wait for our wedding photos!

’t thank them enough for their amazing work!

un! Tom made us feel super comfortable. We received our photos just a few days after and WOW! We are obsessed to say the least!! We are SO excited and can’t wait to have Tom be apart of our October wedding this year!

He knew exactly when and where to go for every shot and his video crew followed. Tom also has such great report with the staff at Nanina’s so the day flowed effortlessly. He really knows how to take charge of a room, which was important to us, since we had 250 guests at this wedding. Our color palette was fall themed with accents of orange and burgundy, as our wedding was in November, and Tom picked up on this right away! Our entire album felt cohesive, elegant, and vibrant- it was exactly was I was going for!! Tom was also VERY quick to get us some photo previews to show friends and family. He sent about 80 beautifully edited photos to us only a few days after the wedding! This was great since Thanksgiving and Christmas were around the corner. BOOK HIM. He is a gem to work with and truly, truly knows what he is doing❤️

nd is an amazing photographer. We love our engagement photos and can't wait to work with him on our wedding day! Highly recommend!!

ils! Dan was accepted into the Air Force which meant we needed to bump our engagement photos up. Even with such short notice, Tom managed to work with us and got us a new date with a rain check date! We booked him for both engagement (which turned out AMAZING) and wedding photos. I am SO excited to work with him and his team on our wedding day. I HIGHLY recommend Tom and his team for ANY photos you may need!

Perfect angles, perfect lighting, and made everyone feel so comfortable - not to mention they were just really fun people to be around. We also booked videography with them and cannot wait to get our video back soon. Tom set up our timeline and made everything so easy and stress free on the day of. I will be recommending him and his team to any future brides looking for a great photographer!

ough postponements! He was super flexible and made himself available at all hours to accommodate our busy schedules during the planning process, too. He was a great value and delivered amazing pictures that everyone continues to compliment. He has a great eye for details, captures beautiful portraits, and fun candid shots as well. Tom listened and remembered to take all my "required" photos, and provided more photos than we were promised, too! He has a great team, and we couldn't be happier with how everything went leading up to, during, and post wedding.

t their body I was pretty nervous but throughout the whole shoot he encourages you. I love our photos and can’t wait for our wedding because I know I’ll be blown away all over again.

ation that we needed to know that we made the absolute BEST choice by booking him. If you are looking for a talented, warm-hearted soul who made the process seamless and comfortable, he's your guy! RUN and book him!

om just did our engagement photo shoot at Longwood Gardens last week and the photographs are absolutely gorgeous! He's very down to earth and detail-oriented, which immediately made us feel comfortable during the session. He really captured the heart and spirit of our relationship through these photos. He goes the extra mile to get the shot and you can tell he truly enjoys what he does. I cannot wait for him to photograph our wedding next year!

we choose Tom Russo and are excited for our wedding photos next year! Choose Tom Russo for ALL your photography needs! You will not be disappointed!

the camera, which resulted in beautiful candid shots. We HIGHLY recommend choosing Tom Russo Photography, and can't wait for them to be a part of our wedding! Update! Our wedding was this past October. AMAZING!! It was an absolute pleasure to have Tom Russo and his team as our photography and videography vendors for our wedding day. There truly aren’t enough words to express how grateful we are for their services. From the engagement session to the wedding day, and everything in between, Tom was professional, organized, and personable throughout the entire experience. His work speaks for his talent alone, the images are STUNNING! But his personality puts him in a different category in our opinion. He and his entire team made every moment fun, every smile genuine, and the whole day seamless. We now consider him a friend. We cannot recommend Tom Russo Photography enough to everyone looking for a wedding photographer. Tom, we love you!!

t out phots back in 2 days, which was super quick!!! I would highly recommend TRP for your engagement session and can't wait to see how fabulous our wedding photos turn out!

s a few weeks ago and Tom made the entire experience a breeze. We had never taken professional photos before, so we weren’t sure what to expect. Tom had us laughing and smiling the entire session. Most of all we felt like us. Posing for the pictures didn’t feel forced. We got the photos back and we were blown away. Tom exceeded our expectations. Tom truly is a rare breed. Not only does he take amazing photos, but he treated us like family. We cannot wait to work with him again at our wedding!

