Thato Dadson Images

Please do yourself the favor of hiring Thato as your photographer for your wedding day. He is not only an amazing photographer that listens well and incorporates your wedding vision and is so skilled at what he does. But, he also is just so kind and personable. He works well with other vendors, and the wedding party. He also works exceptionally well with you, the person getting married. He's organized and flexible, but he's a calming presence amidst the wedding day chaos.

I have nothing but amazing things to say about Thato Dadson and his amazing team. He did our engagement shoot and our wedding shoot this past Sunday and we couldn’t be happier. The engagement shoot was amazing so I can only imagine what our wedding shoot will look like in addition to videography and Photo Booth! Not only did he calm our nerves during the shoots, but he made it so much fun and relaxing! Our guests cannot stop raving about how amazing our photography team was and I’ll just say, Thato and team have moves and know how to have fun on the dance floor! It was great to see the vendors having as much fun as the guests. But don’t get me wrong, they were 1000% professional the entire time while having a good time with us! What more could you ask for! If you need photography or videography for your wedding or any other events, look no further! I am so lucky to have found Thato through the knot and would choose him a million times again if I had to go back in time and select vendors again.

Thato Dadson is THE photographer to go with for any of your photography needs. We are so happy we went with him and his team for our wedding this past November. The photos and video came out amazing! He was easy to work with and made us (Two very awkward people) feel comfortable and listened to. Thato and his team also brought great energy to our big day and ensured our photo ops went smoothly. Fast and easy communication and updates were given throughout this entire process. We would recommend their services to everyone!

Thato and his team were absolutely amazing to work with for our wedding. They were timely, extremely professional, efficient, detail-oriented, and fun to work with on our wedding day. We did our engagement session with him, which was awesome and then got his photography, videography, and photo booth package and we are so grateful we did because now we will have so many amazing memories to look back on from our wedding.

Thato and his crew were so professional and sweet throughout the process. Good time management and making us feel calm throughout the day. They made sure our visions were met and made amazing additional ideas. We love our photos and videos/films (engagement, wedding). It's hard to choose which ones to hang on our walls!

Thato and his team were BEYOND AMAZING to work with throughout our entire wedding planning process and wedding experience! From having an online video call with Thato to e-meet him and find out more about his photography and videography services, to our engagement shoot, to the wedding day, he is a master behind the camera and captured photos that completely exceeded our expectations. We did an engagement shoot with him prior to the wedding, and we were in awe of his incredible photography, and loved how easy and comfortable he made us feel since my now-husband and I had never worked with a professional photographer before. The engagement photoshoot was only a taste of the talented work he does. The photography and videography that he did for our wedding day was so extraordinary and his enthusiasm to get the best shots really shined through lens. If you are looking for astounding photos and videos to be captured of your wedding day with an even more astounding group of people to work with, look no further than Thato and his team!

We are so happy to have hired Thato for our wedding photography and engagement photoshoot. The images are beautiful and high quality. Additionally, he brought a positive and fun energy to our wedding day. Multiple guests remarked that it looked like he was having a great time. We would highly recommend Thato for your wedding photography!

From the engagement, shoot all the way through the wedding, Thato I was the most responsive vendor we dealt with. He was very open to our ideas and also brought fourth excellent ideas of his own. His enthusiasm for the job helped us get in the mood for both photoshoots. His assistant Nicki it’s just as amazing, even going as far as helping the bride and groom with things that had nothing to do with photographs. Don’t wait, don’t even put any more thought into it. Book him NOW!

Thato and his team did an amazing job! I’m very happy with his work and glad I had him as our photographer for our wedding. I would 1000% recommend!!

Thato not only nailed out engagement photos but rocked our wedding photos. As a fellow anime lover, he understand the creative task it took to bring our vision to life for our anime themed wedding. I am so excited to see what he cooked up! His talent is top tier!

I cannot speak highly enough of Thato and his crew. Our engagement and wedding photos (and wedding videography) look amazing! Communication was excellent and everyone commented on how fun the whole crew was. Highly recommend!

