RUN do not walk to higher Billy and his team!!!!
I think your photographer and videographer are the most important vendor of your wedding day. You'll have these pictures and videos forever to remember your special day. I couldn't be happier with Billy and his team. They are patient, kind, professional and just overall know what they're doing! They made us feel so calm and at ease during our engagement shoot and during our wedding.
Honestly, they are worth every single penny!! I can't wait to hire them again!!

We were planning an elopement in NYC in August, and we came across Billy’s work online and knew right away that his artistic vision and style were exactly what we were looking for. Billy was excellent in remotely helping us plan details of our day (as Canadians eloping in NYC we had lots of questions!) His experience and expertise clearly showed through, with helping us plan which locations to go to, timing, and other smaller details that we would not have thought of. He and his team went above and beyond. He is extremely dynamic and skilled, and was able to think creatively and be responsive within the moment, which was exactly what we were looking for. He and his team were professional, thoughtful, and we are BEYOND thrilled with his work. We would recommend him and his team without a doubt.

I cannot recommend William Thomas Photography enough to be your future wedding photography team! Billy and Adam are insanely talented, I am so, so happy with the photos of our wedding. One of my favorite parts of my wedding day was the first look photos we took in a arboretum/garden that my husband and I love, and Billy made the timeline work to fit in all of the spots we wanted to take photos in–he really kept the entire day moving smoothly. He also kept us at ease and positive which I truly appreciated on day with so much going on!
Billy went above and beyond throughout the entire planning process and was the primary wedding vendor I asked advice from - be it recommendations for other vendors or timing considerations, etc.

I would highly recommend William Thomas Photography! Billy began the process with a year before my wedding. He would check in with me frequently and honestly he was responsible for setting up my timeline as i had a day wedding. I had no idea I would have to start so early and he helped steam line that process for me. He was always easily able to get in touch when I needed him. He had a great eye the day of the wedding from start to finish. I got so many compliments from my guests after my wedding about his ability to capture so many moments. I am so happy I hired him! He was a pleasure to work with!

We started planning our special day about 2 years out, and William Thomas Photography was one of the first vendors we confirmed! Every time we spoke on the phone or communicated through the phone, it was an even bigger testament to knowing we chose the right vendor. We did our engagement shoot with Billy, and our special day was perfectly captured thanks to the team. We knew the entire day would be a breeze having them by our side. They talked us through our timeline, made amazing suggestions and helped put us at ease the entire day. We received so many compliments from our guests "the editing style is the best they have ever seen" to "they blended in perfectly as if they were a part of the party themselves, and still were able to capture intimate and candid moments the entire day". We were blown away by the speedy turn around of receiving our albums (a little over a month!) They were professional and helpful and again, we are thrilled to have chosen the best vendor for the job.

The William Thomas photography and videography team truly made our wedding day so special and memorable. We knew Billy and his team took beautiful photos but WOW we are so thrilled with how they captured the day. More importantly, these are the kindest people we had the pleasure of working with. These are the vendors you will spend your entire wedding day with and we are so happy Billy and his team were by our side. They are kind, calm, and caring towards us, our family, and all of our guests. A lot of people can be great at what they do (and trust us, this crew is spectacular) but not many people can make you feel so at ease and special as Billy and the entire William Thomas team. Thank you all for making our day perfect!

If you're indecisive like me researching a million different wedding vendors on your own, hoping to find the balance between quality and cost, I highly recommend William Thomas Photography.
Billy was professional, attentive, a great listener and communicator, and someone my husband and I felt we could get along with as an individual. He patiently helped us shape & organize the timeline of the day. When the day finally came, Billy is the perfect Type A personality to execute it to ensure your day goes smoothly. His service went well beyond photography, from day of planning, to helping steam my dress, and even holding my bouquet throughout the day.
And the photos blew us away. They were artistic and beautifully edited, variable with different lightings and effects, interesting to look at. I loved the way I looked in them! We also received our photos sooner than our contract agreement expectations, and there were so many. It's going to be difficult to choose our favorites.
Photography is expensive, but Billy's pricing was well worth it. His pricing package was NOT limited by time, which is a HUGE plus. The engagement photos and the second photographer were included in the package, which is a deal I didn't find with other photographers I liked. Michael, our second photographer, was also a pleasure to work with. They turned down the vendor meals, freeing up more for our tip. I would recommend them to anyone I know and I thank them for their amazing service!!!

Billy and the Williams Thomas Photography team made our wedding day truly special. From our engagement shoot to finalizing all of the details prior to the wedding for photo and video, the team did a great job. The entire day went off without a hitch and Billy was a pleasure to work with. He is truly passionate about what he does. We could not be happier with our wedding videos and all 3 wedding albums. We will have these memories to cherish forever. Thank you again!