taken of us before and all I can say is “Wow!” We were extremely happy with how our engagement photos turned out. Between feeling so comfortable with Tom, knowing how personable he is, and the outcome of our engagement photo shoot, my fiancé and I are beyond excited to utilize TomRussoPhotography for our wedding. UPDATE: Now that my husband and I had our wedding, I have to continue raving about Tom and his Team! Everything went so smoothly with photo and video. I know I was feeling a little nervous in the morning (naturally) and I tell you all my nerves went away when pictures began. Tom and his team made taking photos and video SO much fun. I loved every moment of it. From start to finish, the whole team was amazing to work with. We already got preview photos back and loved every single one! We are so excited to see the rest and especially our video and wedding album! I HIGHLY recommend TomRusso Photography and his team. You will be so glad you chose them :)

ement photos back, that I knew we made the right decision. Not only did they make me emotional, the photos are stunning! I would recommend Tom to any new bride I know. Throughout the session he kept us laughing. For example, he had my fiancé talk to me in a Cookie Monster voice. Which led to natural smiles! I cannot express how excited I am to see the save dates, wedding album, and most importantly how well the wedding photos are going to turn out! I am so thankful to have him be apart of our big day.

of the camera. Don't know how to pose? No worries- he will direct you. I am so so happy we went with Tom to capture our big day! I would recommend him time and time again!

vested in making your experience come out the way you want it to. My S/O and I were a bit nervous to get professional shots, but he really put us at ease and guided us throughout the shoot in such a seamless and pleasant way. I also love that he gets your energy going--I can't stress it enough--he's passionate about exceeding your expectations. Additionally, and this part is critical for anyone vetting photographers-- the turn-around time is sooo quick and the quantity of images you receive is soo good! Other photographers in the field will stall to get you your pictures and when you do it's only a few--not Tom. Hire him!

not just a job for him but mainly a passion. The time he takes to talk to you and get to know you as a couple is really unlike any other. He is invested in each couple he works with to make sure he really captures the love. I could not recommend TRP enough! Thank you SOO much for our amazing engagement photos and we cannot wait to use him for our wedding!

rk with Tom and have him capture our love behind the lens. Tom's energy, from our Zoom call to meeting on location, was so contagious and set the tone for the PERFECT engagement session! He is a HUGE Disney fan, like myself, and recommended the PERFECT location for our photoshop; The Cross Estate Gardens in Bernardsville, NJ. From the moment he said that the location had a "Rapunzel" style castle, I was hooked! We were a little nervous as we never had professional photos taken of us before and I am quite insecure and self-conscience about my appearance. After working with Tom, I think back to those nerves and LAUGH! WE COULD NOT BELIEVE HOW STUNNING THE PHOTOS WERE! There was a lot of snow days leading up to the session and, although it was quite cold to say the least, gave us the absolute PERFECT backdrop! Tom was impeccable at providing us direction that was natural and allowed for our natural love and energy to radiate as bright as the "golden hour" sun that was featured in our photos. He absolutely made my fiancé's day when he asked if there were any more shots/poses we wanted because my fiancé, who is a HUGE Pittsburgh Steelers fan, had a couple of ideas in mind when posing with our custom jerseys and "Mr and Mrs" sign. My fiancé proposed to me with my custom jersey over the holidays, and Tom's excitement about the idea meant so much to us! Three days later, our digital album was sent to us with over 275 images from our session! THREE DAYS FOR DROP-DEAD GORGEOUS PHOTOS?! I still can't believe how fast the turn-around was! When I look at the photos and re-read the blog post Tom wrote about our session, my heart fills up with so much love that I feel "happy tears" welling up in my eyes because all I see is our love and connection for one another. They say "a picture says 1,000 words", and I see thousands when I look at not only our photos, but all of Tom's photos I have seen on social media. Love is such a powerful, evolving, and beautiful gift, and it is such an amazing blessing to have our love preserved for many years to come. Tom, thank you so much, from the bottom of our hearts, for such an incredible beginning to our Happily Ever After!

