Thato Dadson Images

ay. 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.

ade amazing additional ideas. We love our photos and videos/films (engagement, wedding). It's hard to choose which ones to hang on our walls!

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!

ergy 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!

eas 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!

e themed wedding. I am so excited to see what he cooked up! His talent is top tier!

how fun the whole crew was. Highly recommend!

ages 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!

graphy 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!!!

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!

ll 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!!!!

videos and photos he’s given me.

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!

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!

terward. 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!

f 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!!

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.

ts 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.

er the wedding! 10/10 recommend!

uest 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.

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 !!

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!

ng 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.

nd on very short notice. I highly highly recommend!!!

ple 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!!!!

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!

dding. Every anniversary we go back and reflect on our wedding that was captured.

uck 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!

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

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

ts from our friends and family in stride. Our pictures came out beautifully!

ctures 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!

our videographer!!

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!!

. 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.