Billy & team (we had Adam) were truly delightful to work with. Leading up to and on the day itself they really contributed to the positive energy.
They went out of their way to learn our families names and help them feel comfortable, which was really meaningful.
Our photos are breathtaking - I have shared a few but note our bridal party was kids and a dog (I have not shared the photo of the children for privacy reasons) but notoriously the most difficult to work with and they made it seem like a walk in the park. We feel really fortunate to have found them and COULD NOT recommend this team anymore. They put an artistic spin into the photographs which helps it feel like art. We can't wait to proudly show of our photos for the rest of our lives.
A heartfelt thank you to Billy & Adam for being part of our day.

Billy and his team were absolutely incredible and we would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for wedding/engagement/event photography. He is timely, very communicative, flexible, and went above and beyond during the entire process. We had a specific aesthetic we wanted to capture, a mix of candid, editorial, and film, and Billy executed it flawlessly. We had a winter wedding, which was held primarily indoors and he was able to make indoor lighting look beautiful. We met billy on our engagement shoot which was great that he offers the session because you get to know each other and get comfortable in front of the camera so you are prepared on your wedding day. Day of, our wedding planner unfortunately came down with an illness, and Billy and his team really rose to the occasion on making sure our timelines were properly executed. Billy is not only talented, but his personality is extremely warm, patient and kind. He is used to working within all different constraints, pivots and managing family/friend dynamics which was very helpful in corralling large groups of people. His team (Mike and Greg) were also amazing to work with and we could not be happier with how our photos turned out. You would be doing yourselves a disservice not to hire Billy, he is the best wedding photographer in the NY area!

If you’re able to you should definitely hire William Thomas Photography for your wedding! No need to scroll through wedding websites for other photographers, you’ve found everything you’ve been looking for. Adam was our lead photographer and he was patient, kind and incredibly talented. Our second photographer for the wedding day, Patrick, was equally wonderful. The photos are truly stunning. We are still in shock. We had an amazing time at our engagement shoot as well. Adam met us at our desired location and took very creative shots that made our shoot really pop. He made us feel comfortable which to me is the one of the most important factors in hiring a photographer. He made it easy for us to express our love for each other in front of the camera. On the wedding day Adam and Patrick arrived early and stayed until the very end of the party. Adam helped make our day of schedule and kept us on time to get every photo we wanted. Since the weather was rainy they brought the drama to the indoor photos which have been making our friends and family gasp. We received our wedding photos faster than expected and their gallery website is really user friendly. We love them and would hire them again instantly for any event in our future.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Billy from William Thomas Photography for my wedding, and I cannot express how grateful and impressed I am with his exceptional services. From start to finish, he went above and beyond to capture the essence of our special day, making it an unforgettable experience for us and our guests.
Right from our initial meetings, it was evident that Billy was not just a professional but someone who truly cared about making our day perfect. His thoughtfulness, attention to detail, and organizational skills ensured that every moment was beautifully documented. What set him apart was his ability to seamlessly become a part of our day, feeling more like family than just a hired vendor.
One of the standout qualities of this photographer was his understanding of our unique wedding vibe. He grasped the essence of our celebration immediately, turning each photo into a testament to the personal touch he brought to his work. Whether we were strolling through Central Park or adventuring downtown on the subway, he embraced the spontaneity of our day, resulting in some of the most memorable shots.
Our family and guests couldn't stop raving about him either. His warm personality and professional approach left a lasting impression on everyone. It's rare to find a photographer who not only captures moments but contributes positively to the overall atmosphere of the event.
And let's talk about the photos - they are nothing short of AMAZING! Billy’s talent and creativity shine through in every shot. He has an incredible knack for framing moments that evoke emotion and tell a story. The composition, lighting, and editing were all spot-on, producing a stunning collection of images that we will cherish for a lifetime.
If you're in the process of planning your special day, do yourself a favor and hire William Thomas Photography. Trust me; it will be one of the best decisions you make. His dedication to perfection, genuine passion for his craft, and the ability to capture the essence of your unique love story will undoubtedly make your wedding day even more perfect. Thank you, Billy turning our special day into a work of art!

Billy from William Thomas Photography is an absolute rockstar! His professionalism and direction were beyond impressive. Wrangling everyone together and guiding us through unique, aesthetically cool poses made the photo session a breeze—no boring poses in sight!
What sets Billy apart is his keen eye for detail. He made sure to capture every moment flawlessly, even navigating around phones to ensure they didn't sneak into the shots. Our evening wedding, with its dark-themed aesthetic, had me concerned about the lighting, but Billy worked his magic. The photos turned out to be a perfect reflection of the evening, capturing the vibe flawlessly.
We are over the moon with how our photos turned out. Billy accommodated every request, making the entire experience truly amazing. If you're on the lookout for a photographer who not only meets but exceeds expectations, William Thomas Photography is the way to go. Cannot recommend him enough – he absolutely did not disappoint!

