We wanted to do a lifestyle family photo shoot on short notice and Tomas was willing to work with our schedule. We wanted to take the photos on the Golden Gate Bridge but because it was the weekend after Christmas, there was a lot of traffic on the bridge. So we changed the location last minute, Tomas was so accommodating. We went to a location he suggested on Baker Beach and it was lovely! He was so friendly which made it more comfortable. We had a great time and the photos turned out great! He also put the photos on a website so we can download the ones we wanted! We also wanted to have some of the photos expanded and he was willing to send us the pictures in a bigger size. It was a wonderful experience and we would book with him again! read more

We used Tomas for our wedding photography and are so happy with how our photos turned out! Tomas is easygoing, professional and affordable. I had a very short "must have" shots list, but Tomas came up with all sorts of other ideas too. Neither of us are particularly experienced when it comes to posing for professional photos but Tomas gave us good direction and always put us at ease. If I ever need to hire a photographer again I would absolutely use Tomas! read more

Tomas Demenis Photography - Tomas Demenis Photography. - Event Photography Near Me

This review is long overdue! As I'm helping my girlfriend plan her wedding, I realized I never left Tomas a review. Tomas is very professional and punctual. He arrived on time & went straight to taking photos. He took photos constantly throughout the night and we have an ample supply of our special day. He never interfered or got in the way. Even when the dance floor was going crazy get got up in there and took photo after photo. They were VERY entertaining to look through. I will spare our guests and not post those on Yelp :) I added an extra hour last minute and it wasn't an issue. I paid the rest of our payment on the day of the wedding. He didn't ask or pressure us to get the money. My Maid of Honor handed out the rest of the payments at the END of the night. I cannot rave enough about Tomas. I have been recommending him all over. Even our guests told us he was wonderful! Hands down the best! read more

Thank you Tomas you're the BEST! read more

Tomas Demenis Photography - Wedding Day in Napa Valley 2015 - Event Photography Near Me

I found Tomas while searching Google for an affordable photographer. When I came across his site, I was very impressed by what I saw. I also read great reviews on his site as well as his Yelp page. I e-mailed him and got a reply right away. Everything fell into place wonderfully. On the day of the wedding Tomas was wonderful. I was completely unprepared with ideas, but luckily he had so many. And even when we were not doing poses, he snapped away and captured some wonderful candid moments. I am grateful to him for this because as a bride you do not get to see everything that's going on at your wedding. The pictures turned out wonderful and I received them in the time frame he promised. I would highly recommend Tomas to anyone looking for a really great photographer who knows what he's doing, is very professional, and gets you a beautiful product. Thank you, Tomas!!! read more

Anyone looking for a photographer should definitely hire Tomas. We hired him for our wedding and he took outstanding photos. He was great to work with as he was very fun and friendly. He was also very creative in taking a multitude of poses and flattering angles. This guy knows what he is doing. He made it very easy for us to select him as our photographer. He was very prompt at responding to emails and questions. We were able to setup a meeting to meet face to face and discuss the plans for the wedding day. Overall, an excellent experience! ~Lana&Virag read more

Tomas is a thorough professional. We wanted our son's first birthday party photographed. He was on time and very attentive. He has amazing skills in photography. All our friends and relatives liked his work. He was making our guests comfortable and clicking them. He also provided a link to download all photos and they were excellent quality. We can watch them on our phone, our laptops, everywhere. We will highly recommend him and definitely call him for all our future events read more

Tomas was very professional and very polite I hired him to take pictures at a family event, which this is the 1st time I ever had pictures taken for a family bbq OMG I hope to hire him for every family event I have. pictures were perfect!!! he made perfect long lasting memories that are just beautiful. I will not use anyone else! thanks Tomas for perfect pictures!! read more

