Working with Toni was such a great experience!! She was very easy going, Very easy to work with! She did not at all give orders and treat the model like a robot (like alot of LA photographers ), she just went with the flow and stood back and did her magic!! The pictures were AMAZING!! She has an eye for detail and exquisite beauty definatly reflected in her pictures.

She knows just how to handle any situation thrown at her.

I would love to work with her again any day of the week!

We were looking for an affordable photographer who specialized in photojournalistic shots for our wedding in July of '06.  We didn't want fancy albums, or ten sizes of family poses, just good candid pictures that we can point to and laugh when we're old and stinky.  After reviewing Toni's portfolio, we liked her work, her prices, and her promise to deliver a cd with all our negatives, but we were still a little reluctant because she worked out of her house.  

On our wedding day, she showed up on time, unintrusive, made our guests comfortable, shot about 250 pix, stayed about four hours, and sent us our pix within three weeks.  We really were delighted with her candid pictures along with the posed ones.  We were able to send pictures of almost everyone with our thank-you cards.   Our photos were as good as the ones we saw in her portfolio and we were very pleased.   Maybe the only drawback would be that she worked solo with us, so sometimes at certain moments in a small area, she can only get certain angles.  That really is more a logistical thing than any criticism of her work.  She was a pleasure to work with!

Toni was such a joy to work with and I actually found her through Yelp.  Our wedding had a lot of logistics involved including an hour car ride from ceremony to reception location. Toni went with the flow, was totally punctual with everything and captured all the most special moments of our wedding from start to finish.  

I just got the pictures today and I can't decide which are frame worthy because there are just too many.  I did a lot of research online to find the best "valued" photographer for the money and she stood out in different reviews.  She really caught the essence of our relationship through our wedding day.  She also made sure to get beautiful pictures of the surrounding areas that are works of art on their own.  I can't speak highly enough of her work and how professional she is... the last thing you want to worry about on your wedding day are vendors that you don't get along with and aren't trying to make things go smoothly.    You can also give her direction as to the vibe and style of photography you are looking for and she will follow that to a tee while still optimizing the shot.  I have heard horror stories where photographers decided to tell "stories" of the couple with staged photography that the bride and groom didn't want.   Toni is the opposite of that sort of photographer! She does a lot of photojournalism and managed to get the group shots out of the way as quickly as possible.  She picks your brain to make sure she captures the style of photographs you want.   She's also very reasonably priced for an LA photographer.  Bravo Toni!

We really appreciate how Toni brought this sense of fun and ease to our wedding.  It made for beautiful pictures that were effortless.  Or it seemed effortless.  She really captured our personalities and the joy that was at the wedding.  Everyone really loves the photos.  

Toni also spent extra time with us meeting as many times as we needed  to discuss the various questions we had and also spent extra time at the wedding.  We really appreciated that! It takes real love and talent to do the work that she does.

Toni was GREAT!  We were able to schedule her at the last minute.  She arrived on time, kept a very low profile (so we all felt like 'ourselves'), and knew when I was getting worn out from the picture taking.  She did some candid shots that came out great, and had funny ideas for the photos.  She sent a CD within a few days that I was able to upload onto Flikr and let everyone see what beautiful photos she'd taken.