We cannot say enough about our love for Billy and his team. Truly his work speaks for itself - his photos are ART. Even basic portraits look like oil paintings that belong in a museum. There is not a single photo from my wedding that looks basic or cookie-cutter. Every last picture is a unique work of art that could hold its own blown up over a fireplace. I never imagined I would have wedding photos that look like Vanity Fair covers and I will have the most difficult time even choosing several hundred for an album. But even beyond that, he is absolutely, truly, LOVELY as a human being and professional. He helped us become comfortable in front of the camera and learn how to pose more naturally; we always had tremendous faith in his direction and boy were the results amazing! He had a constant eye for the small details being perfect in every photo. Billy is impossibly patient and respectful even while corralling a large and scattered family that has difficulty staying still for portraits. He approaches the nuances and delicacies of inter-family dynamics with respect and grace. What truly sets Billy apart is his utterly irreproachable demeanor - he may be one of the most genuinely kind, empathic people I have ever met and seems truly to love his job and cherish his role in a client’s special moment.

Adam and the William Thomas photography team did an absolutely phenomenal job with my wedding!! I really could not be happier with how our photos turned out! I was definitely concerned the day of my wedding because it ended up being somewhat wet and drizzling all day, and the majority of our photos were intended to be taken outside so I was worried as to how all the indoor shots would turn out. However, the weather turned out to be a blessing in disguise because the indoor pictures ended up being some of the most dramatic and beautiful I had ever seen! The moody, contrasty style that WT does best turned out to be even more beautiful indoors! The outdoor pictures were still really important to me though, so Adam made sure to give my husband and I about 15 minutes outside during our cocktail hour, and those shots also ended up being some of my favorite pictures ever that I know I will cherish for a lifetime. The team also made sure to go back to my venue on another cloudy, yet less rainy, day to take some drone shots for me which I sincerely appreciated. Not to mention my entire photo gallery came back less than a month after my wedding. The speed of service, attention to customer service, and quality you will experience with WT Photography is truly unmatched!

I can not speak highly enough about William Thomas Photography. Billy did our engagement photos and we absolutely loved how they came out and Billy and Adam were so wonderful on our wedding day. We spoke beforehand to talk over what kind of photos we wanted and Billy gave such helpful feedback and advice on how best to structure the day and make sure we get everything we wanted. The weather ended up being horrible and they pivoted quickly to make sure we still got amazing photos. They were so kind and respectful to everyone In the wedding party and were a delight to have around all day. Highly recommend !!

THE BEST! Billy and his whole team are so sincere and genuine, shooting your wedding isn't just another job for them, they truly are so grateful to be a part of your special day. They love getting to know you as a couple so that they can best capture your love and all things special to you. I feel their photography is so uniquely beautiful which is one of the reasons we booked them for both an engagement shoot and our wedding. Billy was also quick to learn everyone's names and my family loved that, it made it that much more personal. He was always very accommodating to us as well as our family. It was such pleasure to work with Billy and his team. We can't wait to see the final results!

Billy and his team were everything we could've dreamed up! My husband and I never had professional pictures done so when it came time to the engagement shoot, we were nervous. Billy was so welcoming and warm, it made us feel completely natural. After seeing the engagement photos we could not wait for the wedding. The crew were so friendly and sweet and made everyone feel so comfortable. They kept us on track with timing. I have received the wedding photos back and I cannot express how happy we are. They look absolutely magical and fully capture the vibe and aesthetic of our venue and who were are. I haven't even received the videos back yet but I am still leaving the review because I know they will be absolutely amazing without a doubt!

We used Billy, Mike, and Pat for our wedding photos and video for our engagement photos and our wedding photos and videos in NYC in November 2022. The bottom line with Billy and his team is that not only are you getting an incredible team of professionals for the job itself, you are getting a team who will support you every single step of the way ahead of and on your wedding day. From help getting ready on the groom side to emotional support to always having that relaxing, smiling presence, you will not be let down.
We were referred to Billy by a friend, and after the first time chatting we knew he was the choice for us. We connected over NYC, our cats, and our wedding vision. He understood who we are as people and what mattered most to us - the people around us, sharing our special moments, and having a good time.
The best thing on our wedding day was that Billy and his team were always there to capture moments and their creativeness led to a several incredible, jaw dropping end results. Along with always being there, they were NEVER in the way, which is such a testament to their professionalism. We never once said we wish Billy was here to capture something, but we were never in a spot where we were overwhelmed with photos. If there is one thing we were blown away by, it was just that - they were always there, but not once in a bad way. And, of course, they made taking pictures lots of fun!
When we received our photos, the following 2 hours is a time we will never forget. Going through the photos in order, we were transported back to our wedding day on a minute-by-minute timeline. The memories and the laughs were nonstop, and our cheeks hurt by the end. We were able to see things we didn't see on our wedding day, everyone enjoying the party, and the evolution of the day from getting ready to those last minutes on the dance floor. And of course, the pictures, details, and artistic elements were amazing. We CANNOT recommend using Billy and his team enough for your special day!!

