We hired Bob and Becky for our wedding back in 2020 but had to reschedule due to COVID. They were extremely flexible with switching our date for 2021, which we really appreciated. They are two of the sweetest and most sincere people that I have met and am so glad they were shooting our wedding. They were fun, energetic, silly, and most of all, made us feel comfortable and excited on our wedding day. Not only were they simply nice people, but the photos they took were AMAZING!!! They sent us over a sneak peek with ~10 photos no more than 24 hours after the wedding so that we could post some on social media. We got the rest of our photos about 4 weeks later through a website that we could send to friends and then download pictures directly from the site. After looking through the pictures, they truly captured it all. We love every single photo we got and could not be more thrilled that we hired them for our wedding. I definitely recommend them for any photography needs that you have! read more

The BEST. Period. Bob and Becky are an amazing team that will capture the heart of your party or event ... we saw the pictures of 2 other Bat/Bar Mitzvahs and a wedding they had done, wonderful. Our friends highly recommended them. After we met them & talked, we realized they really understand the process of documenting life events - so we went with them. We are so glad we did! They are so professional, responsive, insightful and easy to work with. They had great suggestions for photos that we didn't think of - and totally understood our directions of whom to photo and when. Plus they are delightful themselves! Our guests loved having them around and clicking away. They gave us photos/memories to last a lifetime! read more

My husband and I are pretty reserved, so hiring someone to take our wedding photos made us very nervous. Bob and Becky made us feel at ease, and we felt like they heard and understood our concerns. They had great recommendations and worked with our budget and timeline. On the event day, Bob was early, had scoped out the venue and sunlight so he could use our time wisely. During the ceremony he just blended in, so we didn't feel any more nervous about everyone looking at us. Our pictures were ready for viewing and sharing before we got back from our honeymoon. So glad our venue recommended Bob and Becky. read more

Bob and Becky Stender of Tibidabo Photography were a joy to work with on my wedding! They are incredibly organized and responsive, and day-of they kept things light, fun, and moving along! One of the most important things to me for my wedding vendors was to surround myself with positive, "can-do", roll with the punches, good vibes wedding vendors, and they were a huge part of making the day happy and stress-free! They also made great suggestions for beautiful backdrops I wouldn't have thought of, which really captured the beauty of Sonoma. Two thumbs up, Bob and Becky were great! read more

Bob and Becky are not just phenomenal photographers, they are phenomenal people full of fun and laughter! My husband and I used them for both our engagement photo session and for our wedding photos and we could not be more pleased. For our engagement session, we had Bob and Becky meet as at Point Reyes to venture into Point Reyes Station and some marshes for our photo shoot. We had such a fun time with them both. Bob and Becky made the experience comfortable when both of us initially felt a bit awkward with our poses. Our photos turned out fantastic and they even were able to get some amazing panoramic shots. I don't know how it is possible, but they were even better at our wedding at the Lodge at Sonoma! Bob and Becky captured every little detail (even ones we missed) of our special day. They were flexible with our wedding timeline and even stayed a bit later past our contracted time allotment. We had such a blast with them throughout the entire process and we could not have found a better team to work with. We received our wedding photos back within a few weeks after the wedding! It was such a great treat to browse through the lovely photos when we returned from our honeymoon. Even the CD was packaged perfectly. I definitely noticed Becky taking the time to add ribbons to our thumb drive that matched our wedding colors and I appreciate the thoughtful gesture. Thank you Bob and Becky. Vendors like you are what make the wedding process flow smoothly! Hopefully we will find an occasion to use your services again soon! read more

We used Tibidabo photography for our wedding on April 12, 2014 at Trentadue winery. If you want the dream team for your wedding, look no further, you've found them. Not only are Bob and Becky very talented photographers, they are also a great team. I'm sure part of it comes with being married, but they are so intuitive with the shots when they work together that they never miss a moment. If you're like me, posing for hundreds of photos sounds about as good as a root canal. That is the great thing about them, they capture these candid moments that are stunning and even the few posed pictures they have you do still look natural under their guidance. And did I mention that they are the nicest people ever? They are like clouds of calm - and trust me, on your wedding day, you need that. No pressure people, which is very rare in the wedding industry. How did i find them you ask? I had admired my friend's wedding pictures for years and when it came to be my turn to plan my wedding, I asked her straight away who her photographer was. Spoiler alert: it was Tibidabo. I'm pretty people are going to be admiring my wedding photos now, not because of me and my husband (even though they made us look damn good), but because the artistry and beauty in these pictures are a reflection of our photographers passion for what they do. Go with Tibidabo, you won't be disappointed. read more

Bob and Becky were a pleasure to work with for my wedding! I love how they fed off each other to get the perfect shot. Even our family mentioned how they were so patient and accommodating to our requests. We love our photos and want to use them again for future celebrations! read more

