One of My Favorite Photographers!

Tonya and Jackie were very personable and very friendly. Got along with everyone in our wedding party and great photo ideas, because I'm not super creative with that stuff. We have gotten the sneak peaks of the wedding pictures which me and my husband just love! She has taken several other pictures of me and my family and I'll keep coming to them! We can't wait to see our full gallery!!

Tonya is amazing!

Tonya was the perfect person to hire to be our wedding photographer! She is super sweet, very personable and easy to feel comfortable around. I knew after our first conversation that I made the right decision. Not only did she do an amazing job on wedding day, but our engagement photo also turned out awesome and we got so many compliments on our photos. She also helped me surprise my husband with a boudior session and though those may be awkward photos to take, they weren't awkward at all and I had a great time! I'd definitely recommend her, as I have already recommended my friends to her as well! I'll definitely be a lifelong client for all the special moments to come!

Professional, Versatile, Caring

Tonya was incredible. I got engaged December 2019 and was looking to book a photographer pretty early on. Then the pandemic began and my plans changed, slowly at first, then drastically. Tonya was caring and understanding of my situation even before i was an official customer. She kept my date closed in her books until i was finally able to pay in full. She's a very sweet person and so easy to get along with. She's versatile in her editing style and is great if you are looking for something "light and airy" or something a little more "moody". Booking Tonya was hands down the best decision i made with my wedding (second only to picking the man i married 💕).

Amazing photographer

Tonya was absolutely amazing to work with from start to finish. From our engagement photos to our wedding day, her down to earth personality made us feel comfortable with her as if she was part of the family! Our photos came out more beautiful than we could have ever imagined! We recommend her to all of our family and friends! We will definitely be working with her again in the future for all of our photography needs!

Premier Editing Skills

You hire a photographer for her editing skills and Tonya sure has those! We booked CLV in a jam after losing our first photographer a few weeks before our event. Tonya was flexible, professional and creative. Our double wedding reception photos came out beautifully!

10/10 would recommend!

Tonya had been nothing short of amazing during our whole process! From our very first encounter she was super sweet and very professional. Tonya responded to emails and texts promptly every time. She was so helpful, not to mention she had a foot brace on during our engagement photos and wedding and still managed to get around without a complaint at all!! I initially found Tonya via a Facebook wedding group where she was advertising a special she was having. Unfortunately by the time I had messaged her the special was over BUT Tonya still let me take advantage of it since that was how I found her. My husband and I agreed that we would continue to have Tonya take pictures for all of our special moments because of her beautiful work and just overall great attitude!

Phenomenal Experience!

On your wedding day you need someone who is going to care about your day as much as you do. Tonya is amazing to work with. She loves what she does and I'm happy to call her not only my wedding photographer but my friend. My day was thrown so many curve balls and Tonya made sure to make everything smooth and I have no doubt she helped make our day as wonderful as she could. Would recommend her to anyone!

Creative freedom!

Even though our plans changed 3 times Tonya ALWAYS checked in and knew what the plan was. She was so amazing with the shots, and gave me the creative freedom to make suggestions on what shots I wanted. She was on time, and even asked if I needed anymore by the end of the night. I could not have asked for a better photographer. Thank you thank you thank you!!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
