He is such a friendly person with a great laidback vibe that makes the sessions feel fun and relaxing. He has good recommendations for where to go and how to pose for pictures, but also makes it feel very natural and follows our lead.

We hired Andy for our wedding in September 2025. After some thoughtful research, what sold us on…read morehis work was his effortless ability to capture the perfect moments of a wedding day--especially his night photography and dance floor shots. He is incredibly professional, and we felt very comfortable with him from the start. He made us laugh, which was so helpful in easing those stressful moments. We were very impressed with his timeline and how smoothly he kept everything moving. He was prompt, had great ideas for photo locations to get the best results, and was also open to our input--making sure our ideas came to life. Andy was flexible with his packages to fit our budget; we had originally planned for five hours of coverage but decided to upgrade to the full eight hours because photography is so important to us. His communication throughout the entire process was amazing. He provided a helpful welcome guide to navigate the wedding process and a detailed questionnaire to plan out who would be photographed during cocktail hour. Again, his communication was flawless! Here was our timeline for a 4:00 PM wedding with a first look: 2:00 - Photography begins / detail shots and getting ready 2:40 - First Look 3:00 - Bridal Party (together, separate, solos) 4:00 - Ceremony 4:30 - Family Photos / Cocktail Hour 5:45 - Grand Entrance with First Dance 6:00 - Dinner 6:30 - Shoe Game 6:45 - Speeches 7:00 - Sunset Photos 7:20 - Dances 7:25 - Open Dance Floor 9:50 - Bubble Exit 10:00 - Photography ends Helpful tip to those planning a wedding, we only wished we had also hired a videographer to capture the words said or designate someone to take videos with their phone.

He did an absolutely amazing job with the photos and it took us right back to our special day. Not only were the finished products amazing, but on the actual day he was so supportive, calm, thorough and professional. I also can't believe all the shots he got without an assistant! My favorite part was how he captured our reactions in the moment and the reactions of all our friends and family - it was so special to be able to experience everyone's perspective through his photos! The shots were absolutely beautiful and natural and felt like us. He made us feel so comfortable on such an important day! I would 10/10 recommend him! Thank you Tom!

We just had our wedding in Santa Cruz, and Tom was AMAZING!…read more From a product standpoint, Tom's photos are dazzling. He really knows how to work with the light he is presented with (a harsh direct sun for our ceremony, and the pictures turned out great).

As great as the photos are, Tom is even better on the service side. Super professional, personal, and easy going,....he made us relaxed and confident.