Bob and Becky came highly recommended to us from a friend who's brother used them for his wedding a couple of years ago. From the initial meeting over beers to the actual day of, they set our minds at ease and were able to catch the best sides of two people who do not love having their pictures taken. We were initially hesitant to do an engagement shoot, but decided to do so once we realized we wouldn't be bringing our dog to the wedding, so that would be our best opportunity to get some good photos with her. Bob and Becky used the shoot both as a chance to get to know us as a couple, and more importantly get to know how we photographed so the wedding day would run more smoothly. They are super creative, and fun to work with. They did all the traditional shots of us, our families, and the bridal party, and also took a lot of the surroundings, the decor and the guests. They are so flexible, and listened to any ideas or suggestions we had, though for the most part we put ourselves in their capable hands and did what we were told, with wonderful results. Now we just have to choose which pictures to print! read more

My wife and I used Tibidabo Photography for our June 1 & 2 wedding at BR Cohn Winery in Sonoma. We could not be happier. I, myself, am a photographer and I was quite nervous about selecting a photographer for our wedding. Bob and Becky were recommended by our wedding coordinator and from the first moment we sat down with them we knew we were in good hands. Not only are they down to earth and professional they are also fun to work with. They worked with us on every request and they brought a ton of patience and creativity to the table too (two vital elements for a successful wedding). Having both Bob and Becky work our wedding was perfect because each of them has their own unique style and approach that compliments the other. Two enthusiastic thumbs up! read more

Tibidabo Photography did a magnificent job for us at our 50th wedding anniversary party! Bob was there before the party started to photograph the set up beforehand and took lots of pictures during our very special event. He was very accommodating to us and our guests and always had a smile on his face. He truly loves his work! I highly recommend Tibidabo Photography! Thank you Bob and Becky for your friendly and very helpful service! read more

Bob and Becky did an incredibly job at our wedding. They really have an eye for composition, and they captured so many photos it's hard to choose the ones we want for an album. They helped us think of all the combinations we would want for our family photos. They also had us come out for some sunset photos during the ceremony. They are great at getting all types of photos: posed and candid pictures, action shots, scenery, etc. read more

Bob & Becky are the one on one team you'd want to work with for any photo job. They perform so eliquently and put their magic behind the cameras and capture beautiful, lovely, and FUN images. They did an excellent job with our S. Lake Tahoe wedding in Sept. We can't thank them enough and express our gratitude for having them work with us. read more

Becky and Bob met us in Sea Ranch over Thanksgiving weekend...so appreciated their willingness to scout locations, deal with the stormy skies and shoot our family on this magical vacation. Loved their creative energy and highly recommend them for any special moment that you would like to capture. read more

Holy Moley these are incredible photographers. I need to make a list to tell you all the reasons why so I don't miss anything: 1. Most important- the pictures came out amazing. Every single one. Beautiful and artistic. So many pictures that captured the light in the trees and by the water. Tons of candids of people laughing and smiling - a million little moments at the wedding that we didn't see. They got every single detail documented. 2. They were super stealth. Seriously. It was like they weren't even there most of the time. Invisible and gorgeous photography, I have no idea how they did it until I went to another wedding and saw them running around up and down hills, climbing walls and doing all sorts of crazy things that were basically invisible (except for to me as I was stealthily watching them work!) 3. They are absolutely lovely people. You can feel how much they love each other. And they are truly gentle souls. 4. They love taking pictures. This couple has a true joy in what they do. 5. The price was reasonable. I looked at a lot of photographers, and the ones who made the beautiful artistic photos and not the standard romance-y cliche shots were at least twice as expensive if not more. Anyway, I just got the pictures this week, I can't stop looking at them, and this review is my great big thank you to the best wedding photographers ever. read more

Bob and Becky are fantastic. They photographed our wedding and we couldn't be happier with the pictures. For our portraits, they tried a few styles and quickly figured out what worked for our silly personalities. The ceremony shots turned out lovely and perfect. All the pictures of our guests are great, which helps because the whole day was kind of a blur. The best part is that they're easy to work with and make you feel relaxed on your stressful, I mean special, day. read more

Becky did a fantastic job putting my kids at ease and capturing their personalities on film. She picked a great location and the right time of day. The results were great - colors were vivid, lighting was perfect, backdrops were gorgeous. She got some nice head shots of me for my business, as well. I would recommend her to any of my friends. read more

Bob and Becky did our photos for our wedding on September 4, 2011 and our engagement photos. Bob and Becky are a great pair, they have different photography styles that help create a variety of pictures during your special event. The thing I liked about Bob and Becky most was there enthusiasm for their craft, they were so happy and excited to do our wedding and could hardly keep their artistic ideas contained. We just received our wedding photos back and are so pleased with them. They caught all the special moments of that day without being in the way and hardly noticed. I couldn't be happier with they way they caught our wedding day. read more

