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.
