Testimonials
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.

Tom is hands down the best family photographer I’ve seen or worked with. Tom has a unique ability to see people’s light and beauty, to connect with each person that he works with, and to capture the best parts of them in a way that feels authentic, personal, intimate, and incredibly lovely. I can’t say enough - Book Tom.
