Amazing photos, fab service
From the first call, I knew Tom was the right photographer for us. He listened to what I wanted, gave great ideas, made me feel that I would get the memories perfectly captured. On the day he made everyone feel at ease, captured all the little details that I spent so much time prepping. He managed our time so I didn’t have to think about missing any shots. The Champagne spray (all Toms planning) is one of my favs photos and also a great memory from the day. My husband and I are a bit quirky and our personalities really come across in the photos. Can not thank Tom enough for a perfect service and photos. 100% recommendFrom the first call, I knew Tom was the right photographer for us.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! It was an absolute pleasure to be part of your wedding day, and I’m thrilled that you felt at ease and that your personalities shine through in your photos. Capturing those little details you worked so hard on and planning. The Champagne spray was pretty epic! and was a highlight for me too. I’m so glad they became some of your favourite memories. Thank you again for choosing me to be your photographer and for your kind words — they genuinely mean the world. Wishing you both a lifetime of happiness! -

Fantastic!!
Tom recently photographed our wedding at the end of April - what can I say! He was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. Tom was friendly and professional, and so proactive in finding good scenery for our shots. He was very helpful in organising everyone and went above and beyond by doing things like asking our guests to sign our guestbook. The Polaroids were also an unexpected but wonderful surprise! 100% recommend to anyone and we are very much looking forward to seeing the photos! Thanks so much again.Tom recently photographed our wedding at the end of April - what can I say! He was absolutely fantastic from start to finish.

Thank you so much Danielle and Michael — it honestly means the world to read such kind words. Your day was an absolute joy to be part of, and I’m so glad I could help things run smoothly and capture it all along the way. I loved seeing how much fun everyone had (and those Polaroids definitely added a little extra magic!). Thank you again for having me — it was a real pleasure and I’m thrilled you’re so happy with everything. -

Chicheley Hall
Tom provided an excellent professional service and we felt comfortable leaving him to be creative with our venue. He had been to our venue in the past so he knew all the nice spots to go for some lovely photos.
We got our photos back super quick and our video took 4 weeks which we wasn’t expecting such an amazing turnaround.
He also gave us some sneak peak Polaroid photos which is such a nice touch.
We got so many compliments from our guest on how nice Tom was and how he was so good at his job. Half the time you didn’t know he was there but he was still taking pictures and videoing.
We would definitely recommend Tom. No complaints from us. So Thankyou so much Tom you really captured our day perfectly

Thank you so much for your lovely words – it honestly means the world. It was a real pleasure being part of your day and I’m so glad you felt comfortable to let me get creative with the venue. Knowing the space definitely helped, and I always love finding those perfect little spots that show it off beautifully.
I’m really chuffed you liked the surprise Polaroids too – I think there’s something really special about having something tangible to hold onto straight away.
Hearing that your guests had such nice things to say is just the icing on the cake. My aim is always to blend into the background and capture the day as naturally as possible, so I’m glad it felt that way to you.
Thanks again for having me – and for such a thoughtful review. It truly was a joy to capture your day.
All the best,
Tom x -

So much more than a photographer!
We found Tom through Bridebook as he'd previously shot at our venue, however we were initially a bit reluctant to part with so much money. We "met" with Tom via video call and were immediately reassured that a) he wasn't a sociopath and b) he clearly knew what he was talking about. Tom talked knowledgeably and asked insightful questions to get to know us and what we were after in a wedding photographer. He kept in good contact in the lead up to the wedding with some very helpful hints and tips about props and posing.
On the big day Tom arrived nice and early to scope out the venue and lighting. He talked us through everything we needed to know (not just photography related but also wedding things we ought to have known such as which order the engagement ring and wedding band go on, how to cut the cake elegantly, where to place our hands during first dance, etc). He was very discreet and we didn't notice him taking a lot of the more candid photos but he really did capture some beautiful moments. We were thrilled with his work on the day and absolutely floored by how quickly he got our digital images across to us! We can't recommend him enough and would use him again and again (although we hopefully won't need to!).

Highly recommended!
From the moment that I made contact with Tom, I was impressed by his professionalism. We booked due to the reviews on Hitched and Google and we weren’t disappointed! Tom & Ella were both extremely friendly & captured some wonderful memories of the day without being intrusive. The photos were with us really quickly and are absolutely beautiful. We’re so happy and couldn’t recommend them enough - thank you!From the moment that I made contact with Tom, I was impressed by his professionalism.

Superstar!
I can't even explain what a superstar Tom is. It was like having my own assistant for the day. Out of sight enough to not be intrusive but there making sure I had a drink and even to speak to someone about the heating for me. Broke up the couple photos throughout the day so it wasn't one long stint. Commanded 90 people in an authoritative yet friendly and fun way. Directing poses in an encouraging way so no one felt silly. Whole booking service seemless and very responsive with any questions. Would 100% recommend!I can't even explain what a superstar Tom is.

Amazing wedding videography
We couldn’t recommend Tom enough! We really felt comfortable and at ease which was really important for us, and most of the time we didn’t even know he was there, it was very discreet and natural!
We received our videos back really quickly and we absolutely love them, he captured our day perfectly and we are so happy we can re-live the day over and over!We couldn’t recommend Tom enough!

The Most Incredible Photographer
We had the pleasure of having Tom come and see capture our wedding day on 11/06/2024. Our photos came back quickly and they were absolutely incredible, even more so that we ever imagined. Tom was very professional yet extremely welcoming and friendly. All our guests have commented how nice he was and how a lot of the time they didn’t know he was there (in a very good way) we felt very relaxed when taking our posed photos and felt at ease with Tom when we had our couple shots.

Wonderful day with a great photographer
Tom was the photographer at our wedding in May 2024. From the beginning of the day and throughout he was relaxed and helpful, and even when the inevitable wedding day dramas happened, he provided a calming presence. A lot of the time I didn't particularly know where he was, he seemed to blend seamlessly in with our guests, which resulted in some amazing pictures. It felt like there was so much I missed on the day, and having the photos to look back on has been wonderful. We are not a couple that enjoys too many posed pictures, but Tom made it easy and enjoyable, and got a great balance between the posed pictures and the candid shots. The turn around for the final images was impressively quick. I would definitely recommend Tom to anyone needing a photographer. Thank you again Tom, we're so pleased we could have you there with us!Tom was the photographer at our wedding in May 2024.
