Tonya has been apart of capturing my family and our memories for 5 years or so now. There is something to say about continuously going back to her and her work! She truly captures ...
all things important and beautiful. Her photos are natural, raw, and bring out so much emotion. Her sneak peaks from my wedding day gave us goosebumps and they are the photos that you just stare at day after day because you are in awe. She is also more than just a photographer but an honest, real, and family-oriented human which people tend to forget is important. We will always recommend her and the dedication she puts into her work and into our family! We love you Tonya!!
I cannot express enough. Tonya is incredible! She was so flexible with our day. We had some last minute details changed and she was just so go with the flow. The photos were so dre...
amy and exactly what I had envisioned. Leading up to our wedding, she was always available! She was so fast to respond to our text messages. Few days leading up to our wedding, I had an urgent question and she was put aside a few minutes to call me. She is so intentional. Tonya has so much joy, and she truly encouraged us and made our wedding day feel so special! Tonya did not disappoint, photos were very important to me for that day. She was intentional in hearing out my photo visions and I felt so heard! She went above and beyond for us! I would highly recommend her to anyone.
Would give 6 stars if I could - Tonya is truly incredible. Not only did we love her for her attention to detail, willingness to go above and beyond at our engagement shoot & weddin...
g, how she made us feel comfortable, her efficiency (we got to enjoy our wedding and not spend hours taking pictures, but still have every shot we want!) - but our family and friends even commented on how lovely she was! Talent, kindness, thorough, communicative, collaborative with us and our vendors - I cannot recommend Tonya enough! She impressed me from the start when I met with her for our consultation and she had a presentation of the packages, recommendations, and even a sample timeline. Thank you Tonya <3
Hiring Tonya to capture our wedding one was on of the best decisions we made for wedding vendors. She was responsive and easy to work with from the get go. We met her in person for...
the first time on the day of our wedding and she immediately made us feel comfortable. She seamlessly fit into our day and we were blown away by her timeliness in getting us previews and our full album of photos!! I could not recommend Tonya enough!! We were SO obsessed with our photos and thankful we hired her to capture our day!!
Tonya. Is. Family. Plain and simple.
From the moment we started doing our wedding project with Tonya via our engagement pictures she IMMEDIATELY made us feel completely at ease (my...
husband and I were like we don’t even know what to do with our hands!!). She communicated everything super well and her picture style I would describe as more “timeless,” which was exactly what we wanted! She stayed late for us at our wedding. She got ALL the pics we had on our desired list. Overall, I would just describe her as a person as someone who feels like family and just makes everything simple and easy! I would highly recommend her for any photography project you have!!
Tonya was the best decision 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 sess...

My husband and I could not be more happy that Tonya was our wedding photographer! We absolutely love how our engagement and wedding photos turned out! Tonya is such a genuine perso...
n and was so fun to work with. She made all those awkward feelings of having a camera pointed at you disappear! When my dress became dirty from the rainy weather on our wedding day, she helped me scrub out the mud stains before the ceremony. The day after our wedding she gave us 6 sneak peak photos to tie us over until we received the rest. It only took about three and a half weeks to receive the rest of our wedding photos and let me tell you they were STUNNING! We are so beyond grateful that we have these gorgeous, amazing engagement and wedding photos to look back on for all the years to come!
We are so glad to have had Tonya as our photographer! She was SO easy to get along with and meshed so well with our wedding party and guests. We received our BEAUTIFUL wedding phot...

