About this vendor

Capture Your Wedding With Nest & Love Photography

I'm Tonya, based in Depoe Bay, OR, and I'm your go‑to local expert for weddings anywhere along the Central Oregon Coast, from Pacific City down to Waldport. Book me for your coastal "I do," and there are zero travel fees. This is my backyard, creative playground, and the place where I know every moody cliff and tucked‑away cove.

What to Expect at Nest & Love Photography

I bring experience, professionalism, and a calm, confident presence, but I'm also the photographer who hypes you up, cracks jokes, and keeps things fun. I offer wedding boudoir (individual or couples) as an add‑on, and yes, I'm one of the few photographers on the Central Oregon Coast who actually does this. If you want something spicy and fun, in a safe, judgment-free environment, I've got you. Aside from boudoir, I shoot proposals, engagements, trash‑the‑dress sessions, and weddings of every size… though I'll be honest, the small, intimate, "we're doing this our way" weddings are my absolute favorites. My ideal couples are the ones who ditch the rulebook, embrace the chaos, laugh loudly, love hard, and aren't afraid to get a little messy for a good photo-op.

About Tonya

When I'm not photographing love stories, I'm usually gaming (Halo, anyone?), tending to my ever-growing plant collection, or exploring the Oregon Coast with my pups. I'm proudly LGBTQ+ friendly, inclusive, and committed to making every couple feel safe, celebrated, and completely themselves. If you want photos that feel wild, intimate, moody, and a little bit dramatic, with a photographer who's equal parts pro and playful, I'm your girl.

Someone who CARES!

Tonya was hands down the best photographer my daughter could have hired. She went above and beyond and even found areas on the property (a fountain in the back yard) that they didn't even know existed.
She even assisted with helping us button up an 11 point bussle on the wedding dress!
I would highly recommend her to anyone who wants to hire someone who is clearly passionate about her job and truly CARES about everyone involved in the photos. Thank you so much for everything, Tonya!

Tonya is the best!!

Tonya was our photographer for our surprise engagement shoot and for our wedding. Throughout the whole process Tonya was extremely responsive, supportive, and helpful. Her photos and style are incredible. She is so great at capturing the love, joy, and happiness we felt at both our engagement and our wedding. She is professional, hilarious, and adventurous. She helped keep everyone organized on our wedding day and was there to help every moment along the way. I can’t recommend Tonya enough!

Forever Ours

When we came across some pictures Tonya had taken we knew that she was talented. We decided to take our very first family pictures. Well by a professional, not one inside a department store. Once again, her work was simply amazing! The way she treated our family. She work’s amazingly with all. My family is crazy and she was able to handle us lol... after that first time with her, well we not only found our forever photographer but we found a friend. Tonya is that great... she did my daughters wedding photos... i can’t even think of the right word that could describe how perfect the photos were! How great she dealt with a destination wedding that had many opinions and hands involved. Oh goodness she made the wedding flow. I then learned how hard of a career she has but how she handles it so easily. Her photos show the time, thought and love that went into them. Tonya radiates how much her career means and how important her clients are to her. Our foster sons first photos! I cried! No other words... Watching her during this... Tonya, if your reading this, just know how much it meant to me to have you take these! We then did our second set of family pictures.. Christmas pics on the tree farm! She again dealt with my crazy family but we had added three more to the mix! Again, amazed by her talent!

Tonya at Nest & Love was the best find of our wedding day ❤️ Her skill was amazing and we absolutely loved our photos but more so she has such an easy way of connecting with people and bringing out the most authentic and candid self of everyone. She has a great eye and unique ideas to capture who you really are. We are so thankful for her and the photos that captured our day perfectly!!

Amazing Elopement Photographer

My husband and I lost our original photographer shortly before our elopement date. It turned out to be a blessing in disguise. We were introduced to Tonya and quickly fell in love with her work. She worked with us on a short notice to ensure we had the photos we wished for. We kept our wedding as a small elopement with only a few close family members and she blended in perfectly. My children adored her and she made the whole experience so enjoyable. We decided that she will be our photographer for all photos from now on!
