    Incredibly talented!

    Tonya did such an incredible job with our wedding photos!!! We are thrilled. She captured our special day beautifully and delivered an album that we can't stop looking at - they are such high-quality photos! Not only is she a talented photographer, but she was also so helpful during the planning process in giving us honest feedback on our timelines and shot list to ensure we were 100% comfortable with our plan. On the day of, she was very professional in navigating the flow of the day and making us feel totally at ease. Her assistant Michelle also did a wonderful job! Thank you so much!!

    Best vendor I hired!

    Tonya is the best! I'm so glad we hired her as our wedding photographer! She exceeded all my photo requests and got them back to us extremely quickly :) It was like a second wedding high looking through all the pictures! Book her quick!

    incredible!

    incredible value for a talented photographer! after combing through lots of options, she had some of the best photo composition, kept the true colors of the day without white-washing everything, and was a very reasonable price with great package options. we got our photos back and they are incredible--captured the emotions so well, had a great eye for a variety of stunning scenes for post-ceremony bride-groom portraits. We are not used to being photographed and had never met her before our wedding day but she put us right at ease. no second thoughts about picking Tonya as our wedding photographer :)

    Amazing wedding photos that captured the emotions and beauty of each moment from the wedding

    Tonya and her team were amazing!!!! They were fast, efficient, kind, patient, and the photos were absolutely stunning. She captured the emotions of the day within her shots, and I love looking back through pictures and reliving my wedding day. I would recommend Tonya Beaver Photography to everyone in need of beautiful photos, and I will definitely be going to her again in the future:)

    Wedding photographer

    Tonya is truly so talented and we are so grateful that she could capture our wedding day. Her energy is positive and upbeat and it truly was such an enjoyable experience having her as our photographer. I am blown away by the photos she captured and she has an eye for capturing candid moments. I am having a hard time deciding which photos are my favorite because there is so many that I love. I would recommend her a thousand times over.

    All-around Amazing!

    I would 100% recommend Tonya Beaver as your wedding photographer!! She was professional, communicative, and really attentive to what we were looking for in our elopement photos. And the photos – just WOW! Every one of them embodies the mood we were wanted, the only trouble is picking which ones to share. They’re all so beautiful. She also created an emotional video of the day that made our families cry (in the best way) and was prompt with sharing previews and the blog post while she edited the rest of the photos. Again, don’t sleep on your chance to book Tonya for your own photos, you won’t regret it!

    Special moments captured perfectly!

    Tonya Beaver photographed our wedding in December 2021 at Greyfield Inn in Cumberland Island, GA, & I highly recommend her. Tonya’s excitement to be apart of our special day shined through with every communication we shared with her. She was easy to communicate with, responsive, & working together felt like a true collaboration. She was invested in our timeline, ensuring she captured all the special moments & love ones we wanted! Our fairytale wedding at this Carnegie mansion was captured by Tonya with the perfect quality & professionalism to forever recall these beautiful moments! We can’t thank Tonya enough & look forward having her captured the next chapter in our lives.

    Working with Tonya is like working with your best friend. She makes everything so comfortable and easy. And to top it off- the pictures are GORGEOUS!!!! Wouldn't hire anyone else for professional photography. Love her soul, her professionalism, and her artistry. She rocked my wedding photos and so much more!!!

    Absolutely incredible!

    Tonya was incredible for our wedding in July 2020!! We rescheduled twice & changed locations (from Virginia to Florida) due to COVID, and then when our original photographer couldn't make it, I reached out to her THREE WEEKS PRIOR to my wedding. She responded immediately that she was available and the booking process was incredibly simple and she walked me through everything! The last weeks leading up to the wedding she helped with the timeline and everything to make sure nothing important got missed in the shuffle, and then day of she was INCREDIBLE!! It was almost like she wasn't even there, and when she did pose us for pictures it felt so natural and the pictures were AMAZING!! Seriously, if you want an excellent photographer that feels like family as soon as she walks in the door, choose Tonya!! She does spectacular work (my whole family and my in-laws have been raving about our wedding pictures for 2 months now and I don't think it'll ever stop, haha!)!

