In addition to choosing a photographer whose work deeply resonates with you, it's important that your photographer's personality blends in with your own in order to capture genuine moments. I am fortunate to encounter a full spectrum of personalities, from reserved and quiet to wild and outgoing. The greatest compliments I can receive is hearing that my clients loved their photos but also enjoyed working with me. It's important for clients to not only have confidence in my photography, but also enjoy the experience. Below are just some of the compliments I have received from past clients.


We have worked with Thomas multiple times now. He photographed our engagement, our wedding, and our maternity shoot and we couldn’t be more happy with his work! The photos are gorgeous, high quality, and do such a phenomenal job of capturing these special moments in our lives. Picking the right photographer is a huge choice, and I cannot recommend Thomas enough!

Picking Thomas was one of the best decisions of the wedding planning process. I would easily recommend him to anyone getting married in Chicago.
— Elizabeth & Michael
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.
— Kelly & Greg
Thank you so very much for capturing all the amazing moments of our wedding day. We could not have picked a better photographer than you. We are still in awe when we look at all the moments you captured!
— Ali & Tyler
We absolutely love them! You are amazing! Thank you so much for everything!! I was going to text you last night just saying how much fun we had with you. But it was a little late so I will say it here how much we enjoy working with you. You are a very talented man and you couldn’t make us happier with your work. We can’t wait to share these with friends and family. I cried happy tears as I was looking through them. You have a intricate eye at capturing people’s happiest moments. We are so lucky to have found you. We love your heart and spirit and it will be an honor to have you a part of our special day :) Thank you again for everything!
— Theresa & Tyler
Thomas did a wonderful job of photographing our wedding. He really captured all the special moments that we wanted to remember as well as all the fine details that were so carefully chosen for our day. From the loving glances my husband and I exchanged during our first dance right down to the matching place settings, Thomas caught it all for us and he did so in such artistically composed pictures that you would expect to see them in a high end magazine spread.
— Susan & Chris
We got married in June 2017 and used Thomas for our engagement and wedding photos. We are thrilled we did! He was very accommodating and responsive to what we wanted. For our engagement photos, we really wanted downtown Chicago photos and Thomas met us bright and early at 5:30am to get good lighting and to avoid any pedestrians in our shots. Prior to our wedding day, we had a couple of calls with Thomas to go over details. He suggested small tweaks to ensure things would go smoothly. He captured all of the shots we wanted and was very pleasant to work with! We would definitely recommend Thomas to other couples :).
— Sarah & Nate
Thomas passion for photography is a true gift. He captured every moment that we wanted and also added his own unique photography skills to create stunning pictures that we wouldn’t have thought of. We are forever grateful that we chose Thomas for our photographer. Thank you for the beautiful memories!
— Susie & Joe
Thank you for everything! It was such a pleasure working with you. Amazing photos and you were both incredibly professional and patient with us.
— Charlene & Scott
Oh my goodness !!!! These are freaking amazing!! ;) Thanks a million for your creative eye and kind words. You are a delight! Don and I really enjoyed having you work with us and will definitely refer our friends and family. Thanks a million.
— Jennifer & Donald
We absolutely LOVE our pictures! Thomas listened to what we wanted and captured everything throughout the day.
— Ally & Adam
Thomas was awesome and definitely had a great eye for detail. He was helpful in suggesting poses and we truly enjoyed working with him.
— Bailey & Tyler
We are extremely pleased to have had Thomas take our engagement, wedding and trash the dress photos. He captured our wedding day so beautifully. Our pictures will be a lasting reminder of how special the day was. Thomas captured all the important moments in a way that was timeless and yet unexpected “ so many wedding photos end up looking exactly the same and posed. He really got “us” (including our families and friends) at our best that day. Most importantly, we feel like anyone looking through our album can have a sense of what the wedding was like, as a whole, after looking at the photographs. He is truly talented and wonderful at what he does and it has been a pleasure working with him.
— Britain & Nick
Darren and I loved our engagement and wedding photos. Thank you so much for working with us. We already referred you to a good friend of ours.
— Darren & Melissa
Thomas hands down is one of the nicest photographers I know. As a business owner and wedding vendor myself, we work with hundreds of photographers every weekend and I can truly say Thomas is by far one of the most genuine photographers out there. Such a nice guy, and extremely easy to work with. We worked together on a past clients wedding back in 2021 and ever since then I knew this was a photographer I wanted to work with again. His work is amazing and he truly cares about his clients!! Definitely recommend!
