This experience was written by photographer and Weddings of Pittsburgh marketing coordinator Connor Marshman.
Over the years I have had the opportunity to work with many wedding planners as a photographer, but my recent experience with Tonya Edinger truly stood out from the rest. The bride-to-be was Tanisha. I really appreciated how Tonya showed special attention to Tanisha and her needs. You could really see the love, care and passion that Tonya had for her job and her client!
When I met up with Tonya on the big day, she was already deep in the details of the wedding – ensuring that every single thing was just right. She had worked tirelessly with Tanisha and her family to make sure that the wedding was perfect, and it showed. Every detail, from the intricate decorations to the uplighting seemed to be just right.
Tonya’s energy and enthusiasm is infectious. I honestly don’t know how she does it all. She was everywhere handling the run of show and making sure that every detail was accounted for. Her husband even handled the officiant duties when Tanisha’s previous officiant cancelled at the last minute.
One of the things that impressed me the most about Tonya was her ability to balance the couple’s vision with her own expertise. Tanisha had a clear idea of what she wanted her wedding to look and feel like, and Tonya worked tirelessly to make that vision a reality. At the same time, Tonya knew how to offer suggestions and ideas that would enhance the overall experience for everyone involved.
Another thing that impressed me about Tonya is that she was calm in the midst of chaos, making sure everything was running smoothly and on time. Her attention to detail was evident in every aspect of the event, from the table settings to the timing of the speeches. I could tell that Tanisha and Puma were able to relax and enjoy their day knowing that Tonya had everything under control.
As a photographer, it’s always a pleasure to work with a wedding planner who truly understands the importance of capturing the perfect shot. Tonya was always aware of where I was and what I was doing, and made sure that I had access to all the best locations and angles. She even helped me coordinate the family portraits, which can often be a challenging task!
Overall, my experience working with Tonya Edinger was nothing short of amazing. She made the entire process of capturing the wedding a joy, and her attention to detail and creative approach made the day even more special. I would highly recommend Tonya to any couple looking for a full service wedding planner who truly cares about their vision and knows how to make it a reality.
Working with Tonya also made me realize how important it is for a photographer and wedding planner to work together as a team. When both parties are invested in making the day a success, the results are truly spectacular. I look forward to working with Tonya again in the future and capturing more beautiful weddings together!
