KIND WORDS
“This lady not only put me at ease but was amazing to work with. I was on a bridal hair & makeup portfolio day and she was thinking out of the box for all the pictures she took, and showed me different angles from the camera so i could see the process. She brought so much creativity to the room!”
— Natalie Hair & MUA // November 2024

“Toni has such a lovely warmth about her, and spent the morning with my bridesmaids and I, where she genuinely felt like another friend in the room. We didn’t feel like we were ‘on show’ or having our photos taken at any point. She went above and beyond at numerous points through the day.
In terms of the photos: they tell the unique story of our wedding day, and capture so many moments and emotions beautifully. The quality, thoughtfulness and composition of the images is breathtaking!
She was utterly professional, but utterly human and lovely at the same time and that’s the element that has stayed with me the most! ”
— E & M // May 2023

“ Toni is the best photographer I have ever worked with. I’m a content creator so I’ve been on shoots with plenty of people, but Toni has the amazing ability to make you feel comfortable and at ease, give you direction so you always know what you’re doing and work with you to create whatever creative vision you have in mind!
Couldn’t recommend her enough.”
— Fern Freud // April 2023
“ My horses were on high alert the day of the shoot after being kept off the field due to bad weather for a couple of days, so not easy to work with, but you wouldn’t know it from the photos. I normally dislike being photographed but Toni made me feel totally at ease and I now have some stunning images of my animals to keep forever. ”

“Toni is an amazing photographer, and have worked together on many different projects for my business. From a Peter Rabbit themed kids party where Toni managed to get fantastic, candid photos of 15 little kids aged between 2 - 4 years old. The kids loved her. She also does product shots for my catering business and is my number one go to photographer whenever I have something that I want expertly captured on camera. She gets all the good behind the scenes shots and I love her editing style. If you hire Toni for any event that you want captured you will not be disappointed as you will end up with stunning images. Highly recommended! ”
— Michelle // Gracefully Grazing June 2022
“ These are unbelievable!
I honestly don’t know how you do it.
I was so worried we wouldn’t look as good as all your other customers and I’d have fat wonky eared ponies with a frumpy owner, but you’ve made them look everything I could ever imagine and I LOVE how you’ve caught the horses and dogs expressions”
— Nicki Thorne // June 2022
“I was honoured to spend a wet rainy Sunday at the beach with Toni and my two Arab horses Zorro and Flash , we had an amazing time laughing and forgetting that it was even raining.
Toni was absolutely fantastic with myself and my horses; helping to get them ready, letting them adjust to their surroundings and not to mention that she was even helping me get ready with all the clothes changes and putting all the styles together.
She really made my dreams come true and the pictures are incredible, telling a story and I just love that . I can’t wait for another one.
Thankyou Toni for an incredible day and for my beautiful pictures ❤️”
— Kate, Zorro & Flash // April 2022

“ I’ve had the privilege to work with Cuttlebone Photography on multiple photoshoots…the experience is just incredible. Toni is very knowledgeable and artistic in her work and the photographs are beautiful and flawless.
We’ve used many locations around Sussex including Arundel, Cissbury Ring and the seafront; all very unusual shoot locations but we’ve had so much fun creating together. Toni is extremely hard working and delivers the photos back beautifully and professionally edited.
I have a lot of respect for Toni. She has become a friend and I look forward to working with her for many years to come.”
— Bethany // February 2022

— Laura // January 2022
“Toni and I have been collaborating on several different projects over the last year and I’m never disappointed with the process or the results. Toni is brilliant at making her subjects feel at ease and relaxed, coaxing smiles and laughs that she captures effortlessly!
We usually discuss before what images we are trying to achieve so everyone knows what to expect. Sometimes though it’s better to give Toni a free rein but either way the pictures are beautiful and perfectly mastered in the edit and delivered not too soon after.
Couldn’t recommend her services more highly”
— Caroline // Findon Place 2021
“Absolutely wonderful lady!

“
Thanking Toni for such beautiful photos and an amazing experience for our daughter are words that don’t seem gratuitous enough. During the shoot she really made Natasha and her horse so relaxed, comfortable and confident. She made the shoot a fabulous experience with her infectious smile and her calm persona. At no time did we ever feel rushed, even with several outfit changes, various locations and breaks for our horse. We also need to say a special thank you for her gentle handling and hands on assistance with our sensitive boy. Her knowledge and love of equines was gratefully appreciated. Toni listened and captured not only our daughters request for the vogue type shoots, but she also captured her personality and sparkle that we requested as parents.
We would not hesitate to recommend Toni to all, and are already planning a winter riding shoot. So pleased we found such a professional. Thank you for capturing our future memories so beautifully. ”
— Jules and Steve // Natasha & Cousteau 2020
“Toni was such a professional on my equine photo shoot.
She understood the special relationship I have with my equine love and captured it perfectly.
I never imagined such memories could be captured so naturally, with just a few quiet suggestions from her.
Natural Light, nature's backdrop, delightful company... a trio that guaranteed the superb results I was so pleased with.
Thankyou Toni for everything, I would recommend a session to anyone that will capture your memories and warm your heart'“

“My husband and I were lucky enough to have a shoot with Toni whilst we were in the height of lockdown when she was documenting lockdown lives by shooting families outside their homes to freeze frame this time in history. She captured us along with two of our cats on our doorstep. Toni is lovely, we’d never met before but she made us feel totally at ease and the photos we’re just beautiful, she really caught the best of us. I will definitely be booking in for another shoot and would thoroughly recommend”

She is a wonderful photographer who makes an otherwise shy & reluctant subject feel at ease & relaxed - safe in her capable hands.

Highly recommend for a relaxed, natural shoot with stunning results, definite photos for the walls!”

Toni managed to set interesting scenes and create the most exciting, beautiful pictures. She used her skills as a photographer and knowledge and energy from being in the dance world herself.
We’ve had 2 more shoots with some truly stunning photographs that have been admired by many.
It really is her passion and experience that is so evident in her work!”

She engaged with my small son (having children of her own, she understands small children don’t pose!) and I am booking up with her again to get some updated shots. Beautiful pictures and fond memories of our shoot. Can’t wait for the next one! ”

“Thank you so much Toni for such a lovely morning shooting photographs of my daughters and dogs. Because of your easygoing, yet professional approach, it allowed you to capture the true essence of the girl’s personalities on camera. I’m thrilled with the results and it’s lovely to know that generations of our family will see a captured moment of Jess and Issy in the summer of 2017. I will definitely call you for any future photo shoots and will recommend you to everyone. I can’t thank you enough.”
— Jess & Issy 2017
“You were my little miracle on my wedding day. Two of the bridesmaid dresses fell apart and somehow amid taking a range of photos of a surprisingly calm bride you got your seeing kit to the two dresses, and managed to keep the mother of the bride from hysteria!
I can't say enough great things about you. If anyone is looking for a photographer who is able to mix artistic, contemporary, staged and off-guard, natural photos and capture their most beautiful moments, I guarantee they won't be disappointed choosing you.
Thanks again FOR EVERYTHING!!”
