Anjali K. Sent on 08/01/2023Our Favorite Vendor!!!
If you're looking for a creative partner in all ways during your wedding and wedding planning process, Kadi is for you. From the beginning we loved how invested she was in getting to know who WE are and shaping how she went about her craft based on what we like/how we operate. She is so much more than a photographer. Throughout our wedding planning, she would spend HOURS on the phone with me helping me create the little details around each event, even giving suggestions on jewelry that would highlight my look (which I ended up following and am so thankful I did). At our wedding she helped me get dressed, styled my look, and kept the energy alive! When we first met her at our engagement photoshoot (highly recommend doing this!!) she naturally adapted to us and found ways to highlight our love in photos in a way we had never seen before. When it came to our wedding, we fully trusted her. She knew exactly what we were looking for and how to capture the perfect shots. She worked with me on our entire wedding weekend timeline, making sure to carve out time for each thing we had imagined when it came to photos.
And then the PHOTOS...oh my goodness. They are artsy, beautiful, natural, vulnerable, fun, candid, filmy, editorial, I could go on and on. She captures the movement and feelings of the day, so much more than other wedding photos I have seen. If you are into this style, I can't recommend anyone more than Kadi. She will become your best friend, biggest hype woman, and creative director by the end of it all. We love her so much and can't thank her enough for everything she did on our day! -

Love Kadi!!
I hired Kadi for my March wedding at Rancho Las Lomas and she was great!! We had unexpected rain and a whole bunch of family chaos and she truly kept me sane. She was organized, professional and on time. I got my photos back in april/may which is a great turnaround considering she also got married in that timeframe! My photos turned out stunning, it was so difficult to choose one for my thank you cards! She truly is an artist! -

The greatest photographer in the solar system!
Kadi Tobin is THE GREATEST PHOTOGRAPHER IN THE SOLAR SYSTEM! I mean it, she would legitimately find a way to deliver the best photography even if you asked her to shoot on the moon.
Kadi's incredible artistry and aesthetic made it a complete no brainer for selecting her as our top pick to photograph both our engagement session and wedding. We were ecstatic when the dates worked out and we couldn't have booked faster!
From our very first consultation call, Kadi took the time to connect with us, get to know us as a couple, learn about our vision and the wedding we wanted to have. She's friendly, laid back back, and a clear expert in her craft. She doesn't ask you to pose awkwardly and knows how to read the room and the couple and find out how to make you comfortable so you are your best self in your photos. In fact, she keeps a speaker attached to her hip and plays music so you can get into your groove!
More than anything she delivers - ABOVE AND BEYOND! For our destination wedding, Kadi was proactively scouting locations, even helping us plan our ceremony timeline and family photograph lists. One the day of Kadi was a joy to work with. Her direction, expertise, and calmness helped everyone (including extremely shy family members) feel relaxed, comfortable, and confident.
Not to mention we had a last minute second shooter cancellation (to no fault of Kadi's) and she somehow managed to be in two places at once ensuring we got every shot we wanted. And AHH!! THE PHOTOS!! The photos exceeded our expectations on every level!!
We Knew the photos would be beautiful, based on her work that we've previously seen, but we had no idea just how incredible they would be. The way she perfectly captured our essence as a couple and all the emotions expressed from our family and friends will be cherished forever.
We love how her photographs have an untraditional yet timeless feel. These are definitely not going to be your average wedding photos. We're going to need to build more walls in our home to hang our favorite photos from Kadi - because we love each one of them!!
Thank you Kadi!!! -

Kadi, an amazing wedding photographer and amazing person
I really don't think we can say enough about how great Kadi is as a person and photographer. Due to the unforeseen circumstances of COVID-19 and having to change our date, our original wedding photographer was unable to work on our new date. She recommended Kadi to us. What an amazing recommendation that was.
Although we only started talking to Kadi about 6 weeks before our wedding date, she was amazing and helped us in so many ways. We had a number of video chats and were able to iron out so many details about our wedding that we hadn't even considered. She was so personable and accommodating and really made sure that we got the type of photos and style of photos that fit our vision.
On the day of our wedding, she absolutely killed it. We have only seen a few selected photos thus far while she edits the rest, but we were in tears and completely blown away. Every shot we have seen so far was beautiful.
Of course taking the photos was a breeze. She knew exactly what she would like us to do and very clearly communicated that to everyone taking photos with her. She worked extremely well with some of the unruly kids at our wedding as well. She seemed to be able to capture every single aspect of our wedding, but was never in the way. On top of that, Kadi went above and beyond and was assisting the wedding party with the small details to make sure the wedding went off without a hitch.
Kadi is really a wonderful person and made our wedding photos look absolutely stunning. I cannot be happier with Kadi and would highly recommend her to shoot photos for anyone who wants high quality work. -

