    Professional Photography with artistic flair. Organized, reliable and composed businesswoman.

    Tonya is a skilled photographer with a good eye and technical ability. She is an exceptional businesswoman who conducts herself professionally with a friendly demeaner. Tonya put us at ease planning for the professional photography of our wedding ceremony and reception. She provided an accurate timeline which allowed for a stress-free experience during our most beautiful day. We felt comfortable and confident that Tonya would take care of us and provide exceptional photographs of our special day. Thank you for your wonderful service and we love all the photos. Yours, Michael and Edith.

    SIMPLY THE BEST - Just book her already! I promise you won’t regret it

    Tonya and Michael were incredible. Leading up to it we had calls where Tonya was so patient understanding our families and friends and the dynamics to make sure she got all of the shots that were really important to us. We had a welcome reception that night before and she generously agreed to be there for that even though that is a Saturday so it could be a big wedding day. On our wedding day she was on time, professional, recommended shots, was just so wonderful and the quality of her work in the end was TRULY AMAZING. I was blown away. I couldn’t have asked for a better photographer or better pictures. We are SO grateful. I was too orange from a spray tan and Tonya made the pictures less orange. If you’re considering her vs another photographer, I promise you, if you choose her you will be so glad you did!

    Rainy Day Pro!

    Tonya was a joy to work with throughout the entire process; from discussing ideas before the wedding, working through the rain, and editing all of the raindrops out of the final photos! She was an absolute professional from beginning to end and would recommend her to anyone looking for a smooth process and beautiful photos!

    Best Wedding Photographer Ever!

    My husband and I married July 2024 at JW Marriott Marco Island Resort. After research and recommendations, we reached out and secured Tonya. Tonya reviewed in detail our desires and wants for the wedding photography, along with providing excellent recommendations.
    Tonya knew the area, worked great with the wedding planner and our tight wedding schedule.
    Tonya captured everg special and stunning moment of our wedding with a classic/timeless touch. I’m beyond happy with all the photographs, especially the sunset pictures. Thank you so much. Very blessed to have you as our wedding photographer. We HIGHLY recommend Tonya for capturing your wedding or special event!

    Small Naples Wedding

    I would 100% recommend Tonya. We had a small wedding on a beach in Naples and she made the experience so special. Tonya is very detail oriented and thinks of everything before I have the chance to ask the question. She is timely, accommodating, clear on expectations and so great at her craft ❤️

    Incredible Photos and Experience!

    We had a wonderful experience with Tonya! From the first moment of contact, to the wedding day, to the delivery of the photos ... everything went as planned -- and then some! Our wedding was held outside near the beach and while we had a beautiful, sunny day, the wind presented a challenge. Tonya handled the situation with wonderful professionalism. She knew just what to do -- catching issues before they arose, weighing down my dress with small weights (which were expertly "removed" from the photos), etc. She took all the required shots we requested (various family members and groupings) and captured key moments. Tonya also was attentive to the light, shadows and various backgrounds. I appreciated the way Tonya asked specific questions about the style/type of photos we preferred and how she prepared us with specific requests for still photos (shoes, invitation, etc.). All-in-all, we were very pleased with our photos of an incredible day. She captured not only beautiful moments -- but the love and heart of our wedding! You can't go wrong with Tonya Malay Photography! Thank you!

    Fantastic photography team!

    Tonya and her son were consummate professionals. They took every step to help make our day special, even going so far as to help when a button tore from my dress. And the pictures are wonderful!! We used her for both our engagement and our wedding, and we will definitely use her in the future for any special events!

    Amazing Experience for my Naples, FL Beach Wedding

    We hired Tonya for our wedding in Naples, Florida at the Ritz Carlton on November 9th, 2024. I cannot say enough good things about our experience with Tonya and her son, Michael. She was so friendly and a true professional. Her and Michael were organized and timely, not only leading up to the wedding but the day of us well. The day went seamlessly. On top of that, she delivered our pictures on time exactly as committed and they were PERFECT. They did both our welcome party and our wedding and each event was perfect. Every single photo was beautiful, and she did an amazing job with our sunset photos. Our day was captured perfectly. I cannot recommend Tonya Malay Photography enough!

    Fantastic Photographer

    Tonya is an amazing photographer! We hired her for our wedding at The Pink Shell Resort and our pictures are beautiful. She tried her very best to make sure every picture is perfect and pays close attention to the details. She makes sure that all of your pictures come out with zero flaws. She also takes it very serious and makes sure to get the job done! If you need a photographer for your wedding, definitely hire Tonya.

