Congratulations on your upcoming wedding! Now you have a lot of decisions to make about who will help you make your wedding day both memorable and enjoyable. The person you choose to photograph your wedding can have a major impact in both regards. You need a photographer who is not only able to give you high quality photos, but can also help you to create photos in a way that enhances the joy of the event. Your wedding day is supposed to be FUN, and you need a photographer who recognizes that. Remember that you will be spending virtually your entire wedding day with your photographer, so it is important to find someone whose personality meshes well with your own.

"My wife and I couldn't have been happier with Tom. During our first visit with him, he talked to us about the timetable for our wedding. We initially wanted to do pictures after the ceremony/before the reception so I could wait to see the bride. I couldn’t be more thankful that he talked us out of that! We would have missed most of our own reception had we done pictures then, and he still got great pictures of my reaction to seeing my wife.

The morning after the wedding, Tom sent my father-in-law 6 jpegs of the best photos so we could print them and have them displayed at our brunch. We got proofs of all our photos within a couple weeks of the wedding. When we decided which ones we wanted enlarged, he got those back to us immediately. We have friends who took over a year to get their photos back.

The quality of the pictures was unbelievable. The colors of the sky and water behind us are so amazing that most people ask if we took the pictures in front of a backdrop or screen.

During the reception, Tom wanted to take us outdoors to get pictures with the sunset. At the time we didn't want to leave, but Tom was insistent. I was glad he was so persistent because his timing was perfect and they turned out to be some of the best pictures we had.

We couldn't have been happier with Tom. He listened to what we wanted, and most of all, used his experience and professionalism to make sure everything worked and to make sure that we got shots that he knew we would love. He always responded back to us quickly after the wedding when we had any questions or needed anything. I would recommend Tom Ellis Photography to anyone who was looking for a photographer."

I have been photographing weddings since 1980. In that time I have shot hundreds of weddings, under a huge variety of situations. I feel that my job is not just to take pictures, but to do whatever I can to lower the stress level so you can simply enjoy your day. My goal is to not only take the best photos that I am capable of, but to do so in such a way that the photos are enjoyable, not simply a necessary ordeal.

I can take your wedding photos using either Film cameras or Digital cameras. I use top end professional equipment for either film or digital photography, so the choice is yours to make. There are advantages to either format, so if you're uncertain what would be best for you please contact me and we can discuss your particular photography needs. Click on the links below to see the packages I offer for both formats.

"Tom was really professional, and fun to work with! His photos came out beautifully, and he rolled with our time schedule without a moment's hesitation. He was courteous and non-invasive. I highly recommend him!"
