Toby came as a recommendation from our wedding planner, but I really fell in love with his style of photography that he has online and social media. Our engagement session started off with some scary car issues, but Toby had me forgetting about it and smiling within 5 minutes of our shoot. Our wedding day was overcast with chance of rain but Toby insisted the photos would come out perfect and he was wrong, they were AMAZING!!!! My husband and I were very comfortable with him the whole day and getting us to pose in the craziest areas. I admit I was sad to see him go towards the end of the wedding. We hope to utilize his services again one day! More...

Toby is an incredible photographer. From doing our engagement photos, to our wedding, to our surfing pictures, to our staff portraits, to our first baby pictures and than our second baby pictures, he has always exceeded our expectations. His photography is not limited to one skill set, he is able to capture photos in a very wide variety of settings. From action shots and surf and skateboarding photos to weddings and family pictures, he never disappoints and we are always so incredibly happy with them. Another important factor, he is very conscious of time management and always gets the pictures edited and to you right away. Hands down the best photographer we have ever and will ever use! More...

If I could give Toby 6 stars, I would! After our first phone call, I knew he was going to be awesome to work with. I searched for a photographer that would tell our story through pictures. And that is exactly Toby's style! He was easy to talk to, realistic, creative and affordable. He took our engagement pictures in March and then shot our wedding in October. Toby also had his wife, Lauren, be our second photographer for our wedding day. They make a great team! You won't be disappointed by hiring Toby! He is SO creative with some of his shots and always made us laugh. More...

Image in Love has been great to work with! We worked with Image in Love to cover photography and videography for our wedding. Toby, lead photographer, spent hours on the phone with us prior to our wedding day, taking the time to iron out details and provide his professional opinion on some photography and group photos we were considering. Toby's experienced approach assured us that we would get everything done, and we were able to complete most of the portraits before the wedding. Between Toby and Tina, their fun, casual, and professional attitude was much appreciated on our wedding day! They also worked to make sure we stayed on target with our timeline for the day. So far we have only had a sneak peak of a few photos but they are so stunning, we can't wait to see the rest! He even expedited our holiday and thank you photos so that we could get a jump on sending those out. We selected the bundle with videography and would highly recommend both! More...

We hired Image In Love for our wedding in October 2021 (Love Boat Package which included two photographers). Jared and the second photographer were OUTSTANDING! So much fun to work with yet very professional. The two arrived on time to our ceremony site and started capturing moments right away. Once the ceremony concluded, one headed off to the reception site (different location) and the other stayed to take couple's portraits. Both had a clear vision for certain poses/angles/shots, but also asked for our input along the way which we appreciated. Toby who was our contact for the initial consultation was very responsive. He asked us to complete a detailed survey explaining our photography preferences and although we haven't recieved the photos yet (our wedding was just this past weekend) I know these preferences were taken into account just based on our interactions with the photographers and what we saw them capture thoughout the evening. We were so impressed with Image In Love that we've already referred them to a member of our family who is getting married next year which they ended up booking! Definitely reach out to them for your wedding, you will not be disappointed! More...

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! More...

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. More...

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.

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!

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.

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.

Every single person at my wedding was SO impressed with Toby; first off, he arrived about half an hour early to scope the place out and capture some absolutely stunning photos of the scenery and set up. He also ended up staying later than our contract stated to capture some amazing photos with the sunset, without any additional charge. Second off, for only two hours I was expecting maybe 50-100 photos max, and he sent us more than double what we were expecting, editing each and every photo beautifully (some black and white, some color, etc.) He sent the photos SO quickly (less than 2 weeks!) in a nice little online album, giving you the option to easily download each and every photo you wanted to save. And let me tell you...my reaction when I saw the photos for the first time-I was absolutely speechless at how incredibly beautiful these images were. I may have shed a few tears (happy ones!) looking though the album for the first time. Toby has such an incredible talent, not only with taking photos of stunning views and scenery, but at capturing extremely special moments. He captured such great photos, like my surprised face when I saw my brother make a surprise appearance at my wedding, our families conversing and laughing, my dad setting up the scenery, and the very funny moments of my family trying to tie on my dress correctly (don't ever have a corset back on a wedding dress!)Plus all of the beautifully done/edited images from the ceremony and afterwards. He has a real knack for being able to capture those candid moments, and he was also so amazing with the photos my husband and I took after the wedding. He told us exactly where to go, how to do the poses, and he was so laid back with everything that it was all such a relaxing, fun experience! Now I can look back at my wedding photos and be able to feel those same feelings I felt on my special day, and remember how much love and fun there was-no one could have captured our day more beautifully than Toby!

