About Me
Hi, I’m Tom, a husband, father, and wedding photographer.
I’ve always had an appreciation for photography. Some of my earliest memories are of my Grandad taking family photos with his 35mm film camera. Having become a father myself in the last few years, it's really highlighted to me how fleeting time is, and how crucial it is to preserve those precious moments.
My journey into serious photography began in 2012, when a friend introduced me to their DSLR camera. I was immediately impressed, which inspired me to get my own. What started as a curiosity quickly became a full-blown passion (my wife would say addiction).
As someone who prefers being behind the camera rather than in front of it, I understand how daunting it can be for some people to pose on command. With this in mind, my style is centered around guiding my clients into natural and relaxed poses. Letting the real person come through, rather than trying to make them into something they're not.
Why Weddings?
By 2017, I had already been passionate about photography for several years. I had experimented with various genres of photography. As my interest grew, it began to consume most of my free time. However, I wasn’t quite sure which direction to focus my efforts on.
That changed when some friends asked me to be the photographer on their wedding day. Of course, I felt very proud to have been asked, and I did everything I could to prepare as best I could, but with no prior wedding photography experience it was slightly daunting! However, it all went well, and that day, I realised I had found my true passion. The emotions, love, joy, tears, and laughter made every moment a dream to capture!
What I also love about wedding photography is the challenge. It’s not confined to a single genre; it blends elements of portraiture, landscape, architectural, and even product photography. Each wedding brings its own unique set of challenges, often requiring quick thinking and adaptability.
Photographing someone's wedding is both a great privilege and responsibility. My role is to capture and immortalise those moments so you can look back years later and relive the day again and again!
"Tom has such a lovely kind and calming manner, and has a magical perfect blend of being completely unobtrusive and capturing candid moments, whilst also managing to quietly direct in order to gather family members for group shots. His approach meant that photos felt like a fun, relaxed part of the day. He is obviously experienced in the poses that work for natural couple shots and I couldn't be more delighted with our wedding photos!"