    Tonya Malay Photography is Excellent

    We had a wonderful experience with Tonya Malay. She photographed my son’s March 2024 wedding in Naples and was professional, flexible, enthusiastic and involved from the start. She offered great advice throughout, and beautifully captured the essence of the day. The quality of her work is excellent. Everything we had hoped for!

    Outstanding Photos and Low-Stress Wedding Day - Tonya is the best!

    We were in excellent hands with Tonya, and are grateful to her for taking some of the stress out of our big day! She brought tons of experience and flexibility, moving things around on the fly, wrangling wedding party, family, kids, a beach setting, and still making it enjoyable. Not only was she friendly and professional, but also extremely organized and purposeful - she knew what shots she needed, in what order, who needed to be where, and how she could get the best results - the photos of our wedding were outstanding.

    Exquisitely perfect

    Being a destination wedding, I found it extremely difficult to secure a photographer for our beach wedding. I was unable to meet with potential photographers in person, so all my interviewing had to be done via telephone, through previous reviews, and virtual. Tonya was the only photographer who understood what type of photos I wanted. She has a natural instinct for photos and the ability to capture the true personalities of her clients. It was made known that my furkid would be attending the ceremony, which was a guest list of 2 humans and the furkid. My first in-person meet was the day of the ceremony! Wow….the professionalism, care, and approach to making the memories I wanted was beyond impressive! She captured every moment I wanted. What was more impressive was the moments she captured unexpectedly were my absolute favorites. Nothing looked posed and everything looked so natural, I highly recommend Tonya. You have my word that she will not disappoint.

    THE best photographer!!!

    Excellent! Tonya is the epitome of professionalism! Like everyone, we wanted our wedding to be perfect. We did so much research on local photographers and kept returning to Tonya's website. We are so glad we chose Tonya to photograph our special day! Our pictures turned out amazing! Could not have asked for better. We are so in love with our pictures and reminded each time we look at them. I would recommend Tonya without reservation!

    Tonya is amazing!

    I can’t say enough good things about Tonya. I chose her to be my wedding photographer for our beach wedding in Marco Island, FL. I was so impressed with her portfolio - I knew instantly after reviewing it that she was the one. I do a bit of photography myself, so I can certainly appreciate how difficult it can be shooting a beach wedding due the potential of really harsh lighting. Our wedding day consisted of clear blue skies and an overwhelming amount of sun which can sometimes be a nightmare for a photographer. I was blown away with how PERFECT she captured everything. And post ceremony, she timed our husband and wife pictures perfectly with the sunset. Additionally, there were a lot of young children at our wedding as well as activities going on at the beach, but she remained so calm and collected throughout the event and directed everyone through each phase of the shoot. She made it so easy. I have experience with a lot of photographers and she is by far the best I’ve ever worked with. Following the event, she provided excellent communication and was very clear with timelines (and stuck to them). She even went above and beyond and gave us some extra touch-ups just because! I highly recommend Tonya if you’re looking for a true professional who will take charge on your big day and deliver top quality work!

    Had the most beautiful wedding day with the help of Tonya and her son Michael! They were on point the entire day and knew all the best spots/lighting at our hotel. My husband and I as well as our family were in awe of the finished photographs, truly beautiful!
    10/10 would absolutely recommend to anyone having their special upcoming day.

    Tonya is Fantastic!

    I absolutely could not recommend Tonya more. Her photographs were beautiful and she was incredibly easy to work with. Tonya also went above and beyond and helped reolve issues with our venue coordinator and florist, which she had no obligation to do. She's very responsive, her pricing is reasonable and her product is great quality.

    The best wedding photographer!

    Tonya and her son displayed the utmost professionalism and organization, and were extremely pleasant to work with on our wedding day. We worked with Tonya for our engagement photo shoot, and from there, we were confident she would exceed our expectations for our wedding day. Tonya met with us prior to the wedding to review everything we wanted to capture, and maintained the schedule on our wedding day. Our photos are absolutely gorgeous and tell the story of our wedding day perfectly. The prints we received from Tonya are also beautiful!

    Amazing! Absolutely beautiful work!’