Honestly, the quality and professionalism put this experience over the top and we are so thankful for him!

n every photo he took we loved!

ng day. Tom knew what we wanted and captured every ounce of it. So many thanks to him for making these photos so special!!

t for our next shoot with him and too see more of his amazing work!

ar that we postponed due to covid and was extremely kind and flexible with our postponement. Tom is amazing to work with, comfortable to be around, and takes the most incredible shots! He captures every perfect moment!

irst video chat, Tom really broke everything down and made sure he knew how to make our vision come true, while taking all of our ideas and helping us figure everything out! We knew we wanted different pictures, nothing "cookie cutter" and there is nadaaa cookie cutter about Tom and how he takes pictures.. Even when we decided to change locations in advance, to make things easier bc of everything going on, he was always accommodating and assuring it was going to be amazing! We cannot wait to work with Tom and his team for our wedding! If you're looking for someone to make this unforgettable time even better, look no further!

and his team are professional, very talented and fun to be around. We are so lucky to have had to postpone our venue wedding to next year because we get a chance to enjoy the day with them all over again. The photos came out absolutely amazing, we are both in love with each and every photo! To say you did an amazing job is really an understatement. Thank you Tom and your whole team. You all are the best! With Much Love, Ali and Milo

dapted to our ever changing wedding plans. From honoring our contract for next year, to shooting an amazing engagement and finally shooting our small ceremony this year, Tom was amazingly accommodating with our changing needs. He always has time for clients and he will make your wedding photographs and a vision. We just got our prints back from our wedding and we are so absolutely thrilled with them. I cannot recommend Tom enough as a wedding photographer.

y to June 2020 due to COVID concerns and Tom was very accommodating in helping us find a new date. We also had to scale down our original wedding for October 2020 to become a micro-wedding and postponed our reception to May 2021. Tom was flexible again in helping us maneuver through these changes. Our engagement session in Point Pleasant Beach, NJ came out beautifully! Tom was great at guiding us in how to pose for photos and the finished product looked amazing. We had Tom back with us for our micro-wedding in October 2020 and he gave us amazing work once again. He was very professional, kept the day flowing efficiently, and made our family and bridal party feel comfortable in front of the camera. We were overjoyed to see the end result, which turned out beautifully! Although Tom was unavailable for our postponed wedding reception in May 2021, he is finding us an equally talented photographer and will still edit our photos for us in his signature style. Thank you Tom for everything and for capturing all the memories of our magical wedding day and engagement session!

all truly incredible. I will always recommend Tom over anyone! He made us feel so comfortable from the start by telling us exactly how things were gonna look to just having such a one of a kind personality! If your reading this review, go with him he will do everything he can and more to make your special day the best one ever!!

gement session this past week and it was so fun! Tom made us feel so comfortable and his attention to detail is impeccable. Between the lighting, poses, and scenery he knew all the right angles. We are beyond happy with how our photos turned it and cannot wait for our wedding day with Tom! I personally feel it is so important to trust and feel comfortable with your photographer and that is exactly how we feel with Tom. Not only are we happy to have Tom as our photographer, but also so blessed to have a new friend in our life! Thank you Tom, you ROCK!

m is HIM! He gives ample direction but also let’s you do your thing to capture those amazing candid moments. He was very accommodating of our venue choices for the engagement shoot and the three outfit changes! He captured the best moments from the day and we cannot wait to see what he creates for the wedding!

ich was super nice! Our session was equally amazing! He was great at prompting us and creating a warm, fun environment for us to take genuine photos. We will definitely be using him again and look forward to booking him for the wedding when the time comes!

recommend him to our friends and family!

husband actually enjoyed the photoshoot! We used Tom for both our engagement photos and our wedding photos. He really listened to what we wanted as a couple, and made sure that we were being true to ourselves. We love laughing at (or with) each other, which definitely showed in our pictures. Our engagement and wedding photos turned out even better than we could've imagined! He has an eye for photography and is able to turn a normal landscape into a masterpiece. I highly recommend him for any event and definitely plan to work with him for future events. Thanks again, Tom!!!

hat he wanted. We had the best time, we would absolutely recommend him to anyone!