Thato was AMAZING. So I was planning on having my friend be my photographer and I was looking for an "additional" photographer and my friend commented that she had Thato Dadson Images photograph her wedding, so I looked at his FB page and liked what I saw so I reached out. I ended up liking it so much that my friend shifted from main to additional photographer and Thato became the main photographer. I was doing all of the wedding planning without a planner so I had a LOT of questions of what is "typical" for a wedding package would be. Thato broke every "plan" down and then offered to help pick what was needed. He even had a video call to review his website and options that he has for the "special" photos. He also let me send him my Pinterest screen shots and see if we can do any of them with his plan. AND HE DID! He made note of all of the ideas i had and even reminded me what I requested (because day of I was slightly scatterbrained) Also, the friend that I had originally flaked out a few weeks before the wedding and I reached out to him frantic and asked if there were any last minute options to add another photographer from his company or someone he knows. Immediately he told me what options i had, how much of an additional cost it would be, and what to expect with the other photographer. During the reception he and his other photographer (I apologize I forget her name but she was FANTASTIC) were always RIGHT where we needed them & the shots were so candid! I promise you that you will not be disappointed!

Thato was absolutely AMAZING as our wedding photographer. My hair and makeup took longer than expected on our wedding morning, so I was initially worried about it pushing our photography schedule behind. But Thato got us back on schedule with his quick and efficient work, without making us feel rushed or like we were missing something. Thato and his team were friendly, easygoing, and fun to work with. They showed up early, stayed late, and were on the ball the entire time. Thato was super creative with our couples portraits which I loved- and the final product is stunning! Our photos turned out even better than I could’ve ever imagined. I would recommend Thato and his team over and over again to anyone getting married!!!

My wife and I recently had our wedding in November 2022. We can't thank Thato enough for capturing all of the special moments on our big day. He was extremely easy to work with and went out of his way to bring our ideas to life. He also had our wedding video back to us super quickly. I would highly recommend Thato to any couple!

We are thrilled to have hired Thato! He was so great to work with and I love our videos! A day we will never forget and I’m so happy to have it on film.

Thato and the team gave me the dream wedding photos I always wanted. I felt like an absolute princess, royalty. The photos and videos are top notch, and everyone comments on how well done they are. I have everything I ever wanted to remember the best day of my life. I cried looking at the pictures and video. Just such a wonderful job. Thank you guys so much for FAR exceeding the expectations of a huge perfectionist (me) and doing the best job anybody could do. I’ll be using this company for any important event I do, ever. Love you guys!!!!

Thato was extremely professional and made me feel so comfortable, the quality of work was out of this world. I highly recommend him to everyone. I’ve never been more happy with the videos and photos he’s given me.

Let me first say that we couldn’t be happier with the overall service we received from Thato Dadson and his team. We chose Thato for photography, videography, drone footage, and a Photo Booth for our wedding last October. He included an engagement session with videography last June which was a nice touch and a great way to meet the team. He is truly a master of his craft! From his amazing photography skills to seemingly small details like meticulously planning out the perfect time of day to catch the “golden hour” for some truly breathtaking shots. He even helped us coordinate the timing of our wedding so we would have excellent lighting for our photos. We loved the whole experience with Thato. Nothing felt like your typical cookie cutter wedding photo routine. He planned out some unique and fun poses and shoots that had our bridal party and family laughing and smiling all day. It made for an album and video that felt very customized and tailored to our personalities and preferences. He captured every detail of our special day so we can keep these memories for a lifetime! It’s crazy how fast the day flies by, which is why the pictures and videos are so important. I couldn’t believe that he had a preview album with about 50 pictures and a teaser video ready for us the day after our wedding! We had the rest of the album and the full video not too long after that. I know a lot of friends that waited weeks and months to get something back from their photographer. I also have to comment that the editing of the wedding video was unbelievable. We watched it for the first time with our family and there wasn’t a dry eye in the room. It was truly beautiful. I would recommend Thato Dadson images to every single on of my friends. You will not find a better photographer!