    I knew right away that Tonya was the right fit for our wedding. She was able to work with us while we were in CO and she was in FL, It was like she was right there with us the whole time. During the planning phase we were on the phone, emailing, texting and IMing to ensure everything was taken care of. She was great support and able to recommend a lot of great ideas. Tonya has a great personality and creativity to boot and is so much fun to work with. Our photos were so great and she really took time to capture every special moment. Tonya Beaver Photography is the only way to go for creative, professional photos. And for future photo needs we may just have to fly back down to FL.

    Outstanding photographer that executed our vision!

    I came across Tonya after many months of researching her work online and ‘stalking’ her social media accounts. From the first time I spoke with her on the phone to inquire her style many months before our wedding date, my gut knew that she was the right photographer for my wedding. From the start, she understood our overall vision and she was very responsive to my questions (both emails and phone calls). As a bride for the second time, I forced myself not to get lost in the many poses/inspiration boards on Pinterest for ‘must have’ pics and after meeting with Tonya in person sharing our love story, she truly captured our special intimate wedding day perfectly! She was extremely professional, punctual, she gave instruction well (without being pushy or losing her patience), and an she was an overall delight to work with on our wedding day (she even had spare bobby pins to help with my fly away updo hair). She provided 450+ digital photos along with a short video in the timeframe promised (4 weeks after wedding), which were hands down outstanding and professionally done! I highly recommend hiring Tonya as your next wedding photographer! -Annette

    Photographer

    Tonya was truly amazing from start to finish! She has an unbievable eye to capture the most intimate moments that brought everyone that watched our picture video slideshow to tears! Our pictures were very important to use due to the fact that all of my husband's family lives in Europe. Our wedding was the 1st time, and will probably be the only time, that both sides of our families met and will be together again all at the same time. So her capturing our moments with them all was one of the most important parts of or wedding day. She nailed it and truly is so very talented and just amazing to work with. I would recommend her to anyone looking to capture the most beautiful memories for any special occasion. Top notch lady!

    epic beach wedding photos

    Tonya was so easy to work with and she knew exactly what we were looking for in our photos. She brought a smile and energy to the day. She captured some amazing moments with us and with our guests! She was able to capture the real moments of the day and we loved every shot!

    Exceptional Photography with a personal touch.

    Tonya never ceases to amaze me with the quality of work she constantly produces. There is no right moment right time here. Tonya makes the moment come alive and captures it so you can remember it forever. There was no awkwardness or pressure during the entire shoot. Felt very natural and it all flowed from start to finish. If you want magazine cover photo quality for your special occasion I highly recommend Tonya Beaver Photography.

    Talented, professional & a joy to work with

    To say we loved our wedding photos would be an understatement. Tonya listened to what we wanted and we got exactly that. She communicated before, the day of and shortly after the wedding we had hundreds of beautifully edited photos that brought me to tears when I first saw them. Her eye is impeccable and I would highly recommend her to anyone for any occasion.

    Tonya captures the special moments!

    Our daughter was married this past May. In reflection, Tonya was everything we could have hoped for! She was helpful in the planning stages & had so many valuable ideas. This was our first wedding to plan and she was always there was a great idea or recommendation. When down to the last couple of days before the wedding, she was organized and supportive. As the MOB, you need your photographer to be prepared...and she is! On our special day, Tonya was the most incredible person you could want capturing all the special moments. She has priceless ability to capture the unspoken moments, things you can't specifically "ask" her to get. It's as if she is that long lost best friend that knows what moments will melt your heart in a photo! And even with her fun & relaxed vibe, she keeps everyone on target and on time! She's a treasure!