    I cannot thank Tonya and Micheal enough! They are so professional and easy to work with. There is not a single picture out of the 900 that were taken, that we do not truly love. They captured our magical day perfectly! We can tell by the outstanding work they do, that they completely care and enjoy what they do! It shows!! Now the hard part…picking the pictures we want in the album and on print!

    Destination wedding

    We hired Tonya and her son for our destination wedding on Sanibel Island and I could not have asked for anything more! She made the whole experience effortless from start to finish. She was professional, organized, and had wonderful communication through out the entire process which put me at ease! When we got our photos back I cried! I couldn’t believe everything they were able to capture. We could not recommend Tonya’s services enough, they truly helped make our day perfect!

    Amazing photographer

    Tonya and her son Michael were absolutely fantastic and we are so glad we hired them for our wedding. Tonya was very helpful and responsive leading up to our wedding. The day of our wedding they worked incredibly hard to capture who we are as a couple and highlight all the beautiful moments during our wedding. We are in love with the final photos; we couldn't have asked for more.

    We worked with the amazing Tonya for a beach vow renewal photoshoot.

    We had the pleasure of having our 10th Anniversary Vow Renewal all captured by Tonya Malay Photography at sunset on the beautiful Naples FL beach.

    Tonya is the best! We couldn’t have asked for a more detail-oriented, personable and professional photographer.

    I myself am very detail oriented so she was a woman after my own heart. It was just my husband and I so I didn’t have others to notice “imperfections,” but I didn’t need them. Tonya never missed a beat.

    The end result was fantastic! It was hard to pick favorites they were all that fabulous! It was a perfect night and our photos will give us lasting beautiful memories.

    We are not from the Naples area so we blindly searched for a local photographer. I loved what I saw in their site. And I was so impressed by Tonya’s response time not only to my initial inquiry but with every interaction thereafter.

    The max is 5 stars here. I would give her so many more if I could. I can’t recommend her more highly.

    Wedding Photographer

    Tonya exceeded all expectations. She was incredibly professional, responsive, helpful, knowledgable, and patient. The candid photos during our wedding ceremony and the more formal shots following both captured so many precious moments. Great directions and suggestions from Tonya helped produce keeper after keeper. Plus, one very efficient and considerate conversation prior to the wedding helped us to iron out all the combinations of people we wanted to be photographed and Tonya executed every single one of them in a smart, succinct, mindful manner. She also has excellent photo editing skills. My husband sweat through his shirt during the ceremony and had to repeatedly take breaks to air out and dry it up during the post-wedding shoot. Looking at the photos, you'd never even know. If you are looking for a photographer, she is the one to use! Everyone attending was impressed with her. I can't rave about her enough.

    Absolute Perfection - Dream Wedding Photos!!

    Tonya was the best wedding photographer I could have ever imagined! Her attention to detail is unsurpassed. She comes prepared with items you would never have thought: scissors for stray dress threads, sand bags to hold down my dress in the wind on the beach, etc! Her preparation and organization skills make it so that photos don't eat all your wedding time. She knows exactly which photos will be taken, at what time, what poses, and for which people. She captured everything so perfectly and kept us exactly on schedule: from our first look, to the ceremony, and our sunset photos. Her son was also available to snap photos of my husband and his party during the afternoon of getting ready. Together they make the perfect tag team and have an efficient system with each other. When we got our 1,100 photos back, the lighting and editing was absolute perfection - on EVERY photo!! Straight out of a fairy tale. BOOK TONYA ASAP!!!! YOU NEED HER!!

    Amazing Photographer

    Tonya went above and beyond to make our day special. She was so easy and flexible to work with from our initial phone consultation to the day of the event. Tonya is kind, professional, and talented. She made sure to capture all of the special moments of our wedding and did a fabulous job capturing photos of our fur baby. I'm still looking back at our wedding photos in awe. I would highly recommend her as a photographer.

    Excellent experience on Sanibel Island

    We are so grateful to Tonya for her kindness, responsiveness, professionalism and skills in capturing our day. Of all the vendors involved in our wedding day (catering, lodging, etc), Tonya was by far the best and easiest to work with. Would highly recommend without hesitation.

    Very Amazing

    Tonya is kind, professional, and certainly knows her way around a camera. You only have one chance to capture your precious memories. Tonya is the one that will deliver. I absolutely recommend including the retouch package. It is worth every penny! Our wedding day was extremely windy. My hair was flying everywhere, even with heavy hairspray. The finished photos are beautiful! You can't tell how windy it was unless you look at the swaying palm trees. From the first call with Tonya, to the recent purchase of our beautiful wedding album, she was accessible and helpful with every decision. If I had two words to describe Tonya Malay Photography: Highly Recommended!!