Thato did an amazing job documenting our wedding for us. His energy and professionalism are unmatched. He worked well with everyone, and made the whole process easy even though we're not used to being filmed. He even customized a package to my exact wants and helped us stick to the budget. He delivered the preview video within a week after the wedding, which was the icing on the cake, since the actual day goes so quickly, it was really nice to be able to relive the day and I was overjoyed by this service. Thank you Thato!

Thato photographed our December 2022 wedding. He did great work at every step of the process, from helping us figure out what we wanted to following up with the finished product afterward. Communicating with him was always quick and easy, and he delivered on everything he promised. Perhaps most importantly, he brought an affable warmth and humor to the wedding day itself. Neither one of us is a particularly natural photographic subject, but Thato guided us into some of the best photographs we’ve ever taken (many guests have, unprompted, praised the quality of the photos; I’m mostly impressed at how natural we look in them, like especially happy and nice-looking versions of ourselves, which I guess is what we were). More generally, he did an excellent job balancing putting people at ease, keeping the atmosphere fun and celebratory, and giving good enough instructions to produce a bunch of great photos quickly. We happily recommend Thato’s wedding photography!

Thato and team were very professional and efficient. On your wedding day, you don't want to be posing for hours on end. We were able to get such great footage in a short amount of time. I loved the drone shots he did as well. The end result made me cry and was so beautiful. He definitely was able to capture the love and fun that we were looking for. 11/10!!

Thato and his team did OUTSTANDING work for our wedding! They were very fun to work with, easy going, and relaxed, but every bit as professional and efficient. They made the entire process seamless, and we were never overwhelmed. They also offered a very reasonable price point so I definitely didn’t feel like I was overpaying. They are honest as well, as we had accidentally overpaid at one point and Thato let us know that we had done so and paid us back. The pictures turned out beautiful and the videography work was breathtaking! I had chills watching our wedding trailer, and our entire family and friends were overjoyed to receive it. Not to mention, we immediately received pictures only a couple days after the wedding so we could start enjoying them right away, and the wedding trailer took only week to receive. Such efficient yet extremely high quality work. I will be recommending Thato Dadson images to everyone I know getting married.

We had such a great experience with this company taking photos and video of our son's wedding! They were so easy to work with and really got great photos. They had ideas of fun shots to get that we never would have thought of. We were blown away that the very next day we had a sample of photos from the wedding and a video short that made us all tear up! Highly recommend them.

Thato was amazing! So great to work with every step of the way. Very reasonable price for a very high quality product. Everyone in our family was singing his praises during and after the wedding! 10/10 recommend!

We are so thankful for Thato's photography and presence on our wedding day and leading up to it! The photos are excellent, capturing memories from key moments and including every guest with great table pictures. We've gotten lots of positive feedback about the artistic outdoor shots he took! Thato went above and beyond in terms of communicating with us and helping ensure key moments of the event went smoothly, both going with the flow and helping us stay on track.

Thato was wonderful ! Professional, courteous and the pictures were to die for. He did our engagement photos as well and we just loved everything. One of my friends saw my pictures and video and she is now in the process of hiring him for her wedding! Joey his partner did our video and I'm telling you it looks like a movie ! Book them !!

I'm so happy that I found Thato! From the engagement shoot to the delivery of the wedding photos, he was professional every step of the way. His pricing is very reasonable for the high quality of service that you get from him! My husband and I were so amazed at all the closeups he got during the ceremony because in the moment, we didn't even notice him there! As an interracial couple, he made both of us (and our families) look great in indoor and outdoor lighting, and composed really thoughtful portraits. Thato is very sweet, easygoing, and a calming presence to have on your wedding day. We will cherish his photos for years to come!

My husband and I hired a videographer for our wedding who ended up canceling on us 2 weeks beforehand with no replacement. A friend recommended Thato and he thankfully ended up being available for our big day. He was a joy to work with from start to finish and was so personable and kind. Don’t hesitate to book with him! I wish we had done so from the start.

Thato was extremely professional. Me and my now husband were both graduate students with our budget being so small, we eloped in a park. Thato was able to work us with our budget and on very short notice. I highly highly recommend!!!

