| - Tonya is the quintessential event/lifestyle photographer. She knows how to capture each moment with energy and flair.
We met Tonya when we were looking for a wedding photographer. I was adamant about NOT wanting engagement shots - just wanted the small, simple ceremony recorded for posterity, etc. But Tonya talked us into having engagement shots, much to my trepidation. I'm not exactly modelesque, and tend to have an abundance of awkward photos of myself. I don't even smile properly in photos, so I was less than enthusiastic about posing and having to look "cute."
Oh Tonya...allaying my many fears, she photographed her way into my heart and we ended up with brilliant engagement shots in which our quirkiness and relationship shined. One of the reasons she prescribed an engagement shoot for us was so she would be able to get comfortable with us (and vice versa), and to see if there were any super weird aspects to our aesthetic that she would have to address when shooting the wedding.
When it came to the wedding itself, she was totally in the mix with the crowd, capturing photos of our many friends, family and (yes, really) wedding crashers. Her professionalism is matched by her effusive personality, and she brings out the party in everyone.
We had an incredible experience with Tonya and recommend her to anyone who even mentions getting married or needing event photography. She makes Charlotte a better and brighter place, and delivers top notch photos every time.
5 stars and nothing less. I wish I could give her 6.
