Last update: November 2024

Hey! Im Tom, an award winning wedding photographer based in Cheshire but regularly working all over the UK. My style of photography isn’t scripted or staged, it’s just pictures of things happening at a wedding – it’s you, as you are, who you are, what you feel. I don’t do cheesy poses or fake smiles. I’m all about authentic emotion, the stolen kisses, the belly laughs, the tears of joy, the kids being kids and everything in between! To put it simply, I do real moments, captured beautifully.

My approach on a wedding day is relaxed and informal as I want you to feel comfortable with my presence, as if I was just another guest. Even if you are camera shy, you can have stylish, natural wedding photographs that illustrate what a brilliant time you had.

Felt like a wedding guest & friend at our wedding!

Tom was absolutely fabulous. From initially speaking to him through Instagram, to video calls, meeting in person for the first time and then finally the big day. Tom is very professional and completely throws himself into your vision. He was quick to respond to any requests and set up a WhatsApp group to help the communication. You can really tell he has alot of experience and talent.
On the day he had a clear schedule of how he was going to capture the day and most of the time we forgot he was there. Lots of our guests thought he was a friend at the wedding.
We received a few sneak peeks the day after the wedding which really showed how much he cared about us and knew how much that would mean to us. I would have been happy with those few photos they were so perfect! In fact we received many many more.
The price was very reasonable especially for Cheshire and we decided to add on his photo booth last minute which was a big hit and something that made our evening.
Tom was also great with camera shy people (including my husband) and also kids! He really brings your day alive!
Would definitely love to work with Tom again! Sophie & Oliver

Amazing! Thank you, Tom!

We couldn’t have asked for a better wedding photographer! Tom was amazing - he made us feel completely comfortable and truly special throughout the day. Communication was effortless, and he went above and beyond to capture everything we wanted. The photos were delivered quickly and turned out exactly as we had hoped - absolutely perfect!

We can not thank Tom enough!

We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer on our wedding day! From start to finish, he was absolutely fantastic and so friendly, it truly felt like we had known him for years. He blended seamlessly into our day, not just as our photographer but as a guest who genuinely cared about making our wedding perfect.

What makes him even more amazing is how he went above and beyond to help us after we were let down by a previous photobooth vendor. He stepped in and saved the day! We also had the video package and the teaser we have had so far is truly amazing.

His talent, attention to detail, and friendliness made our day even more special, and we’ll treasure the stunning photos forever. If you’re looking for someone who will go the extra mile and make you feel completely at ease, he’s the one. Highly recommend!!!

Full Day & Video- Chloe & Sam 29.09.24

We booked Tom for our September 2024 wedding at Merrydale Manor & we are sooo glad we did! Initially, we booked the full day photo package but last minute we upgrade to the full day & video and Tom was verry accommodating with this and booked us in straight away! Prior to the wedding day we had a couple of video calls with Tom, he ran us through how the day was going to go and also answered any questions we had.
On our special day, Tom was very professional from start to finish, he knew the venue very well and made sure everything ran smoothly. He made all the bridal party feel very at ease whilst capturing natural moments between myself and the girls whilst getting ready. He knew how to get the attention of our little nephew and niece which has created gorgeous photos!
Tom felt like a guest at our wedding as he was very easy to get along with and family & friends commented on how laid back and professional he was!
We had some strong winds on our wedding day, meaning my veil and hair was flying everywhere! At one point I was worried about how the photos was going to turn out, however, Tom assured us he was capturing amazing photos and even gave us a sneak peak on the camera which defiantly reassured me!
We received a sneak peak of our photos the day after our wedding whilst on the way to our Honeymooon which was really nice as we got to relive the day all over again and share them with family & friends!
Tom did shots of us with parents, siblings & grandparents, which are amazing, we just love how many memories Tom has created for us!
We also love that Tom captured lots of natural photos of our guests during the day & night as it allowed to see what a great time everyone was having!
The videographer Tom collaborated with was also amazing, he worked alongside Tom all day capturing our wedding video. We have just received our highlights video and WOW, we absolutely love it & cant wait to see the full video!
We would 100% recommend Tom to any couple that is getting married, we couldn't of asked for a better experience an you wont regret booking him!
We had a great laugh with Tom and Brad the videographer throughout the day and have no regrets about the package we booked!
A massive thank you Tom, you was the perfect photographer on our special day!

Best day ever 🩷💍

Tom was amazing! Literally ran the whole day for us - and even helped take my little girl to her dad so she could have a nap before the ceremony!
The sneak peaks came through super quick and there were loads!!! Also all the photos came through really quick and we absolutely love them - and so do all our family & friends ❤️
We also got the Photo Booth which every one loved and the pictures from that were awesome! And we love having them all in the guestbook!
On the whole - absolutely wouldn’t have changed a thing.
Thank you so much Tom! 👏🏻

McFall Wedding

From our first communication with Tom we knew he was the Photographer for us. Tom was laid back, professional and beyond helpful. We had the most relaxed wedding morning and this was because of Tom! He liaised with all our vendors and Merrydale to ensure everything ran smoothly and even helped our Bridal Party with their flower button holes.
The photos we received are beyond incredible and captured the most beautiful moments of the day! Tom honestly felt like a guest and a friend to the family! There are just no words to thank you enough. Love the McFalls x x

