A Note just for you!
Everyone has that ONE photo they can't wait to see from their wedding day - the one with so much anticipation, joy or emotions that will instantly bring tears to your eyes...

>Maybe it's the moment that you're getting your dress laced up before you begin your walk down the aisle.

>Maybe it's the reaction on your partner's face the moment they see you for the first time.>

>Maybe it's the photo of all the joy and excitement on the faces of your loved ones after you say "I Do"

>Or maybe it's the moment when you get to watch your grandparents dance like no one is watching!

Whatever that moment is for you, THAT is what we want to capture. Our goal is to tell your story in the most authentic, romantic and timeless way, being unapologetically yourselves. We specialize in focusing on and capturing the moments that are important to YOU.

Hi! We are Elysian Vibes parent company of Jessica Tonya Photography, and in between enjoying our families, and our late night Netflix binges, we are a team of professionals.

We are wild, hopeless romantic types who loves all things weddings.

In addition to fluffing your dress, pinning a few boutonnieres, and being your voice of calm and reason when you just need a moment to breathe, we are capturing all of the important and in-between moments of the day while you get ready to marry the love of your life! By the time you walk down the aisle, we will feel more like family than just another vendor...smiling until our faces hurts and crying behind the video/camera during your vows and first dance.

Highly recommend

Working with Jessica was an absolute dream. From the moment we connected, she brought warmth, professionalism, and a clear passion for her craft. Her ability to capture both the big moments and the quiet, emotional details was truly remarkable.

The photos were stunning—elegant, vibrant, and full of life. Each image felt like a piece of art, yet completely authentic to who we are. The video was equally breathtaking, with smooth transitions, beautiful music, and storytelling that made us relive the day with tears and laughter.

Jessica made everyone feel comfortable and confident, blending seamlessly into the event while still managing to catch every meaningful glance, smile, and celebration.

We’re so grateful to have had Jessica document such an important time in our lives. Her work is timeless, and we’ll cherish these memories forever. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a talented, kind, and visionary photographer and videographer.

Working with Jessica was great! She called ahead of time to get an idea of what we wanted out of our pictures. At the actual shoot she was so fun and made us feel so comfortable. We got the pictures back quickly and are absolutely in love with them.

Boat Engagement Photoshoot

We hired Jessica to shoot our engagement pictures. She did an amazing job. We had asked her to join us on our boat to capture our love. We both had never been in a photo shoot before but from the moment she arrived to the very end, Jessica made us feel comfortable which made it easier for us to take pictures. We waited a few weeks and when we got our pictures back, we were blown away on how beautiful they were. She was able to capture a moment in time that will never forget. Jessica’s friendly and open minded energy helped make our picture that much better. Her editing techniques captured our true love story that we can keep forever. Thank you Jessica for being amazing. We love you.

The best photographer around!!!

I am a makeup artist from Rhode Island and I’ve worked with Jessica several times! Fitness shoots, business headshots, etc. She is so easy to work with and we always have the best time! Anyone who has worked along side Jess knows how talented she is! Her pictures ALWAYS come out stunning and she makes all clients feel comfortable in front of the camera. Definitely look forward to work with her again! The latest boudoir shoot we’ve worked on together came out INCREDIBLE!!!! I literally downloaded every single picture from the album.

100/10 must hire

We hired Jess an entire year before our wedding that we held in 11/12/23. From our first interaction to the last she was her authentic self and I knew she was a perfect fit. She not only held continued communication leading up to the wedding, she kept us in the loop during & after as well as throughout her editing process. On our wedding day she went above & beyond to make sure everything was handled including my minor nervous breakdown when we couldn’t find extra clothes for our youngest daughter 🤦🏼‍♀️ She handled our chaos like the true boss she is & let me tell you, it shows in our pictures. She captured everything we had asked exactly how we envisioned it and then some. Everyone that attended our wedding complimented her presence & talent anticipating our photos. To say no one was disappointed is an understatement. Everyone is obsessed with our photos including us. I keep saying I’m ready to wallpaper our house with them. Im ready to find more reasons to hire her again. 100/10 recommend Jess to capture any special moment you have. We hired a photographer & gained a friend ❤️

BEST Wedding photographer!

We hired Jessica as our wedding photographer and cannot recommend her highly enough!! In addition to taking beautiful photos that capture the moment she also is so much fun to be around! As someone who personally doesn't love taking a lot of photos, Jessica really made it feel comfortable and natural. We really couldn't have hoped for a better experience and we now have hundreds of beautiful pictures from our special day.

Jessica is amazing

Jessica responded to my email right away, and minutes after looking at her work my husband and I booked her for our wedding. She offered an engagement shoot where we actually met in person! She was absolutely amazing and made the process so comfortable. The pictures came out beautiful, I couldn’t wait to see what she would do with the actual wedding photos! My wedding photos are magical and Jessica was amazing from the minutes she got there while we were getting ready all the way til the end of the night! Her personality shines through and all my guest loved her!! I would 1000% percent Recommend jessica-Tonya photography to everyone and anyone! I promise you’ll be pleased, and feel like u made a new friend!!

Just like family!

Jessica is amazing! I booked a pre-wedding boudoir shoot and my wedding with her and I would recommend her to anyone! Most of our guests didn’t even realize she was the photographer that’s how well she blended in getting all of the best shots!! She is an absolute pleasure to work with! ❤️