He listens to your vision and makes it happen. They also were so helpful during the day of, they coordinated and were a huge part of everything running smoothly.I've always been very picky about wedding photos because it's your opportunity to look back on your most important day, and Billy and his team made all my worries disappear! We can't wait to see Billy and his team again! We can't thank them enough for giving us the most wonderful wedding photos to look back on!

So disappointed. I still look at my photos and am sad about them. Even years later! The photographer represents himself as a very calm and capable person and that is not how it was for my wedding. We were given very minimal directions and many photos are of me leaned over. The best wedding photo I have was taken by a friend. There are photos with people with their hands on their hips, not posed together and that are the only photos I have to remember my day. This photographer misrepresented his capabilities. If I could show the photos on this website , I would. I would never hire him. . He was supposed to be a professional and give me the best he could for that day and I trusted him which was a huge mistake. My advice , hire someone else and do not believe the act he puts on as a cool, calm and collected photographer, he is not.

From the moment we had our initial call with Billy, we knew we wanted to hire him to photograph our wedding! Aside from having so much in common with him in our personal lives, he was so kind and comforting to speak with. His sincerity stood out and made an impression on us, especially when compared to other companies and photographers we spoke with. During our engagement shoot, he was down for anything. We went from our favorite bar in Brooklyn, to a park, and then randomly into a comic book shop. On our wedding, he captured the day in the most beautiful way possible. Every photo taken was a work of art. All of our family and friends loved having Billy and his awesome brother Mike around for the entire day and night. They made everyone laugh and feel at ease. I cannot recommend William Thomas Photography more!

We hired this company to take our engagement photos. William Thomas Photography was everything we could have asked for in a photography company and more. We were concerned about the weather and also had questions about what the best outfits to wear were. Billy answered all of our questions without hesitation and truly help curate our vision. Billy was extremely communicative before, during, and after the photo shoot.
Honestly, I would have loved to just hang out with Billy for a while. He was fun to be around which made the photoshoot fly by quickly.
The pictures we received were beyond any expectations we had. I hands down would recommend William Thomas Photography for your future experience.

Billy & Emily - Thank you, a thousand times. What drew me to William Thomas Photography was the quality and style of the photos and since we weren’t getting a videographer, investing in a solid photographer (but particularly Billy) was easily one of the best wedding decisions we made. Billy essentially helped us schedule and plan for the day, they needed to lead the charge and did it so well. Billy and Emily were so thoughtful, kind and even helped bustle my three layer, 4 and 5-point bustle after my sister and best friend gave up! He helped manage the photo chaos when my cousins couldn’t get it together and then there were the PHOTOS! We had a small restaurant wedding and Billy managed to capture every. single. moment. Things I forgot about and I plainly don’t know how he did it! Our photos are beautiful and magazine-worthy, and we were easily able to relive the day from Billy’s work. I cannot recommend him enough, worth every penny.

Extremely easy to contact and was always prompt and detailed in his responses! He even helped us with our wedding day timeline! One of our favorite vendors to work with.

Incredible photography and equally incredible people! Billy went way above and beyond for us not only on our wedding day but during the whole planning process. We didn't have a day of wedding coordinator, so Billy helped us plan the schedule of the day based on his experience with our venue and our needs, and he kept us on that schedule on the day of our wedding. Him and his brother were so friendly, but also firm enough to coordinate and make sure we were able to get pictures of the entire family on both sides AND tons of awesome candid moments throughout the day. Their photography and editing style make for absolutely stunning photos. We can't thank Billy and his team enough!

If I were to go into a lab to try and create the perfect photographer I would give them all the qualities that Billy has. He is an awesome combination of friendly, knowledgeable, and thorough that completely blew us away and added to a wonderful experience. He’s an expert at getting the perfect natural lighting for photos, offers gentle hints to allow more flattering and unique poses, and has an endless supply of awesome photo ideas. If that wasn’t enough he also has a drone that’s able to take super zoomed out aerial shots that give extraordinary perspective. We were lucky enough for him to be the photographer at our wedding, he got to know us very well as a couple and used every bit of information of us and our family to capture perfect photos. He was such a pleasure to work with and we couldn’t have been happier with the results. 10 out of 10, would be higher, but I respect 100% as the highest rating possible.

