Hi, I am Tom.


It's the typical story where a young 20 something travels the world with a camera and absolutely falls in love with photography. Fast forward to now and I take my camera with me everywhere! Sometimes I have to be reminded by my wife that she isn’t a model and trekking up a mountain to get the ‘perfect’ shot isn’t a good date... 

I found that chocolate bribes help!

​

My style is all about capturing moments that are natural and full of fun and emotion. My editing reflects what I see on the day. It is not particularly dark or light, I aim for a timeless look that lasts forever. My perfect wedding day would be being able to capture the natural candid moments as they happen with a couple of 15 minute photo sessions for family photos and private couple photos throughout the day.


I've been shooting weddings for over 6 years and still get excited about every single one! I love getting creative (smoke bombs, sparklers etc) so if you do have a crazy interesting idea just let me know!

I became a Dad at the start of 2025! Which is the most amazing thing however being awake at 2am on the regular is not something I thought I'd be seeing in my mid 30's. Obviously I'm bringing him up on a healthy amount of rock and blues music while reading him The Hobbit to give him a head start in life. But, it has really brought home the importance of taking photos and having those photos to look back on. Pictures that I thought were just a bit 'boring' while taking them have actually turned out to be some of my favourites. So yes, the big epic photos in front of the sunset are awesome but most of the time the best ones are when your 3 year old niece is feeding your 90 year old Grandma her half eaten ice cream.

Testimonials

“Tom was absolutely fantastic!
Our wedding day was an absolute dream and Tom was a wonderful part of the "team" from the pre-wedding photos all the way to the reception evening. He got us away from the crowds for a few "just us" moments, and seamlessly blended in with our guests to capture some great moments. We had so many comments from other guests about his professionalism and friendliness.
So happy we chose Tom as our photographer!”