    Amazing Photos, Very Professional

    Tonya and her team were so easy to work with, they are very professional and put the time in to get to know you and what you're looking for. Tonya was very quick to respond to any emails and was always available to speak on the phone multiple times. Tonya even set up over an hour long conversation to understand the look we were going for, the do's/dont's and what we liked/disliked. She really put a lot of time and effort into it then we got the pictures and were blown away with how amazing they turned out. Before you look for another vendor look at Tonya's work first!

    ✨ Even Better Than I Hoped For

    Two months after our wedding I can not pick a favorite photo taken by Tonya. In fact, I even have trouble picking out my top 10 favorites because there are so many incredible shots to choose from. I am absolutely thrilled with the end results, which are exceptional. My dress had a long, hand made lace train and the time Tonya took positioning it for photos and all of the other tweaks she made to get every detail right made all the difference.

    It was amazing to go through our 1,500+ photos and see our big day brought to life through such exceptional photography. I particularly love how Tonya and Michael were able to capture shots of things that I didn’t even know happened! They certainly have the years of experience and expertise to capture these precious moments which I will treasure forever. 10 / 10, would recommend.

    Downright Spectacular

    Working with Tonya (& Michael) was truly a great experience. During the wedding planning process, Tonya was incredibly detail oriented and immensely thoughtful in ironing out our schedule for the day -- which was especially helpful since we did not have a wedding coordinator. She was quick to respond to emails, considerate of our requests, and really made the wedding day a breeze. Both she and Michael were great with everyone in the family, and everyone has been raving about the photos. A downright spectacular experience, 10/10!

    Tonya is a true artist and a master of her work!

    My husband and I were very fortunate to find Tonya to take our wedding pictures.

    She took the time to understand what we wanted out of our photo sessions and made an extra effort to capture some amazing pictures. Interaction was very timely and thorough.

    Tonya is extremely friendly, professional, and easy to work with. She knows how to work with a couple, or a whole wedding party to make the most of the environment and the people.

    We have been extremely satisfied with the quality of the photos, Tonya did an excellent job in capturing us, our friends and family, and the love and joy of the day. Highly recommended!

    Truly Amazing

    Tonya did an amazing job capturing my wedding. She was prepared and professional and I love how all my pictures turned out. She took the time to meet with us before our wedding day to learn more about us and understand what type of pictures we were looking for and she came with a schedule down to the minute to make sure not a minute was wasted. Nothing felt disorganized or rushed. Tonya was a pleasure to work with and so sweet and I hope to use her again in the future for family portraits when we are in the area. 100% recommend!

    Tonya is amazing! Our wedding pictures are stunning. Highly recommend!

    My husband and I selected Tonya as our wedding photographer (she came recommended by our venue) and it was one of the best decisions we could have made. She is extremely detail oriented. With all the craziness of planning a wedding, it was such a relief to work with Tonya who created a detailed day-of timeline and provided helpful wedding day tips. She also took the time to connect prior to the wedding, which we really appreciated. After two phone calls (navigating all the curveballs 2020 threw at us!) I knew we would be in good hands. Tonya and her talented assistant Michael captured the most beautiful shots of our wedding day, and they were an absolute pleasure to work with. Everything ran so smoothly, and when we received our photos we saw just how above and beyond Tonya went. Her photo editing is amazing (not that they needed much, but she makes sure to perfect every detail) and there were so many stunning pictures. We could not have been happier :) Highly recommend!

    Outstanding Photography!

    I was introduced to Tonya and Michael, through the Naples, Florida Ritz-Carlton preferred vendors list. Prior to the wedding, I worked with Tonya during our engagement photoshoot and it was flawless- from the poses, to the scenery, and the timing of the sunset. Tonya and Michael were very accommodating for my large bride tribe and group of groomsmen. Tonya created and implemented a comprehensive timeline agenda for each setting. Both photographers demonstrated an intuition when determining poses best suited for us, as they respectfully listened to and successfully implemented our requests. The team transitioned throughout the day and evening with a calm, collected stress-free and fun attitude. They were on time and ahead of schedule. Tonya and Michael are true professionals, and possess a passion for their work. I would highly recommend Tonya Malay Photography!