The best wedding photographer/videographer team out there! We met Billy in the Spring for our engagement shoot, which was included in our wedding package (so awesome). When we met Billy, we knew that we made the right choice. His energy and ability to read his couples sets him apart from other photographers that I've met. Our engagement shoot was so much fun and we absolutely loved the results.
Our wedding weekend! Billy photographed our church ceremony on Friday and wedding on Saturday. At church, he was able to capture the most beautiful shots while staying out of view so all our friends and family were able to see everything. We were rushed to make it to our rehearsal dinner in NYC traffic however in the short amount of time we had, Billy was able to organize and gather our closest friends and family for photos.
On the wedding day, Billy and his team photographed and video'd us as we were getting ready through the end of the night. Our portrait sessions were organized beautifully. I loved that I saw the team capturing photos of couples and families, as we had discussed. During the cocktail hour, my husband really wanted to enjoy the party and not take photos. Billy was so understanding (from the very beginning) that if we weren't feeling it, we could let him know and take photos later on. We felt so comfortable knowing that he was so understanding.
In the end, the team was incredible to work with and the photos that we have forever and ever are more than I could have asked for! We are grateful for William Thomas + team and I will continue to recommend them to all brides and couples!

Our best and most loved vendor by far! Billy, Maggie and Greg were outstanding and we could not thank them enough for such an amazing day. They worked together as a team to go above and beyond and ensure they captured everything and more. The venue, other vendors, and guests were raving at how awesome Billy the team was. Words cant't describe how grateful we are that we had them on our day. They truly made the day perfect and we would highly recommend to anyone looking for a wedding photographer!

Truly the BEST in the business. I would get married again just to have Billy as my photographer. Billy, Maggie, Mike and Adam were an absolute DREAM to work with, going above and beyond what you would expect of your photography team. Not only is the team so incredibly talented, with an unrivaled eye for photography and a unique style of wedding photography, but they are lovely, wonderful people that you would want to be surrounded by on your wedding day. We postponed our wedding twice and Billy offered to get on the phone with vendors and help us re-plan, and on the day of the wedding, traffic caused us to run late and he was on it and prepared with a game plan before we even arrived. It felt as if Billy was our second maitre d and he made the day seamless. He and his team truly make you feel special and comfortable, and they make it fun! Billy's warm and genuine nature is infectious, and our friends, family, guests, and other vendors raved about working with the team. We can't recommend William Thomas Photography enough!!

I'll throw another 5-star review onto the pile: Billy is an absolute prince. A wonderfully warm, patient, and competent person. Clearly loves his job and genuinely cares about you as a couple. Thorough, but easy to work with. When things inevitably go wrong or off-schedule on the day of, having someone like him at at the helm is so calming and reassuring. He has a gift for getting people (see: relatives) to cooperate without having to raise his voice or bark orders. All of our guests loved him. At the reception, he was never obtrusive or in the way – and yet the second you need him, it's like he materializes out of thin air next to you.
Overall, just a great guy who's very good at what he does. If his photography style is up your alley, I *strongly* recommend you give him a call.

Billy is the absolute best! All the reviews are true! Why are you wasting your time book him now!!!!!! Seriously though he is just the sweetest most patient person. I called him to change the location of our engagement shoot the day of & he totally supportive & up for challenge. We changed the location from Central Park (a classic) to our neighborhood in Queens which Billy has never shot in before. I wasn’t worried because I know how talented Billy is. You can see his focus & dedication while he’s working. My fiancé is one of the more typical “I hate pictures” kind of guy and he had such a great time. We both felt super comfortable & it was a fun time. We can’t wait for Billy to shoot our wedding!!!😊

Billy was the first wedding photographer I spoke to, and from our first phone conversation I knew I wanted to hire him. He is incredibly warm, funny, and genuinely kind. He made my husband and I feel comfortable throughout the entire process, and he was a hit with everyone at our wedding. I just finalized our proofs for our album and prints, and I cannot wait to see them in person. Thank you to Billy and Mike for capturing the most incredible moments throughout our wedding weekend!

Billy and his team are THE BEST. Him and Adam were our photographers ad Greg was our videographer for our 50 person backyard wedding. I fell in love with Billy's work when he did my friend's wedding 4 years ago, so as soon as I got engaged I knew him and his team were for us. His pictures and videos do the talking, but his kindness is what makes William Thomas Photography really stand above the others. Throughout all of the changes we had to make to our wedding, Billy was so supportive and accommodating, by offering help however he could. Come the day of our wedding, him and his team were so kind and so much fun to work with. They made myself, my husband, our parents, bridal party and guests feel incredibly safe and comfortable by taking all COVID precautions and communicating with us so clearly. They also made the day so much fun- I felt like they were part of the family! Billy is the best choice for your wedding day photography and videography needs.

