What sealed the deal for me was their great pricing AND the fact that they actually interact with people via social media. That's huge for me. A week or so before our arrival I was freaking about pairing outfits for my husband and me. They quickly responded on a weekend and I was so grateful. We had our photos done Friday evening. They suggested cute poses for us and even took a few solo. Maggie was nearby and fixing my crazy hair (it really has a mind of its own) and my accessories so everything looked together. My link came over quick with access to see them all and OMG I'm in love. I haven't been able to message them yet (sorry guys) to tell them how happy we are, but I sure will be ordering their digital release as soon as we are back on the ground. I recommend them to anyone. We had a fantastic experience and I seriously am in awe by their work. Thanks Ryan and Maggie! PS - Book one of their boat outings too. We didn't because we ran out of time, but it's on the list for next time!

However, not being from Alabama we were a bit nervous to chose a photographer just based on Facebook and online reviews.

From the very beginning, the professionalism and communication with Rebecca was top notch. There was a little scare with some flight delays and we were afraid my dad might not make it in time for our session and Rebecca kept in touch and gave us options (it all worked out, but it was a relief to know that she was willing to accommodate us). The photos turned out SO well! The colors were gorgeous and she captured both of my children's personalities. There was a big storm the afternoon of our session and Rebecca assured me that after the storm clouds pass, the lighting makes for gorgeous photos and she wasn't kidding- the sunset was absolutely stunning!

YOU HAVE FOUND THE BEST ON THE GULF COAST!…read more Tammy and Jason are the most personable yet professional photographer duo you will ever find. Given my love of photography, my wife put me in charge of finding the perfect photographer for our wedding. We interviewed A LOT of respectable photographers along the Gulf Coast and reviewed just about everyone's portfolio in detail. I could not have been happier with our decision. Tammy and Jason have this down to a true art. Tammy has a lot of fun with the babies and making them smile while Jason is scanning the group to make sure people are visible and in flattering positions. They do it so seamlessly. Our formal portraits were a blast! They are so engaging and fun for all three events they did for us. You can tell this is not just a job for them, but they live and love this life. Their equipment is also top notch. Between the cameras (and backup cameras), the lighting, and their comm system they will not only take great pictures, but help you and the coordinator to make sure your wedding is PERFECT. Their price is very fair. They are not the cheapest, but they are the best. When your wedding is over and you are sharing stories with your growing family, the photos is what you will have. Honest to goodness some of the photos we got back could be covers to wedding magazines. I can't wait to use them again for our baby pictures when the time comes. You know you picked the right vendor when your friends and family are raving about them months after the event... "Worth every penny!", "Such amazing people." Our wedding was perfect and it was in part due to Jason and Tammy.

Tonya did a great job with our family for a beach session this past July (2012) near Ft. Morgan,…read moreAL. She was great with the kids. She was great with the family as a whole, and did a great job with the photos. Overall, we were pleased with her work. I gave her a lower score because I felt like she was not necessarily savvy when it came to technology. For example, we had to deliver a cashier's check at the beginning instead of being able to use many of the numerous online payment methods. That method of payment definitely favors her but not the consumer. I feel as if she could have received her money and ensured payment through Paypal, and would have cut down on the inconvenience of getting a cashier's check on our end. Secondly, she uses Smugmug photo site (expensive!). It's a great and secure site for photographers, but it's not not good for consumers (not much integration with social apps or other picture sites). I believe she gets a percentage of photos developed through their service because she discouraged us from using other sites like Walgreens, Costco because of apparently diminished quality. You might get away with saying that ten years ago but really not today. Sure, Smugmug delivers a lot of great packages and does awesome large portrait pictures, but we just wanted photos to pass around and maybe get a few framed. I asked about her uploading files to Walgreens, Costco and we would use her approval letter to get them developed, but she didn't respond to those requests. Thirdly, the watermarks. Her watermarks largely obscure the photos in Smugmug. She said it was because of other photographers stealing her work, but Smugmug included tight security that disabled the ability to download or save pictures to other media. It's also a flash site, so it was very hard to access from an iPad or iPhone. Tonya's prices are low and she does a great job, but be prepared to shell out a lot of money for Smugmug photos if you can't wait to get the cd of pictures in the mail. Happily, we received our photos on three separate cds with letters of approval for development. I would recommend Tonya if you are looking at someone who is professional and a good photographer, but not concerned about viewing pictures on your computer, iPad or sharing with friends over email. If you are like me and my family, we love to look at most of our pictures on our computer devices and sometimes get them developed, but this is not as common with us, and I imagine most people today. Fortunately, she delivered high-quality photos on cds so we got the product we wanted eventually.

During a trip to Gulf Shores in June, we engaged Tonya DeAnda Photography to take family…read morephotographs on the beach. There were four adults and three children, ages 9, 11, and 14. Tonya did a wonderful job of setting up the shots, corralling the folks who were excited by the sand and water, and those that tended to wander. She gave clear directions on how to reach the site, and made excellent suggestions as to what to wear. She even made modifications for one of our group who was mobility impaired. We had problems with our mail delivery system which caused us to fail to receive our discs with our images. Tonya went the extra mile to set up our gallery so that we could download our pictures. She never lost patience with our many questions, with our mail problems, or with the extra work she had to do to get our photographs to us. And after all of that, our images were excellent. So nice to have our memories for future reference. Tonya, you made me smile. Thank you.