Where do I begin? My husband and I were lucky enough to have Bob and Becky photograph our wedding in June and I have nothing but amazing feedback from our experience with them. We live on the East Coast so picking vendors was slightly difficult in that you have to rely heavily on internet reviews but we were able to have a sit down meeting with them both on our one and only trip out to Sonoma prior to the wedding. After spending 30 minutes in their studio chatting, we knew they were a great fit for our wedding. They were so down to earth and easy going, we felt like we could have hung out with them all day. Fast forward a year to the wedding weekend. Bob and Becky were kind enough to stop by our venue walk-through to make sure all details of the big day were accounted for and helped us to point out where certain pictures would take place. The day of the wedding, both of them took charge without being in your face, and kept the day on schedule all in their own calm, gentle, personable approach. They work so incredibly well together & their ease really helped keep my nerves calm. We received our pictures a few weeks ago which was amazingly quick and they are breathtaking. I can honestly say I sat at my desk at work and scrolled through them for a better part of the day just smiling and laughing and tearing up. They were able to catch all the details of the day that I missed and nailed our personalities in all of our candid shots. I can't imagine anyone being able to top the service we received from Bob and Becky. We're so thankful that they were part of big day and provided us with such touching and beautiful images to remember the day. read more

6 stars hands down. Becky and Bob are so wonderful. They made everyone feel comfortable. They are personable, professional, easy-going yet hard-working. They are AMAZINGLY!! We felt as if they belonged with our group at our wedding. Can't wait to see all the photos. I highly, highly recommend them and would utilize their services again without hesitation. Thank you, Becky and Bob. read more

Tibidabo Photography - Our wedding in Healdsburg. Thank you Becky and Bob - Event Photography Near Me - Santa Rosa, California

We used Bob & Becky for our wedding in Sonoma in July. Not only are the amazing photographers, they are great people. Always friendly, smiling, open to suggestions, offering useful direction on shots, taking unique angles that I would've never thought to shoot. They are both very talented. They work together to make sure everything is captured well. We couldn't have been happier with them -- and now 2 of our wedding guests are using them for their upcoming wedding! If you're looking for amazing photographers, look no further! Bob & Becky are the ones. Did I mention how nice they are? You'll want to remain friends with them when your event is over! read more

My sister and I both used Becky and Bob for our weddings. We both couldn't be more happy with the outcome. They are artist while they capture all the precious moments of your big day. No only are they amazing photographers, but they are also amazing people! They stayed clam and they stayed late. Im so grateful for their help! They are honestly the best! read more

I met Bob and Becky at a Bridal Expo in Santa Rosa and won a free engagement shoot with them. They did an absolutely amazing job. We were completely taken back with how good the pictures came out. It was a no brainer for us to choose them for our wedding photographers as well. They were, again, fantastic. They showed up early while we were getting ready, Bob went to photograph the boys while Becky came to the girls hotel. They got great detail shots and action shots of the whole day. Our venue didn't have great spots for family formals and wouldn't let us on site early to do first look shots so Bob and Becky drove around town the week before and found a beautiful spot for us. They were awesome. During the wedding they were practically invisible and got amazing shots. I love looking through our pictures and seeing all the moments they captured. They are great people and simply amazing photographers. I would definitely recommend them. read more

Without a doubt, with our full two hearts, we recommend Bob and Becky Stender for your wedding, for your special event--for any moments that you wish to remember for the rest of your life. First of all, they're so darned pleasant and thoughtful to work with. But never mind that-- the photos are to die for. At my VERY small wedding in a VERY tight, funky little hotel (summer, 2010) with crazy lighting challenges etc -- every shot is gorgeous. It's like watching a movie moving through the stills - they caught the story, the flow. We are an older bride and groom with an older group of family and friends -- and yet we look like a million bucks. Period. I don't know how they did that. They were wonderful, smiling, in-the-vibe participants who simply melted into the walls and caught it all. It's worth much more than you'll spend. If you're camera shy, take it from us -- we are all beautiful and the Stenders find a way to capture that in full color, in black and white, formally or with a candid feel. They didn't pay us to write this. We didn't get a break on the price. They don't even know we're doing this. We're just over the moon happy. read more

Bob and Becky from Tibidabo photographed our wedding on June 8. They were friendly and easygoing, and picked out some beautiful spots with great light for photographs. It was perfect to have a husband-wife team shooting our wedding, because Becky spent some time with me (the bride) and my bridesmaids before the ceremony, and Bob spent time with the groom and groomsmen. They knew exactly how to create perfect moments, even for group shots, and they took a ton of wonderful candid photos as well. I never feel comfortable in front of a camera, but Bob and Becky made it so easy. We just received the photos (only 2.5 weeks after the wedding - during wedding season!) and we LOVE them - couldn't be happier. To summarize: Bob and Becky were absolutely terrific, professional, creative, and really made our wedding day wonderful. We and our family and guests were so happy, and our pictures are amazing! read more
