Hello

Behind The Camera

Hi, I’m Tom

I live with my wife and boys in Richmond BC. I am a foodie and self proclaimed wine snob. As a matter of fact, my wife and I met at a wine tasting.  Back in a previous life I was a wedding DJ; I have very good music knowledge – feel free to challenge me:-)  I have many years in the wedding industry even before developing a passion for  photography. My personality is service focused and I live and die to bring joy to people’s lives.

Photography is the confluence of art and science.

My technical background and acumen assists me delivering stunning artwork for my clients to enjoy for generations. I am proud of the glowing reviews I have received which echoes my customer first ideology.
I am very comfortable in front of crowds, getting people to loosen up and laugh out loud! Keep in mind, my camera is focused on the fun!

Yes, I always deliver a professional, timeless photo gallery with natural skin tones but what is different with me is that my ideal clients are free spirited and love to laugh and joke around. If you are looking for heavily posed, dark and dreary wedding photos, I’m probably not the guy for you. However, If you are looking for a charismatic, professional photographer, please get in touch!

40% Of Couples Are Disappointed In Their Wedding Photography

Why Are We Different?

It Is Our Approach

Through my heartfelt, personalized service, I take couples through a seamless, enjoyable experience. I bring a systematic approach that ensures professional, consistent results. My customer first ideology has shaped my commitment to excellence in every detail, ensuring each couple feels supported, comfortable, and confident throughout the process.

I break down the photography journey with practical steps:

1. Engagement Poses: I rely on four core poses that every couple can master. These are taught during the engagement session to build confidence.
2. Comfort & Reassurance: I help couples find “their” unique pose, giving them a go-to option that always looks amazing. I also provide constant positive reinforcement to reduce awkwardness.
3. Leadership During Sessions: I guide couples through each session with simple poses and prompts that feel natural, ensuring they enjoy the process and look their best.
4. Wedding Journey & Timeline: I map out a detailed wedding photography timeline with the couple, including a review of an inspiration board a month before the big day to set expectations and ensure smooth execution.

Tom is amazing! We were slightly nervous about a professional photo shoot but Tom made my fiancé and I so comfortable and at ease it was the most enjoyable part of our wedding journey so far. And the photos were incredible - his eye for setting and poses was brilliant.We are so looking forward to having Tom at our wedding as as a professional photographer, but also as a person.

Tom is a true artist behind the lens. His passion for capturing genuine moments shines through in every photograph. From the first consultation to the final delivery, he made us feel like we were the only couple in the world. His attention to detail and ability to blend into the background allowed us to enjoy our day without feeling like we were constantly posing. The memories he captured are treasures that we will cherish forever. If you want a photographer who understands the importance of your story, Tom is your guy.
