I'm Tooney! I was born and raised in the Philippines and now call Northern California home. I've been a photographer for over a decade, and one of my favorite parts of this work is making people feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera. I know being photographed doesn't come naturally to everyone, and I don't expect it to. I'll give you direction, fix the stray hair, straighten the outfit, and help you feel like yourself — so you can stop thinking about the camera and enjoy your wedding day.

Awarded Best of Zola
“Run, don’t walk! My husband and I had the most amazing experience working with Tooney. She is incredibly talented, and kind, her warmth radiates into her photography. My husband and I decided to elope with very short notice and she was able to accommodate us even when leaving town for a big gig on the weekend. We also don’t have experience posing much and she was so skilled at giving us direction. But most importantly it just felt like fun! My husband (who hates taking pictures) said “We got the best photographer possible, she made this so fun”. We got our sneak peeks in just 2 days and we are so ecstatic about the gallery we got. We plan to do a bigger celebration with extended family and friends and will absolutely reach out to Tooney again. You’re in great hands with her!”

We believe flowers are only part of the story. The most meaningful celebrations leave people feeling welcomed, connected, and cared for. Through trusted guidance and thoughtful collaboration, we make the floral planning process feel relaxed, joyful, and beautifully personal

“Lynda was an absolute dream to work with, and I truly cannot recommend 5 Daughters Design enough. From our very first conversation, Lynda was incredibly thoughtful, creative, and genuinely invested in bringing my wedding vision to life. Lynda designed all of our wedding florals and signage, and she was exceptionally hands-on throughout the entire planning process. We met several times over video call, where she took the time to walk through every detail imaginable, and even created mock-ups to help me visualize the overall look. She listened carefully to my design ideas, offered thoughtful recommendations, and made me feel completely confident that every element would come together beautifully for our wedding. One of the things that meant the most to me was Lynda’s willingness to incorporate sentimental flowers that was special to me and my family. That personal touch made the experience feel so much more meaningful. When I saw everything come together on our wedding day, I was absolutely blown away. The floral arrangements were stunning, the signage was beautifully designed, and every detail exceeded my expectations. Everything felt cohesive, elegant, and perfectly reflected the romantic, whimsical atmosphere we had envisioned. The flowers truly transformed our venue and played such a significant role in making our wedding day feel magical. Beyond her incredible talent, Lynda is kind, patient, responsive, and truly passionate about what she does. If you're looking for someone who will treat your wedding with the same care and attention as if it were her own, I wholeheartedly recommend 5 Daughters Design. I will forever be grateful for the beauty Lynda created and the unforgettable memories she helped make possible on our special day. Thank you, 5 Daughters Design!”

My husband, Tyler, joins me as our videographer, bringing the same warm, storytelling-driven style to every celebration.

“Ethereal, candid, jovial, refined are some of the buzzwords that the images of our oak tree & hanging lights, spring evening, 100 person ranch wedding brings to mind. Carissa made sure to get an idea of our and our family's priorities and vision for our wedding day photography months in advance. As the day approached she nailed down specifics of timing and herding those dear to us to capture everything we wanted! She has an eye for catching family dynamics, sweet background moments, and her whole team is quick to drop to the floor to get the perfect golden hour angle, play with long exposure, or get some kids laughing! They coordinated wonderfully with our other vendors throughout the day on things like equipment positioning and audio capture. We knew we would love any photos of us as a couple on the happiest day of our lives, but the width of their professional and personal vision for the whole picture is what truly captured our hearts.

Growing up on our ranch I was surrounded by beautiful sights and sounds, hearing horses knickering as they unloaded out of the trailer as if saying “good morning, lets get to work.” Huge oak trees creaking in the wind. Thunder storms cracking over head while driving 200 head of wild steers to winter pasture. Sunrises filtered with dust, as convoys of horse trailers bumped along dirt roads. I wanted to document and share these experiences and thats what lead me to photography. For the past 15 years I have documented 100's of weddings. It truly is the only thing you have left after the wedding and I take that so seriously.