Billy and his team were an absolute dream to work with in the months leading up to, during, and after our wedding last July. Billy was by far the most laid back vendor we worked with during the planning process , which truly made all of our interactions enjoyable. As a photographer his expertise, professionalism and artistic skill was effortlessly captured and curated in our GORGEOUS collection of engagement, wedding photos/albums & wedding video. We couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. THANK YOU Billy & Team!!

I can’t say enough good things about Billy. His passion for photography and capturing everything you want in your wedding day is evident the minute you talk to him. His calm demeanor is also the perfect balance for anyone who might have some wedding anxiety!! He was professional, accommodating and attentive.

Working with Billy and Maggie was one of the highlights of our wedding day, they were so easy to work with and made the day seamless! Billy is such a professional and is always two steps ahead, I didn’t have to worry about anything that day because Billy was already taking care of it. We just got back our photos and are so pleased, each one is more beautiful then the next. Billy and Maggie captured every moment so perfectly. So in love with these pictures, thank you so much Billy!

We are blown away with the art Billy and Mike created that my husband and I can share together forever. We have been looking at these photos everyday to pick the best ones for our album but every single picture we absolutely loved! They made it hard for us to choose with all the amazing shots they captured! We can not wait to see them all printed and in person! We are so happy we chose William Thomas Photography for our big day <3

We found Billy and his company through “The Knot” and immediately knew they were the photographers/videographers for us! From our engagement photos to our wedding pictures, we could not have asked for more beautiful pictures. Billy and his team captured the complete essence of who my husband and I are, as well as our families, and the vibe of our special day on 11/30/19. Through our pictures, we are able to relieve all of the special moments, including the quieter, personal moments that not everyone was privy too.
Billy and his were also incredibly professional. The engagement shoot went over so well that as a bride, I was so comforted by their presence on our special day. They showed up prompt, prepared, and were so HELPFUL. The team’s attention to detail and their suggestions made it seamless for us and our bridal party. We would recommend Billy and his team any day! We can’t thank them enough and are beyond excited to see what our video footage looks like!

Every single person that I know getting married will absolutely get a recommendation of Billy and his team!!! They truly went above and beyond for my wife and I. We got married on 11/7 and I think they helped in making our day absolutely amazing. My wife had spoken with Billy about her anxieties in regards to having a camera on her all day, and he was so understanding and made her feel so comfortable. We could not have asked for better photography/videography. And the pictures we have seen so far are absolutely beautiful and we can’t stop looking at them! You guys are truly the best.
THANK YOU Billy, Mike, and Greg!!!!

When my husband and I first got engaged, I knew that the one vendor I wanted to splurge on was our photographer. William Thomas Photography was highly recommended by various couples and as soon as I laid eyes on his work I knew he was the one for us! Upon my initial contact with Billy, I could tell that we made the right choice, his bubbly but laid back personality is just what we needed to get us excited about the whole wedding planning process! His professionalism is unparalleled and his talent undeniable.
Our adoration for this team; Billy, Mike & Greg (plus their assistant, Adam), knows no bounds nor limits. Billy’s team paid attention to every little detail, making sure they captured every moment of our special day. It is very evident that Billy’s team works hard to fill a much bigger role than just that of a photographer. They handled every situation tenderly and with great care, and made sure we were kept in the loop of all things occurring during our night - even when our venue’s fire alarm went off during our reception. Billy was the first one to rush to my side to alert me of the situation and make sure I was doing okay. My husband and I felt supported throughout the entire day and felt stress free having his team by our side.
Billy has a special gift and truly treats his clients like family. There was never one time we could not depend on him, no matter how many questions, inquiries or requests we had. When we had to postpone our engagement photos, he was patient and understanding and made sure we were made a priority and delivered exactly what we wanted.
My husband and I cannot speak enough high praises for William Thomas Photography and encourage anyone and everyone to book with him - it is a decision you will not regret.

Billy, Mike and Greg worked with us for our 9/29/19 Montauk wedding. There really are not enough words and stars to review Billy and his team. From the moment we saw Billy’s work on instagram we fell in love. He doesn’t just take wedding pictures, he creates ART out of your wedding. From the first email (that was answered within minutes) and our first phone call, we knew we couldn’t have our wedding without him and his radiant personality. We filled him in on our love story, how we met, how we got engaged, why we love Montauk so much, and all about our vision for our day. Fast forward to months later at our 5AM engagement session. He turned two overtired people and my camera shy fiancé into completely comfortable, photogenic people, and it didn’t even feel like a photo shoot. It just felt like we were hanging out for a few hours. When he told us to dance for a photo and could see how awkward we felt, he played our first dance song on his phone which was so awesome. We kept in touch (about Star Wars and our cats mostly, lol) until the wedding, and the wedding day was just perfect. Beforehand Billy was real with us about our timeline - he wanted to make sure we knew that without a first look we wouldn’t be able to do quite as much, but in NO way did he try to push that on us at all. He was just being realistic, but I’ll tell you that even with our tight timeline we ended up with breathtaking, once in a lifetime shots (OVER 2100 OF THEM). He and his team also helped with tasks throughout the day - carrying my bouquet, showing me how to carry my train, etc. and even took a selfie with my mother in law lol. Everyone loved him. He cried with us, laughed with us, sang some favorite songs with us, and bottom line created magic for us. It is evident that Billy and his team love what they do, and we simply could NOT have imaged our day without Billy, Mike and Greg. Thank you times a million!!!!!!
All of our love,
Allie & Sean

