Testimonials
Tom made all the difference at my wedding. Not only is he an impressive talent but he is the perfect balance of everywhere you need him and invisible. He goes above and beyond every minute you work with him. Have you ever see a phototheraper running to get shots (in 104 degrees?) - Tom did this and so much more. He is a rare talent, insanely hard working, pleasure to be around and I consider myself lucky to work with him.

Tom was the photographer for our wedding. He totally put everyone at ease and made me feel beautiful as the bride. My husband is super shy but felt really comfortable with Tom. I couldn’t be happier with how everything went!
Haley & SAM

We wanted someone who could capture the landscape as much as the people [of our wedding], and Tom exceeded our expectations. He wasn’t someone who just showed up the day of our wedding. He was with us through the entire process; checking in to see how we were feeling, setting meetings as the big day got closer, and truly caring about our happiness with his work.

WHY I'M A WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER
I deeply believe in the power of love. I know that sounds cliche, but let me explain: I lost my sister in a car accident when I was just 11 years old. My parents divorced shortly before that. Experiencing such profound loss early on taught me to cherish the moments of connection and joy that life offers. This is why I am drawn to weddings—each one is a celebration of love and unity that resonates deeply with me. Through my lens, I strive to capture the genuine expressions of love and the unique bonds that each couple shares. It's more than just preserving memories; it's about highlighting the beauty of relationships that endure through all of life's challenges.
