Hi, I’m Tobin of Tobin Photography. I love to capture people experiencing their most emotional life moments. Wedding photography, engagement, family and baby photography gives me a unique window into people’s lives.

I’ve had the honor of being a wedding photographer at some of the most wonderful destination weddings in Northern Northern England, Hawaii, Florida, and here in Northern California in Tahoe, Napa, Sonoma, Grass Valley, Nevada City, San Francisco Bay Area, and Sacramento.

For years, I lived and worked out of Santa Barbara, California and I still continue to capture wedding there to this day. My favorite locations are the Fess Parker Doubletree Resort, Butterfly Beach, The Douglas Preserve, Bacara Resort, Figueroa Mountain House, Chase Palm Park, The Four Seasons Biltmore Resort. I’m available to capture your wedding at any of these, and more, like The Riviera Mansion, Canary Hotel, San Ysidro Ranch, The Mission, and more.

Now I live in Nevada City, California, which is just up the hill from Sacramento, and which enables me to photograph weddings in Lake Tahoe, including King’s Beach, Northstar, Heavenly, along with wine country, including Napa, Sonoma, Mendocino, and the San Francisco Bay Area. Also, many Grass Valley and Nevada City venues are total gems. We love the Miner’s Foundry.

It’s awesome. We love living in the Sacramento / Nevada County Foothills and are excited to be one of Sacramento’s best wedding photographers.

Wedding & Event Photographers for the Coast of California

From our time in Santa Barbara, we’ve been to so many beach weddings along the California Coast from Malibu to Mendocino County. California beach weddings are destination wedding locations for many people in North America. Carmel and Monterey offer some of the most stunning views and venues. They may certainly be on the more luxury-end of the spectrum, but are unsurpassed in their splendor. The Mendocino County redwoods or on the coast in the town of Mendocino, itself, offers amazing wedding venues.

San Francisco Bay Area Wedding Photographers

In the past 15 years we’ve photographed a dozen weddings in the city of San Francisco. San Francisco is an extraordinary city for weddings, with trolley cars, Golden Gate Park, The Golden Gate bridge, The Haight, The Palace of Fine Arts, The Ritz Carlton, and so much culture! We’re available to capture your wedding at the The Bridges Golf Club, The Ranch at Little Hills, The Clubhouse at Boundary Oak, Lafayette Park Hotel, Commodore Cruises & Events, Castlewood Country Club, Westin San Francisco Airport, The Marker, Wedgewood Weddings Jefferson Street Mansion, Willow Heights Mansion, Pullman San Francisco Bay, Clos LaChance Winery, Julia Morgan Ballroom, Las Positas Vineyards and Hiddenbrooke Golf Club.

Marin County is one of our favorite places to photographs weddings. From intimate foggy cliff-top weddings in Muir Beach in Mill Valley to Houseboat wedding receptions in Sausalito, Bodega Bay at the Secret Gardens…

Lake Tahoe Wedding photography

If you are getting married in Lake Tahoe, be sure to choose a wedding photographer who knows how to capture the views of the lake and knows the seasons and subtle nuances that Lake Tahoe offers. Now that we are based in Sacramento, it’s a quick trip up to Lake Tahoe. Whether its a South Lake Tahoe resort, or up north in Incline Village or on the shores of the lake itself, we are adept at photographing your Lake Tahoe wedding and are available for your wedding at The Landing Resort and Spa, The Westin Monache Resort, Squaw Valley, Alpine Meadows, Mammoth Mountain Ski Area, Beach Retreat & Lodge at Tahoe, Genoa Lakes Golf Club, The Chateau at Incline Village, Zephyr Cove Resort, Lake Tahoe Cruises, Whitney Peak Hotel and Twenty Mile House.

Same-Sex Wedding Photographers

We are super open and inclusive and celebrate all love.
We would be honored to capture your gay or lesbian wedding celebration!

Multicultural Wedding Photographers

We’ve photographed many Jewish weddings! Who doesn’t love a good Hora (chair dance)?!

We’ve had the chance to work with many different religions, including Hindi Indian weddings, and those from other cultures, ethnicities, and nationalities. It’s an honor photograph weddings across the rainbow of different traditions and each is an incredible learning experience. So many customs, colorful attire…what a joy?!

Northern California Wedding Photographer Pricing

I want to let you know right up front that we are not the cheapest photographers around, but our ideal couples are those who are committed to having emotional, authentic and gorgeous photographs of their wedding – not just for themselves, but for their children and their grandchildren. I’ve lost count of the women who’ve told me over the years they regretted not hiring their first choice of photographer.  Ask yourself – in 20, or 50 years, what will be important: having photographs that touch and move us from your wedding, or that you saved a few hundred bucks? Our photography packages start at $3,650. If this is in your ballpark budget, then get in contact and we will send you some information that will provide you with a rich perspective on our work, our style, and what you can expect in working with Tobin Photography.