Billy and his team from William Thomas Photography did a beautiful job capturing our wedding day. His creativity and artistic spirit came through in our wedding album, there were so many incredible shots that were a result of his expertise. His team was very service-oriented and willing to meet any request we had. The entire team was incredibly kind and thoughtful. Billy even chased away a bee that was following me around on my bouquet. The turnaround time on the wedding photos was as promised (within 30 days). We would highly recommend William Thomas Photography for your wedding day!

Billy,
Where do I begin? Let me start by saying THANK YOU x a million to you and Mike for being the best of the best! On a day that can be chaotic and unpredictable, you went above and beyond, not only as a photographer, but as a friend & someone who knows the wedding business. You kept us organized and on time and made sure to capture all the things that meant the most to us.
We met Billy last year to do our engagement photos (after a phone conversation) and he did not let us down when we met him a few weeks later. He was super friendly, relaxed, approachable and so warm, and made us feel so comfortable. Our engagement picture day was a bit cold so we definitely needed some coaching and pep talks and Billy did JUST that. He was patient with us and helped us get into a groove and our pictures were true perfection. His style is exactly what we wanted and I had a hard time narrowing down which picture to use for our save the dates. Fast forward to our wedding day, and he did it again. Having a 16 person bridal party, 2 kids in the mix, mothers, fathers, step parents, etc and an anxious bride and groom can be a lot to handle. Billy and his brother Mike stuck by our side from morning until the guests had left. They were energetic, funny, encouraging, and super professional. I felt like we were shooting with friends we've known for a decade. I can't wait to see the wedding pictures and if they are anything like our engagement photos, I know we will be over the moon. I would highly recommend Billy (William Thomas Photography) to anyone looking for beautiful photos, a great team, and a fun experience with a team who will ultimately become life long friends. We loved working with you Billy and will definitely work with you again in the future. Thank you for everything! We can't wait to see the final result!!!!

Booking William Thomas Photography for our July 2019 wedding was one of the best decisions my husband and I made! It's difficult to express how wonderful it was working with Billy, as well as how incredibly thankful we are for beautiful photographs he captured. Throughout our wedding planning process, engagement photo session, and wedding day, Billy and his team were nothing short of amazing. They were professional and knowledgeable, as well as fun to work with. The day of our wedding, Billy and Mike brought such positive energy to our homes and wedding venue and made everyone feel so comfortable and relaxed. Our families are still raving about them! For both our engagement session and wedding day photos, Billy was able to capture the exact vision and vibe my husband and I had imagined. He is truly an artist. We will cherish his photographs forever. Highly, highly recommend booking William Thomas Photography!

I had the privilege of booking WIlliam Thomas Photography for my wedding on 8-3-2019 and it was one of the BEST and easiest decisions I made with the wedding planning. I stumbled upon Billy’s work online and was instantly drawn to the way he captured the details of events, intimate connections between people, and moments of undeniable love. After viewing just a few of his collections, I immediately reached out to him. From the start, Billy displayed the utmost levels of professionalism and punctuality, along with an unwavering commitment to his work as he enthusiastically set up an initial meeting. My husband and I met him in a coffee shop in Brooklyn and were blown away by his charismatic nature and how comfortable he made us feel. It was evident that Billy loves what he does and that he pours his whole heart into it. He devoted his time to get to know us - it was clear that he did not solely view us as potential clients but also as friends. It was Billy’s love for love and his masterpieces that caused us to book him on the spot without any hesitation!
We had our engagement shoot in NYC and Billy magically captured the dramatic backdrop of the skyline from the rooftop we were on and made the streets our playground. I never felt so comfortable in front of a camera - his encouragement, direction, and love for photography made the experience an effortless one! It was soon after that we received our pictures and were COMPLETELY blown away by his work. We still to this day have friends and family complimenting his work!
Leading up to the wedding, Billy was so attentive and courteous whenever we reached out. He provided us with a clear schedule for the wedding day and made sure to cover every detail. From the moment that he entered my house in the morning, my family and all of my bridesmaids were drawn to him. Billy just has this way about him that is absolutely captivating and he makes everyone feel like a friend! His brother Mike was our videographer and the two of them were such a power team! We also had another amazing photographer, Chad who was with the men at the church beforehand and his punctuality and positivity made everything go seamlessly. My husband and I had a big bridal party and Billy and his team were able to provide clear directions and kept everything on the expected time schedule. Every single member of our bridal party came up to us saying how much they enjoyed working with Billy and described him as an all-star, the man, amazing, and every other positive word you could think of!
Having been a guest at many weddings leading up to ours, I have become frustrated with the way that other photography companies aggressively jump in front of people, march down the aisle, and ultimately take the attention away from the magical moments but this was NOT the case with Billy. He effortlessly captured moments without being distracting and was like a warrior ninja with his camera - he was everywhere but at the same time blended in in such a respectful way. I truly cannot say enough positive remarks about Billy - he has an intense love for what he does, an undenying dedication to his work and clients, and a captivating warm and welcoming demeanor. Please, look no further… you have found YOUR GUY! With Billy, not only will you have the BEST photographer at your wedding but you will also have someone who you can consider a friend. His work speaks for itself and the magic will shine through in every moment he captures!