10/10! 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. She was courteous to family and staff and even helped bustle my dress with my bridesmaids during the cocktail hour when we had no idea what we were doing. The morning after our wedding, she sent us 10 sneak peak photos from our wedding day and our first look.
BONUS: She is also a jewelry designer and makes beautiful custom earrings that my bridesmaids wore for the wedding. Her company is "Love, Loon Creative".
We love Tonya! 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 comfortab...
le 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!
Tonya is amazing!! She took our engagement pictures in October of 2019, she suggested a beautiful location and we got the pictures back super quickly. We had decided to postpone ou...
r bigger wedding reception to 2021 due to Covid but we wanted to still get married with close friends and family on our original date. Tonya was super accommodating and traveled up to the North Shore to capture our day. The photos are absolutely beautiful and once again she got the pictures back to us super quickly! We can’t wait to work with her again in April and I would definitely recommend her to anyone getting married.
Tonya is so sweet and is incredibly fun to work with! She is so professional and her photos are absolutely beautiful!
I learned about Tonya when she shot a friends wedding in 2018; they are actually friends from college. I instantly knew I wanted to work with her one day. My hubby and I aren’t big...
on having our photos taken, so we were nervous and feeling awkward, but Tonya does a wonderful job of providing direction and making everything so easy and natural. She probably thought we were nuts after we first met, but after our engagement session, my hubby and I knew we made the right choice in her. Tonya crushed our engagement photos, quarantine elopement, and then our postponed wedding day. We got our wedding photos back in 3 weeks! Tonya does gorgeous work, and we'll continue booking her for future family photos!
Tonya is incredibly talented! She pushed through the rain to capture the most amazing pictures on our wedding day and even had them back to us in about one week. She is the best!
If I could give this woman a million stars, I would. Tonya is professional, authentic, hilarious, and kind. Tonya is someone who sees the "why" behind the photos, and is invested i...
n telling your story. She is willing to traipse through the woods, climb some stony shores, and make you laugh, all while focusing on why you're there. My engagement photos and wedding photos are some of my most prized possessions. She captured US, not just some cool pictures for instagram. (But she also legit got me some cool pictures for my instagram--I look v. pretty.) She also is someone who is understanding and kind when it comes to complicated family relationships. My family is undeniably complicated, and she expertly handled the family photos with grace and professionalism. If you've got a wedding coming up, LOOK HER UP. Especially if you are an outdoorsy couple with an appreciation for the great outdoors. I can't recommend this woman strongly enough.
Tonya is an absolutely amazing photographer! She was prompt to respond to emails, had a very easy going attitude with an eye for detail. She made my fiancé and I comfortable during...
our engagement sessions but have to say that we may love our wedding photos more! 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!! Thank you so much for your amazing work Tonya!!
Tonya is absolutely amazing to work with and I would highly recommend her to everyone I know!!! She is so sweet and down to earth and we are so happy she was a part of our wedding ...
day! We got all of our wedding photos back very quickly and the photos were STUNNING!!! She truly captured our wedding day perfectly!! Tonya is a phenomenal wedding/engagement photographer!!
I first met Tonya when she agreed to take photos for my husband and I's restaurant reception in March 2018: right off the bat, she was easy to get along with, super friendly, and v...
ery communicative. Our pictures from the event were amazing; she definitely captured all the big moments, and we loved the posed photos she got of us plus the candids of our guests. She delivered our collection very quickly, plus gave us some awesome sneak peeks a few days after the night.
Since we were so happy with Tonya's work the first time around, we were thrilled that she was able to shoot our January 2019 wedding ceremony in New Zealand! Again, all the logistics were easy; Tonya was very helpful suggesting schedule for the day-of. She has a great eye for on-location shots, and our pictures really show off the beautiful venue. The little details of our wedding were captured, too: from the flowers to the guest book, everything is there. Our photos were ready in lightning speed, and everyone we've showed them to has absolutely loved them (including us, of course!)
We really couldn't be happier with our experience working with Tonya, and I'd enthusiastically recommend her to anyone searching for a photographer.
Tonya right away is like a friend you have known forever. She is very easy to get along with and friendly. The whole wedding party had a great time with her taking photos.
She ...
does such an amazing job on photos and I loved her creativity. She got our wedding photos back to us VERY quickly and there are so many gorgeous photos I don't know how I am going to pick which ones to print. Would highly recommend!
Such a wonderful photographer to work with!! Her easy-going nature kept everyone relaxed throughout the whole day which helped keep natural smiles in all of our pictures. She's al...

Tonya is amazing. She is so sweet and was willing to accommodate to our every need/request. We had a minor set back during our reception and she didn't hesitate at all to work arou...
nd the situation for us which was a huge weight off our shoulders at the time! I've received so many compliments on our photos, she really did a great job and made us feel comfortable. We are very happy with Tonyas work, I have been sure to recommend her to other bride-to-bes!
