    Professional and a Pleasure to Work With!

    Finding a great photographer for our wedding was a priority, and my wife and I are so glad we ended up choosing Toby with Image In Love Photography. We first met Toby at Balboa park for an engagement shoot and we were both immediately comfortable working with him. Toby had a relaxed attitude but was very efficient, and we got to a wide variety of locations within the park in under an hour.

    The engagement shoot photos came out great and we know our wedding photos will be amazing as well! On our wedding day, Toby was again a pleasure to work with and made it super easy for us. He was able to get all the shots we were hoping for (getting ready, first look, family formals, bridal party, etc), and he was constantly thinking creatively and moving quickly.

    Toby is a true professional with a great eye. He answered questions and communicated well, showed up early and was prepared, and made the whole process easy for us. Thanks again Toby!

    You should hire him!

    We hired Toby for our engagement shoot last fall and also our wedding in February at the Martin Johnson House. Toby is very punctual and clear in his communication, which we appreciated, and he was able to give us some prompts to loosen up for the camera (which we were nervous about). We are SO happy with the photos! They are even more beautiful than we could have imagined, and it makes us so happy to look through them and remember that special day. He got a good mix of portraits and candids, some playful and some glamorous. We can't wait to get them printed. Everyone who has seen them is blown away and repeatedly comments on how beautiful the photos turned out. The cherry on top is that our package (6h) was extremely reasonable priced! Thank you so much Toby! We would hire him again and definitely recommend him to anyone in SD!

    The BEST Photographer

    There is so much pressure in finding the perfect photographer for you big day. I am so thankful I found Toby as he literally is the BEST photographer you will ever hire. From the first time we talked until the delivery of our wedding gallery, he has been amazing. He is so easy to talk to and takes all of your opinions in to consideration. He is flexible with working with your budget and your exact needs and creating a wedding package that works for you. We just got our wedding gallery back and cannot even choose which ones we want to get printed because all 1,118 photos are amazing. Our families and friends who have seen the gallery cannot stop talking about how amazing the photos turned out as well.

    Not only is Toby an amazing photographer and clearly is the best at what he does, he is so personable and easy to hang out with as well. We did not feel awkward at all during our photos and he made them fun.

    100% recommend!

    Lauren was our photographer for our 9/9/2022 wedding. The weather was not what we expected, but she was able to get some great shots out in the rain. We initially had plans to get some beach photos and then go to another area, but she was prepared with alternative locations due to the weather. She is creative and had us take some fun photos and we received our sneak peeks quickly. We are very excited to see how the remaining pictures turned out.

    The best!!

    Toby at Image in Love was fantastic!! His ability to confidently direct a shoot while naturally capturing the moment is unparalleled. Everything from our engagement photo session to our day of wedding activities were top notch and we wouldn’t have had it any other way. He captured crucial moments that would have been easily overlooked in the busy events surrounding our wedding. We are now able to remember these forever thanks to Toby.

    We have recommended him to several friends and will continue to use Toby in the future. He is professional, kind, punctual and a fantastic value! Thank you Toby!!

    Highly Recommend Image in Love!

    Toby was really easy and great to work with throughout the entire process. We had to change our wedding date and venue due to COVID, and he was very understanding/accommodating. The finished pictures looked great -- we loved all of the moments and things he captured during our ceremony and reception. He caught a lot of things we didn't even realize, but are so extremely happy that he did. We got a lot of value for our money and would highly recommend Toby/Image in Love!

    Incredible

    Toby was absolutely incredible. Talk about cool, calm, professional, and overall just an amazing photographer. He used my parent's backyard and harsh lighting and managed to create the most beautiful photos. If you are looking for a photographer to put your trust in, Image in Love is the way to go. We felt comfortable from the very beginning with Toby. Whenever I need a photographer in the future, we will be calling Toby! Thank you for capturing all the precious moments; we are forever grateful.

    Perfect wedding photos!

    Toby was wonderful for our 2 small Nov 2020 wedding ceremonies (Hindu and American). He captured beautiful moments that we will cherish forever. Toby was easy to work with, very responsive, professional, and flexible with our plans. We loved his candid photo style and he also set us up with some unique and fun photo ideas that turned out great. He captured pre-ceremony, ceremony, family photos, and photos of the two of us in gorgeous sunset lighting. He also edited and turned our photos around quickly. We highly recommend Toby and would love to have him capture more moments for us in the future!

    Super Responsive and Great Quality!

    Toby was absolutely incredible! He was super fast in his responses/communication, captured many incredible shots, and was flexible and collaborative in order to guarantee we got the pictures we wanted. He was even helpful in suggesting poses/shots and I'm so glad we listened to him. Not only are his photos beautiful, but he is also reasonably priced, which is a rarity for wedding photography. I highly recommend Toby/Image in Love for your photography needs!

    Toby is an Allstar!

