Thanks to recommendations from couples on The Knot
Hi there! I've been photographing and filming weddings for about six years now after having worked in the news world for almost seven. From street scenes to portraits to festivals and celebrations, and to producing short documentaries for news outlets from CBS to the UFC, I love exploring life, people and the events that bring us all together.
When I document weddings, I strike a careful balance between getting those posed shots that you'll use on thank you cards, for Instagram posts and to send to your family, and then getting the organic or candid shots, the ones that show bursts of joy, surprise and excitement, as well as the more intimate moments during first looks, between mother and daughter in the bridal suite just before the ceremony, the calm, reflective (and maybe 2-shots deep) groom.
If the above sounds like a style that appeals to you PLEASE don't hesitate to reach out to learn more. I am here to answer any of your questions :)

Hello! After having worked for several years as a video journalist and as a current documentary filmmaker, searching for new perspectives is an obsession, and weddings are a wonderful playground for that sort of exploration. I love meeting new people and challenging myself to capture the details, scenes and emotions that comprise such an occasion.

Thomas was such a perfect fit for our wedding. My husband and I wanted someone who would strike a nice balance between being professional and then also easygoing and not too overbearing. A lot of other photographers seemed a bit too intense for our taste. Thomas ended up being such a pleasure to have at our wedding. Our families loved him and the photos he sent us were spectacular :)

We looked at a lot of photographers but none put us at ease like Thomas did. He is very down to earth and within a minute of talking to him on the phone we knew we were going to book him. The day of the wedding he was professional, helpful and most of all fun to be around (my family also loved him). The photos themselves were spectacular. He has a great eye and we highly recommend him to anyone else out there trying to pick a wedding photographer :)

Thomas did an amazing job with our mini wedding photos. We love the candid photos Thomas took - a lot of them we did even realize we're taken. We're so grateful to have these memories of that day.

Thomas is really a unique photographer who truly cares about capturing the kinds of photos you want for your wedding day. He's very professional but also has such a great eye for candid moments, which is what we really wanted. We are not the greatest at posing for the camera, but he really made us feel comfortable and put us at ease with his direction and humor. If you're having trouble choosing a photographer, just go with Thomas. You won't be disappointed :)

We wanted photos that felt personal and unique and Thomas was able to give us just that. He was very professional and helpful during the whole day. He also sent us more than a thousand edited photos!! Most of which were stunning. Don’t think twice for hiring him for your special day!

I feel so lucky to have stumbled on Thomas’ profile and website. He is not only an exceptional photographer but a kind and easygoing guy who but myself and my husband at ease on our wedding day. I was also so surprised at how good his photos were, in the sense that he captures things and moments I wouldn’t have thought would look so beautiful. You cannot go wrong with him!!!!

Wow! Thomas is a real deal photographer: loves his job, professional but not stiff, and we loved his candid/photojournalistic style. He was super easy to get a long with on the day of the wedding and, honestly, helped us relieve a lot of stress. He posed us for photos but wasn't overbearing. And when we got back the photos we'd be lying if we said we didn't shed a tear or two (sometimes from laughter). Couldn't recommend him more!!!! :)

Can't say enough good things about Thomas. He was so easy (and enjoyable!) to work with. Professional yet fun, relaxed, affordable, helpful, quick to respond, personable, and most importantly took amazing quality photos. He has a way of capturing every moment without interfering or forcing poses. There were multiple times when I thought or said "Where's Thomas, we need a picture of this" and he was already there in the background capturing it. Highly recommend!

Thomas is incredibly friendly and professional. Get used to hearing “One more photo.” LOL. He’s very open to ideas from his clients but I feel his are better. We saw his candid pictures portfolio and knew he was the photographer we wanted for our wedding reception. Modestly priced. I have no regrets hiring him. I will hire him again in the future if I need a photographer. Hire this man! Thank you!

Do not hesitate, book this vendor for your wedding. We found Thomas via TheKnot, and immediately loved his portfolio. Unlike other wedding photographers, he has a natural ability to capture the little moments between moments that matter the most on your wedding day. He was prompt, professional and sincerely enjoyable to work with. He was also able to handle all of the different personalities of our family, which is no easy task. We also ended up adding his videography services as well, and we’re so happy that we did. Booking Thomas and his affiliate Paul was the best decision we made in our wedding planning!

Tom was a pleasure to work with! He really is like he advertised: a fly on the wall! We had a small, very intimate 8 person ceremony, including ourselves, Tom, and the officiant. I didn't notice Tom during the ceremony at all until I saw the pictures he delivered afterwards. He gave us beautiful, close up, and very intimate shots (and plenty of angles) of the ceremony that were amazing considering I didn't notice him zooming around during it at all. In total, His pricing was very reasonable and he was very professional to work with.

Wow. The photos Thomas took at our wedding were some of the most special moments captured throughout the day. He has an uncanny ability to snap some beautiful and organic moments without even realizing he's around. He also adjusted incredibly well to the fading light as the day turned to evening. There was warmth in every shot. Highly recommend Thomas for any photography needs.

