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 photographer!
We are so pleased we booked Tom for our wedding photographer! He made us feel so at ease on the day and the photos were sent quickly. Tom captured our wedding day perfectly and was really friendly.
We couldn’t have asked for better photos or a better experience! Thank you!

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!!

Book him ! Don’t even consider anyone else !
Wow. Where do I even start ?!
We originally chose Tom based on his portfolio of amazing photos, but after meeting him in person, I instantly knew we had 100% made the right decision. Before even seeing any photos, we knew he was the only person we would have wanted to photograph our wedding. It didn’t feel like he was there to take our wedding photos, we felt like we had an extra friend there on the day. He really made everyone around him feel so at ease and brought out the best in everyone. Tom works so unbelievably hard to make sure he gets the shots that he knows we are going to love. All of our guests have commented on how incredible he was (again before they saw any photos) just based on how fun and hardworking he is. My favourite moment was when he decided to take me and my bridesmaids out of the venue, up the main road to a gate which he had found that he knew would make amazing photos. We had so much fun running up the road, with cars beeping and people waving and the photos from this are just unreal! The following day we didn’t just get the odd few sneak peaks, but an insane amount of photos that captures the whole day which we can’t stop looking at. Thank you so much !!

Wedding photography Excellent!
We recently had the pleasure of hiring Tom as our wedding photographer, and I couldn't be happier with the results. From start to finish, Tom's attentiveness and professionalism were evident. He took the time to understand our vision and was incredibly adaptable throughout the day.
Tom’s ability to capture natural, candid moments truly set him apart. Each photo tells a story and perfectly encapsulates the joy and emotion of the day. His eye for detail and composition meant that even the smallest, seemingly mundane moments were captured beautifully.
If you're looking for a photographer who is not only skilled but also genuinely invested in making your day memorable, Tom is the perfect choice. His work will be cherished for years to come.

Photo Booth service
We used Tom for our photo booth service which he does alongside wedding photography. He was on time and helped the attendant set up and was very friendly.
The only issue was that the back drop we chose was not the one set up on the day and by the time I realised Tom had left and only the attendant was there so nothing could be done. It’s not the end of the world but the one we chose fit our vibe more and would have made the photos fit better with the theme of the wedding.
Other than that, great value and a lovely staff member helping us out at the booth.

Captured our day perfectly 🫶
The moment we had a chat with Tom we knew he was the perfect match for the photography of our wedding. He was friendly, professional and extremely flexible with us. He blended in and was a great laugh throughout the day - making sure everything fell into place nicely for us. Would highly recommend Tom!!

Beautiful photos!!
Tom was so helpful all the way through, answering all of my questions quickly. He is down to earth, easy to get on with and so accommodating. We were both so made up with our wedding photos as they were all edited beautifully and they really captured the day perfectly!! One of my favourites is the confetti shot, it really was perfect! Tom and Jacks style was candid and this really suited us as we arnt very natural in front of the camera so it felt like we could be ourselves and really enjoy being with our friends and family.
Reasonable price and would definitely recommend!

Couldn't recommend more
Tom was absolutely amazing! He was so easy to work with and captured our day perfectly. The photographs are more than we ever imagined they would be. He made everyone feel at ease and got a mix of candid and formal shots. We can't thank him enough for capturing our day the way it was. Forever grateful!

Candid, in the moment and perfect shots!
We absolutely loved our experience with Tom. Getting the right photographer was huge for us as we are picture lovers, and post ceremony that's all that is left from your big day! So we wanted true pictures that reflected the fun, love, joy and reality of our day. Tom did not disappoint. He was so down to earth and blended into our day with ease meaning we could relax and be certain he was capturing all of our day to perfection.
We got the shots back SO quick! And now whilst sitting on our honeymoon we've been able to relive the day together again, and are blown away with the results. Thank you so much Tom, you were perfection!

Captured our day beautifully
Tom captured our wedding day perfectly, every photo reflects the moment beautifully. The photobooth was easy to use and very fun for all guests - guests could take home a copy a we got one too (digital also). We also went with a videographer Tom works with, Lewis, and they were both attentive, professional and very friendly - they made everyone feel at ease and captured both formal and beauitful natural photographs. We will cherish these photos for years to come, we are so glad we picked Tom to be our photographer for our important day. Tom is really amazing, he went above and beyond anything we could have expected! He captured beautiful memories to cherish forever ♡

Absolutely Amazing
Tom and Lewis were absolutely amazing, in the run up to the wedding we were totally aware of what was happening, Tom was lovely and most importantly took all of the stress from arranging the photography, vid & Photobooth. On the day they were fantastic, no stress for us at all, the photos are absolutely amazing and got turned around for us to see. I could not have asked for a better experience.

Fantastic from start to finish
We had our wedding planned for June, plans changed and we got married on the 27th Jan 2024. For us, Tom was a top priority. We liaised with Tom arranging a date that was suitable for us both. He was so easy to work with and did everything he could to make sure he would be there for us. He came less than 48 hours after a long flight from America with his family. We had a meeting with Tom before his trip arranging all the little details of the day. He made us feel incredibly confident we could just relax in his capable hands.
The day came and Tom was described by our guests as a “ninja” photographer, sneaking around to get the best angles. Everyone, including ourselves mentioned what a fantastic job he was doing. We felt sad saying goodbye at the end of the night!
The next day came and we received our sneak peeks. Well, what can I say. Just magnificent. No other words to describe what we have seen so far. Exactly how we wanted, natural looking and CANDID. We are so happy with what we have seen that we are so so excited to see the full album of the day. If you are looking for a relaxed, organised and experienced photographer, Tom is it. We can only thank you for such a fantastic job you have done.

Couldn’t ask for better than Tom!
We got married on 26th November 2023 and Tom was amazing. He arrived at 10am and Stayed until around 11pm! We met Tom at the venue prior to the big day to have a walk around and discuss ideas. Tom planned for all weather scenarios, but luckily that rain held off! Compliments from every guest with how attentive Tom was, he even went round the room and said bye to most of the guests personally. You really couldn’t tell that he wasn’t a part of the family at the end of the night! The photo booth was also the perfect addition. We got 100 sneak peaks the day after the wedding and we can’t wait to get the rest. Honestly can’t believe how amazing the first 100 are and were due more! Thank so much Tom. You captured the memories beautifully. A very talented guy.