    Awesome experience

    Photography is such an integral part of a once in a lifetime event. Tonya is quite remarkable at the art of photography. You will very much appreciate her warm and calming nature thru what some describe as a stressful event. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. Highly highly recommend!!!

    Love, love love! Super happy couple here!

    So so thankful I found Tonya for our engagement and wedding photos! There's a reason why she's so loved when you look for photographers in our area - it's because she's THAT great! We chose Tonya for our engagement and wedding photos, and we honestly just couldn't be happier! My now husband and I both thought we were going to look "super awkward" not knowing how to pose - but Tonya assured us that she had that under control for us and we had nothing to worry about... that our job was just to have fun with it. Other than certain family/formal shots for the wedding day, I'm thankful we also let her run with what she felt would work great for our engagement and wedding pictures - she's the expert and came up with ideas for photos that I wouldn't have ever thought of! She's super sweet and responsive, was detailed about all our options, helpful in coming up with a timeline for the wedding day, plus much more. She even helped me get all of the family under control because a few showed up later and our timeline ran off from the start - she got us back on track and still got us the pictures that she knew we'd want to have. Also, if you love light she is so great at having an eye for finding it! We took a quick detour to a nearby pond that would help catch a sunset I would have totally missed for our engagement pics... those particular pics I call "our Nicolas Sparks book cover pics" because that's what they look like with the lighting she caught :) As a hard core researcher when it comes to pretty much everything, I love to write reviews especially when things are great like this! If you decide to go with Tonya you can rest assured you're in great hands for any type of pictures (she also does sweet baby pics!). If you also don't know what kind of shots to ask for, trust her to let her run with it because she just knows what you'll wish you had later! My husband is very hard to impress and hard to get a reaction from, and he was really impressed by Tonya and her talent too!! Another happy couple here!!! Will definitely be recommending her to anyone we know looking for pictures!!!

    Magical memories

    Tonya was amazing! So was so accommodating and made us feel so comfortable during both our engagement photos as well as our wedding/reception. Her bright spirit and sense of humor made all the time fly by. The amount of time taken to develop our photographs was also incredible. I am new to this whole wedding planning thing - as I think most people are :) My one piece of advise would be to write your photograph wishlist as Tonya describes in her emails. I missed that - it helps everyone stay on the same page and understand everyone's wishes and expectations. We would definitely recommend Tonya for future projects.

    Absolutely Amazing!

    Tonya is absolutely amazing! She was there for the proposal, giving us the most beautiful pictures on such a special day. She took amazing engagement pictures, where I wasn't in complete shock anymore! So of course, she was there for our big wedding day! She is the most incredible photographer! She kept us laughing through it all, but kept us all in line to make sure we got all the pictures we would want, and still have time to have fun with our family and friends. She made the wedding day an absolute dream - catching the most amazing pictures and having such a bubbly personality to keep it fun for everyone! Thank you Tonya for making the night a dream come true!! We can't express our gratitude for everything you have done for us throughout our engagement and wedding!

    Best Decision Ever

    Tonya was absolutely amazing. She was very easy to communicate with before and after the event. Day of, she did a great job keeping the group organized, kept us relaxed the entire day and was flexible in taking the pictures we wanted. All of this hard work has shown in the pictures. I would recommend her to everyone!

    All we wanted and more...

    Tonya is incredible! Her eye for detail and passion for giving each couple a personalized experience is unmatched. My husband and I were so impressed with what we saw at our consultation that we decided to only specify a few shots and then give her free reign to really be creative and take our photos in the moment. Her and her assistant joked and laughed with us, made the day fun and worked so efficiently together. Truly made us feel like we were the only two people in the whole world. Tonya captured so many amazing moments -even taking the time to get a photo of me wrapped up in my veil with my beloved 21 year old cat at the last minute. I have only seen a few shots so far, but I am in love with every single one and can't wait to see the rest. Tonya is the one to call if you're looking for photos to treasure for a lifetime.
