Toby Ogden Photography & Film

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $1,000
  • Serves El Cajon, CA

I'm in love with taking photos and I spend all of my time working on fine-tuning my photography but also getting deeper than just taking photos. I am taking photos with the purpose now more than ever. Its been my years of experience that has helped me develop my photography into art and not just a picture taker. From the moment I meet my clients, I want to know as much as I can. Getting closer to a client really transcends into the photographs I am taking of them and their special day.

Toby has done my daughter’s newborn photos and other Christmas time photos of our family. He always makes us feel so comfortable. Recently he did our family photos again and we tried a new venue - the beach. The outcome brought me to tears! I was so impressed with his ability to get our daughter’s personality and to capture the moments of love between us. It is truly endearing and memories we will cherish for a lifetime.

I represent San Diego's top wedding photographers. I have sought out award winning talent that is technically savvy, creative, and very personable. Talent , experience, a great positive energy, and capturing a wide range of emotions, poses and backgrounds, are just a few of ingredients that goes into being successful for our clients . Each photographer has photographed professionally at least 5 years. We seek out couples who put photography at the highest level of importance for their wedding day, and hope to get the opportunity to chat with you soon :)

Our wedding photos are STUNNING! It’s so much fun to relive the day through all of the photos. True photography was so easy to work with and provided us with all of the footage they took of the day. I’m talking 5000 photos. We also used them for videography, and we were provided with a 9 minute video of our wedding day which is so awesome to watch. They also provided us with a high quality multi camera view of our entire ceremony and all of the toasts. Erin was our photographer and Michael was our videographer, and I can’t recommend them both enough. They are so professional and amazing at their jobs. Highly recommend!

I’m a small town girl living in the big city of San Diego. You know the saying, “Home is where the heart is?” For me it has two meanings. If home is a physical place, mine is the magical little town where I was born – Ojai, California. It is a place where people can breathe deep and feel the wholeness of their lives. It's a magical little valley of peace happiness. If home is truly where the heart is, then mine is my family. In 2016, I married my best friend and the father of our beautiful son and daughter. We are a squad of awesomeness and those three hold my heart in the palm of their hands.

Morgan will be your best friend, wedding planner and confidant aside from taking the most beautiful pictures!! I can’t imagine anyone else to have taken our beautiful engagement & wedding pictures and look forward to taking family pictures in the future! She loves to travel so even if you’re not based in CA, reach out to her! Look no further, Morgan is the best of the best!

We are Hayes and Bree, your San Diego wedding photo and video duo! In 2020, we met online, but were stunned that both of us had been capturing weddings through photography and videography separately for years! After getting married, we combined our businesses to create one where we not only get to continue doing what we love, but get to do it together. Whether it's a local wedding in San Diego or traveling to gorgeous spots like the European countryside, we would love for you to come along for the journey!

Bree was such an amazing photographer to work with! She made sure I was getting the videos that I needed as she was her photos. Working with her made the day go so smooth and we got what we needed in a timely fashion! I’ve never had a photographer that was this easy to work with!

From the first moment I talked to Nicole at Nicole Reyes Photography, I felt like we were old friends. She was so kind and welcoming, asking detailed questions and learning more about my fiancé and I. We talked about venues, and she even gave me valuable feedback that the initial location I was considering would have some challenges. I'm so thankful for her guidance! I landed on my dream venue :). When I mentioned we would love to have our engagement photos taken in our town in Texas, Nicole was totally on board and travelled to meet us the next month! On the day of our wedding, Nicole and her team captured stunning, beautiful photos. The team was attentive to all the little details, and even did a little extra detail session when some of our details didn't make it to the venue! I could not be happier with the value and quality of Nicole Reyes Photography's work, and I highly recommend her to any couple planning their wedding. You will love Nicole, and do family pictures and more with her! Thank you, NRP!

I'm a caretaker by nature. (Enneagram fan? I'm a 2w3) I love to laugh and am often told I have a calming presence. My friends tell me I have a huge heart and am a good listener. Except my husband says I am a horrible listener but I think that's just to him! I love cats, craft beer, burlesque and radical self care!

Awarded Best of Zola
I met Melissa working in the industry on one of the most difficult shoots I've ever been on. That night she was a total professional and amazing photographer and we quickly bonded. I trust her so much that when it was time for my wedding she was who I asked to capture it. She travelled to France to photograph our wedding and was there like one of our family. She kept us calm and having fun in the stressful moments and her creativity made some of the most incredible wedding photos we could have imagined. Now years later Melissa is the person we call first when it is time to capture our family growing. If her photographs aren't enough to convince you, take it from someone who filmed weddings for 13 years; Melissa is the person you want capturing your day.

I love freezing wedding days. I stay true to color, but add in a little warmth. I love documenting the day and getting in all the emotions. My favorite part of the entire day- grooms reaction to either his bride walking down the aisle or that first look. I'm also a sucker for dad first looks. Details are also so important, it's one of the biggest day of your lives and getting it all photographed is so very important!

Ashley was pure joy to work with. She was professional and easy going while still making sure everything was orderly. My husband does not like his photo taken and he was relaxed and at ease the whole time. Our gallery came back so quickly and I still tear up at the quality of our photos! We are so thankful for her and all the beautiful memories she captured.

I've always been a creative junkie and appreciated the fine arts since I was a little girl. I knew I wanted to do something creative as my career, and against all odds of "old school, you should be a nurse" Filipino parents, I achieved it. I've been a graphic designer for 14 years and after being sorely disappointed in my own wedding photographs I decided to learn photography.

We love Ronalyn! She is always sure to capture a variety of great moments with her different cameras. The B&W prints she selects show her eye for artistry. 3 sessions later (Engagement, Wedding, Family) we do not doubt she will continue to be No.1 choice photographer for us. Personable and professional!