und all day, and the pictures came out amazing!! We even had several previews in 2 days!! I would highly, highly recommend Tom for your wedding day, and we will surely be using him for our next life events!

patient, kind, and understanding throughout the entire process. Once we booked Tom, we planned our engagement photography with him. When talking about a location, he had some amazing places in mind, but we really had our hearts set and he was willing to try anything for us! The weather conditions were a little crazy that day, luckily there was no rain or you would have thought there was a hurricane it was so dark and windy. Also, there were a lot of people on the beach that day. With all of those elements in mind, Tom managed to take GORGEOUS photos of us. It has been over a month since we have had them taken and I still look at them every day. I cannot say enough how professional, creative, and talented Tom and his team are. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

oth of us genuinely laughing. Tom has been a great help through the wedding planning process and has been a fantastic support. He is very responsive and personable. You will not be disappointed if you book him as your photographer!

capturing it in a photo. My fiancé and I were nervous about being clumsy or awkward in our photos, and while Tom couldn’t erase that completely he captured us in such a beautiful, authentic way and helped us overcome being a bit camera shy. I have so many good things to say about Tom, but to summarize: he is a talented and passionate photographer, and a kind human being who truly wants to capture your love and laughter in a snapshot.

ing forward to working with him again in the future !!

uple, our biracial heritage, and throw in some humor around having to postpone our wedding because of the pandemic. Tom took the time to really understand everything we wanted to capture and helped us bring it out beautifully during the shoot and in the gorgeous photos. He was also very flexible with us as plans changed and accommodated our concerns and our family’s preferences for COVID-related safety measures. Not only were we comfortable working with Tom, but we also had such a great time during the shoot because of how he got us to pose and interact as a couple in creative and romantic ways. To top it all off, Tom was able to send us our photos in record time not even a week later! We would absolutely love to work with Tom again, and we’d recommend him to anyone considering working with him for their engagement shoot or wedding.

lways so accessible, understanding and patient as we worked through the process and the constant changes including a last minute venue change 5 days before the wedding! He always stuck by us and supported us in every step. Tom's first concern was always about how we were doing and how to make it easy for us while we stressed about the other details. From the moment a mutual friend connected us with Tom, I knew his passion for photography and his vision would translate into the look I wanted to capture in my forever memories. I've now gone through all his amazing photos a hundred times and can't stop smiling. Tom totally grasped the vision I dreamed of and made the wedding look like it was the perfectly planned day from the start. But of course, he and I both know that was never the case. I've shared some of his photos with my bridesmaids, family and friends. Everyone looked so beautiful and he certainly presented them that way. We are all awed and inspired by his talent! Tom and his videography team showed up on time and worked independently through the day like ninjas from one location to the other. I barely even knew they were there. Yet, they captured every single important detail of my wedding day that I didn't even have to ask for from our bouquets, jewelry, cake, toppers, special wine glasses, rings, buffet display, centerpieces, bridal gifts, guests to the usual formalities of our first dance, toasts, bouquet/garter toss, cake cutting, etc. Additionally, Tom also chose to write a blog about our wedding during the pandemic and it was absolutely lovely. He shared the story of how we met, our engagement and then the wedding day with other couples who may be also facing similar challenges of a long distance relationship or planning a future wedding during unpredictable times. This will now be a treasure we will always have as part of our wedding memories forever. We not only will hire Tom again as our go to professional photographer, but he will now also be considered a friend for life! I highly recommend Tom and his team for all your photography and videography needs. They are talented, innovative, creative, fun and compassionate. They will beautifully capture all your special occasions and moments. Don't hesitate or look any further. Just book them now!

ase on changes we needed to make. He was so easy to work with and our pictures, that he shot in 100 degrees, came out AMAZING! He was organized and didn’t play around when it came to family photos. You can tell he loves what he does and has the skills to match. I would definitely recommend him to anyone for their events and we will be using him again in the future.

t was truly something else and I could not hold back my tears with how beautiful our pictures came out. Tom is INCREDIBLE. We cannot wait for him to shoot our wedding!!!

