Total legend!!!! Best. Photographer. Ever. Tom was honestly not only our photographer, he was our moral support when feeling nervous, it really did feel like you had your best mate capturing all your special moments all day. Tom was so professional and from start to finish and was just 5* at every point of contact. If we are honest we are gutted we are not able to hang out with him more. We highly recommend Tom to everyone he is simply the best! Thanks for coming and being part of our big mosher wedding!!

Where do I even begin with Tom. We stumbled on Toms Instagram when looking for our wedding photographer, and we loved his style. His authenticity and his photography spoke for itself in the posts on his page. So we booked a consultation and met Tom via Zoom for the first time. He immediately made us feel as ease and we booked him there and then. Throughout the build up to our wedding, he was so helpful and responsive, even sent us a gift in the run up to the wedding which was so special and such a magical touch. On the day of the wedding, Tom arrived and there was just a calmness about him on what was set to be a very hectic day! Not only did he charm every single guest, he was so friendly and charming that our 4 year old niece was absolutely obsessed with him, he even let her help him take a couple photos which she was thrilled about. We waited with such excitement for our wedding photos, and after getting the sneak peeks through we just couldn’t wait to see the final album. The album dropped today, and myself and my husband Aarron sat through them in floods of tears - happy ones! The way Tom captures everything from the magical and beautiful to the scenery, and the real raw emotions that are felt on the day are something that I physically cannot describe. Our photos are out of this world, and I genuinely don’t think that we could have asked for any better. We’ve said it before, but Tom really is a wizard at what he does. He is the best in the business and we owe him so much for the memories of our special day that will last a lifetime. Tom, you captured everything so elegantly and beautifully, including family members who without you, we wouldn’t have any more photographs of. I cannot recommend you any more highly, thank you again for everything you do. Your talent and passion shines through in the photos you’ve taken to commemorate our wonderful wedding. If you are looking for a photographer for weddings, engagements, and just about anything else, I fully recommend Tom. I’d get married all over again just to have Tom come back and photograph for us.

Thank you so much for taking the time to write this. I feel genuinely humbled reading it.

From that first Zoom chat, I could tell you were the kind of couple who cared most about the meaning of the day, not the performance of it, and it was a real privilege to be the one trusted to capture it all. Knowing you felt at ease throughout the build up and on the wedding day itself means a huge amount to me. That calm, confident feeling is exactly what I hope to bring.

I also absolutely loved meeting your guests, and your niece made my day. Letting her “help” with a couple of photos is one of those little moments I will remember for a long time.

Hearing that you and Aarron sat and watched your gallery in happy tears is everything. The biggest compliment is knowing the photos brought you straight back to how it all felt, the joy, the emotion, the magic, and all the little in-between moments that matter just as much.

And what you said about capturing family members who you might not have many more photos of is something I will not take lightly. Thank you for trusting me with that. It is exactly why I do what I do.

I am so grateful you chose me, and I am even more grateful that these images will live with you for years to come. Thank you again, truly.

Tom was wonderful!!! Arranged a proposal and Tom was there to capture the moment. Tom was very easy to talk to and get along with. As this was a surprise proposal, it felt like he went above and beyond with all the little details, even making it not look obvious that he was there for us. We love our photos! Neither of us enjoy having a photo taken and Tom’s relaxed, natural style was perfect! We would highly recommend Tom to anyone!

Thank you so much! It was such a pleasure to be part of such a special moment — I still remember the excitement and nerves in the air that day! I’m so glad you both love the photos and that my relaxed approach helped you feel at ease. It really was an honour to capture the start of such a wonderful new chapter for you both.

We can't thank Tom enough for the incredible job he did on our big day. Not only was he extremely professional and talented, but also an absolute joy to have around. Despite us (the bride and groom!) not feeling our best on the day, they remained calm, kind, and completely un phased – helping to keep everything running smoothly. Tom was also brilliant with our 3 year old son, often including him in the process and making him feel really special. He absolutely loved being part of it, and it meant so much to us. In fact, he enjoyed it so much that we ended up having to buy him his own camera after the wedding, because he kept wanting to take photos on our phones! Safe to say, Tom left a lasting impression He also fit in so naturally with our guests, making everyone feel comfortable and capturing such genuine moments throughout the day. He also worked seamlessly with our videographer, the two of them made a fantastic team, bouncing off each other effortlessly and creating such a relaxed and fun atmosphere for everyone. We’re so grateful for the beautiful memories he captured and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Tom to anyone looking for someone professional, friendly, and incredibly skilled.

Thank you so much for such an amazing and thoughtful review! It honestly means the world to hear this. I know the day didn't always go exactly as you both had hoped, but you handled everything with such grace, and it was an absolute privilege to be there documenting it all for you.

Your little one completely stole the show – he was a total star! I'm so glad he felt included (and that he's now got his very own camera – that made me smile so much).

It was also an absolute pleasure working alongside your videographer and being part of such a fun, relaxed atmosphere with your friends and family. I'm so happy you now have these memories to look back on and relive, and I'm genuinely grateful for your kind words and recommendation.

Wishing you all the happiness in the world as you start this next chapter together!

