Photography + Super 8

“We truly couldn’t imagine a better photographer than Tom. From the beginning, his distinctive point of view and refined, unfussy style immediately drew us in—his images have a quiet elegance and a remarkable sense of humanity. They feel alive. Looking through our photographs transports us straight back to the emotions of the day: the warmth of the sun during the ceremony, the energy on the dance floor, the atmosphere that made it all so memorable.

This was a second wedding for both of us—less traditional, more personal—and Tom embraced that wholeheartedly. He understood exactly what we envisioned and made us feel completely confident long before the day arrived. That comfort translated into photographs that feel natural, emotive, and deeply meaningful. The fleeting glances, the in-between moments, the shared breath—he captured all of it with such intuition and care.

Beyond the photographs themselves, Tom and his team were an absolute joy to have with us. They felt like part of the celebration, bringing warmth, ease, and genuine enthusiasm. Their presence elevated the entire experience, helping us feel relaxed, beautiful, and fully ourselves. We cherish every image, and there’s no question we’ll ask Tom to photograph any future milestone. He is exceptional.”
