Absolutely amazing, incredible photos and what a brilliant and lovely guy.

We cannot recommend Tom highly enough. He was absolutely fantastic. So responsive, so chilled, so professional and so talented. Our guests commented on what a great guy he is. His vision as to what makes a great photo is brilliant. Our pre shoot was great fun and made us so relaxed. He’s not at all bossy like some photographers at weddings I’ve been to. He took such great photos. We’re thrilled with the results. They are better than we could have imagined. He’s just brilliant, absolutely brilliant. Vision, delivery of photos and set up of gallery. He even got fab shots of our two frenchies which isn’t easy! Thank you Tom. I hated having my photo taken before meeting you!

Absolutely fantastic

If you are looking for a wedding photographer, then look no further. Tom is a delightful young man whose communication was excellent from the start. He even arranged for us to have a pre-wedding shoot so that we could all get to know each other before the big day. On the day of our wedding, he captured so many moments, and we weren’t even aware he was there most of the time. The huge selection of gorgeous photos that he sent, has given us, and our friends and family, lots of choice for prints and album photographs. He even played the piano whilst our guests were finishing their meal, which was really lovely. Tom is polite, friendly and so professional, and his prices are much more reasonable than most other local wedding photographers. We can’t recommend him highly enough. Thankyou so much Tom.

Just like an additional member of our family…

20 years together, 17 years engaged, but after a couple of life changing events, it was about time to finally get married! We first spoke with Tom in January and he instantly put us at ease. We explained that our special day was going to be very small and intimate, 8 of us in total and that was including Tom…

Tom asked what specific photos we wanted, together with any special details to look out for on the day, for example, I wore my Mum’s pearl necklace, and had 3 lilac flowers in my bouquet. One rose to represent each parent that we have lost, so that we could ‘include’ them in our day.

The day arrived and so did we at the venue, Tom was there, and greeted us with his friendly manner and beaming smile on his face - truly loving the Wedding Day atmosphere as much as we were. He just slotted right in with us, was not intrusive at all, in fact it felt just like an additional member of the family taking some snapshots! Being so few guests, there literally was nowhere for Tom to hide. At no point did we feel uncomfortable, or that any shots were staged - it all just flowed naturally from arrival, through the ceremony, the little walk out to the garden, through the confetti tunnel and not forgetting our walk across the garden from the bluebells under the old oak tree to the garden path, very easily the best wedding day we’ve had!

This day was topped off very quickly (within 3 days) with the ‘sneak peek’ set of such gorgeous photos and ‘slideshow’ accompanied by ‘our song’ that we could ever have wished for, two very emotive pieces of work - then 1 week later, we received our full gallery. The photos were stunning, every little detail that we had asked for and so many more that we did not even think of, but thanks to Tom’s trained eye for those special attention to detail moments, these have been caught in time forevermore - Tom we are so glad, and will continue to be so eternally grateful, that we chose you to be our Photographer of the Day….

The best Cornish photographer..in my opinion

From the very first correspondence to meeting up to discuss wedding photo plans Thomas was absolutely amazing all the way through. Very friendly demeanour about him, made us feel at ease and fully confident with our choice in him.
We wanted the day to be captured candidly, photos without people posing l. Thomas went above and beyond our expectations, the photos were everything we hoped for.and more. He captured our special day beautifully.
I would very happily recommend him to anyone who asks.

Excellent Wedding Photographer

We had a wonderful experience with Thomas Hare Photography. He is very friendly, conscientious and professional. We enjoyed the whole process of working with him and were thrilled with our final photographs which totally captured the spirit of the day. Thomas is very easy to communicate with and he worked very flexibly with our celebrant and venue. Thomas was really on the ball, capturing some lovely spontaneous moments too. He was also timely and organised at every stage of the process. We would highly recommend him.

Truly amazing!

Thomas put us at ease immediately, we’re not used to having our photos taken, but he soon made us forget the camera was even there and we ended up really enjoy the day. Thomas was caring, thoughtful and so good at what he does. The photos that we received truly captured the day, and made us relive it all over again. Can’t thank him enough would recommend him to anyone. We receive the photos in good time after the wedding and the quality was exceptional.

Absolutely fantastic couldn’t praise Tom more.

We met Tom at a wedding fair and instantly found the photographer for our wedding. He was helpful, professional and full of ideas and even danced with us on the evening. The pictures we have received are absolutely fantastic. He has given us extra special memories in the photographs provided. So much more than a wedding photographer.

Absolutely perfect.

From the moment Tom stepped in as our wedding photographer, the experience was nothing short of magical. His dedication to capturing our special moments was evident from the get-go. Not only did we have a delightful pre-wedding shoot, but the entire journey with Tom was seamless and filled with genuine care.

On the day of the wedding, knowing Tom was behind the lens allowed us to be fully present and soak in every precious moment. The photos we received were beyond our expectations—each one a testament to Tom's skill and passion for photography.

We wholeheartedly recommend Tom to anyone seeking a photographer who goes above and beyond. His tireless effort and attention to detail have left us with a collection of photos that we'll treasure forever. Thank you, Tom, for the beautiful memories etched in time through your photographs.

He’s now part of the family!

I don't know where to start with Tom. From first speaking to him, meeting him at the pre-wedding shoot, to having him with us at the wedding to getting our amazing images sent through on Friday (16/08/24) he has been part of the family! You instantly feel relaxed around him (which for two awkward people who really don't know how to pose, it was a welcoming feeling!). He is genuinely interested in your story and asks you about your time together which brings back some amazing memories that by the end of the story you are all laughing at. He came into a chaotic room on the morning of our wedding with make up, clothes and whatever else thrown about and he just fit right in and to be honest, I almost forgot he was there as a photographer because he became part of the wedding party and added to the atmosphere. Everyone has said how friendly and funny he is, and the select few people we have shown the photos to, they've said how amazing the images are and he's managed to capture some amazing moments. Even just of the kids playing. They're all beautiful images and memories that we will have to cherish forever. We honestly cant thank him enough. It's a weird concept that you invite a 'stranger' to such a huge occasion in your life but straight away, within minutes of meeting Tom, that feeling disappears and you genuinely feel like you've known him for years. We will be staying in touch with Tom, following him on his social media platforms and hopefully using him in the future for whatever adventures we have next!
