We can’t say enough wonderful things about Tom. From our first meeting over Zoom, we knew we’d found someone we’d love to work with on our wedding day. Throughout the planning proc...
ess, he was communicative and helpful. He put us at ease during our engagement shoot, and we loved those photos. We knew we’d love our wedding photos, too, but Tom exceeded our already very high expectations! He takes amazing film and digital photos, and the disposable cameras were an especially fun touch.
Tom and the second photographer, Julie, were both so calm and encouraging and kind on our wedding day. They made my husband and me – and all of our family and friends – feel comfortable all day. Months later, my friends still talk about how much they loved Tom. He remembered all 10 of my bridesmaids’ names. He succeeded at getting our less-than-enthusiastic nephews to smile. He navigated the crowd on the dance floor to take some of the most fun images I’ve ever seen in a wedding album. He captured all the little details that my husband and I spent so much time planning. We wanted photos that took us back to the entire wedding day, and we wanted lots of photos of our loved ones having fun. Tom delivered, and his photos bring us right back to so many special moments we’ll remember happily for the rest of our lives.
We look at the photos, and we feel all the joy we shared with our family and friends, the warm October light on our faces, and the love and elation my husband and I shared that day. We’ll treasure these photos forever.
It was a pleasure getting to work with Tom and getting to know him as a person. Tom captured such raw emotions and so many beautiful moments making it easy to relive one of the bes...
t and most important nights of our lives through his photos. He also seamlessly integrated with our family and friends from the US, the Netherlands, the UK, and Zimbabwe, making everyone feel more comfortable and relaxed. We will never forget his leaps and spins on the dance floor as he snapped pictures while dancing! We can't recommend Tom highly enough!!!
Picking Tom was one of the best choices we made for our wedding day! Getting in touch with him and asking questions was so easy, and when we met for the engagement session, I could...
tell that he had a really strong artistic foundation, since we geeked out talking about photo composition. (This was borne out by the actual engagement photos, which are awesome and beautifully composed.) Then, he was incredibly patient, responsive, and helpful during the planning process. Shoutout to the time I tearfully asked him "am I on track for planning?" and he somehow convinced me that I was!
On the day of the wedding, Tom and his awesome assistant Rachel kept everyone calm, got us through our formal photo list in record time (my aunt said admiringly "I've never seen such an efficient photographer!"), and somehow captured some of the most joyful dance floor photos I've ever seen. Moreover, two of our groomsmen are also wedding photographers and have independently confirmed that Tom and Rachel are superstars.
tl;dr: Artistic vision and professionalism. Posed photos and delightful candids. Wrangling toddlers and charming grandmothers. Get you a photographer who can do both! Tom is that guy!
Tom did a fantastic job of capturing our Wedding Day. He was very kind, attentive, and patient. He has exquisite attention to detail and made sure he utilized every minute he had w...
ith us to get the best shots. He was very respectful, asked questions, sought feedback, and made everyone feel comfortable and at ease. He is very professional in his communication, exceptionally skilled at his craft, and is a genuinely great guy. He even went out of his way to help us hold the reception together when things started to go awry. We would 10/10 recommend him for any of your photography needs. You will not be disappointed.
Tom is an absolute delight!!!! Tom worked with us for our engagement photos, and also wedding day photography and videography. We knew after looking through Tom’s portfolio that he...
was clearly very gifted at photography; but we really knew he would be a great fit after reviewing his website and learning about how inclusive and kind he is. Lots of vendors put the emphasis on “the bride;” but my partner is as equally involved in the planning process as I am- we noticed right away that Tom made it a point to address both of us, and include both of us on all communications and decisions. This seems like a small thing but it felt huge to us.
He has such an easygoing and down to earth energy that removed any extra stress from our wedding day.
We found him to be very organized and an excellent communicator.
My dad was very impressed that Tom brought several back up cameras on our wedding day- he is prepared for everything!
We already have ordered several of Tom’s photos for our house and I know that we will want to continue to work with Tom for all of life’s future milestones :)
Thanks again, Tom!
Tom has an amazing eye and knows how to create any effect you want. He gets to know his clients well and this allows him to create a vibe to make their events special. He is a grea...
t and consistent communicator and never rushed the process.
Tom was wonderful as a photographer for our wedding! We had a great engagement session with him prior as well. He was very communicative and extremely quick to answer any messages ...
and questions we had. Truly, he was the best vendor we had for our wedding! He fit in great with our family and friends, and even helped whenever he saw a need on the day of. The pictures from both our wedding and engagement session are simply gorgeous, and I can’t get over the great personality-encapsulating candid shots he got. He is such a fun, relaxed, and chill person too, which made things all the better for me and my husband since both of us are a little camera shy! We plan to use Tom in the future for any photography needs we may have while we’re living in the area!
Tom was an absolute joy to work with! My husband and I immediately felt comfortable with him, even though we are not people who are generally comfortable in front of a camera. He i...
s so friendly and so good at what he does! We received our photos within a month of our wedding and they are incredible. Tom has a great eye for lighting and color, and he is masterful at capturing authentic moments. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone who asked!
Tom did a fantastic job memorializing our intimate outdoor wedding on November 13, 2021. Bill and I dated in 1979, broke up, and went our separate ways – only to reconnect 42 years...
ago. We married this fall. Tom is a great communicator and fantastic photographer. He is well organized and gave helpful hints on how to make our event even better. In particular he asked for a list of the photos we wanted so that he wouldn’t miss one. He worked magic with our young grandkids. His photos captured the joy, happiness and warmth of the occasion. We highly recommend him without reservation. Tom you made a big day so special! Thank you so much! Diane and Bill
We had an amazing experience with Tom as our wedding photographer! Before the wedding, he was quick to respond to any communication and very intent on making sure he knew what we w...
anted. At the wedding, he was very professional and went above and beyond every step of the way. He was attentive and captured every special moment. The photos are really amazing and he did an excellent job directing us and our families during the posed photos and capturing candid moments without intruding. He got our gallery to us quickly and the photos were beautifully compiled. We cannot recommend Tom enough!
