When planning our destination wedding in Florida we knew that hiring a great photographer was a priority for us. We knew the day would pass quickly and that having wonderful pictures to memorialize our wedding would be something we would cherish forever & that was very important to us.
We selected Tonya Malay Photography and we could not be happier!! Tonya is an Award Winning Photographer who takes her craft very seriously and whose mission is to capture your day as you wish. We spoke to many qualified photographers (& there were several), but Tonya really stood out from the start & we knew quickly that she was the best fit for us.
Tonya is organized, professional, communicates well (& regularly) and her priority is capturing your vision, which she accomplished beautifully!
We chose her services for 5 hours with 2 photographers, in order to capture all the special moments happening with us and around us. It worked out really well and we have 900 beautiful pics to tell the story of our wedding!! We absolutely love ALL of them!! Tonya spent a great deal of time selecting the best photos to present to us and even took the time to make minor photo enhancements, so the final result was just… WOW!!
Also, we met with Tonya for an engagement session a couple of months prior to our wedding so we could get to know her. This was a good move as it allowed us to become comfortable with Tonya & her style and vice versa. We think this made a significant difference in how our wedding pics turned out. I highly suggest you take the opportunity to have a quick 30 minute session prior to your wedding (with whomever you choose to use). We got to know Tonya and got some great pics in the process!

In addition, Tonya was very helpful and willing to make suggestions and provide recommendations that made planning from out-of-town so much easier. She provided great stylists & make-up recommendations that we took and helped us with our venue selection. And let me tell you, Tonya is well known and highly regarded in the SW FL wedding community - everyone we met was very complementary of her work, which made us feel like we definitely made the best choice in going with Tonya and her team.

We highly recommend Tonya for any wedding- big or small, indoors and out- doors - Tonya is an expert in all scenarios! Her pricing is reasonable and her skills are highly developed. As they say, she has an eye for that perfect picture! If you are looking for a seasoned professional for your wedding pictures who truly takes the time to scout out the best places at your venue, to take the most fantastic pictures -Tonya Malay should be at the top of your list!! She is easy to work with, experienced which will keep you organized and on track to accomplish the wedding album of your dreams. She’ll capture your special day the way you envision and provide you pictures that will make you smile for a lifetime! A timely, organized, experienced, professional who will put you at ease the moment you meet her and is simply a joy!! Tonya Malay Photography is one of best- You cannot go wrong by hiring Tonya & her team. Give her a look!

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!

Tanya and Michael were the perfect duo for our wedding! Tanya made sure the day was perfectly planned ahead of time which allowed us to capture all the special moments at multiple locations without being stressed about time. We are so thankful for her professionalism and beautiful talents which gave us the most amazing memories of our special day.
