About

Hi, I'm Tom!

I am a photographer from Derby and shoot all around the UK. I absolutley love weddings and being lucky enough to spend my time capturing all those wedding day moments for my couples makes me very happy! 90% of my photography is capturing all those natural moments that happen in the wedding. From the morning preperations to the drunken dancing at night, i'll be there clicking away.

I'm actually planning my own 2023 wedding so I know how overwhelming it can be at times trying to fit the jigsaw peices together. So I've really tried to make my client journey straight foward and easy to understand. My one and only package includes a full 10+hr photo coverage, approximetly 600 fully edited photos, online gallery, smoke bomb photography and as many pre wedding consultations as you need.

Of course there are optional extras like a second photographer, highlight film and wedding albums/prints. But the best way to find out if you want me to photograph your wedding is to look through my images on here, my website and instagram! I'm always happy to help so send me a message and ask me some questions!

Absolutely over the moon!

First off all we can say is a massive thank you! Tom’s passion for photography and determination to get the shot is fantastic! Having him apart of our day was 100% the right choice his joy and energy shone through and put both Jamie and I at ease thought it all!
We first met Tom on our engagement shoot, both not really sure what to expect, we needn’t worried, Tom is so professional and easy going, he makes the shoots fun and really bring out the best in people!
We can’t wait to see the rest of the shots you got and cherish them always! We really hope you had as much fun with us as we did with you! Thank you so much Mr and Mrs Salloway x
