Tom was such a wonderful part of our wedding, and we can’t recommend him enough! After Tom shot my sister’s wedding, I knew he’d be a perfect fit for our wedding, as well. Tom’s personality is very relaxed and he made us feel completely at ease throughout the entire process, from booking to engagement photos to planning, and of course the wedding day itself. Throughout the day it seemed like Tom was everywhere capturing so many beautiful moments behind the scenes, but his presence was always subtle. He quickly worked through posed portraits which gave us tons of time to relax and enjoy the day. The photos turned out so beautifully and we are so grateful to have wedding photos we’ll cherish forever!
Tom was a second shooter at our wedding but I must say his personality and photos really wowed us and I would use him again in the future. He was so easy to work with and really captured some amazing photos at our wedding! Thanks so much Tom!
Tom was awesome! Since our first meeting, he always seemed very invested in our wedding. He was professional, funny, super easy to work with, and efficient! Overall, he was a pleasure to work with throughout the entire planning process!
Polite. Professional. Phenomenal.
I found Tom originally when searching online for wedding photographers. I was actually pretty discouraged as I scoured album after album of multiple photographers work. What I missed in them all wasn't their lack in technical photographic ability, but they were void in capturing moments. The moments and exchanges of love during our wedding is what meant the most to us and what we hoped would be captured by our photographer. The photos I found with people all seemed staged until I saw Tom's photos. From that moment, I could not email him fast enough to inquire about his availability for our wedding and the rest is history.
Tom Forrest cares about what weddings truly mean, and he brings every ounce of energy to be present, focused and mindful to the moments throughout your entire wedding day. Tom provided us with hundreds of photos, each of which he then shared in color and black & white. His work is astounding and there were so many photos that we wanted to share that it was like choosing a grilled cheese sandwich at the Melt, but you just cannot go wrong. The following are some of the elements worth recognizing that brought us fulfillment in Tom's work, and we hope to capture as many details as we can that resonated with us that you may be seeking too.
Tom is passionate about all aspects of his profession, and he is incredibly talented in his technical ability and in aesthetic composition. Everyone of his photos is a piece of art. His intent focus and presence the entire day produced countless photos of various distance, depth of field, seriousness and moments of fun. He captured motion and emotion, portraits and group shots, scenery and sensation and so much more. All the while we and others after the wedding commented how they never saw him and couldn’t believe the photos he took. Tom was "invisible in the scene”, not wanting to bring any attention to himself yet somehow was right there to catch the smile, tear or gesture of affection between us or our guests. We love looking at our photos because he photographed all of our family and friends who we got to see celebrating with us. We felt we never missed a moment of our wedding with all that he captured—he even photographed the band members playing for our big day and our lovable dog early on.
Again, it wasn't only his talent, but his person-ability, genuine care for us and the energy he put into all aspects of his work that earned his ultimate 5-star rating. Tom is a gem of a photographer in Cleveland.
We couldn't be happier with Tom! He captured our wedding day beautifully and we were extremely happy with how our pictures turned out. Tom was wonderful to work with. He was very prompt on replying back to emails and was always willing to meet in person for my last minute bridal freak outs.
I am happy we chose Tom and would recommend him to anyone!
We found Tom online and fell in love with his style of photography. After viewing his portfolio we booked him a year in advance. The weeks leading up to our wedding day he was very helpful and made sure that he knew exactly which moments we wanted captured. The day of the wedding he was punctual and professional. We had so many family and friends coming up to us to compliment Tom on how friendly he was. When we received our final photo gallery about 3-4 weeks after the wedding, we were so surprised at all of the moments that he captured without us even knowing he was there. You can tell that photography is truly his passion and he is very flexible and accommodating to make sure that you get the shots you're wanting.
Book Tom Forrest now!
We had high expectations for a photographer -- and Tom more than exceeded them!
Our evening winter wedding presented lighting, weather and venue challenges – and we needed a photographer who could roll with uncertainty. We found that in Tom, and the end result was a fantastic portfolio that captured the real emotion and the important moments.
Friendly and professional, Tom took great care during the planning phase to ensure that he would be telling our story the best way possible. Tom spent time getting to know us – even though we lived out of state and communicated mostly through email and phone. He genuinely took an interest in our story, and that made us feel like more than just clients to him. As our day approached, he drew on his experience to help us shape our day in a way that accomplished everything we sought, and his wedding day timeline was tailored to our needs perfectly.
On our wedding day, Tom went above and beyond. He was a one-man photographic band, shooting artsy portraits of the bride’s accessories and the room décor one minute, and behind-the-scenes preparations the next. He easily corralled loud and large Italian and Irish families for group portraits and skillfully orchestrated the first look. During the ceremony and the toasts, we hardly noticed Tom was there. He blended in and did his thing while we did ours. During the reception, Tom cheerfully worked the dance floor. Through it all, Tom seemed to be having as much fun as we were.
He promised to get us our photos within three to four weeks of our wedding. And he kept that promise. We spent hours reviewing the images and reliving our day – laughing and crying at moments we witnessed and others that we hadn’t but that Tom had captured without us knowing.
Tom and his work were everything we had hoped to find and more. He is worth every penny, and you won’t be sorry you hired him!
Don't hesitate - book Tom! I worked with Tom for my wedding and I cannot say enough great things about him. I would book him again in a heartbeat for any future photo sessions. The pictures were beautiful and he worked so hard the entire day to make sure all moments were captured!
Tom Forrest is a spectacular photographer who delivers beautiful results with a photo-journalistic style. We loved his relaxed personality, his artistic style, and his ability to interact with us throughout both our engagement photos and throughout our wedding! He also gave me some excellent advise throughout the wedding planning process as I didn't have a wedding planner and was my go-to vendor when I had questions about the wedding day timeline. I knew that I loved his style upon seeing his portfolio and I have absolutely loved all of the photos that he has delivered to us! I would highly recommend him to any couple looking for an amazing photographer in the Cleveland area!
