Tom was amazing from start to finish. We found him through looking at other wedding photos taken at our venue and loved his style and artistry. He does a great job catching candid moments and creating beautifully dramatic and creative portraits. He was super responsive and answered every question we asked (which was a lot). He made us feel comfortable behind a camera even though we initially felt awkward and unfamiliar.
He really takes the time to talk things through and has great questionnaires to make sure his services are tailored to the couple. He was always on time and we got our wedding photos back quickly! Would definitely recommend him. We will love our wedding photos forever!

Tom and his team were amazing to work with. We met Tom via phone in the begging of the pandemic and already felt at ease that he knew what we wanted. His whole team showed up and were fun and professional. They helped make us feel comfortable and natural in our photos while still giving directions to get the best shots. Not only did we get beautiful photos, but we also got an amazing video. We would suggest Tom time and time again.

My husband and I were truly so glad to have worked with Tom. Our photos turned out beautifully! It had rained and we were also generally behind schedule having a rough morning, but he still managed to get us outside for many beautiful shots and get us back on track!

We were looking for a photographer that would provide us with amazing wedding photos that will last a lifetime. It was important to find a professional that used an artistic flair to capture our big day. When we met Tom on a video call, we could tell he takes his profession seriously. We had an engagement session where we met Tom for the first time and we were happy to work with him. He took our ideas into consideration and took great shots.
On our wedding day, Tom made sure he captured us both candidly and posed. When we promptly got our photos we were blown away, they were incredible. What was one day in our lives will be cherished forever thanks to Tom's look through his viewfinder. Throughout the entire process Tom was a pleasure to work with. His prices and process was completely transparent. He was prompt with his timelines and on the dates we had our pictures taken. We recommend Tom to everyone who needs a photographer.

Folks. Stop looking around and just hire Tom. You won't regret it. We wanted two things from our wedding photographer: 1) a breathtaking special photograph - just one - that we'll cherish and treasure forever, and 2) a bunch of amazing candids to help us remember the best day of our lives. Thanks to Tom, we got much, much more. From two absolutely breathtaking photos unlike any others I've ever seen to hundreds of candids and perfect family shots, he did it all.
And he was willing to hop on a sailboat and climb up into a hay loft in a barn to capture the amazing photos we'll cherish for forever. Plus, he used a drone! And while his photography can speak for itself, we'd be doing you all a disservice if we didn't also tell you about how great he was to work with. From simplifying the contract process to a simple internet form to coordinating a second photographer without us having to worry about a thing, Tom was the best. Professional, responsive, easy to work with, and so, so talented. Book him now - it will be the easiest and best decision you make while planning your wedding.

Choosing Tom as our photographer for our wedding and engagement shoot was definitely one of the best choices we made! Tom's photography style is unique and his photos show beauty in unexpected places. We received so many compliments about our photos and we cannot stop telling our engaged friends about him! He's a pleasure to work with and made us feel comfortable when we did the usually awkward poses for photo shoots. We whole heartedly recommend Tom to anyone looking for a passionate, talented photographer who will tailor the photos to your needs. -Kevin&Nidhi

Tom did photography for our wedding- my husband and I could not be more impressed! First off, he has online tools that make planning and communicating as simple as possible. (That was a big bonus during the chaos of planning!) He is very responsive to questions. The day of the wedding, he was professional, funny, and had a calming effect. He captured so many special candid moments. Some of my favorite pictures were from the dance floor- seeing how couples looked at each other as they danced. Tom brings a unique edge to his photography and is truly an artist.
My husband and I like to fish, and he used his drone to get some amazing one-of-a-kind shots of us in a rowboat. I could go on and on about our positive experience with Tom. Go on his blog and see for yourself. I highly recommend him!

Tom was great at our wedding! He was professional & very responsive throughout the entire process - from the initial inquiry to the day we received our gorgeous photos! I wanted to ensure I had beautiful, professional looking, magazine quality photos for the most important day of our lives, and Tom delivered just that. He had the artistic edge I was looking and my husband and I are so glad we chose him. I did a LOT of research on a wedding photographer, and am 100% happy with my decision to go with Tom Harmon. Book with Tom - you won't regret it! :
