Meet Tom

Before I ever picked up a camera, I was a musician. I actually went to school for music, not photography! After a brief stint at Sony Music in NYC, I realized that though I loved the art of music, the business side wasn't for me.

I did love the business side of photography though—I soon fell in love with a different hobby, photographing people. I found many parallels to my formal musical training—I became hooked fast!

I love to capture weddings—not only do we get to create amazing images together, I can be a calm and uplifting anchor for you and help you do your best to take it all in.

a FEW FUN FACTS ABOUT ME...

I LOVE wEDDING DAY SELFIES

We don't always remember, but we  try our best to remember to take a selfie with all of the couples we work with if time allows!

1

I ENJOY THE PROCESS OF PHOTOGRAPHING ON FILM

For my personal work, I photograph exclusively with film cameras. I love the process of developing and printing photographs by hand in a darkroom. I'll even sometimes bring a few of my film cameras to weddings!

2

i'm A singer-songwriter

I went to school for music, and it's still a huge passion of mine. When I’m not taking photographs, I also enjoy writing, performing, and recording my own songs. You can check them out here!

3

SURFING & SNOWBOARDING ARE huge PASSIONs

In a strange way, much of where I am in life I owe to my desire to chase these personal interests in tandem with my career. For that I am grateful!

I'M AN ASPIRING ARTIST

In my free time, I love to paint with oils and watercolor. Painting helps me practice a different set of visual art skills that inspire my photographs. I sometimes use my wedding photos as a reference!

Meet HEATHER

Being your cheerleader and advocate on your wedding day is kinda my thing, from the little details (pushing a stray hair back from your face or helping you fluff your dress) to the big ones (making sure you get time to truly enjoy your wedding). Our mission, besides taking stunning photographs, is making your day about you, not just about taking pictures. 

A little more about me: I love traveling (the best trips are a combo of city & seaside), getting lost in a good book (really into nonfiction lately), random mid-day dance parties at home, meditating, yoga and deep convos (see Tom's love for discussing the meaning of life!). I’m so excited to meet you and your partner. ☺️

I think one of the reasons I’m on this planet (getting real deep here!) is to encourage others.

"We could not have asked for a better experience with Tom!"

It was honestly perfect and we are sad to see it end-we really got to know Tom & Heather throughout the process and love their approach and most importantly their company!

During our first video meeting we felt so comfortable and at ease and booked right away. Aside from Tom being professional and extremely knowledgeable, his work just speaks for itself. He brought such a great personality and charisma to everything and communicated with us very well throughout. We felt at ease during the entire process, loved both he and Heather's personalities, and felt like they really spent the time getting to know us as a couple.

We live in Ireland and were planning a wedding in the states. Having Tom & Heather guide us through the process eliminated any stress with planning abroad. Thank you Tom and Heather, you truly made our experience perfect!!!
