Documenting Wedding & Family Photography in Minnesota, West Michigan & Worldwide

Portrait of Tonya Hjort, owner of Tonya Hjort Photography

Hi, Iā€™m Tonyaā€”

photographer, wife, & mother

Iā€™m a wedding and family photographer based in Minneapolis, serving Minnesota, West Michigan, and destination locations. Over the past ten years, Iā€™ve photographed more than 200 weddings and countless families, always with the same goal in mind: to document your story honestly and beautifully.

My style is a blend of fine art and photojournalism. Iā€™m drawn to emotion, movement, and connection. The hugs. The laughter. The quiet in-between moments that become the ones you hold onto.

Whether Iā€™m photographing your wedding, your engagement, or a session at home with your kids, I want your images to feel natural and lasting.

INQUIRE HERE

ā€œTonya was AMAZING! I truly cannot say enough good things. She executed the vision we were going for, she kept the guys in line, and was so kind and easy to work with.

From the first meeting she was easy to work with and she sent such an adorable gift box. She made sure to get all the shots we wanted, and had us some sneak peaks before she even left the venue that night. I highly recommend her!ā€

A Personal Look Into the Tonya Hjort Photography Experience

No two sessions are the same, which is why I take time to understand what matters most to you. Iā€™m here to guide you through the process with clear communication and thoughtful support, so you can feel fully present from start to finish.

Clients often tell me they forgot the camera was even there. Thatā€™s the goal! I want you to feel relaxed, taken care of, and completely yourself.

Whether weā€™re working together for your wedding day, a family session, or something in between, you can trust that your memories are in good hands.