    An eye for detail

    Where to start... from the tips and tricks she gave me (the bride) on how to look perfect in every shot, to her incredible eye for capturing the perfect shot, Tonya is incredible. We are so happy with the way our wedding photos turned out. Every shot is a keeper. We had a comprehensive call when we booked, then she followed up again a couple of weeks before the wedding to make sure she had names and relations for all of our must have shots, as well as an overall feel for what we envisioned and she nailed it. The day of, she and her assistant Michael showed up early, gave us some gentle guidance and was so amazing to work with. Every shot that we asked for was delivered, everything we discussed was exactly what we got. We will be using her for all of our special events. Highly recommend.

    The best wedding photographers you could have!

    Tonya and Michael are the world's best wedding photographers! Before the event, we had a meeting that laid out the shots we wanted throughout the day. It helped me feel ready for the wedding in general! They delivered all of our shots, helped with a broken bustle, pulled out hairspray to help with a fly away hair... and the pictures are a dream!

    Prompt, Professional, Priceless

    I hired Tonya and her son Michael to photograph my wedding at the Marco Beach Ocean Resort in July of 2019, and they did NOT disappoint.

    My husband and I are from NH, so choosing a photographer from FL originally felt like a daunting task. I looked at a number of websites, read endless reviews, and touched based with several photographers before committing. Once I chatted with Tonya on the phone, the decision became a no brainer. When some of the other vendors I hired commended the choice I made to hire Tonya, I knew there was nothing left to worry about when it came to our wedding photos.

    During the planning process, Tonya was easy to get in touch with. She was also very responsive whenever I had any questions or concerns, and she was very informative when it came to things like planning for the Florida heat. She knows all of the tricks of the trade.

    On the big day, Tonya showed up right on time and ready to shoot. Hair and makeup was a little behind, but she was able to get us back on track with her efficient and effective way of moving people where they need to be. And when we ran into issues with my dress on the sand or with my bustle coming undone, Tonya was prepared in every way to help me get things back together.

    After the wedding, our pictures came in pretty quickly, and they were absolutely stunning. If you’re looking for someone who is highly experienced in their craft and for gorgeous photos to remember your special day by, then I highly recommend Tonya Malay Photography. You won’t regret it.

    The absolute BEST!

    Tonya is as professional as they come. She's accommodating, calm, and demands order, while delivering the most beautiful pictures I have ever seen. She adheres to deadlines, timelines, and makes sure fun is had throughout the entire process. The photos that Tonya captured still take my breath away, to this day (almost two years later). There is no better choice is SWF!

    Amazing photography for our dream wedding!

    Our experience with Tonya Malay Photography was absolutely wonderful! They were so great to work with! Tonya was very helpful, attentive, creative and professional. She was super easy to contact and communicate with. This was very important to us since we live out of state. The photos turned out gorgeous! She was able to capture stunning ceremony and sunset photos, beautiful candids, and lively reception snapshots. She went above and beyond to make our wedding unforgettable. We would definitely recommend working with Tonya Malay Photography!

    Amazing Photographer!

    Tonya is very organized and she pays attention to detail. During our one on one meeting with her she kept detailed notes and timeline of what photos we wanted and what family and friends we wanted in order for photos. She followed up before the wedding to make sure everything was Correct and to go over the timeline again. Tonya organized everything on our wedding day. She called everyone by name and stuck to the timeline we wanted and made sure all of the pictures we requested were done. Everyone attending the wedding mentioned how professional and friendly she was. We were so amazed how well the photos came back. I would recommend her for your wedding.

    Unmatched professionalism, creativity, and attention to detail!

    I cannot say enough great things about Tonya and Michael. She has an eye for detail and a talent that is truly unmatched - you will feel confident and taken care of when Tonya is behind the lens! She is a seasoned professional and it shows. From her thorough planning before the big day, to her expert efficiency of positioning portraits, to always touching me up when she saw I needed it, Tonya took excellent care of me and knowing I was in great hands really helped keep me calm on such a crazy day. If you don't want to leave your pictures to chance (and who would when you want to capture such an expensive day!), do yourself a favor and hire THE BEST. Thank you Tonya and Michael!

I recommend all brides to work with Tonya, you won’t be disappointed. I’m so excited to see the photos and can’t wait to review. Thank you for making my day special and making me feel like a queen.