We had the absolute pleasure of having Kadi as our wedding (and engagement shoot) photographer! After searching through several online portfolios, we were blown away by Kadi’s work. She has a very keen eye and an aesthetic that we were going for. From the moment that we chatted with her on the phone, we just knew that she would be the perfect person to shoot our wedding. She is incredibly talented, artistic, creative, and knows how to achieve those spectacular shots that you’ll want to show off and hold onto forever. She also has a fun and energetic personality that makes working with her fun! Photo shoots can often get tiring, which can then risk affecting the end result. Kadi has a knack for using fun (and often hilarious) prompts to capture genuine moments of love, joy, and laughter between you and your significant other. Kadi does the work ahead of time so that she can capture the perfect backdrops with the right lighting in the setting that you’ve chosen. She will also get to know you and your significant other on a personal level, and will work to ensure that your individual personalities are showcased in your photos. In summary, we could not have been happier after choosing to work with Kadi and will absolutely hire her again for any professional photographs in the future.Kadi Tobin Photography's reply:
Thank you Anya Bananya! Love you guys so much and I loved capturing your engagement and your wedding day. -

Hands Down the Best Wedding Photographer
The second we met Kadi, we knew we had to have her at our wedding. My husband can get anxious in front of a camera, but Kadi made us feel like we had known her for years and that comfortability came across in every photo. There is not one photo from our wedding that we are not smiling ear to ear - whether it was from laughing at each other or from Kadi making us laugh. Each and every photo captures somehow captures all of beauty and love that surrounded us on that wedding day. We have guests and family continuously tell us that these are the most beautiful wedding photos they have ever seen and I know multiple guests that personally ordered photos that were captured by Kadi on that day. Hands down Kadi was our most favorite vendor that we hired for our wedding and we could recommend her a million times again. She has a way of really capturing every intimate and special moment - none of the photos feel staged (even those family ones). It would be an honor to have her shoot another life event of ours - it feels like she is part of our family. -

Wedding photographer turned forever friend
Kadi was our wedding photographer for our 2019 nuptials in New Orleans - she was such a trooper and came all the way out from San Diego for our special day and braved the brutal southern heat to take our amazing wedding photos.
She also did our engagement shoot (which for me was the test to see if we could even really have a wedding photographer as my husband doesn’t love his picture being taken and we both don’t love the cheesy vibe that some sessions turn out to be). Kadi completely clicked with our personalities and made hours of shooting feel like minutes. The pictures from both our wedding and our engagement shoot are some of my most prized possessions and I’m so thankful she was able to capture our special day and love.
We have grown so attached to Kadi that we truly can’t think of anyone else to mark our milestones so we even booked her for our maternity shoot (which happened the other week at a socially distanced beach) and we’re hoping we can have her take new born pictures of our little one when he arrives this fall.
It was super important to me to make sure that whoever was chosen to take our engagement and wedding photos felt like an actual guest at our wedding - like she was just there to be apart of our special day and it’s safe to say that Kadi is like family now!
We couldn’t recommend her enough and we’re so thrilled that she’s so engrained in our lives!Kadi Tobin Photography's reply:
Thank you thank you thank you! You guys and your families are so special to me and I'm so glad I have gotten to capture so many of your milestones. Cheers to many more! xx -

I am EXTREMELY picky when it comes to photography and after digging through the internet for weeks, I finally found my photography soulmate, Kadi. She photographed our engagement session and our wedding and captured the most magical, authentic, beautiful photographs I could have imagined. Friendly, funny, and kind, she made even my fiancé (now husband) relax, loosen up, and be himself in front of a camera, which is a feat in and of itself, as he isn't the biggest fan of being photographs.
We shot at several different locations for our engagement session, which was incredible. After a couple brief conversations, Kadi knew EXACTLY what I was looking for and made it happen. During the shoot, it’s extremely relaxed and fun; she’ll never pose your or make you look stiff. My husband and I had a great time!
Kadi did an equally impressive job capturing a multitude of special moments at our wedding. Professional, courteous, and detail-oriented, she worked with me seamlessly and perfectly (even though I was extremely stressed out about timing and schedule the day of).
If you love whimsical, natural, expertly captured & edited photographs that you will want to share with EVERYONE and cherish forever, Kadi is your girl. Seriously, I cannot say enough good things about Kadi’s demeanor, professionalism, and, of course, her photos. I -
