ABOUT

14 Years. Four Camera Bodies. Calm, Reliable Support


I’m Toba — a professional photographer with 14 years of experience, now based in Milwaukee and actively building second shooting and associate photography relationships across Milwaukee and Chicago.

I bring full gear redundancy, a calm presence on wedding days, and a streamlined delivery workflow designed to support lead photographers seamlessly. My background in medicine has shaped the calm, detail-oriented, and people-aware approach I bring to collaborative wedding environments.

My role as a second shooter is simple: to capture what cannot be covered in one place at once, support the overall client experience, and contribute to a wedding day that runs smoothly from start to finish.
