About this vendor
Hello! Since I like to get to know all my clients, I thought I would talk about my self a little so you have a chance to get to know a little about me. I studied Electrical Engineering at CSULB which I graduated from in 2009 with a B/S in EE, but I always had a passion for photography. I always had a DSLR and would always take pictures at various events. So I knew I wanted to do something in the photography world. In 2014 I began photographing weddings professionally as a 2nd photographer.
In 2016 I launched my own company and going out on my own. I am very passionate about photography and am always learning how I can improve my photos. I am always taking workshops to further enhance my skills.
Some personal things about me are that I have two awesome dogs named Dexx and Lili who I always take hiking with me whenever I have a chance. I also love deep sea fishing, I go out a few times a year for days at a time. I am a big fan of Game of Thrones and I am also a die-hard Lakers fan! Anyways thank you for taking the time to read through all of this. I hope we get to work together :) If you have any questions please feel free to contact me by email or text. If you chose to call please leave a voice mail as I usually screen all calls due to the number of spam calls I receive. Thank you and have an awesome day!

Brandon did an amazing job on our engagement photos & photographing our wedding! My husband & I have never really been photographed professionally so we didn’t know what to expect when we met Brandon for our engagement shoot, but Brandon did such a great job making it a relaxed & easy process. He even picked up on our tendency to not take ourselves too seriously & be silly & made the process a lot of fun. The results were beautiful photos that really captured us as a couple.
As for the wedding, Brandon was on top of it! With all the craziness happening on the big day, one thing we knew we didn’t need to worry about was our photographer. Brandon & his assistant Thuan were prepared, professional & pretty much everywhere capturing special moments. We didn’t worry about trying to make sure certain moments were captured because Brandon & Thuan were there making it happen. Brandon has a really great & creative eye - he gets the “traditional” wedding photos & mixes it up with unique & creative shots so in the end you’ll have a well rounded wedding album that captures all the emotions & special moments throughout the big day.
Also, if you select a package that includes an album, Brandon really puts consideration into the layout of your album & makes sure every photo is edited perfectly so you’re left with a beautiful memento.
Brandon was very professional as our photographer for our wedding and our engagement shoot. The pictures were so creative and came out so great. We were so impressed to get our photos so quickly after our wedding (less than a week)! His assistants were also great and so friendly. He made it easy to pose for photos and cued us the whole time so that they looked more natural. The album that he made for us is just gorgeous and we are so excited to have that as a beautiful memory of our special day.
I found Brandon in my search for a photographer for my wedding (that was only a few short months away at the time). From the day I first contacted Brandon to now (1 month post-wedding), Brandon has been a true professional. Brandon responded promptly to any and all of my many questions and he and his team were on time, understanding and flexible with last minute wedding changes and a pleasure to work with throughout the entire day. And we LOVE our photos! I would absolutely recommend Brandon Toma Photography for your wedding or any special event.
Couldn't be happier with the quality of work that Brandon and his team produce. Their ability to maintain composure and a good sense of humor while dealing with the chaos of my family was impressive.
We would refer anyone to them.
My Wife and I found Brandon when searching for a photographer. He was very accommodating and professional the whole time! From our initial meeting, until the delivery of the photos. He worked with us to help us plan most of our wedding details. After seeing the beautiful work he had already done we knew we had to have him photograph our special day! He was able to capture every moment we discussed and deliver the photos in a timely fashion despite us living in San Francisco. Very professional and comfortable to work with! I would most definitely recommend him!
Brandon was wonderful! Really took the time to understand what I was going for for our shoots. On my wedding day, he arrived early to make sure he had time to prep. He was patient and friendly. I felt very comfortable with him as my photographer, as that was very important to me. He was able to capture our special moments without us even knowing he was taking pics of us! We were also able to touch up the pictures promptly and were given to us much faster than expected. They all turned out great! Brandon was also very responsive with any questions I had. I’m so happy we had him as our photographer! Thank you again, Brandon!
Brandon, and his assistants Eveline and Thuan, worked my wedding on October 27 in downtown Los Angeles. My husband, our families and I are thrilled with the results. We were afraid that the lowly lit romantic setting of the venue would create a problem, but the photos turned out beautifully, and they captured multiple angles of every detail and event.
We also opted for their photobooth option... and let me tell you - WHAT A HIT!! The sparkly pink backdrop was gorgeous, the props were fun and the do it yourself interface of the screen was easy to use (you can even redo shots!). My guests used the photobooth nonstop. We also arranged to have 20+ family portraits taken. These photos turned out perfect and are so special my family is printing them for all of our family members to have and cherish.
On the day before our reception, my hair stylist called in sick on me, and was unable to procure a replacement in a timely manner. I panicked and reached out to everyone I knew, including Brandon. Within one or two hours Brandon had secured a well known professional hair stylist for me!! Talk about last minute, above and beyond service!