Thato is THE. BEST. We worked together for a styled shoot and after that I knew I had to partner with him! His energy is completely infectious and he is SO GENUINE! He made our couple feel so comfortable that it perfectly translated into the photos. The whole team on site was smiling, laughing and completely vibing because of the atmosphere he created. In my experience, a photographer can make or break a mood. They are to be the most observant yet the happiest guest at your event. Their energy is infectious - good or bad - and no one likes a cranky vendor. But that is only the half of it. Thato’s work is STUNNING! When I saw the photos from the styled shoot I couldn’t take my eyes off the bride and groom. He was able to truly capture their love and it translated through the photo. And the scenery - OMG! I mean we were working with a beautiful venue BUT he really picked the best photo locations and poses that captured every angle. I wish I could give Thato more than 5 stars because that’s what he deserves! It’s a pleasure working with him - professionally and personally for my own events. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!

I used Thato Dadson Images as a photographer for my daughter's bridal shower in March 2022. I wanted special photography for this special day and Thato captured it perfectly. He suggested some creative shots for the posed pictures and the candid shots were amazing too--capturing true expressions and making you look good at the same time! In addition to his great work, Thato was also very reasonably priced. And his smile made you smile!! You won't be disappointed with Thato!

Knowing Thato for a very long time since college, I've been both of us grow in our fields of photography and video. Thato I knew was the guy for the job to film me and my wife's wedding. Every anniversary we go back and reflect on our wedding that was captured.

My mom hired Thato to photograph my bridal shower, and I'm so glad she did! Thato was everything you want in a photographer - friendly, warm, professional, calm, & creative. He struck a good balance between posed/organized shots and candids, which in my opinion is where his work really shined - he captured special (and sometimes funny) moments with the women I love most in this world, and I will treasure those images for a long time to come. My family rarely takes photos together, and we really appreciated how go-with-the-flow Thato was, agreeably snapping photos of all the various family and friend combinations that we pulled him over to. He was so flexible, he even agreed to stay a few hours longer than planned so that my fiance and I could get photos on Broad St. with Philly City Hall in the background! All of the photos came out beautifully, and I'm really happy we have such high-quality, lasting documentation of my shower, instead of just phone pics. I definitely recommend Thato for all your photography/event needs!

Thank you so much , Thato for sharing your time, talent and treasure with us on the most important day of our lives. You captured all the magical moments of our Beautiful Wedding Day in the most special way. Your attention to detail and keen eye are your gift to everyone who is fortunate enough to have invited you to take their photographs. You are an artist with a lens as your brush, creating images that we will cherish for our lifetime. Our wedding photos are works of art and now your artful compositions share more of our story. With Deep Gratitude, ~Shawn and Rachelle

Easily the best experience with a photographer to date! There were all sorts of confusion at the wedding due to covid and somehow, he found a way to capture every important moment on camera. I envy your skills and would like to thank you for doing such a great job for my family. You are such a talented photographer, and we were thrilled with the results of your work

Thato arrived early to walk the property and find the best lighting and worked with us to cover all types of shots I was hoping to get. He was very accommodating and handled requests from our friends and family in stride. Our pictures came out beautifully!

Thato was incredible! His presents was so warm yet exciting. We had Thato capture a First Look and Ceremony for our wedding. He captured everything perfectly and we received our pictures back quickly. Our guests who were previously married even expressed how much they wish Thato would have been their photographer! I couldn't have been happier. 1,000% recommend!

Thato was very down to earth and easy to communicate with especially after changing our date three times due to Covid… His work turned out beautiful I’m so glad I went with him as our videographer!!

Thato is amazing! Thato photographed our wedding day and he did such an incredible job at making us feel so comfortable behind the camera. The photos turned out beautifully and way better than we could have ever even imagined, his attention to detail is like no other & the turn around time is always great! I highly recommend Thato Dadson Images for all of your photography needs!!

We wanted a great camera man who can capture unthought of moments on a very special day & makes you cherish them for the rest of your life. Thato Dadson images did just that & more. He showed us 800 + photos of our traditional wedding & left us wanting 1000 more. Thank you for being professional & exceptional! My wife & I would highly recommend his company to capture all of your special life moments.
