Q&A with Tom & Heather
Sit down with us
Meet Tom
Before I ever picked up a camera, I picked up a guitar.
I studied music in college, played in numerous bands and even worked at Sony Music in NYC for a time, chasing the dream. But while I loved the art, the business side of the music industry wasn’t where I felt at home.
Then I found photography. What started as a creative outlet quickly became a calling. I noticed so many parallels to my musical training—the rhythm, the emotion, the storytelling—and I was hooked.
These days, I photograph weddings with the same care and intentionality I bring to songwriting. But more than just creating beautiful images, I’m here to help you feel grounded. I take pride in being a calm, uplifting anchor throughout the day—so you can be present, soak it all in, and feel truly seen.
It’s not just about how your wedding looked—it’s about how it felt to be there.

a FEW FUN FACTS ABOUT TOM...
WE LOVE TAKING 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
my heart belongs to ANALOG PHOTOGRAPHY
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 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
I love to paint with oils and watercolors. 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
Bringing soothing, uplifting energy to your wedding day is kind of my thing—from the little moments (giving you space to pause and take it all in) to the big ones (making sure you actually enjoy your day instead of just posing through it).
The best photographs come when you’re fully in the moment.
YOUR VIDEOGRAPHER with all the positive vibes
A little more about me: I feel most at peace watching a beach sunset or getting lost in a good book—and I love a spontaneous kitchen dance party. Yoga, meditation and long, soulful convos (especially with Tom, who’s always asking big questions) are part of my everyday joy. I can’t wait to meet you and your partner. ☺️

"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!!!
