I highly recommend Tonya Malay Photography as your wedding photographer. After interviewing several wedding photographers in Southwest Florida, we selected Tonya because she was (1) genuinely passionate about photography (2) has serious talent (3) is well known and published in the area (4) is well liked by other wedding vendors (5) knows how to command a crowd – which is so critical BECAUSE the last thing a bride wants to worry about is time being wasted on trying to shift family members around on the altar for photos after the wedding, or getting the bridal party organized for photos before the reception. She did not waste a moment of precious time – she was polite, efficient, and totally organized. She is an experienced professional and you will undoubtedly be satisfied with your choice. They were very in-tune with our personal photo preferences and desired backgrounds/poses. Tonya and her team captured unbelievable photos from our day. Although they take photos all day long, they are VERY skilled at capturing gorgeous sunset photos... don't miss out on that! They were so easy to work with, curteous, profressional, and flexible. We are very much looking forward to ordering our wedding album through her. There are just too many beautiful photos to choose from!

Tonya was amazing start to finish. She took detailed notes on our initial interview and continued to stay in contact throughout our planning process. She is extremely organized and professional, and she is also fun and artistic. Our pictures turned out beautiful. I would highly recommend her!!

Tonya Malay was beyond AMAZING to work with! I absolutely adore all the pictures she took for my wedding at the Marco Island Marriott. She was great under pressure and very professional. I would highly recommend her for anyone getting married in southwest florida area!!

-Tatroe/Kalfayan Wedding

Tonya and her team (2nd photographer and lighting) were nothing short of amazing. I was a difficult bride with a long list of pictures that I had to have and they were able to get every one! The team also performs extremely well in adverse conditions. There were literally 30mph winds on my wedding day and I was having an outdoor ceremony with my hair down. I cannot even begin to express how many beautiful images they captured. Some photos you couldn't even tell the wind was blowing and others were so stunning because tonya used the wind as an effect. Leading up to the wedding day I had so many conversations with tonya and she was nothing but excited and eager to try new things and loved getting creative. The photographer is a huge decision- it is the way your wedding will be documented forever and you will be spending tons of time on your wedding day with the photographer. Tonya and her team were perfect and I couldn't have been happier.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Tonya, Emma and Mike!!!! From the first day that I spoke with Tonya, I knew I wanted her to be our photographer! She took so much time out of her day to talk to me. She worked with me to give me best outline/timeline for what I wanted. She made sure she had all the pictures that I wanted. Tonya, Emma and Mike were all incredibly professional at the wedding. They knew exactly what they were doing and made sure everyone was in the right spot at the right time, in the right position! She even posted a beautiful sunset picture the night of our wedding - before we were even done celebrating! I can't wait to see the rest of our pictures, I'm sure they will be amazing. I would recommend her to anyone!!!

Working with Tonya before, during and after our wedding was so easy. Coordination of our destination wedding from 3000 miles away was seamless and the photos we just got back are spectacular!!

Tonya and her crew produced the most beautiful photos of the wedding. They are truly professional quality. They did a very efficient job of getting the formal shots out of the way, and then were very unobtrusive in taking the candids. The candids really gave a a true feel for the special moments during the reception. Tonya was a pleasure to deal with.

I am SO happy we picked Tonya Malay Photography to do our wedding, and so thankful she was available for our date. I could not be happier with the work her and her team have done for us. Just got the pictures back last night and they are amazing! Tonya and her team are so easy to get along with I'm so excited to share my beautiful pictures with everyone! thank you so much for capturing our fairy-tale day!!

Tonya and her team were fantastic, very knowledgeable and professional with everything they did. Tonya/Emma are extremely talented and knew when and where to go to take and have the perfect shots. They captured all of our must have wedding moments just the way we had wanted them. Everything about the day was perfect- Just had a chance to review all of our pictures online and they are wonderful. I'm extremely happy with the pictures and I would recommend them to anyone who is looking for a great photographer for their special day. They are just top of the line, anyone can take pictures-Tonya and her team take pictures that will bring back happy memories for the rest of our lives. Thanks so much!!!!!