I always believed the most important wedding vendor is your photographer. I still believe that to be true. Billy, thank you so much for all the magnificent work. I absolutely love how he can incorporate so much of nature into the photographs. I appreciate most how he was able to capture the absolute best moments. Our personalities just shined in the images. I honestly have the best images from that day, they get better and better as the night goes on. He is calm and relaxed and just the absolute easiest person to work with.

Billy,
To start off, we want to say another thank you to you and your team. We had such an amazing time and we hope you, Michael, and Greg had a great time too!
The three of you made the day so easy for the two of us and our families. You brought a positive and cheerful vibe to the day that kept us all going! You were so helpful and kind to everyone, and at the same time, you were able to firmly direct the crowd for all of our photos. You executed precisely and helped make sure the day ran on time. We haven’t seen the photos yet, but we know that they will be great! Honestly, your energy alone made the day so special, and we wanted to let you know! Please share this feedback with your entire team as you were all so amazing.
Thank you so much for all your hard work!

Billy (William Thomas Photography) is the greatest photographer we have ever met! We trust him 100%. We didn't need to explain to him what we wanted composed, because he knows his business very well. He can see all the necessary things that will be reresented on your pictures - the venue, the weather, the sky, the nature ; he knows how to make everything look beautiful. The day of our wedding was the busiest day ever, and our pictures help us to remember some of the magical and romantic moments of this day, which glowed in the sunlight and shimmered in the sunset , and to also help us to keep all of these special moments forever. It was so comfortable and pleasant to work with you, Billy! Each picture of our wedding is a masterpiece! You could find approach to each guest at our wedding, and make them look beautiful on our pictures! Even my grumpy little dog who dosen't love to be photographed.=)))Thank you for the amazing pictures that you made for us! You are a photo artist who was able to reproduce the atmosphere of the place and the event in small and magical details. We love your photography style sooo much, the way you see the world around you , how you make the environment around people so unique and atmospheric. You are a great person, smart and talanted, with big kind heart, and we wish you all the best in your professional and private life! Looking forward to have another photoshoot with you!

We absolutely loved our engagement pictures and our wedding photos were out of this world. My husband and I searched for the perfect photographer for 6 months and we found him! Billy is THE best out there.

This is a LONG overdue review, but I had my engagement photo shoot with Billy over the summer, and my fiancé and I had so much for with him. The photos came out gorgeous and exactly what I wanted them to look like! Billy’s photos have a certain uniqueness and artistry to them that you will not find anywhere else. I absolutely cannot wait to work with him for our June 2019 wedding!!!

I hired Billy and Mike from William Thomas Photography for my wedding day (11/16/2018) and I am so glad I did. On the actual wedding day itself, both Billy and Mike were amazing to work with. I honestly can't say enough about this duo.
I think what was most important to me was that they let myself and my partner have our moments. Though they were so helpful and provided support and guidance throughout the day, I never felt that they were "in the ceremony" with us. During our first look prior to the ceremony, they stood close by with their cameras as my partner and I laughed and cried as we saw each other for the first time that day. When we got our pictures back and I went through the ceremony shots I thought "How did they get that shot, I don't even remember seeing them there!" They captured every single moment of the day, and somehow still let us enjoy our moments without feeling intruded upon.
During the day, Mike and Billy kept us on time and organized without being overly pushy. They gave us great direction and created some really beautiful shots (both posed and candid). Our portrait shots, our ceremony shots, and our reception shots all came out beautiful. They captured some photos of friends and family I had specifically requested and included a bunch more beautiful shots I hadn't even know I wanted. Our photos are stunning and I know my partner and I w