Finally, and perhaps most important, Brandon and his team were professional, punctual, flexible, respectful and have great vision. With all that you get, their price is a steal. I would recommend Brandon and his team to any bride-to-be!
Brandon and his team were great, very professional and offered great insight. We where completely satisfied with his work and recommend Brandon for your event.
Brandon was one of the sweetest people to work with. His entire team was great! We met up with him to arrange photography for our Wedding back in October. Showed us albums and even helped out by experience on our scheduling. Price was what we were looking for by comparison. Made sure we didn’t miss out on the best outdoors lighting period to take couple photos. Very responsive to phone calls and emails. He made the entire process fun, comfortable, and easy to work with. We didn’t really have any ideas on where and how to pose, and he did a great good job on coming up with locations and ideas. Pictures came out beautiful!!! Love!! Thank you, Brandon.
Being newly engaged, my fiancé and I wanted to capture this special event by having pictures taken. Brandon Toma Photography came highly recommended from a friend who had hired him for their engagement pictures. Needless to say, it was the best decision we made. We were nervous about being in front of the camera but Brandon made us feel comfortable and relaxed. Brandon was approachable and available for any questions I may have had and even provided a changing tent for us if we wanted to change outfits! He even tracked the sunset and suggested a slightly different venue to make sure we could fully capture the sunset for our beach pictures! Professional, fast and stunning pictures!
I would happily give 10 stars if I could. Brandon and his rockstar assistant arrived ready to capture all of our beautiful moments, with a price we could work with!
While our wedding took place in Pasadena, CA the ceremony, wedding party photos, (Bride/groom) prep photos, and reception photos were all located in different area of the city. As a stressed out bride, I did have some worries if this was possible, but Brandon and his assistant totally made my dreams come true! They were at each location helping getting every shot we dreamed of. They even added some great idea that turned up absolutely beautiful. Brandon was getting the perfect angle and shot while in weeds, the bright sun, and in crowded areas at Pasadena City hall. He absolutely did EVERYTHING in his power to make everything look beautiful. Its been just about 2 week since my wedding and I already can't wait to work with him again!!
Partner with Brandon for your special day. You may regret it if you dont :)

A New Mrs.
Brandon and his crew were very professional and easy to work with, They took direction very well and very accommodating, We met with at least 12 different photographers before deciding to go with Brandon and his team, We obviously made the right decision. We had our photos within 2 weeks of our wedding via email, very professional pictures we were pleased with the quality of pictures and pictures we didn't expect to see were also shot. We decided to get the 12x12 album and got it 3 days after we confirmed what we wanted in the album. Brandon also works with a video-grapher which was Scott from SVT studios..... what more can we say about the video just awesome
Brandon Toma Photography was outstanding from the moment our session started working with them until the end of the wedding night. Our wedding was at a church in downtown LA, follow by a reception about 30 minutes away. Both Brandon and his 2nd photographer were both very professional and captured every moment we wanted, plus more that we didn't even know were going on. Thank you very much!
We were unbelievably happy with the photos that Brandon and his team took of our wedding. They were able to capture the whole event from start to finish seamlessly. Not only did they document our wedding so we can reminisce for years to come, the photos are gorgeous and look like they came out of a magazine. Brandon was a pleasure to work with, professional, and went above and beyond to get us the shot we wanted. The turn around time for our pictures was also very fast. I will be recommending him to my friends.
I would totally recommend Brandon! 5 Stars! I loved the way my photos turned out. The picture quality was amazing! I was very surprised by the fast turn around time. He was able to get me over 1000 pictures in about 1 week!!
Brandon did really great job in our wedding considering that we only met few minutes before the wedding. He was very friendly, charming and professional We highly recommend him, you will not regret it.
The photos we received from our wedding are simply stunningly amazing we cannot stop looking at them. I really don't know how he can turn an ordinary place into an amazing place. He does have the eyes for photos that ordinary people like us don't. Brandon has truly exceeded our expectations. He is well worth every penny.
Brandon and his team took our engagement photos at a beach in Malibu last Nov. Brandon was easy to work with, has great communication, efficient, and proactive. He has a great eye and knows how to give you direction to capture the perfect shot. I am thoroughly impressed with the entire experience and the finishing product is simply beautiful. My friends and family all raved about the quality of the pictures, which we surprisingly received in less than three weeks!
Our wedding took place over the weekend and we used Brandon for our wedding photos. The day was hectic but Brandon knew how to calm us down. He helped pose us while taking many candid photos. Our family and friends all enjoyed his energy and look forward to seeing the photos. Thanks again Brandon for all your hard work!
Brandon was amazing and professional. He made me and my wife feel comfortable in front of the camera. The pictures turned out great with a quick turnaround time! He perfectly captured every moment and would recommend him to everyone.
