Easy to Work With and Fun

Tom was so easy to work with the entire day! He listened to what the bride and groom wanted, as well as members of the wedding party! We got the photos in a very reasonable time and we love them! Such a great deal for such amazing service! Thank you!

Amazing Photographer!

Tom was absolutely incredible. We booked a wedding package with him and from the very first meeting he was professional, friendly, and easy to work with. We had previously gotten our engagement photos done by another photographer and were so unhappy with the results. We did another set of engagement photos with Tom and LOVED how they turned out. One of our photos even got featured on Narcity! I would wholeheartedly recommend Tom and his team to anyone looking for a photographer/videographer who will make you feel comfortable, capture everything from the details, the candid moments to the laughs and who will deliver outstanding results so quickly. Unlike the "industry standard", you won't be waiting months and months to receive your photos/videos from Tom. I honestly cannot recommend him enough. He does not disappoint!

Excellent! Professional!

Absolutely loved the photos we received! We were able to enjoy the special moments we missed because they were captured by Tomas. We received our photos within the time promised.

Fall Wedding

Tom and his team were amazing additions to our wedding day. They made sure we had all our shots from our list and some we didn't even know we wanted. The whole team is extremely patient, accomadating and fun to work with!

One of a kind

Tom is the epitome of professional. So dedicated to making sure that every detail of your day is documented to your specifications and with his unique flare. He was always around when I needed advice from him and was there to help calm my nerves on my wedding day . 10/10

Did not deliver

Accepted full payment before wedding but did NOT deliver full product after 8 months.
Was friendly and easy to work work with before and during event but went MIA after the wedding.
The photos he did deliver were not what we expected from a professional.

Very disappointing

We hired Tomas for our Wedding in August 2022. It is now December and he still has yet to deliver what we paid for. The contract we signed said we would get the images and video within 60 days. We still have yet to receive the product in full. Tomas refuses to respond to any emails, phone calls or text messages.

Fantastic Photographer in Every Way!

Tom is a fantastic wedding photographer. I have no regrets whatsoever about using him. My family, my husband’s family and the other vendors all commented on how great he was. The specific feedback was that he got great shots without interrupting the flow of the evening, and also just that he was a pleasure to talk to and be around. I felt the same about Tom - I felt like I was spending time with a friend when we were doing our photos as he is just so easy going and friendly. Tom figured out early on that we didn’t want super cheesy wedding photos and gave us the perfect poses/photo opportunities that still gave us cute, romantic memories to look back on. Tom came and grabbed my husband and I during a lull in dinner and took us across the street to the most perfect lit up, treed downtown spot (across the street from the venue) that I hadn’t even noticed. Seems like he’s always on the lookout for a great photo opportunity as we got some of our best photos there. He is reasonably priced, takes fantastic photos and is very fast. He got my photos to me in about 2.5 weeks and apologized that it took so long as he got sick. Hire him!

Meet the team

Tom
Tom
Lead Photographer / Videographer

I have always been into photography and graphic design. In high school I briefly took photography class but because they were still stuck in the film age when we were in the digital age I got bored of it very fast. I kind of messed around with smartphones for a while taking pictures of sunrises. I had the itch to buy a camera but it was never in the budget. Then in the summer of 2015 I accidentally dropped my phone and smashed the screen when I found out that it would be $300 to replace the screen. I had just had a kid and thought that I am getting tired of these blurry, grainy cellphone photos of her... I replaced my phone with a $50 flip phone and bought myself a below enter level camera. I started taking pictures of everything. I had my camera on me all the time, even when I went to work.

Everyone started praising the photos of my daughter and events I was covering. That is when I started looking at other peoples work. I quickly realized that there were some photographers trying to make a quick buck off of people and they really didn't know what they were doing with their camera. I thought if these guys who are in the industry over 5 years are making money from their mediocre shots then why not start a business of my own and start taking on clients? December of 2015 I took on as many free photoshoots as I could to build myself a portfolio to start booking paid shoots. I realized that photographers dont need to be good at actually taking photos if they are good at marketing. My intention was not on becoming mediocre and just working on my marketing, I want to be one of the best there is. Taking wedding photos is no joke. People will look at the photos for decades so if you mess up a wedding you will be talked about negatively for a long time and you could potentially ruin all their memories of the couples day.

People have tried to talk me out of becoming a photographer because the industry is over-saturated. They are right, the industry is full of unskilled and greedy photographers that only care about money and not providing a good service for their clients. I got off to a slow start but I knew that if I kept learning and getting better eventually the clients would come. Fast forward to 2018, the clients have come. We are now booking over 60 weddings a year. I got tired of turning brides down because we are already booked so at the beginning of 2018 I have now trained and hired on 6 more photographers and 2 more videographers to work under our studio. We will keep hiring staff as we go along. My goal is to keep improving and passing the skills down to my staff photographers to be able to provide our couples with the best possible results.
