Toby was the absolute BEST to work with - I couldn’t recommend him more. He was extremely responsive and flexible, great energy and we had so much fun. He was able to manage and deliver an impressive shoot with a baby, and dog that captured our personalities without it feeling so staged. We did 3 different locations and he was patient, engaging and turned our photos around so quickly. Need not look further if you come across his profile- an absolute gem!

It was a joy to work with Toby for my special event! He was always quick to respond to my messages. Also Toby agreed to meet in advance to inspect the venue and finalize arrangements - that took away some of my stress in those final days. In the end the pics came out beautifully and promptly. I highly recommend Photo By Tenenbaum.

Toby was incredibly responsive, flexible about booking a last minute job, and gave us the outtakes promptly. He was easy to work with and made us feel comfortable the whole time. Would definitely recommend using Toby for your next photography project!

Toby was the most professional photographer and easiest to work with. I could not have asked for a more responsive, flexible, likable and timely photographer and could not recommend him more. He dedicated weeks and various discussions to ensure the engagement photos were perfect and he has such an enthusiasm and love for what he does. He's extremely friendly, kind and passionate about making sure the photos are exceptional, and I so look forward to working with him again because he is THAT GOOD at what he does. Thank you, Toby!
