I can’t say enough good things about her and ended up feeling truly thankful to have her at my wedding. I will definitely be hiring her for any future photography needs that I have. She’s amazing!!

Working with Tanya from Nest & Love for our wedding was amazing!
She is so talented, approachable, and an absolute pleasure to work with. She took...
the time to learn about my husband and I as a couple and really carried our personalities throughout her photos. Tanya did our engagement shoot, a bridal boudoir session, and our wedding for us. She was easy to talk to and really took the awkwardness out of having your picture taking by making us so comfortable. She was easy to contact, and always responded in a timely manner. Her processing and editing was prompt, and we had our photos available in an easy to access format in no time. And goodness! The photos came out so BEAUTIFUL! All three shoots had people asking me for her contact information when I shared them. We couldn't be happier with how they turned out!!
We recommend Tanya, and Nest & Love Photography very highly!
Those are 5 stars earned!