Thomas was an amazing photographer for our small COVID wedding in September. I couldn’t be more thrilled when I received the photos. He captured the true essence of the intimacy of the evening. His candid photos were my favorite. He really reflected the emotions of the people who were present in a phenomenal way. I was so impressed that I will be hiring him again when we have our large reception when COVID is over. Not only were the photos everything I wanted, he got them to my so quickly! I would highly recommend Thomas for wedding photography.

5 stars! Thomas Hedges Photography and Videography Princeton was the best decision we made for our microwedding in July.
We had to postponed our destination wedding to July 2021, but wanted to keep our original date.
He was very understanding of our needs for our outdoor microwedding and went above and beyond to capture the intimate day.
Despite the summer weather, mask requirements, and social distancing- Thomas Photography and Videography Princeton captured the most important moments of the day.
We are thrilled that we get to relive our wedding day through the 5 minute highlight reel and library of photos!

Thomas Hedges saved my wedding day. While on a tight budget, I was looking for a photographer for a very small wedding but having photos was very important to us. I could not find anyone within my budget when suddenly a message from Thomas appeared and he said he could do it for us in cash. He was punctual, well mannered and a delight to have with us. He took 1,500 candid shots of us, laughing, drinking champagne and captured the happiness and deep expressions, as well as our legs on the dance floor! Thomas was confident and professional. He has a gift for photography. Thank you, Thomas. I would hire him again!

Thomas is such a great photographer! He took beautiful photos of our wedding- my husband and I were in tears when looking at the results. He listened to exactly what we wanted and really understood our style. He also has such a great personality and was super kind, accommodating, and easy to work with. Hire him!

What an amazing photographer! The process of getting Thomas booked was very simple. He sent us his rates and we decided on a package, which was à la carte, I might add. His rates were reasonable, and after seeing the other reviews, we went ahead and booked him. He was very nice and professional over the phone. At the wedding itself, he was like a fly on the wall! I barely noticed him taking photos, and all of the candids turned out amazing. He really knows how to take a good photo. He estimated the photos would take up to a week or so, but much to our surprise, he got them to us within a few days. I was at first skeptical, since that seemed too quick of a turn-around, but the photos themselves were wonderful and we couldn't be happier. We'll probably never look that good again. 10/10 would recommend!

The Knot - We were absolutely thrilled to have Thomas photograph our wedding. I knew we’d made the right decision the first time we spoke on the phone: he was kind, relaxed and very attentive to our needs. The day of the wedding was no different. He showed up early and had such a positive presence. The guests loved him. The photos themselves were simply breathtaking. If you are looking for someone with an exceptional eye, someone who knows how to capture delicate moods just as much as the overt expressions of joy, then Thomas is your guy.

Thomas did a wonderful job covering the wedding. He was calm, funny yet understood when to be assertive and direct for pictures. When we received the photos a few days later we were blown away. His attention to detail and ability to capture mood, expression and precious moments is exactly what we wanted for our wedding day. They were also just visually stunning. Book him without hesitation!

I was so impressed by Thomas' ability to strike a balance between being relaxed and professional. He was funny, friendly and made the whole process of taking family/friends photos completely harmless. When he wasn't busy directing for photos (which he only did for a few minutes and very efficiently), he was capturing amazing candids and interacting with our guests, who also spoke very highly of him. Couldn't be more happy with our decision to book him!

At the last minute, we decided that it would be great to have our special day recorded, so, after a quick search, I came across Thomas. Thomas was very easy to work with and was very professional. He produced a great product that we have been able to enjoy since we got married. He's awesome and we would definitely recommend.

Thomas was great to work with for our wedding. He has a great eye and was super responsive to our preferences. We had a wedding in the forest, and he went above and beyond by hiking out on the trail to find the perfect spots for really unique shots. Would absolutely recommend him to other couples looking to document their special day using his authentic approach to visual storytelling.

Our Wedding was small and quaint, a few close family and a good friend performing the ceremony. Thomas captured the intimacy of the moment and transformed it into a captured memory for all time. Even a most precious moment, with a momentary slip up in the ceremony, he was able to capture that moment and preserve it for all time in a most magical manner. We will always be grateful for Thomas's work, professionalism and timely processing of our video.

Thomas did an excellent job filming our wedding! I absolutely love the highlight reel and the ceremony recording is something my wife and I will cherish forever. Thomas and his partner were very kind, patient, and energetic people. They made us feel comfortable and it was easy to be ourselves during the video shoot. I highly recommend!

We didn't really have a traditional wedding -- opted instead for a crab feast with our closest friends and family at a park on the bay. Thomas did an awesome job at capturing the low key yet beautiful experience, and we will forever cherish the pictures he took for us! My husband and I are not usually super interested in getting our picture taken, but Thomas made the whole event smooth and easy!