The best photographer we could have ever gotten. We contacted him on a very short notice and he was prompt to reply. Tomas had a very reasonable price which he stated from the very beginning. He was very professional and went above and beyond our expectations. Our wedding took place at the City Hall in San Francisco and he was well acquainted with every corner of that place and was able to make the most out of it. We would highly recommend Tomas for any type of occasions you may want to preserve through his work. Do not look somewhere else for a GREAT photographer! Thank you so much Tomas for making our wedding forever memorable! Ade and Rigo. read more

I spent a lot of time over the past few weekends looking for a family photographer for our annual holiday photos. Most folks were outrageously priced or quoted a low upfront price and then wanted to charge more for every digital print. I finally found Tomas Demenis and he did a great job. I liked him because he is patient with children, did not have any hidden charges and did good quality work. His primary experience is in wedding photography but he is good with families too. He shot about two hours of pictures at an outdoor location plus gave us edited digital pictures. Flat fee. We agreed that he would give me 50 digital pictures and he sent us many more. Some had the right filters and effects, some were black and white. Overall, I came away happy with the experience and felt like he captured family memories that we will cherish for a long time. read more

We used Tomas to do our holiday photographs this year and it couldn't have been a smoother or a more perfect shoot. The family consisted of a feisty toddler, a scared dog, a non-mobile Mom-in-law and 2 harried folks trying to get this done. Tomas took all that in his stride and was able to get us 250+ gorgeous pictures in the short time we were able to keep everyone/ everything together. The best part was that his fees were very reasonable and was a round sum that included everything, including all the pictures in a digital format. There is nothing worse, in my opinion, than paying a photographer AND THEN paying $50+ for each digital print, after. I can't recommend Tomas highly enough! read more

Thomas is hands-down THE most talented and patient photographer I've seen! He did the photo shot for my boy 100 days. First of all, he was very accommodating - really making the effort to ease things out. Very flexible with scheduling and good/patient with kids. Second, transparent with the price and no hidden cost at all. He gave us all the 200+ photos on a nice UsB stick. No fuzz. Last but most importantly, the pictures came out awesome! Very nice color, I loved the editing he did and he also captured facial expressions really well. Recommend to everyone who's looking to record the important moments of your life! And you'll look nice in them! read more

This is my first review! I typically don't write reviews (even though I use Yelp all the time) but I really wanted to leave feedback for this remarkable photographer! We had a great experience with Tomas as our photographer for my sister's bridal shower. He did such an amazing job capturing this special moment. I will no doubt return to Tomas and highly recommend him as a photographer! read more

Tomas did the shots for our family in Stanford campus and he did an amazing job. We were connected to him through a friend who had used him for baby 100 days celebration. We were travelling to Bay Area so not very flexible timing wise and he tried his best to fit us in. We have a 15-month old girl so things are easily out of control, he is very patient with kids and took some great shot for the little one, as well as whole family together. He quoted a reasonable price - flat fees and no hidden charge. The best part is he gives almost 300 full resolution shots so you can choose. he also made some great editions. I would highly recommend Tomas. read more

WOW! Tomas is the absolute best photographer that we could have asked for. Not only is he extremely easy to communicate with, prompt, pleasant to work with, fast and efficient, but he was EXTREMELY affordable. My husband and I booked him for our October 16th wedding recently and we were originally going to have an outdoor ceremony/reception, but it POURED rain. I was so nervous about the photos, but I think that the rain combined with Tomas's incredible talent was the absolute best thing that could have happened to our wedding pictures. We originally wanted to walk around the venue area and take photos outside, but thank goodness we stayed inside and used the Hotel as the back ground to our photos. Our photos came out absolutely stunning and our guests are still raving about how awesome Tomas was and how he was so friendly, happy and seemed to have so much fun! We took quite a few photos in front of mirrored back grounds and he would get in the most uncomfortable looking positions to get the shot. Tomas was literally everywhere at my wedding, but nowhere at the same time (hahaha)! He was so discrete that I have no recollection of him taking over half of the photos that he took. My husband and I are suckers for candid shots, and Tomas is so incredibly talented at taking amazing candid's. Thank you SO much Tomas for your amazing work! I will be contacting you for our son's 2nd birthday pictures soon! =) read more