Tom was recommended by our wedding planner for his high quality work, photo-journalistic style, and relaxed personality. We did not take engagement photos, but did meet for a wedding prep session, which put me completely at ease that the wedding photos would turn out beautifully. The weather did not cooperate for our wedding day, but Tom did a great job of capturing beautiful outdoor photos. We even received many compliments from family members who were impressed with how well he worked through the posed portraits with all the little kids. The other impressive aspect was that he was able to get our "thank you" card photo turned around in about a week and our entire photo gallery in about 4 weeks. We also received a beautiful disc booklet with all our photos that is much more of a keepsake than I was expecting. Would use him again for future special event photo shoots.
If you are looking for true excellence, for your wedding photos, then Tom Forrest is the photographer for you.We recently got all of our photos back, and we are absolutely blown away. The word spectacular does not even cover how amazing our photos are. We requested that Tom capture the moment at the wedding rather than having staged pictures. Tom managed to do more than that, he has managed to give us a life long memory, with the most phenomenal photographs. He caught every smile, every look and most of all, he caught the love that my husband and I had for each other on our wedding day. He truly is a fantastic person to work with, he has a fabulous sense of humor and he is extremely discreet and professional. To say Tom has a talent is an instatement, is he exceptional. Being a bride and groom, you miss most of your wedding day being so busy, but Tom has given us the chance to live our day everyday, with the highest quality and the most beautiful memories. Tom came to us highly recommended and now we know why!! In addition, to our obsession over our photos, everyone on Facebook, Instagram, in the office has been reaching out to us wanting to know who took our photos. People have said to me multiple times, that they have never seen such 'incredible', 'astonishing' 'mesmerizing' photos. Tom Forrest... we cannot thank you enough for giving us the chance to live our wedding day everyday through our memories.
Tom Forrest is the best! My sister used Tom Forrest for her wedding photography 3 years ago and I was so impressed with him that I set my wedding date based on his availability! Tom is so easy to work with and is truly talented in his ability to capture those special moments during your big day. I highly recommend using Tom Forrest - you will not be disappointed!!!
Cool under pressure (and in the heat of a Cleveland summer wedding!) Tom and his team are incredibly professional and easy to work with - and, most importantly, his photography is AMAZING! We cannot wait to show off our album!
Working with Tom Forrest went above and beyond our expectations! He and Kevin captured every moment of our special day beautifully and professionally! Tom directed us with an easy and effective style, making the photo shoot an absolute breeze and so much fun. The photos are absolutely stunning! We highly recommend Tom Forrest Photography for your special day. You will be so pleased with the highly experienced and creative Tom Forrest! Thank you again, Tom!
Tom did an amazing job! He was so laid back, but incredibly professional. He does an amazing job at both posed shots as well as catching more of the photojournalistic shot. He was a little pricier than some of the other area photographers, but the cost shows in the quality of his work. During the ceremony and reception, my husband and I never even knew he was there because he blended in so well. He was incredibly genuine and easy going, making the posed shots enjoyable. Overall, a standout choice in personality and professional quality work.
Tom was wonderful for our wedding. He really took control of our large group and made sure we had several great locations. We were in contact with Tom in the weeks leading up to the wedding and afterwords we had several great pictures. Not the least expensive but well worth it. Our photos had a very natural look. He was great making them look good.
Tom has an eye for amazing pictures! Plus he is so friendly and easy to work with. He captured the feel of the ceremony and the reception. My pictures are so great, I want to print every single one...and that is 1500 pictures!!
One word, AMAZING! For our wedding day pictures were the most important thing to us, it is how we will remember the day forever. Tom was everything we hoped for. He captured everything from the shots you need to get to the real candid shots that really capture the day and all the special moments. He was able to control the guests and make sure we got pictures with everyone. Because of Tom, every part of our wedding day will be remembered forever!
Tom & his associate Kevin were great! They were very professional, friendly with our guests, and were willing to do anything (including sit down in a wet, muddy field) to get a great shot. We haven't seen the photos yet but I'm sure we won't be disappointed!
Tom and his assistant, Kevin, covered our wedding day. I greatly appreciate Tom's journalistic approach to weddings to capture the true emotion of the day. Prior to the wedding, Tom kept in consistent conversation and we had three meetings to discuss details of the wedding day. I greatly appreciated his organization and relaxed personality. I never thought I would work with a photographer who actually helped to keep me calm-- it was wonderful. The day of the wedding Tom was working hard but respectful, compassionate and relaxed the entire time. He provided the ideal amount of direction throughout picture-taking (not too much and not too little). He and Kevin worked well with our videography team and we felt so fortunate to have them capture our day!
Tom Forrest was absolutely amazing on my wedding day. He arrived well ahead of schedule and had wonderful ideas for different backdrops and poses. My bridal party thought he was absolutely hilarious, which made them loosen up and have fun with the bridal party pics. I got a sneak peek of my wedding pics on his blog and they look amazing! I would highly recommend Tom to all future brides and grooms!
Tom is great! We had so much fun at our engagement session and wedding. We chose him because my sister used him and we loved the pictures so much. His albums are beautiful, and he gives you a CD to make as many prints as you want. It takes him a little bit longer than some to get things to you, but it's worth the wait!! I highly recommend him!
I thought our photographer was awesome! The pictures turned out beautiful and anticipate the album! Tom was so easy to work with and you hardly knew he and/or his assistant was there. We had so much fun working with him and hope to keep in contact with him!
