Just amazing!

Tommy’s work is simply outstanding! He is very artistic with his pictures and takes time to find the right angles to get you the best possible shots. We had a very aggressive timeline with our wedding events but he was very patient and committed to our timelines and ensured that the events were covered properly. Tommy is extremely professional and provided us with plenty of advice and guidelines prior to the events so we can take advantage of environments and lighting conditions we were working with. You can tell he is passionate about his work. Couldn’t have asked for a better photographer to cover my wedding. 10/10 would recommend to anyone! Thanks Tommy!

Tommy was such a pleasure to work with. He was professional and helpful at all times, answered all of our questions and took such beautiful photos of our special day. He captured every moment on film, incorporating both both traditional posed shots as well as natural spontaneous ones. He offered us getting ready shots in addition to our ceremony and reception which turned out fantastic. All of our guests loved him, He made everyone feel comfortable and with his great sense of humour eased any stress we were feeling that day. Tommy is also a perfectionist and ensures that the he takes the best photos wherever the location. We highly recommend him and would hire him again!

As an actor I have used Tommy Ray numerous times for my professional headshots and found the sessions have created results both intimate and spontaneous. Tommy has a talent for capturing shots that are particularly magical and evocative and he has become my go to guy for photo sessions. I highly recommend him for any photography work as he's bound to bring a fresh perspective, unlike anyone else.

Tom was able to travel to my venue , and take wonderful photos of my art , he took time to evaluate the lighting and was thoroughly professional . The result was certainly everything that I wished it could be , with the images conveying the luminosity of my work !
When Tom came back to shoot the reception , he worked the room better than I did. I was too busy greeting and talking to guests , and fussing with the lunch table . Tom produced photos , both candid and otherwise , of my guests and myself, some animated , others pensive .
He most inherently feels the moment ; mingles and captures the mood .
I would not hesitate having Tom back to photograph my next event .
Sincerely ,
Randall Brandford ( artist )

Tom was very creative to work with and I plan to do another shoot with him soon-
He worked with me on a cd cover and it Always gets great compliments on originality and quality of photos.

We did the shoots at 2 unique locations in Toronto, namely, the Distillery District and a loft which proved to be very comfortable to express an artistic attitude.

Thank you Tom!

Tom was a pleasure to have at my wife's and my wedding. He needed very little direction, and often did not even notice his presence. We gave him a few areas with which we had in mind to do shots, and he was able to set up, scope out the area, assess lighting etc... and had a great idea of how to capture the setting. His attention to detail, as well as flexibility to capture candid moments were impressive. I highly recommend him for your wedding needs.

Tom did a great job photographing our event and retouching the shots. He was creative, professional and worked with us to find a happy midpoint between our budget and what we wanted done. I'd recommend him to anyone.

Owner/Lead Shooter

Hi guys, I have an entensive background in the arts. I did an English B.A. at UofT, took art classes and then did a digital media certificate. I studied and became a wedding magazine designer while shooting film and then digital. I'm inspired by the photojournalists, and fashion and artistic photographers and do my own creative sessions as well. I'm always improving my game and learning from Ghionis, Yervant, Kelby, SLR Lounge, and Creative Live memberships.

I miss by studios but am now an on-location expert and specialist and shoot every week for a living. This is now a full-on, boutique business that covers artistry, service and image backup with a complete line of products, custom frames and hand-made archival albums.