session with him was phenomenal. From our first Skype call, Tom took the time to really understand our story so that it could influence our session. Originally, we were going to take photos back in May at the Botanical Gardens in NYC, but due to COVID, we had to shuffle things around. Tom was extremely accommodating and flexible on the few date changes and location changes we had to make. At the engagement session, Tom made us both feel so comfortable and relaxed, and after seeing the finished product, it really showed. The photos are a perfect reflection of us as a couple and the comfort and fun we feel with each other. There is seriously not a single photo in our entire collection that we don't like. We cannot thank Tom enough for the time and effort he put into a picture perfect engagement session!!

from skype calls, phone calls, and texts, we knew he was someone we would work well with. Tom makes you feel so comfortable and beautiful and is so fun to work with. He really made our vision for our engagement shoot come to life. It was very much the story of our love and the photos came out so amazing! I am so grateful we were able to work with him and I cannot wait to see the magic he makes for our wedding photos.

has NOT been the easiest thing to be a bride-to-be during the COVID times, but no matter what obstacle has come our way, Tom has always assured my fiancé and I that things would turn out perfectly, and after shooting our engagement session, our minds have been blown far beyond what “perfect” could ever be. During our session Tom made it a point to not only incorporate all of our ideas but turn them into a real-life fairytale. Our engagement session was an absolute BLAST until the end and never once did we feel as if we were tired or wanted it to be over. Rather, I felt as if I could shoot for hours more! We absolutely ADORE our engagement photos and cannot WAIT for our wedding!! It has been such a pleasure working with Tom , and I would HIGHLY recommend him to anyone and everyone. You will not be disappointed my friends! - Kate F.

tually had FUN!!!! I never thought that would ever be possible. The pictures were absolutely stunning and I cannot wait to do this again for our next anniversary. I think we found our new tradition ❤️

he found a solution to still take AMAZING pictures. Thank you Tom for all that you did and for capturing our special day!! FIVE STARS ALL THE WAY!!!

ctures were phenomenal the night of when he showed me a sneak peak of a few on the camera and even better after he had edited them! Tom was able to capture so many fun and special moments on the day of our wedding that we will cherish forever and we both had such an amazing time working with him. Tom was also great at communicating with us and always responded immediately when I had questions prior to the wedding and after! I would without hesitation recommend him to photograph any occasion! A beyond wonderful experience working with him and he does beautiful work!

re both beautiful NYC background and silly and intimidate moments between us during the shoot. If you want to work with someone super fun and energetic, creative, and professional, go find Tom!!! We highly recommend:)

know us and make our shoot feel totally unique. You can tell this isn’t just his job and the passion behind his work doesn’t go unnoticed! Thank you so much Tom, we can’t wait for you to photograph our wedding!

large bridal party with a lot of personality and he was able to reel everyone in to get all the pictures we wanted. He was accessible and always answered questions and I would absolutely recommend him to a future bride as groom for their photography needs.

ng short of extraordinary.... and they WERE extraordinary! I can honestly say I trust them and highly highly recommend them. We cannot wait to use them for our wedding. Thank you so much TRP for our incredible photos... they make me cry and smile when I look at them!

h.

ged due to many factors in wedding planning. 5 stars for amazing customer service!! I can only imagine it would definitely be 5 stars for his photography and attention to such detail just by keeping up with my many changes in dates and answering all my questions and giving me some good ideas. Tom we’re so sorry we may not be able to use you but if anything changes!! We will be in touch 😊

d family with the kids. He was also fantastic with the kids. Tom made me feel comfortable as the bride - he ensured that our special day would be captured beginning to end. If you need a wedding photographer, don’t miss out on booking with Tom. You won’t be sorry. We will be using atom again for future photography needs.

and went above and beyond to make sure every moment of my day was captured. 10/10 would recommend!!!

looked at some ideas that I saw that I liked (on Pinterest of course) and not only made them work, but made them original for us! He is just great at his job! I would absolutely recommend Tom Russo Photography for any occasion!

ervice to not give him a look. Thanks again Tom!

a few hours of finishing our shoot. I highly recommend Tom for any photography needs you may have!

and over again. He is the best of the best. We could see he has a passion for what he does. I would definitely recommend his services to anyone looking for a Wedding photographer. You won't be disappointed.