    Ours was a destination wedding and that in and of itself is a challenge. Tonya was very understanding of our budget and did excellent prep with us over the phone in advance so that the session during/after the wedding was super efficient. The photos themselves came out awesome - we highly highly recommend her!

    Best Decision We Made (Other Than Marrying Each Other)!!!

    Tonya is the most amazing, organized photographer - I truly don't know how we would have gotten through our wedding day so easily without her! First of all, her photography is amazing so it really speaks for itself. She works to capture the best possible background in every shot. Tonya is so organized, which made it as worry free as possible for us so we could enjoy our day. Throughout planning the photography schedule for the day she came up with the master timeline that we used for everything. Tonya went above and beyond her photography job, from having anything we needed (that we didn't know we needed!) - she fixed a broken boutonniere, pinned hair back with her kit of hair spray and bobby pins, and even took over the mic at one point when the band was about to make a mistake...no one noticed this smooth move except for us but it was incredible and so appreciated!). She really did it all and without knowing how hectic a wedding day gets, everyone in our family felt so grateful for her. We highly, highly recommend them!

    If you are a bride who wants to make sure your dream wedding is captured in photos you will cherish for a lifetime, then Tonya Malay is the photographer to call. From our initial call and the planning session right before the wedding to the day of the event and preparation of photos after the event, Tonya went the extra mile to produce the most amazing photos that beautifully captured every moment of our wedding day. In addition to being incredibly talented, organized, and professional, Tonya and Michael are personable and fun. My husband and I are so happy and forever grateful for the way they created an enjoyable experience for us while capturing and producing the most breathtaking photos.

    Tonya Malay and her work are both absolutely fantastic! I honestly couldn't be more pleased. My husband and I live in Chicago, so we didn't have anyone to refer us a great photographer experience. We did some online research and I really thought Tonya's images stood out. We got to meet with her in person and she is very thorough and organized. Ahead of the wedding, we had a plan, and even though the day got a bit off track, Tonya made sure to capture all the images I wanted. The sunset photos are actually unbelievable, and many of the images are so crisp and beautiful that it looks almost like we were photoshopped in the images even though we were there! Tonya's customer service is amazing. I had some issues with the chest of my dress, and Tonya went above and beyond with her photoshopping to make sure that everything was fixed and there were no problems. I would HIGHLY recommend Tonya!!! I had a great experience and wouldn't have changed a thing. We're VERY happy with our images :) :) :)

    We used Tonya to photograph our secret elopement on the beach at sunset at the Ritz-Carlton in Naples,Florida in November. We cannot say enough about how totally amazing she was. She took charge of absolutely everything with total professionalism, grace, ease, and elegance, yet kept it all super fun, relaxed, and so easy. She knew the venue incredibly well. Her incredibly well-thought out plan and time-line allowed her to get every beautiful shot from the get-ready to the first-look to the kettubah signing, ceremony, and even awesome fun sunset photos on the beach. Tonya basically ran our event and she was awesome!! The pictures are all breath-taking. Her professional work and artistic creativity are beyond compare. You will be so very over-the-top ecstatic if you allow Tonya to photograph your special event. We absolutely love her. We are so grateful for the most gorgeous photographs that bring us right back to the most beautiful day of our lives.

    Tonya and her team were wonderful from beginning to end. We knew what to expect, no surprises! She is very professional and wants nothing but the best for your photos. We both have big families that can be difficult to wrangle together at times but Tonya and Michael handled it effortlessly. I highly recommended Tonya to anyone who is looking to have a worry free day when it comes to photography. We just got our pictures back and they are nothing but wonderful. Thanks you so much for your excellent work!!

    The Tonya Malay Photography team was OUTSTANDING, AMAZING and WONDERFUL!! Tonya Malay Photography is a preferred vendor at the Ritz Carlton Beach Resort in Naples, FL and for GOOD REASON! Tonya and team are extreme professionals but also had personalities, which is what we wanted and needed for our special day. Tonya talked with me several times prior to the wedding to compile a list of what we wanted to achieve in our photos, while also making excellent suggestions; she was also open to all ideas that we presented to her. Tonya kept us on a tight schedule while also making us and our guests laugh and have fun. We got all of the pictures that we wanted and so many more! We were truly blown away by the images that Tonya captured. Tonya and her team have so much attention to detail and every single picture is AMAZING and BEAUTIFUL!! We are having a very hard time selecting which ones to print, frame and hang. But this is a very good problem to have! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Tonya Malay Photography to everyone! Check out Tonya Malay Photography's website (TonyaMalay.com) and I promise you that the amazing, gorgeous, unbelievable photos that you see on the site (and on my post) will be the same high quality, beautiful, amazing photos that you will receive! THANK YOU Tonya for the wonderful experience, the amazingly beautiful pictures and for just being so darn professional, nice and fun!!

