Life is a collection of moments, strung together with a golden thread.
Every laugh, every tear is a piece of magic that we spread.

My name is Bernadette Barna Toth and I am a professional photographer in Portishead, Bristol. 

My friends know me as an always smiling, really friendly person. Photography, to me, is a bridge back to the fleeting moments—the tiny, in-between glances, the wind in your hair, the laughter that only lasted a second. I aim to bottle those emotions so you can feel them again and again.

My style blends painterly, dreamlike imagery that looks like it’s been pulled from a storybook and a nostalgic movie with raw, unfiltered storytelling. Whether it’s a golden sunset hug or a quiet moment between chaos, I want every photo to feel like a page from your own personal fairytale—real, emotional, and timeless.

I want to capture more than just beautiful images. I want to create a meaningful connection with my clients, so that they feel comfortable, authentic, genuine and happy in front of my lens. 

See what’s possible
Every moment has a story. Pause, notice the details, and see the beauty in the everyday
