I cannot say enough good things about Tobin. He made our wedding! We instantaneously connected on our initial phone call and he was easy to work with throughout our entire process. Tobin is authentic, honest and funny. He has an innate ability to make everyone feel so comfortable and let down their guards. His sense of humor is off the hook and as the first person we interacted with on our wedding day, he helped set the stage for an amazing wedding by putting everyone in a great mood (including the tough cookies) and capturing some phenomenal moments on film. I'll never forget Tobin running down the hill with his bad back to take that shot of us walking down the hill with all of our guests trailing behind. Tobin gave us and our guests 100% of himself. We could not have been more pleased to work with anyone on our wedding day and the photos and albums very much reflect the essence of our magical day. We were even surprised when Tobin sent us a photo montage set to music that we would have picked ourselves. The montage was even more impressive than our wedding video. Our friend Vicki puts it best...

"Where did you find this photographer???? Honestly, this is probably the best I have ever seen! WOW! I am not kidding that I was just crying at my desk watching that montage. You and Stef look amazing in every single pic! He really captured that wedding and I don't even know how he made that montage...it was unbelievable what he did. I have never seen that before!"

Now we just have to find another reason to work with Tobin again!

My husband and I were very skeptical of choosing Tobin as a photographer simply because of the price. As soon as the day got going we realized why it was so pricy and absolutely loved him! He was so professional and he got our photos to us sooner than promised! He was fabulous! All of our photos turned out gorgeous even though he was worried they might not because of the time of day we had our ceremony. Everything turned out perfect. When we were viewing our photos with the family we got so many wonderful comments like "these look like they belong in a wedding magazine" We were absolutely pleased with everything!

When I first saw Tobin's profile on The Knot, one sentence in one of his reviews caught my eye and stayed with me; "You'll want to invite him to Thanksgiving dinner!" And let me just say, there is a reason his reviews are all so positive. Working with Tobin is a dream come true! From the second he walked in the door to the gaggle of bridesmaids and glam squad bustling around, he blended seamlessly. He made us laugh (terrific Spanish accent and Jim Gaffigan impression!), he posed us and used examples that made all of us feel at ease AND glamorous, and felt like one of the girls. I completely trusted him and felt like he "got" us, and our relationships with our family and wedding party, so the pictures felt natural and warm. And the pictures! They are unbelievable. I've had lots of requests for Tobin's info for future weddings, and so many compliments like "these look like magazine shots!" and "he perfectly captured the mood of your day". You will not be sorry!!! Oh, and years later our wedding photos are still the best of any of our friends'. Just sayin'!

Perfect Photos for the Perfect Day

My husband and I got married in August and we were blessed to have Tobin as our photographer! When we first began looking for photographers we were completely in the dark. We researched on all the different wedding websites and we were so overwhelmed by the number of talented artists. We found Tobin through our wedding venue - he had done a wedding there a few years ago and they showed us the beautiful album he made for them. We reached out to him and one other photographer to compare prices and do a video call (we live in Virginia and got married in California). The other photographer was talented, kind and affordable, but once we met Tobin, we had no doubts that he was the one for us. He is warm, fun, and completely devoted to his craft. My husband and I are complete dorks and it was magical to meet someone who saw our love and could share in our humor. We did an engagement shoot a few months later and it confirmed our beliefs that Tobin was the perfect person to capture our love. The engagement photos turned out magnificently, and we had so much fun going to new places to find some special shots.
On the day of our wedding, Tobin was attentive and helpful, and was so flexible with everything we wanted to do. He showed us how devoted he was to capturing the perfect shot - he stood on tables and chairs, got down in the dirt, and wasn't afraid to get into some pretty precarious positions. I loved his energy and enthusiasm, and our entire wedding party was able to relax knowing that he wasn't going to push us around or take up all our time with stiff, posed photos. He made us feel like the most beautiful and brilliant couple, and we were just so happy to share this perfect day with him.
After the wedding, we patiently waited about 8 weeks to see our photos for the first time, and it was 100% worth the wait. All of his creative risks and his vision paid off - when we first saw our photos we were blown away. I knew we looked good, but he helped us to look like models! Seeing the pictures was like experiencing our wedding all over again, and we are so lucky to have found someone like Tobin to capture our spirit, our hard work, and our favorite moments.

As a wedding planner I have always enjoyed my interactions with the photographers, until they start pushing back meal time and I have to worry about the food drying out! Tobin was an exquisite photographer. Not only in personality and style but most importantly the finished works he presents. I was exceptionally impressed with how Tobin captured the most important moments as well as some of the smaller moments in a unique and beautiful way.

Not only did the photographs turn out beautifully, he was a joy to work with. Professional, kind, flexible, and inventive. I was glad to see they were photographs that don't look like all the rest that you usually see. He babe getting everyone together for pictures and easy job. And that's hard enough!

I just want to say that I loved everything about working with you. Not only are you a great friend but you took such care and detail when working with me and Aaron and our guests on our special day. I could not imagine the day without your presence. From the moment we confirmed that you would be shooting our wedding I completely relaxed and got super excited at the same time because I knew that we would have THE BOMB DIGGETY Photos and you, of course, did not let me down. The first official photo of us is so stunning. My mouth fell open the first time I saw it. I mean come on, really??!! It really does look like a perfume ad. So many people have asked me about you and have said how magical our wedding seemed and of course, that feeling jumped right out of our photographs. You are a true artist and have such a great personality. I knew that everyone would love working with you because you are so playful and loving but also sweetly stern when you have to be to get the shot. And... the private photos...you know the ones I'm talking about wink wink. Only you would I have trusted to shoot me in such a personal and intimate way. You even helped to unwrap my Bells!!! Tobin, you are so much more than a Photographer, you are a magnificent experience, one that every Bride and Groom should treat themselves to. Thank you Thank You Thank You so much for being a perfect addition to our perfect day. Big Humongous Love -Renee

What I liked about our decision to hire Tobin was that he lived up to his great personality, was even more fun to be coached by, would listen to and translate our visions extremely well and of course pulled off the shots! His style of wedding journalism is also very complete--we loved all the detail shots of the tiniest of things. It makes for a very memorable record.

I couldn’t be happier with the superb pictures Tobin took of our wedding. Clare and I run a homely lodge in Uganda and the wedding album is in pride of place in the living-room. Guests from all over the world are unanimous in their admiration of how Tobin managed to perfectly capture the essence of the day. We could easily have filled three albums with money-shots but you have to draw the line somewhere!
It’s a real gift to a couple to be able to relive the best day ever so vividly. Thank you so much Tobin.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Tobin was absolutely fantastic to work with. He captured all of the special moments of Edward and Elizabeth’s wedding day. I highly recommend Tobin to all my clients. He is not only extremely professional but incredibly talented. One of his most important skills is his ability to effectively communicate during the planning process and the event day. He cooperated with all the vendors during the event while dealing with the bride and groom. He went above and beyond to satisfy both bride and groom. He was punctual and was able to capture all the little details of the wedding from the décor to having a private time with the bride and groom. Tobin thoroughly demonstrated his passion when photographing all the elements of the wedding. Tobin created a positive and inclusive work environment. Thank you Tobin for making Edward and Elizabeth’s wedding such a great day to all.
