thanks for stopping by!
Hey there!
I’m Toni- aka your newest friend, the girl behind the camera, and a professional third wheeler. I am SO happy you found yourself here on my site! I'm a wedding and portrait photographer based in Philadelphia, PA. I've been shooting weddings since I was in 10th grade (before I ever had my driver’s license!). My heart and soul come alive when I photograph the beauty of human connection in its truest, rawest form.
My approach feels:
warm, collaborative,
+ authentic
Now let me really tell you about me. People inspire me. YOU inspire me.
Every one of my clients has inspired me to do the very thing I do- capture and create. And I want to capture your story, because it deserves to be known and celebrated! I've grown to know this about myself when it comes to photography: my favorite style is a blend of documentary & journalism... the kind that takes you back and makes you feel apart of the moment the photo was actually captured in. The type that TELLS A STORY… your story. I love capturing the type of images that really capture YOU, because every love story and person is unique and beautifully made. And I want to be your friend while I capture these kind of images for you. This is not about getting the perfect instagram photo or editing the heck out of the images or the perfect pose, this is about you and your love. I am here to serve you in this way. In fact, I LIVE for it. I’m a little biased, but I think that means that I actually have the BEST job on earth.
Beauty is in everyone, in everything, and everywhere because we were made by a beautiful Creator. I believe that is Jesus and I live to bring HIS name glory through doing what I love most: being with His creations and capturing it.
Some things I love:
a little about
my life
01
This is my sweet
husband, Brett.
Isn’t he a cutie? We’ve known each other ever since we were in kindergarden! Our families were so close growing up, we used to spend holidays and take trips together. It wasn’t until mid-college when we reconnected after high school and became good friends again. And the rest is history! We started dating in 2017 and got married on September 22, 2019! TRULY THE best day of our lives!
02
These are our people!
Each and every single person standing by us for our wedding day has stood by us as a couple through the greatest joys and hardest trials in our relationship. We are so thankful for these peeps for making our lives full of color, joy, and laughter! They seriously are all the funniest people I’ve ever met, which made our wedding day even that much better because with them, it’s always a blast!
03
This is my family.
I have two brothers (on the ends) who are two of my best friends in the world. I love that we’re all at the point in life now where we can actually be friends and want to hang out with each other, it’s such a gift! And my parents- they are the reason I am who I am today. Their love, support, and generosity have shaped every one of us in this photo for the better. They have raised me to love Jesus, run a business that is pleasing to the Lord, and to put others first. Don’t know where I’d be without our little family!
04
This is my family 2.0.
To be honest, my whole life I prayed and prayed and DREAMED of having a second family- my husband’s family- like this. I never thought in my wildest dreams I would get to be THIS blessed with not one, but TWO families who are HOME for me and Brett. I am veryyyy close with both of our families, and that’s one of the sweetest gifts I’ve ever received from Jesus. I’m a lucky girl to get to now call these people my family, too!
The feeling of warm sunlight and salt water on my skin