I booked Tom to photograph my engagement and could not have been happier with the experience. From the very beginning, he was incredibly communicative in helping me coordinate a time with good lighting and offering general advice based on previous engagements he'd shot. On the day itself, my now-fiancée was completely surprised and Tom captured the moment beautifully. After the engagement, we continued with a photo shoot that lasted for over an hour. We both really loved spending time with Tom and felt very relaxed and natural as he took our photographs. Getting to know Tom truly added to the experience and made the whole engagement even more special. In addition to being a great photographer, Tom was simply a really fun and lovely person to be around. The photos from the engagement are stunning and we've enjoyed being able to look back at them and share them with friends and family. It was a wonderful experience overall and both my fiancée and I would highly recommend Tom.

Thanks you so much for your kind and thoughtful review. It was such a joy to be part of your engagement and help in bringing the surprise together. I’m so glad that the planning paid off and that you both felt comfortable and relaxed throughout; it’s always my aim to make the experience feel natural and enjoyable. Hearing that the photos have brought so much joy to you means the world to me. Wishing you both all the love and happiness as you plan your next chapter together.

Incredible Experience with Tom for our Engagement + Puppy photos! We had the absolute best time working with Tom for our engagement photos — and he was amazing with our puppy, too! We got so lucky with the weather, and Tom made the most of the beautiful light and setting. From the beginning, on it in responding to queries, he was friendly, chatty and made us feel so relaxed and natural, which really came through in the photos. He was so patient and great with our pup. Tom captured the cutest pictures even when puppy was full of energy and more interested in the new smells! The photos turned out so beautiful —candid, and full of genuine moments. Tom is so talented and has an incredible eye. He made the whole experience feel effortless and fun. We’re so grateful he was able to capture such special memories for us. The edits were gorgeous, and the gallery was delivered quickly. Highly recommend Tom to anyone looking for a talented, kind, family and pet-friendly photographer! Thanks again Tom!

Tom is unbelievably talented at what he does. He was the perfect fit for our wedding, as we wanted storytelling, candid, and in-the-moment photos rather than spending the day posing. We chose only eight formal family/friends photos, and when it came to the two of us, Tom’s complete emphasis was on us simply chatting and enjoying our time together—one of the few moments we had alone all day. We didn’t give him a specific brief beyond capturing the story of our day, and that’s exactly what he did. His edits are warm, fun, and full of life—you can truly see all the joy and laughter from the day in his photos. Tom made every single person feel at ease, especially in those pre-ceremony moments! Throughout the day, he was everywhere yet nowhere—an absolute magician at capturing moments without ever feeling intrusive. We honestly don’t know how he does it, but the result is pure perfection. Our final wedding album exceeded our expectations, and we couldn’t be happier. If you choose Tom as your wedding photographer, you will not be disappointed!

We could not have asked for more on our Wedding Day, from the first meeting to the frantic preparations in the morning, Tom made us feel completely at ease and confident in front of the camera. The pictures are absolutely stunning, so accurately capturing the mood and special moments. Tom honestly felt like one of the guests, it was an absolute pleasure to have him there to celebrate with us!

Tom was absolutely fantastic as our wedding photographer. Of all the suppliers we had, I think the absolute best of them was Tom. We didn't notice he was there for a lot of it and he captured bits of the wedding we hadn't even seen ourselves! He eased our nerves and we felt so natural and at home with him, the moments were the bits that felt like it was just us. We loved the relaxed, natural style and the gallery of pictures are just stunning. He gave us the best advice for the day just before we came out for the confetti shot, "you set the tone of your wedding, the guests feed of your vibe". It really did help a day full of love and laughter. Thank you Tom!!

We were looking for someone with local outdoor knowledge as we wanted to get married up on Stanage Edge. We were immediately drawn to Tom's friendly nature and our guests thought he was a friend of ours rather than someone we had hired! Tom went above and beyond on the day to make everything fun and took the time to ensure that everything was the best it could be. We couldn't have asked for anything more from him and would wholeheartedly recommend him. Thank you Tom for capturing our wedding day so well. We will enjoy our photos for many years to come.

When we began researching wedding photographers we found Tom's website. The photos he captures were exactly what we were looking for, that coupled with his relaxed approach led to our first Zoom meeting. As soon as we had spoken to Tom, we both knew instantly we wanted to him to document our day and give us the timeless photos we can keep forever. I booked the pre-wedding shoot as a suprise for the wife's birthday afew months before the wedding day and would 100% recommend it. Meeting Tom ahead of the big day helped us both feel at ease and comfortable in front of the camera which was a new experience for us both! Tom documented our wedding day absolutely perfectly, we could not have asked for anything more. The photos we have are exactly as he described capturing the natural feel of the atmosphere... even went above and beyond getting the rings from the hotel to the venue after I had forgotten them, saving the day! Honestly could not recommend Tom enough, absolute professional, amazing photographer and all round lovely guy. Thank you for everything Tom! Phil & Sarah

We want to say thank you from the bottom of our hearts for keeping us both on track and making our wedding day so memorable. We were both overwhelmed and you allowed us to enjoy some really special moments together which were captured perfectly in our photos. Your professionalism shone through and made everyone relaxed and we loved having you at our special day. The guests felt very at ease and you managed to capture some magical moments which told the story of our day perfectly. Your ability to offer calming advice when appropriate helped with the nerves We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you and to anyone considering using you, it’s definitely the best decision we made. Thank you for going above and beyond for us

Thank you so much to you both. It was funny when we first met and realised Ryan and I shared the same surname (and soon so would you Nicky), not often I get to meet some of the distant clan namesake :-) Your day was lovely and so were your guests, I loved being a part of it and being able to capture the beautiful moments for you all to look back on for many years to come. Thanks so much for having me along.