    Toby was our photographer for our small, intimate wedding in Coronado in Sept 2020. He was extremely flexible during the COVID times. He is incredibly talented and prompt with his work. On the first night of our wedding, he sent us several edited photos for us to share with friends and family who were not able to make the wedding. His team edited all the photos and shared them with us less than 2 weeks after our big day-- he has an incredible eye and each photo is beautiful. He is extremely personable and made the photoshoot fun and lighthearted throughout the entire day!

    Outstanding crew, Stunning Photos.

    I can not say enough wonderful things about Image in Love Photography. We first met Toby back in January 2019, he did our engagement photos at Sunset cliffs. Toby was easy to work with, answered all the questions during the photo shoot, he made us laugh, and we felt very comfortable, and we had ALL our photos back to us in less than one week! Let me just say, our engagement photos are BEAUTIFUL! My friends and family are still talking about them!
    When we decided on our wedding day, I knew the first thing I had to do was book Image in Love for our photos. On the day of our wedding day, Toby arrived early to look at the venue, to check it all out, we were so impressed! He already knew what photos we wanted, he always was there to capture the best moments! He made sure we got all the photos we wanted and more, he has the eye, and his ideas for photos truly are AMAZING! Photos were the most important thing to us on our wedding day, and the photos we have are
    the most BEAUTIFUL , natural, stunning photos! I can not say it enough, Image in Love are the best at what they do, and we will always recommend them!
    Thank you Image in Love for making our dreams come true, the photos are stunning! Thank You for helping make our most special day of our lives amazing!

    Thank you! Mr. and Mrs. Sepulveda

    Very Satisfied

    Toby photographed our ceremony on 10/12/19. We were blown away with the quality of the photos. It was a challenging setting with the lighting, yet the photos all looked perfect. I was especially impressed with the high-speed moments he captured (breaking the glass etc) he didn't miss a thing. Our reception was a week later on 10/19/19 and was photographed by Lauren. The photos were also beautiful, in particular we were very impressed with the "couple photos" before the reception.

    Fantastic and Professional

    Tobias was hands-down the best wedding photographer to hire and I recommend him to everyone! My wife and I had an engagement shoot with Toby several months ago and those photos were incredible so we were extremely excited for our wedding photos - which we received 3 days after our wedding. Well over a 1000 pictures!! Amazing! Photography was the highest priority for us when hiring vendors and I'm so incredibly grateful we found Toby.

    Toby and the second photographer arrived at the hotel where I was getting ready with my groomsmen and my wife was getting ready with her bridal party. They took amazingly detailed shots of my wife's dress and accessories and of her getting ready. I was pretty dead-set against doing a first-look, but we had gifts for each other which we exchanged with a door between us and Toby captured the moment perfectly. He and his assistant, who happens to also be his wife, left ahead of us to get setup shots of the venue. He captured the ceremony perfectly and immediately after the ceremony we took photos with family, our wedding party, and just us as newly-weds. The second photographer took photos of our guests and cocktail hour. Throughout the wedding if there were any photos we wanted with certain people or anything else we wanted photos of he was incredibly accommodating. We even went back out after dark to take more pictures which are some of my favorites. It was everything we wanted and so much more.

    My wife had the misfortune of falling ill the week leading up to our wedding and we were worried she would not like the photos because she felt so unwell at the time. We both however, love every single picture and you cannot tell she felt under the weather.

    Everyone loves our photos - especially us! - and we will be hiring Toby again for any photographer needs we may have in the future.

    Toby, thank you so much for all your hard work and patience! We will cherish these memories for the rest of our lives.

    The best choice for engagement and wedding photographer!

    We hired Tobias as our wedding photographer and recently did our engagement shoot with him at La Jolla Cove. Prior to booking Tobias, I researched wedding photographers for hours, but was the most impressed with his work, reviews and pricing. He did not disappoint! My fiancé and I had so much fun during our shoot and felt completely comfortable throughout the entire process. Tobias was very communicative and professional throughout the day of our shoot, arrived ahead of us and walked us through the process. We received our photos within a week and were in love with all of them!! We are extremely happy we chose to work with Tobias, and we are very excited and thankful to have him be our wedding photographer. We highly recommend Tobias for your engagement and wedding photography!

    Toby did an outstanding job covering our wedding from start to finish. We did not need to give him direction at all. He captured all of the moments we wanted and more. Worked his tail off for 9 straight hours. Was on time and professional. Really did a bang up job rallying family and friends during pictures. Also, turned the pics around in 9 days!! Super good dude.

    Toby is absolutely incredible! We had an engagement shoot with him this past December so we could send out our save the date cards and within one hour we had a ton of beautiful and professional photos to choose from, more beautiful than we ever expected! We finally have some quality photos of us! What's even better? He returned out photos to use within a day and a half, during a busy holiday weekend! He does a great business and I recommend him to everyone looking for some breathtaking, decently priced photos. I still look at them in awe. I can't wait for him to shoot our wedding!

    There are not enough superlatives in the English language to describe how awesome Tobias was and how professional and talented his work is....

