Kadi Tobin Photographer | Reviews

Kadi’s lovable, fun personality made the day so much better! She took amazing photos and made all my photo visions come true. I had a lot of ideas (eating ice cream, band t and undies running across the highway, bathtub champagne photos, and swinging my extensions on the dance floor) and they all turned out AMAZING. I was trying to do my wedding on a budget but am so grateful to have these photos to look back and reminisce! Worth every penny! Thank you Kadi!!!

Kadi was FANTASTIC to work with! Her pictures are absolutely stunning, but equally as important, she blended in perfectly to our day and helped make sure everything was running smoothly. Our friends and family loved having her around. She knows the Santa Cruz area really well and can help you find majestic settings for any photos, but she makes sure to do extensive research no matter where she's shooting. Everything was prompt, professional, and truly above and beyond!

This review is long overdue! Kadi is an absolute dream, stop your search and book her, you will not regret it! We had to move our wedding date and our original photographer wasn't available and we were lucky enough to be referred to Kadi. We hadn't met her in person and right away she made my husband and I very very comfortable and is honestly just fun to be around. First and foremost she us honest and upfront. When we emailed her to see if she was available she sent us multiple galleries to look through so we could have a sense of her style and not be limited to an instagram page full of flattering filters. From the start she was just so easy to work with and that is exactly what you want when planning a wedding. Fast forward to the wedding...she was the MVP! She was our photographer, coordinator, and moral support :) She would ask me if I needed a drink, held my garter till it was time to throw it, and helped make sure things flowed smoothly. She went above and beyond and I cannot thank and recommend her enough ! Truly our wedding wouldn't have been as amazing as it was without her!!! Next, her photos are STUNNING! She has an amazing eye and produces these beautiful photos. But what almost seems more important than her ability to take a great shot is her ability to make you feel comfortable. My husband and I are both not fans of being in front of the camera but she made us feel so comfortable and that is what you want from your photographer. Please please do yourself a favor and book Kadi, it will be the best decision you make.

I am so so glad we found Kadi. Of all the things that went into our wedding, we knew we wanted to invest in a great photographer to capture the day. We've never had professional photos taken of us before, so we were a little nervous that we'd feel uncomfortable. I was also worried that we wouldn't be able to find a photographer who didn't overly edit or filter every picture and that we wouldn't look like ourselves. But then! We found Kadi. She was the best photographer we could have asked for - she wanted to get to know us and build a friendship together, she was super thoughtful and asked what parts of the day were most important to us, and she even asked us questions about our wedding day worries to make sure she knew how to navigate sensitive situations. I was so surprised and impressed at the level of thought and detail that Kadi put into every aspect. And every single photo is absolutely gorgeous. We have no idea which ones to pick to print and hang in our house! That's a good problem to have though! There are so many pieces that go into a wedding, but photography is easily the most important. The wedding day goes by so fast and there are are so many little moments that you can't possibly stop to enjoy, but having a good photographer helps capture those little and big moments all together. Kadi is absolutely that person for us and I cannot say enough good things about her and her work! Thank you 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!

Kadi was an absolute dream photographer to work with. I wouldnt have wanted to work with anyone else leading up to, on, or after our big day. She is a kind soul who understands what couples go through as they plan a wedding, and she makes the photography process feel easy and breezy. And she cares about her couples! She works to understand how to capture the true essence of the couple; and she captured everything we wanted... and more. The day of the wedding, Kadi was the MVP. She assumed the role of photographer, producer, art director, and friend. From calming our nerves before the first look, to helping bustle my dress when all else failed, to bobbing and weaving undetected on the dance floor, Kadi went above and beyond as a photographer. But of course, more importantly- Kadi was able to capture moments of the day that we will treasure and look back on, forever. The look on my husband's face as I walked down the aisle, my 94 yr old grandma celebrating, the sunlight hitting my veil perfectly at golden hour. Kadi has a gift that I knew existed when I saw her work, but didnt fully grasp until she sent us the first round of photos. If you know what's good for you, you wont wait a second longer and you'll hire her to capture your special moments. You wont regret it :)