    Tonya and her son Michael are so talented and were such an integral part of our wedding! We were planning our wedding from afar but Tonya was available to us by phone and was so helpful in putting together the timeline and considerations for our wedding. On our wedding day, she and Michael were so professional, and were right down to business from the moment they arrived. They really cared about us being comfortable and happy, and made sure we were on the timeline that was important to us. We had a very windy wedding day and they worked wonders with Photoshop as well.

    I can’t even begin to say how pleased I was with Tonya!! We could not have picked a better photographer for our destination wedding! She went above & beyond from the very beginning in more ways that I can say. She even helped is create a moment by moment timeline when things fell through with our wedding planner & helped me change out of my dress between the wedding ceremony & reception (which are both way out of her job description.) She is friendly & VERY thorough. All of my guests & the wedding party were also impressed. Her son also did a great job in helping her. I HIGHLY recommend her!!

    Tonya & Michael did an amazing job at our wedding!! From the beginning of our search process, they were easy to talk to, very informed and helpful throughout. On our wedding day, they were very professional, prepared and flexible throughout the day. We loved how Tonya took control during the many family photos and guided us through everything. The pictures were amazing and Tonya even removed all of lovely “Speedo swimsuit wearing” old men who were watching from the beach LOL. We highly recommend Tonya Malay Photography!

    I cannot thank Tonya enough for all her work to make our wedding day run smoothly! Tonya worked with us to plan our wedding day down to the minute in an effort to ensure she would be able to capture every moment - to include researching exactly when the sun would set and making sure my husband & I were on the beach for pictures. She also planned a phone consultation before our wedding to learn our family and bridal party's names and plan out all the posed photography. Because of her professionalism, our day went off without a hitch, and it did not go unnoticed. Several guests commented on how organized she was. We also had a lot of fun working with her and her son. They make a great team! I am confident our pictures will look amazing - we cannot wait to see them!

    Tonya photographed our 25th anniversary vow renewal. Even though the weather did not cooperate with our outdoor ceremony, Tonya went out of her way to make sure we got all of the photos we wanted, even offering to take additional photos when the weather improved. We have a child with autism who does not enjoy being photographed, but Tonya was amazing with him. She was so patient and took extra photos just to make sure we got the best pictures we could. Since we were coming from out of state, we had to rely on her great online reviews and we were so glad we made the decision to hire Tonya.

    Tonya and her son, Michael, were an absolute pleasure to work with. They captured our wedding day perfectly and we are so grateful to them for providing us with such timeless, stunning photos that we will treasure for years to come. Tonya and Michael's services were efficient, professional and tailored exactly to our needs (and also Mother Nature's needs due to inclement weather on the day!). Despite our wedding changing locations from the beach to indoors due to wet weather, this wasn't a problem at all for Tonya and Michael and they took it in their stride, while also capturing beautiful images that were relaxed, natural and intimate. They even managed to achieve the impossible on the day and captured some stunning beach photos which were exactly what we had envisioned.
    I'd recommend Tonya Malay Photography to anyone wishing to have classic, elegant photos of your big event that will last a lifetime.

    My husband and I were planning a destination wedding in Naples Florida, faced with the daunting task of committing to vendors from afar. Finding the perfect photographer was a priority for us. After looking through a long list of possible photographers, Tonya Malay's website immediately stood out as we were impressed by her beautiful photos which captured the spontaneity and joy of each event. Upon expressing interest to her via email, we immediately heard back. She was incredibly professional and ready to answer all questions and also offer insights and advice to help us plan our perfect celebration. Our positive impression of Tonya Malay was clinched on wedding weekend. She did both our rehearsal dinner and wedding day. She was perfectly organized from the beginning and kept everything running smoothly and on schedule. She had taken the time in advance to learn everyone's names, and this was amazing for both rapport and efficiency. After the wedding, we were surprised at her efficient turnaround time. Most of our friends were waiting much longer for their wedding photos. The quality of the collection was truly superb and we couldn't have been more excited to relive our special day through these vibrant, beautiful photos. She not only helped us get the photos we had envisioned, she also contributed her own creative ideas that resulted in a wonderfully well-balanced collection of passionate, beautiful, light-hearted, and truly memorable photos that captured our spirit as a couple both alone and amidst our family and friends.

