A fantastic service from start to finish!

We employed Hawaian Shirt Photograpy to document our Wedding. We can't recommend Tom and the team enough.

The initial meeting was really good fun and he totally understood what we were aiming for from the photos and videos. He had some excellent ideas and suggestions that we loved and would never have though of without his expert guidance.

On the day, Tom and his colleague were professional, funny and put us completely at ease. They had fantastic ideas staged shots, and the 'fly on the wall' pictures were spot on.

Afterwards, Tom provided the images and videos promptly and they were all epic! Our guests have raved about the quality and many have asked for his contact details for their weddings.

In our opinion, you wont find a nicer, efficient, professional, accommodating and reasonably priced company than Hawaiian Shirt Photography.

Thank you to Tom and the team for perfectly capturing our special day.

Authentic, heartfelt, and exactly what we wanted!

We had an amazing experience with Tom Hewett from Hawaiian Shirt Photography and Videography for our wedding! Tom delivered exactly what we wanted for our wedding, capturing every perfect moment with a natural and authentic touch.

Tom's style suited us perfectly. He has a knack for catching special, spontaneous moments, allowing us to relive our day just as it happened. Watching our video feels like we're right back in the middle of the celebration.
We wanted a true-to-life representation of our day, and Tom delivered that beautifully. His approach is relaxed and unobtrusive, which was exactly what we needed to feel comfortable and be ourselves. We couldn't be happier with how our video turned out. IThanks, Tom!

Highly Recommend!

Highly recommend!!! We decided to have a videographer a few weeks before our wedding and Tom was very accommodating. Tom was really friendly and blended in great on the day. The videos he produced are stunning and it was a really quick turn around. If you are looking for a videographer look no further!

Excellent Video

We are so pleased with our wedding videos from Hawaiian Shirt Videography. Tom was responsive over email, and professional and efficient on the day. We choose Hawaiian Shirt as we loved his style of videography which focused on seeing everyone having a good time and laughing together. He captured the day as we wanted and we would definitely recommend.

Brilliant wedding review

We used Hawaiian Shirt Photography to capture our wedding ceremony and party. They were perfect. Even though there was only one videographer, they managed to capture many different angles. They also used very discreet cameras, so that they were never in the way or even noticed. The edit managed to capture all the important moments and the atmosphere of the day. Thank you for doing a great job!

Wonderful videography!

We had Tom as our videographer for our wedding and we are so glad we did! He was very professional and captured some amazing candid shots and moments. Always there to help with a video call or at the end of emails/phone calls. Discussed our vision with us and brought it to life on the day. He was happy to make some amends on the videos e.g. ensuring all family members and friends were in there and changing the music we decided to go with a different song in the end.

All round great and we recommend him for anyone looking for a fair priced videographer!

Fantastic experience!

Tom was exactly what he promised-blending into the background whilst capturing every element of our special day! Videos were edited and returned ridiculously quickly; very professional and constant communication throughout. Tom was lovely and made us feel totally at ease!

Amazing experience for our fusion wedding

Tom was amazing. My husband and I both feel like staged posing, being cheesy and romantic on camera is a bit cringe so we wanted something natural and fun, and this is what we got! We had an English/Indian fusion wedding with 2 ceremonies on the same day and we chose Tom because of his experience with all different types of weddings. He is so friendly and approachable and we felt really comfortable with him on the day.

Very friendly and helpful, quick response and a pleasure to have on our day

We first saw Hawaiian shirt photography online and we instantly loved their videos, the way they captured the day in a natural, fun way! We immediately asked for a quote and booked a consultation, to which we went ahead and booked. Leading up to the wedding we had a phone call with Tom, he was very helpful and answered all our questions. On the day Tom was the first one to greet me and my bridal party. He was super friendly. As our day begun, we were so busy taking to our guests or posing for the photographer, that Tom was able to capture all the natural moments of our day without us really knowing. Once our day had finished, we couldn’t wait to see our wedding video. We didn’t have to wait too long as Tom was very quick at getting the edited version sent to us and it was so perfect! We absolutely loved it and have watched a good few times. We also had a highlight video that we shared with family and friends and everyone has complimented it and said how great everything looked. We cannot thank Tom at Hawaiian shirt photography enough, we are so glad we picked the best man for the job! We would highly recommend!

A fantastic videographer!

Tom from Hawaiian Shirt Photography was a fantastic videographer!
From various wedding forums, I had read that having a video to remember the day is one of the things people cherish the most after the wedding day, and they are right!
Tom has created a beautiful highlights video and an hour long video of the day for us and they are absolutely fantastic! Tom very very kind and funny throughout the day and captured some lovely moments between myself and my groom, and of all of our guests. Everyone loves the video and I never get tired of watching my highlight video and seeing just how happy everyone was on our special day. I cannot recommend Tom enough and I am so thankful for the lovely videos he created!

A non-intimidating, thoughtful and talented photographer

We're SO pleased with our wedding photos, we had a micro-covid wedding of just 12 people, so it was important to us that the photos captured the intimate, love that our wedding had. Tom got this spot on and we're blown away by the photos - they are informal but beautiful and every guest looks comfortable, at ease and un-posed. Tom was great on the day too, he was polite and most of the time we weren't even aware he was there or taking photos! He also didn't mind my last minute requests for different poses or backgrounds. Couldn't be happier - thank you :)

Amazing Photographer

After a massive search, we finally found Tom and made such a great choice in choosing him to capture our special day.

Not only did the Hawaiian shirt help to keep guests engaged, Tom managed to get a bounty of spectacular photos of our day, which really matched the vibe we were after.

Communication and flexibility was great and we had a super quick turnaround on the final photos which came out really well .

Definitely recommend, thanks again Tom!

Incredible Video Results

The videos Tom produced were absolutely sensational, we cried multiple times whilst watching back our highlight video and our full video. The quality is stunning and the shots Tom managed to get were incredible. Tom put us both at ease, very chilled and easy going guy, we are so grateful Tom did our videography and have these stunning memories to look back on forever. The turn around was also impressively fast!

Thank you Tom for capturing all the details and the special moments.