Kent and Victoria 27/08/2024

We cannot recommend Tom enough!
Being a couple who are very camera shy we knew we needed a photographer who would both make us feel comfortable and catch our day in the most natural way. From the very beginning of the process Tom really took the time to get to know us as a couple and what we wanted from our day meaning that we could just relax and focus on enjoying every moment knowing that Tom had this covered. One of the things that really helped us was the option to have a pre shoot before the day as this allowed us to get to know Toms style and helped to make us less anxious in front of the camera before the wedding day. One of my biggest fears as a bride was a rainy wedding day and despite the rain on the day Tom ensured we still captured every shot we dreamed of and more. Checking the forecasts throughout the day for drier spells or arranging for certain shots to be taken in sheltered places ensured every single photo turned out perfect. Even to the point where you couldn’t tell we’d had bad weather on our day. We had so many compliments from our guests about how professional Tom was and how seamlessly he fit into the background capturing all of our key moments. Our guests absolutely loved the Photobooth which had us all entertained in the evening and is the perfect option for a photo guestbook as two copies are printed each time. It’s been so fun looking back at the messages and photos people took and left us throughout the night with our guests returning multiple times.
We were shocked with how quick we received our sneak peaks, especially since Tom was with us all day. Receiving them the day after whilst on the way to our honeymoon was amazing for us to look back on and relive the best moments of the day. We were equally as shocked to receive the full gallery only a week after the wedding especially since we got married in the peak of wedding season.
Thank you again Tom, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience and it’s going to be impossible to only select 50 photos for an album!

Jo and Chris 28.9.24

Honestly we were blown away by the way Tom captured our wedding. He is truly talented and knows his art.
Tom just fits right in, a lot of the time we barely noticed he was there, but equally for the shots we really wanted he helped us to create them beautifully.
Tom is really easy going and helps you to relax, his communication from booking right the way through to post wedding has been fantastic. We could not recommend him more! Thank you for creating our perfect memories. Jo and Chris

Tom is the best of the best!

I couldn’t recommend Tom enough, he is absolutely brilliant! He was absolutely brilliant, from our first zoom consultation all the way through to the final photos! His photos are natural and there’s no pressure to do or have any certain types of photos. All our family and friends loved how he just slotted right in as if he was a guess!
We unfortunately had rain on our wedding day but this didn’t stop us getting our outside shots! Tom went above and beyond watching out of the gaps in the rain so we could get outside!
We couldn’t be more pleased with our the photos turned out! Thank you again! Rosie and Mark

Helping us relive our amazing day!

Tom was truly incredible from start to finish!

Not only did he make us feel completely comfortable on our big day, but he also took the time beforehand to do check-in calls to understand exactly what we were after. He even requested a list of specific photos we wanted, like ones with our parents, siblings, and special moments throughout the day. This level of attention to detail made us feel so reassured that we were in good hands.

On the day, Tom was so charismatic and easy to get along with, and he was especially fantastic with my husband, who usually doesn’t enjoy having his picture taken. Tom gave great, polite direction while making everything feel natural, and the result is a stunning collection of photos that look so candid and authentic, which is exactly what we wanted—nothing felt staged or awkward at all!

The sneak peek photos, which we received the day after the wedding, are just amazing! We are absolutely obsessed with them and can’t stop looking through them. Our friends and family have all been raving about how incredible they are. Tom has perfectly captured the essence of our special day, helping us relive each moment. We cannot wait to receive the full gallery!

Thank you so much, Tom, for everything—you’ve helped create memories we’ll treasure forever. We honestly are blown away!!!

The Best Investment

Having Tom as our wedding photographer quickly became one of our favourite things about the day!

Weddings can be really expensive and looking back over all the planning it is easy to pick things that you could have left out and still enjoyed the day just as much. Without a doubt, Tom was one of the best things we invested in for our wedding!

We really couldn’t fault him - from the pre wedding zoom calls and group chat, to the post wedding sneak peaks, everything was so quick, professional and seamless. We had a second shooter and a videographer all arranged through Tom - and for what we got back it was so reasonably priced.

It felt like we were hardly away from our guests for any time at all but still he was able to capture such amazing shots and moments!
In fact, we almost forgot he was there to take pictures as by the end of the night it honestly felt he was more of a guest/friend. The amount of guests who commented on him just showed how talented he is.

Tom has created the most incredible memories for us and we really can’t thank him enough.
Being able to bring the day back to life together, through all of his amazing pictures is just so special - he captured our day perfectly and we are so grateful!

The best photographer!!

We had the pleasure of having Tom as our photographer for our wedding in July. Having not been from the area we were married in and searching Hitched for suppliers, we came across Tom and I was instantly drawn to his candid style of photography as the thought of posing all day filled me with dread.
He was incredibly professional but at the same time felt more like a friend at our wedding and blended in beautifully to the background - I can’t count how many people have commented on his photography since our wedding day. We received sneak peaks of our photos the day after we got married and had the complete album within two weeks.
If we were to go back & do it all again we would book him a thousand times over!!
