Couples can enjoy time with their guests, with photographs organised around the celebrations. From morning preparations to the dance floor, the aim is a gallery that brings back how the day felt.

Photography, videography and extras
Videography can be booked alongside photography, with a retro oak photobooth and an audio guestbook also available. Couples can choose the services that suit their plans, with clear details of what each option includes.

Tom's the bomb!
We couldn’t be happier with our experience working with Tom as our wedding photographer. From the very beginning, he was excellent with communication, always prompt, professional, and genuinely enthusiastic about capturing our day.
Leading up to the wedding, Tom kept in touch regularly, making sure every detail was covered and that we felt completely at ease. On the big day, he struck the perfect balance between giving us direction and letting moments unfold naturally. He made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera, which really came through in the photos.
The pictures are absolutely stunning. Both the posed shots and especially the candid ones, which captured the little moments so beautifully. We feel so lucky to have these gorgeous memories to look back on.
We can't recommend Tom enough!

Amazing photographer
We booked Tom and he was fab from the get go, communication was amazing and he did everything he could to make sure that we were comfortable on the day. If anyone knows me I hate having my photo taken but Tom made it so easy and I love how my photos came out. Would definitely recommend Tom if you’re wanting someone professional but also puts you at ease as well as efficient!

Tom Groves Photography - the best!
We honestly couldn’t recommend Tom Groves Photography enough! ❤️
Tom photographed our wedding on 26th June and provided full-day coverage, capturing everything from the big moments to all the little details and special memories in between.
Looking back at our photos, we’re so grateful to have such beautiful memories of a day that went by far too quickly. Tom captured the emotions, the laughter, the candid moments and all the little things we probably didn’t even realise were happening at the time. Our photos tell the story of our day perfectly, and we’ll treasure them forever.
Choosing a wedding photographer is such an important decision, and we’re so glad we chose Tom. Having these moments captured so naturally and beautifully means more than words can say.
Thank you, Tom, for giving us memories we can look back on for the rest of our lives. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you to anyone looking for a wedding photographer! 🤍

Absolutely wonderful!
Tom was absolutely amazing and made our process seamless and stress free for our big day. We were initially amazed by Tom’s natural and candid style of photos, but we were absolutely blown away by our final results, even if on the day we were not that keen to take too many photos, every picture looked and felt so real and natural whilst also evoking our happiness of the day. We really appreciate that Tom and Lewis made us feel so comfortable and were never intrusive, allowing us to enjoy our wedding day naturally without feeling like we were constantly being photographed.

The photos are absolutely stunning — so bright, beautiful and full of life, exactly what we wanted! We couldn’t be happier with our photos and are so grateful to have such gorgeous memories of our special day. 1000% recommend!

Incredible Photographer, highly recommended!!
Booking Tom Groves was easily the best decision we made for our wedding! He is a true professional, and we couldn’t be happier with his work on the day. The final results were absolutely everything we wished for.
We can’t recommend Tom enough. Not only was he a good laugh and brilliant at making us feel completely natural and comfortable, but he also went above and beyond by acting as a coordinator, making sure we were always in the right place at the right time. What was also great, was how discrete he was! He would quickly come in, capture photos from different angles, and head off to another part of the venue. It allowed us to truly enjoy the moment because it never felt like we were constantly looking into a camera.
Finally, if you are considering the Photo Booth, do it! It was well worth it and the results were absolutely hilarious. Thank you, Tom!

A true professional, 10/10 would recommend!
Tom was an absolute 10/10 and one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From the moment he arrived, his calm and easy going presence put us both completely at ease, and it really shows in the photos. Every shot looks natural, relaxed and full of genuine emotion.
Tom went above and beyond. He chose loads of different locations to give a range of shots, and he essentially doubled as a coordinator throughout the day, lining guests up for the confetti, keeping the bridal party in the right place at the right time, and making sure everything flowed effortlessly. We barely had to think about a thing.
The results were stunning. We received hundreds of sneak peeks the very next day and honestly the hardest part now is choosing our favourites, there are just so many beautiful shots to pick from.
The photo booth was a brilliant touch too and an absolute hit during the evening party.
If you are looking for a photographer who is talented, professional, fun to have around and will genuinely help make your day run smoothly, Tom is your person. We are so grateful he was part of our day.

An eye for happy moments
We are so glad we chose Tom as our wedding photographer.
He blended in seamlessly to every part of the wedding, capturing every detail better than we could have imagined.
He was incredibly respectful of personal space and areas where people were getting ready which made us all feel very comfortable. When nerves set in a little, Tom was fantastic at making conversation and putting me at ease when it mattered most. He really did fit right in, not just with us but also our guests- who he got along with like a house on fire.
I had multiple guests comment on his ability to be consistently one step ahead, camera at the ready for all the moments they wanted to capture themselves, seconds before they had even noticed it.
We had a pretty packed schedule and it really felt like he had to be in five places at once to have captured all that he did. He truly has a talent for being in the right place at the right time and framing every moment just as you would want to remember it.
Turnaround time on the photos was amazingly fast, he was always available to communicate when we wanted and we thought the whole package was really great value for money.

Amazing photographer
We had Jon as our photographer for our wedding, one of Tom’s colleagues. Jon was absolutely amazing on the day of our wedding, he made it fun, had a laugh with us and made everyone feel at ease. He got involved with all the guests and all of the guests were saying what a good photographer he had been. We really appreciated that he tried to make sure we weren’t kept away from our guests for long. Tom has also been amazing, he responds very quickly and has been flexible around our work schedules. We received our sneak peak so quickly, it was lovely to show some of the guests some of the photos the day after our wedding. Thank you so much.

Couldn’t be happier with our pictures!
Wow! Tom and his team were amazing from start to finish. Tom was so helpful and responsive from when we booked and in the lead up to the wedding. We had Jon and Harry with us on the day. They both made us and all guests feel so comfortable all day. It was clear how passionate they are about their work and getting the best shots for us. We absolutely LOVED our sneak peaks - could not believe the number of photos we received the day after our wedding - all edited beautifully and captured the day perfectly. The turnaround for the full gallery and video is also really good - can’t wait to see the video as I just know it is going to be amazing! Would recommend using Tom and the team for your wedding

Tom
Owner - Founder
I’m Tom, the founder of Tom Groves Weddings.
I’ve spent the last decade photographing hundreds of weddings across Cheshire, Manchester and beyond, from elegant manor houses to relaxed countryside celebrations.
My approach is simple. I want you fully present on your wedding day, not stuck posing for hours. Most of your time should be spent with your people, enjoying it all, while I capture everything naturally as it happens.
Whether I’m there personally or one of my trusted team is shooting your day, every image is edited by me in the same warm, timeless style you see across my work. That consistency is a huge part of what we do.
What matters most to me is how your photos feel. Real moments, real emotion, and something that only becomes more valuable over time.