Tomas is great!! He was our photographer for our baby's first birthday party! He is fast and easy to work with! His pictures are great too! We are so happy that we got him. Thanks again Tomas! The pictures were beautiful! We hope you'll be staying in this business for a looooong time! Hoping to get u again on our next events in the future! read more

We had Tomas photograph our Rehearsal Dinner and Welcome drinks and he was absolutely wonderful!! We only wish he could've photographed the rest of our weekend! He fit in well with the crowd, was kind and considerate, andddd he didn't get annoyed by my dad jumping up to take pictures every 5 seconds! We received our pictures in about a week and we LOVE them! He really was able to capture the evening and everyone involved. We don't live in Northern California, but are already thinking about how we can have Tomas take our Christmas card photograph and our family pictures in the future! His price was also VERY good. We WILL be using him in the future! read more

Tomas did a wonderful job with our photo session with our active toddler. We had just done a photo session in one of those places in the mall courtesy of a groupon coupon, and it was quickly clear that our family unit doesn't do well in that setting for now. I figured I'd just make do with looking through all our wonderful, but very unorganized pictures, to find some to use for our holiday card. But thankfully my husband heard about Tomas through a coworker, and I figured I'd try him out. Tomas was patient with us, gave us ideas for different settings, sent us a few highlight pictures within hours, and gave us our entire set of pictures promptly. I also liked the things others have mentioned - willing to travel, had very reasonable rates (and flat rate at that), and gave me digital versions of my pictures (I am one of those people who love putting together photo books so I like getting all of them). Tomas has an eye for colors, and his pictures pop. He'll be a great team member in helping you capture your family/wedding/special memories! read more

I can't say enough great things about Tomas and his crew. Not only are his prices affordable and realistic for the average couple getting married but he is one of the nicest people I have ever met. He is professional add thinks outside the box when it comes to pictures. I would highly recommend Tomas and his crew. Thank you Tomas for capturing our special day!!! read more

Tomas was great! I was a little nervous picking our wedding photographer through Yelp reviews, but it was a wonderful choice! He was fantastic, from first contact to the day of the event to the great pictures he took. He not only was a fantastic photographer, he was hilarious and fun. All the guests were talking about how awesome he was. To top it off his prices were the best I found. read more

Tomas was a godsend! Our previous photographer was nonresponsive so I had to search for a replacement photographer very last minute. Tomas was so quick to respond and even on the phone demonstrated professionalism. He was easy to talk to and understood my vision for our wedding which was an enchanted forest theme. He was kind enough to visit the site ahead of time to explore the area. Tomas's pricing is outstanding for his beautiful work! He is creative and takes suggestions of what we wanted while also being confident enough to add his own artistic expression. The results are amazing!!! He was so engaging within the wedding while being subtle enough to capture every sensitive meaningful moment. He is clearly always aware of opportunities to capture the best imagery! We absolutely recommend him for any important occasion! read more

We were looking for a photographer for our 20th wedding anniversary party and, through the power of the interweb, we found Tomas Demenis. Unlike the countless others we contacted Tomas ALWAYS replied to our emails and was willing to meet me in the City not once, but twice! We discussed our need for a non intrusive service that really captured the mood and the atmosphere of our event and Tomas met all of our needs with aplomb. His pictures were outstanding; great colour and composition - from the setting and the venue, to folks enjoying themselves, to the group pictures, the dancing and the rather amazing (and extremely well frequented) photo booth/dressup - Tomas got it all. And then to top it off, he had the pictures up (all 715 of them) online for us to share with our guests the next day. Let me repeat that: THE NEXT DAY. I have friends and family weddings that we went to over a year ago that we haven't seen pictures from yet! Totally blew us away on all counts. And to top it off, Tomas is a wonderful chap, extremely down to earth and fabulous to work with. He gave us all this at a truly unbelievable price and we absolutely will have him back for our next event. read more
