Tom was absolutely wonderful as our photographer, and I wouldn't hesitate for a moment to hire him again if we were to do it all over. I have (and will continue) to recommend him to my friends. Tom was friendly and made it clear that his advertised packages were just a starting point. He was extremely flexible and willing to create any kind of picture package we wanted.

He set aside the whole day of our wedding to work with us at our convenience. He took our pictures at three different locations and was willing to let us do the poses WE wanted, but was also ready with ideas when we wanted them. We felt our pictures reflected our personalities wonderfully. Tom was also wonderful at the reception...he was EVERYWHERE, yet never in the way...I was so pleased to see the special moments he managed to capture, and I had thought would be lost in memory.

After the wedding, he followed up with us several times to assure we were happy with our pictures. I really felt like Tom was more concerned about assuring we were happy, than he was about the pay check. THAT is what makes him stand out, I believe.

Tom offers a wide range of options which he publishes up-front on his website. No calling needed to establish roughly how much things will cost - this was a big plus not only for budgeting purposes but I see it as more genuine and honest approach in an industry where everyone else seems to want to find ways to rip you off! We found his prices very reasonable when we compared vendors.

Although his website is not flashy it showcases his work well - the work speaks for itself. When we met Tom for the first time he wasn't at all pretentious unlike many of the more "upscale" vendors I had called. He simply allowed us to describe what we needed, filled us in on the pieces we weren't sure about and gave us some great ideas for customizing our photo event so that we got what we wanted. He has an artistic eye that is not formulaic - he just sees something that works and helps frame it so you end up with some really cool and original photos.

At the event he was on-time, smartly dressed (he checks what he needs to wear ahead of time to blend in) and provides the leadership needed to get things moving on a day when a lot is happening.
All in all, I would definitely hire him again for my next wedding. Not that I am planning to have another one. Ouch! Yes dear.

Thank you so much Tom for making our wedding day truly special! You not only captured every special moment, but went the extra mile to capture moments I would not have thought of. As a bride I had a million things running through your head, but you kept me focused and reminded me that it was my day.

You also went out of your way to take us to a very beautiful Japanese Garden! We loved the fact that you drove us and took care of us...less stress on us. Not to mention such amazing photos came out of that! You are an amazing photographer and your work proves it. Your personality is great and my husband loved your ideas on everything. I want to thank you again for making our day so special! I would HIGHLY recommend Tom Ellis if you want the best on your wedding day..he made ours the best!

Tom was absolutely great to work with from the very beginning! He was generous with information and very helpful when I had questions. He treated us like real people, not just clients. We were relieved to feel that we could trust him to follow through and do a great job. He was always professional, friendly, and paid great attention to detail. We could sense that he really wanted to do a good job for us. The pictures are positively beautiful and a perfect reflection of our big day. We can’t stop looking at them! We are very happy with Tom's work and will definitely recommend him to couples who want high quality service and pictures at reasonable prices. Thank you Tom!