    Bottom line: if you are planning a wedding in Naples, Florida or surrounding areas, don't look any further! Tonya Malay is the way to go.

    I cannot say enough about Tonya! She is amazing. I am so glad that we chose her to photograph our special day. Her photos are stunning! She really captured the beauty and the emotion of our wedding day! We have so many beautiful photos I don't know how we will ever chose. In addition to being a fabulous photographer, she is so professional. She really knows how to manage an event. Of course I was running behind in getting ready and she was able to really help direct everything and get us back on track. She made sure that we got all of the photos we wanted and more! She is super flexible and so easy to work with. She's open to any requests you may have. She wants to make sure you get exactly what you want. We were so at ease with her the whole time. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding photographer!

    We probably can't even think of enough good things to say about Tonya and Michael. As soon as we spoke on the phone the first time, I knew she was going to be an incredible part of our wedding. I interviewed several photographers in Florida, and none of them matched Tonya's talent, creativity, and professionalism. She was with us every step of the way. She listened to what we wanted, but she also provided very helpful suggestions and feedback. I had planned a huge surprise for my husband that required a "second" wedding day timeline, and Tonya not only kept it a secret, but helped me plan the whole thing to perfection. On wedding day, she and Michael kept everything running smoothly. Tonya even helped me be nice to my grandmother when she was making things a little difficult. Our entire photography schedule changed when rain poured down at the end of our ceremony, and Tonya handled that beautifully as well. Like I said, there are not enough good things we can say about Tonya. From first conversation to receipt of our photos, we could not be happier. Our photos are BEAUTIFUL and accessing them is very easy. Tonya and her son, Michael, are so talented, creative, and professional. We would just like to be able to work with them again in the future!

    Words do not do Tonya and her assistant, Michael justice. Not only are their photos gorgeous but they are extremely nice and helpful. We were a destination wedding and Tonya went above and beyond to help us find the best vendors in the area and give us advice on other aspects of our wedding. On the day of our wedding, they helped to ease stress and make sure everything ran smoothly. Tonya even had extra supplies so when a make up mishap happened, she was there to fix it so everyone felt and looked their best. I would hire Tonya again for any major milestone. You won't find a more talented, professional, and personable photographer.

    Where do I start? From our first meeting we clicked with Tonya and her son Michael! Having her around for my wedding day was comforting and she really puts you at ease! We had complete confidence in her and she can really command a large family for amazing photos! Michael is a rock star at the candid photos! When we received our photos we were absolutely pleased and loved every single image reassuring us we truly made the right decision choosing Tonya!

    Tonya is amazing! She and her son photographed our wedding this spring and the moments they captured we will treasure forever. It was a second wedding for each of us and she did such a fantastic job of taking the time to learn about our families and groups we would like photographed. She created a timeline that was incredibly helpful. I cannot recommend her highly enough! She is professional, prepared, kind, and an amazing photographer!

    Tonya Malay and her assistant Micheal did a fabulous and beautiful job for our wedding from start to finish. I would highly recommend her. I have know her for 18 plus years. We have used her for many occasions such as Christmas, family portraits, Church, school, from our wedding my now husbands son's wedding also. She worked so extremely well with all ages at our wedding from 2 years up to 84 years old. Outstanding work.

    Tonya is amazing. She was good and thorough before hand and even answered those questions that I had about sticky situations. . The day of the wedding she was so good and gave me confidence because I don't really like my picture taken. Her son Michael was also excellent and set everyone at ease. You must hire her. YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT

    Tonya Malay was simply amazing!!! I don't even know we're to begin. Tonya & her son Michael both are truly amazing at what they do, but not only that, they are amazing people! We can't thank them enough for capturing all of our special moments from our wedding day. Our family/wedding party weren't the easiest to deal with, especially with all the children but they were able to get everything we asked for & more! We were confident from the very first email that we made the right choice & never once was worried. Tonya was always so sweet, helpful & professional. We absolutely HIGHLY recommend to anyone & everyone! We wish we could take her home to Minnesota with us to continue capturing all the future moments of our lives! We had so much fun working with her!!
