Welcome,
I am a wedding & portrait photographer based in the western suburbs of Chicago, Illinois. My style and approach are a generous mix of documentary and editorial-style portraiture.
For the majority of the wedding day, I stay very hands-off, focusing 100% on the story. You won’t find me asking you or your friends to stage or recreate moments, but you will find me ready to capture those moments before they even happen. During the portrait sessions of your day, it’s a little different. I give plenty of direction, working to bring creative lighting and poses to make images that are as unique as the people in them. Though I do direct during portraits, my intentions are to capture the candid moments in between the poses to give you honest, natural photos.
I hold an Associate of Arts in Photography, a Bachelor of Arts in Business, and have over 10 years experience documenting weddings. If you love the work you see here and want something like it for yourself, please contact me. I would love the opportunity to tell your story.
“We can’t say enough about Tom! He was by far our favorite vendor we selected, and he was a fraction of the cost compared to these “Instagram” photographers. He was kind, easy to work with, kept us on track during our wedding - even some of our guests commented how much they liked our photographer! Choose Tom.”
