TOONEY

and STORYTELLER

I photograph weddings for couples who care deeply about the experience and want photographs that look as good as the day felt.

HI, I'M 
PHOTOGRAPHER, 
OBSERVER,

A LITTLE ABOUT ME

VIEW OUR OFFERINGS

I’ve always been drawn to the moments happening just outside the frame—the nervous hand squeeze, the friend already crying, the champagne spilled five minutes into the reception. Those are often the photographs that matter most.

My approach combines documentary storytelling with an editorial point of view. I’ll guide you when direction will make the photograph stronger, fix the little things before you ever notice them, and step back when the moment is already perfect on its own.

I want you to be fully present at your wedding, not spending the day performing for my camera. You’ll receive photographs with style, emotion, and enough honesty to bring you straight back to it.

I’ve been a photographer for over a decade. While living in the Philippines, my sister and I opened a boudoir studio together. But it was after my dad passed away in 2022 that I decided to devote myself fully to weddings.

My dad was a talented painter. He taught me to see beauty in everything, and I carry that with me every time I pick up a camera. I still wish I had more photographs of him—not just the occasions when everyone stopped and smiled, but the quiet, ordinary moments that felt so ordinary at the time.

That’s what I hope to give the people I photograph: a way to return to how it all felt, and to remember the people who made the day theirs.

about

A photographer drawn to the interplay of light and shadow—and the quiet gestures, fleeting glances, and beautifully unguarded moments found in between.
