WALLINGFORD PORTRAITS & WEDDINGS LET’S CONNECT: 07876 293 377, www.wallingfordportraits.co.uk www.facebook.com/Wallingfordportraits Photographer and proprietor of Wallingford Portraits & Weddings, Tonja Fritz-Johnson, is a wedding, portrait, commercial and pet photographer based in Oxfordshire. “Does size matter? The pandemic has no doubt brought about a change of thinking for many couples who have had to scale back their day and opt for either smaller weddings or accept multiple, long postponements.” - Tonja “I have had the chance, and privilege, to photograph large and small weddings both pre-pandemic and during the restrictions and people enjoy themselves whatever the size of the guest list.” - Tonja “Often I hear that with larger weddings, the couple did not have the chance to speak to everyone and that the day is over so quickly, but it mattered to them to have everybody there.”- Tonja “From couples who recently opted for a smaller wedding, I hear that they appreciated the intimate and relaxed day that they were able to have, with the decision made for them about how many guests to invite.” - Tonja “Despite the restrictions, many couples still thought creatively about how to celebrate and what they wanted to do, rather than sticking to traditions. As a photographer, it’s always great to see everyone’s ideas come to life!” - Tonja “I believe there are only three important things that need to be in place to achieve the best wedding photographs. Most importantly, you’re marrying the person you love. Secondly, that you have fun on the day and also that I, as the photographer, get to spend time with you both creating amazing wedding photographs that will remind you of a fantastic day for many years to come.” - Tonja PHOTOGRAPHY 59 