First off, this review is well over due, especially given how amazing of a job
Toby did, not only on our engagement day but our wedding day as well! From
start to finish he perfected and exceeded my expectations. Here are a few reasons why I was so satisfied with Image in Love Photography....
Communication is key and Toby had very clear communication and answered any and every question I had. I was always able to get ahold of him!
He followed through with everything I asked and was also able to offer further great ideas/advice
His prices are incredibly fair for how hard he works.
I had my reception and ceremony in two different locations on the property and he made sure to capture each and every moment.
He worked with me from 9 am to 11:15 pm without over charging me, just so he could get each and every shot from my wedding.
He was able to capture the helicopter that flew in at my wedding, the performing magician we had, the dances we synchronized, the desserts we displayed, the photo booth, and so much more.
If you want an incredibly talented photographer that will meet your expectations but than surpass them, toby is your guy!

Toby and Lauren were awesome! Toby was very professional but also had a great sense of humor that made me and my wife very relaxed and having a good time. The photo booth was awesome too, we had prints being printed out at the wedding but you could also had a web address where you could go see them online too. We couldn't have asked for a better group to photograph our wedding. More...

I had such a blast working with Toby. Together we staged a couple covert photo shoots through the day on which I proposed to my now fiancé. First Toby hid and crawled around the cliffs overlooking our favorite surf spot where he nabbed first class surf photography of the the two of us (a specialty of his) without her becoming any the wiser, then later in the day he hid as I proposed on the beach. The entire experience was fun from scheming with him to knowing that I had a true professional capturing moments that I want to hold with me for the rest of my life... And then we saw the pictures, completely blown away by how amazing they were. I literally just played a slide show the next day to her whole family of his entire reel, put some rantic hipster songs on and had everyone in the room in tears. His work speaks for itself, and he's a rad dude to know, feels like your working with a friend. I highly recommend him for any type of photography from action sports to weddings. This thing wants me to point out what could have been better.... Probably my surfing so he would have something better to take a picture of ha! More...

My three goals in looking for a wedding photographer were:
1. To find a high-quality photographer that had an "eye" for taking both posed and candid shots.
2. Receive all digital copies of pictures taken.
3. To not "break" the bank.

I first heard about Toby Ogden's photography through my friend who got married last summer. Her pictures turned out amazing and the quality of his work was exactly what I was looking for.

When I initially contacted Toby, I found that he was very easy to work with and fit everything I wanted within my budget. So much so, that we were also able to afford his Photo Booth services (a big hit that I highly recommend!!!)

During the day of our wedding, Toby and his girlfriend, Lauren, were able to capture wonderful shots of the bridal and groom's party getting ready at our separate locations, our ceremony, family portraits, dinner, and reception.

Within a month, Toby had edited the hundreds of photos that were taken during our special day and posted them on a website where all friends and family were able to access and download ones to their liking. The quality of work surpassed all my expectations and We really appreciate all the hard work that they put into our event. We have wonderful memories captured that will last a lifetime!

We had such a great experience with Toby! He made everything so easy (even for my husband, who HATES taking photos!) and we are so thrilled with our photos! Every question we had, Toby answered quickly and efficiently. Our photos were returned 3 weeks after the wedding and in a really easy to view format. Thanks, Toby! More...

Q&As

We first will ask all the right questions to fully understand what our clients want. We can also guide a client so that we can achieve their vision and exceed it. The secret is to listen and understand and then use our experience and creativity to make it happen.

What are you using these images for? How fast do you need these visuals? Do you have inspiration images I can see? Can you tell me all about your vision for the images I will create for you?

I hardly consider what I do work. It is a passion of mine and it has just happened to become how I make a living.

I've been wanting this lifestyle since I was about 5 years old when I was selling mistletoe out in front of a grocery store.

I am honest and straightforward with my clients. I have extensive experience in creating visuals for people and companies.

I can provide services in any way needed and that is possible. I am easy to work with so we make it happen if it needs to.

Services

I've been photographing weddings and filming with editing for 10+ years. I've been very fortunate to have been able to be the photographer and videographer for over 500 couples in just the last 7 years.

I have specialized in product photography. I like to take a product and get the perfect angles with light in my studio or outside the studio too. I can get the simple white or cut-out background for e-commerce and I can also get those creative hero shots of your product that can make it stand out from the rest.

I've been fortunate to be able to work with some amazing restaurants capturing their menus and also get some outside-the-box creative images for magazines and social media.

I can photograph and/or film properties and create amazing images for agents to sell them. I can photograph and film your home for short-term rentals. I use a drone as well.

Headshots in and out of the studio. Lifestyle images for personal use and to use to promote your brand.