    After much searching my wife contacted Tobias with a budget in mind and he meticulously planned out what he could offer us... we chose to do our engagement photos , wedding photography, and he also provided us with a full service photo booth ...

    The day of our engagement was a rough drive for him because of traffic but he was in a upbeat mood.. we are people who do not generally crave attention or the spotlight or take a lot of photos but Tobias gave us great direction and his insight into what backgrounds and poses were invaluable ... during the whole photo shoot we could just tell Tobi is passionate about his work and very focused but energetic and fun to be around ..

    The day of the wedding he took what must've been a bazillion pictures .. we had a videographer (who btw was also awesome) and Tobias first asked if he could and took leadership and direction for the majority of the pictures when it was difficult for us getting everybody to go where we needed. He worked extremely well with the videographers (sometimes we've heard that at joined events they can clash).. Tobi motioned and directed everyone in the wedding party in various positions both candid and posed and they turned out amazing ...

    We cannot express how thankful we are for all the work he put into taking all the pictures we requested .... he really is a master of his craft and has a beautiful vision for what he is capturing .... I can say with 100% confidence that you will not be disappointed booking him ...

    We absolutely LOVED Tobias and Lauren! Most importantly, our wedding pictures were beautiful. Tobias has a really creative eye, and so our pictures looked really unique. When we shared them with our guests, several people raved about how stunning the pictures were. (Not to mentioned we got them back just one week from our wedding. I am pretty sure this is unheard of. All of my friends who've recently been married said they waited months to get their pictures.) Tobias was also very easy to work with. He was simultaneously laid back and detail oriented.

    We contacted several photographers in the process of finding someone who was the right fit. Some of the others were a tad more responsive. They wanted to meet for coffee, do a practice shoot, and sent several follow up emails. This is not necessarily Tobias' style, but we chose him anyway because his work was the most beautiful. I can promise that on the day of the wedding (which is what's most important) you will not be disappointed. I would consider myself very picky and would hire Tobias and Lauren again in an instant (and have since recommended them to all of my friends.)

    You will not regret hiring them to do your photography!

    Toby was amazing! He was the perfect type of photographer we needed... not too pushy to get the perfect shot, fun, kind, laid back, and put everyone at ease. He arrived early to scope out the location to find the perfect backdrops for portraits. After the formal pics, he allowed us to enjoy the day and took photos from every location- without us even knowing he was there! I feel like most of my married friends said they felt like they were being followed the entire evening. NOT Toby! He was really great. And to add to the fantastic-ness... we got our pictures back in less than ONE WEEK!!! They were beautiful! My only recommendation from one bride to another... make a list of the photos you absolutely NEED and want. There were a couple shots we were missing... I had a chair set up for my dad, who had passed away, in the front row with a sign and flowers, and we didn't get a shot of that. But it's totally my fault because I don't think Toby new about it. So make your list!! Our Photobooth was amazing as well! The set up was easy, the pictures amazing and clear, everyone loved it- It was a HIT! I can't wait to get back our video. Such an amazing day <3 Thank you Toby!!!

    Toby is amazing, seriously! From the moment my fiancé and I looked at Toby's work, we knew we had to contact him. He is so responsive to all communication (email, phone, text, you name it!), relaxed and honest, that it's hard not to feel at ease with him. After we met Toby, he sent us a proposal for review the same night – talk about quick! There were no surprises, and it was so nice to recap what we talked about needing and wanting. Not only did we book our engagement and wedding day photography with him, but the photo booth as well, all for an incredibly fair price.

    We recently took our engagement photos, and the experience was so much fun. The turnaround time for our engagement pictures was literally less than a week, and they are all stunning. Having such gorgeous pictures and the wonderful experience we did, solidifies choosing Toby to document our upcoming wedding. We are beyond grateful for Toby & Lauren to have captured some incredible shots and for making us feel so comfortable.

    Toby is fantastic and great to work with. My husband and I had a somewhat non-traditional morning wedding, and we were only looking for 4 hours of photography for all of the getting ready, first look, ceremony, and mimosa hour shots. Toby accommodated our request, quoted us an extremely reasonable price, and then went above and beyond day-of. He arrived super early to scout the location, set up, and start taking photos. Everyone liked Toby's personality - he made our wedding party and us feel comfortable and have fun during the more formal photo shoot moments!

    The best part: Toby had our pictures to us in 10 days and they are absolutely gorgeous! He sent us a link to the digital album which is easy to use, share, and download. The site includes hundreds of photos from our 4 hours with him, and there are so many great moments that I had a really difficult time creating a printed wedding album!

    Toby is fantastic! My fiancé was a bit nervous going into our engagement photoshoot, but Toby's professionalism made us both feel very at ease. We were able to connect with him and we came out of it with stunning photos! He also helped me walk through my wedding day timeline early in my wedding planning process, which was incredibly helpful with coordinating with my other venders. I am so happy to have booked with Image In Love for both our engagement and wedding photography. Thank you Toby!