Tonya exceeded all our expectations! The photos were amazing (she caught every moment we had asked for), and she was incredibly easy to work with. All our friends and family were absolutely blown away by the photos she took. We couldn't have asked for anything more. I would absolutely recommend Tonya Malay photography to anyone!

Tonya and her team were incredible to work with!! Prior to our wedding, Tonya communicated with me on several occasions to plan out a timeline for the wedding day and make sure we had everything arranged. She made so many great recommendations for our wedding day. Once the wedding day arrived, Tonya and her team were completely prepared and so professional with everything. They made everyone feel so at ease while taking pictures. Our wedding party even enjoyed taking pictures cause it was such a fun and relaxed time! All day long, Tonya knew exactly what spots to take pictures at and had great timing with everything. She made sure that my hair and makeup stayed fresh looking and would help with touch-ups when they were needed. At the reception, Tonya had my husband and I go outside at sunset for pictures. Her timing with the sunset was impeccable and there were so many great shots.

Besides the incredible service we received prior to and the day of the wedding, the pictures that we got were so amazing that they were beyond words! So many great moments between my husband and I, family and friends were captured. The sunset pictures were out of this world!! I knew Tonya was incredible at capturing a beautiful sunset in photos, but honestly, it was above and beyond what I anticipated :). We couldn't be more pleased with everything that Tonya Malay Photography did for us. I would strongly recommend them to any bride that is looking for incredible photography and an absolutely fun team to work with!

Tonya was absolutely amazing! From the first phone call to her - i knew she was the one... she worked with us from start to finish... very professional and fun to work with. She was willing to flex her evening to come early for pictures due to Tropical Storm Debby on our wedding night! She did everything to make sure she was able to capture those beautiful pictures! Thanks Tonya for making my wedding night absolutely amazing!

I would highly recommend Tonya! Thanks so much...

Tonya, and her assistant Emma, were fabulous! We had to endure effects of Tropical Storm Debby on our wedding day, and they made every effort to make sure our photos had the best quality, variety in locations and backgrounds. They made the entire experience fun, and brought attention to detail to every shot. Loved them and would highly recommend!!

We had an excellent experience with Tonya Malay and her staff (especially Emma) for our wedding at the Ritz Carleton Naples in May. They are extremely professional and everything went like clockwork. Tonya works with you to find out who you are and what type of wedding you are having to help determine the type of photographs you want. Tonya takes control of every situation to make sure we kept on schedule (often keeping guests on schedule too) to make sure we got all of the photos we wanted.

We received our prints in about 1 month after our ceremony and they are amazing. The only problem I am having is picking out the photos for the album because they are all so beautiful it is hard to eliminate any of them.

Throughout the process we had excellent communication and I always felt confident I made the best choice for a wedding photographer.

Tonya Malay is an amazing photographer. Throughout the wedding planning process she answered any question I had in a timely manner, even questions that were not related to photography. She was always responsive to any and all questions I had. Tonya and her team are very professional and made sure that all of the photos I wanted to capture on my day were taken. She is also very flexible and worked with me to make sure I was completely happy. Tonya really went above and beyond my expectations! Her work is amazing and I also highly recommend building a fine art coffee table album with her. Mine turned out amazing!

We recently traveled from New York to Florida for our destination wedding. Tonya was recommended to us, and wow did she do a fabulous job. I can't say enough about her! Extremely professional, really gets into her work to capture the couples personality, and has an eye for the perfect picture and lighting. I'll come back and do another review after I see the actual developed pictures, and I'm sure I'll be giving her ten stars if that's possible. Her experience really shows. She knew all the good spots at the Hyatt Regency for photos, and really let us be ourselves. She can also herd the cattle for pictures (if you know what I mean), and all with poise. We had a good time with her and her crew! I have friends who are photographers who were at the wedding, and they all commented on how talented Tonya and her assistants were...which they never do! Most importantly, you don't even know they are there, and yet they are always there when you want a picture. Can't wait to see their work! In early conversations, she also had a plethora of suggestions/recommendations, which was extremely helpful.
I would highly recommend Tonya and her crew...you won't be disappointed!
