Wedding photography was the number one task on our list of priorities. We took the time to browse many websites and interview multiple photographers before selecting Tom for our wedding photography needs. After our initial meeting, I kept in touch with Tom, sending him requests, questions, our travel itineraries, and gave him an overview of the events to come. On our big day, he showed up early to scout the area and at the end of the night he stayed as long as needed to get the job done. Tom was kind enough to check in one last time with us at the reception and congratulate us once more as we danced on our night away.

Tom is extremely professional, respectful, and fun to work with. We purchased his top photography package. Although it was the most expensive package, it was well worth every penny. For what we received, it was a great best deal and it included everything we wanted for our friends and family. We bought additional prints even on top of that because the photos were so perfect. His shooting style is low-key but the images are spectacular.

I couldn't have imagined more beautiful images than the ones Tom took of our wedding and for our engagement shoot. Beyond pretty pictures, Tom's work conveys heart-felt emotions, feelings, and milestone moments. I am usually quite shy in front of a camera so I was blown away by many of the images Tom captured.

Trust in Tom and just have fun. It will be apparent in your wedding photos and wedding album. I highly recommend Tom for your photography needs.

My wife and I held a small wedding during the pandemic and Tom was truly understanding of our needs. He was extremely thorough in his timeline of what he wanted to capture during our special day. He really knew both the venue and where the best shots were. After our wedding, he invited us to his studio where he walked us through all the different options of customizing a wedding photo album. In the end, we could not have been more thrilled with the end result.

Tom was incredible to work with! He really listened to what we wanted and seemed genuinely interested in us as a couple. During our wedding he hardly stopped moving, he was professional but warm and made us and our guests so comfortable! I would recommend Tom for any special event and hope to work with him again in the future

My (now) wife and I were in a Starbucks last year and overheard Tom showing some of his photography to potential clients... we got his contact info and ended up hiring his services for our wedding. Tom has been fantastic to work with and we are thrilled at the quality of both our engagement and wedding photos. Tom goes the extra mile in connecting with you as a couple, getting to know you so that he can take the right type of shots that will bring the photos life. He has been amazing to work with, months before the wedding and months after. We have already gotten feedback at how great our photos turned out. Highly recommend Tom and his photography... thanks Tom for capturing our greatest memories yet!

A must-hire! Guaranteed quality and professionalism. Absolutely the best photographer we've met and worked with.

I read hundreds of reviews and called two dozen photographers. We met about 6 other photographers before deciding on Tom Chen Photography. After all that research, Tom made the strongest impression on us. My parents were also at our initial meeting and we all agreed that Tom was the most experienced at his craft and gave us the confidence that he could capture more than just "photos" for our wedding day. Tip for you if you're looking for a photographer: Skip the research and save yourself hours and hours of searching online and making phone calls -- just book Tom now.

We were blown away when we received his art. Every photo reminded us of a special moment from our wedding. Our family and friends are loving it all.

In addition to Tom being very personable, he also carries himself in a professional manner. In particular, we both appreciated his insights and suggestions on certain aspects of the events that made the entire wedding go smoother. We thought we knew exactly what we wanted, but with Tom's counsel, the end results was far beyond our expectations. We really enjoyed the process of making our choices with his guidance, and the end results have always been spectacular.

We wholeheartedly recommend Tom Chen Photography.

My wife and I found Tom over on Yelp and he photographed our wedding in July of this year. Tom did an excellent job and took care of everything we could have asked for, from navigating our venue and getting the best shots, to building our album and putting together highlights for us to easily share with our friends. He was very straightforward and easy to work with, and his passion for getting great pictures to help us make memories was apparent from our very first meeting. We highly recommend him, especially if you're like us and are looking for someone who can guide you through getting the most out of your wedding photos!

Tom photographed our wedding in May at Hakone Gardens in Saratoga. He was super easy to work with. He is very professional and knowledgeable about how to get the best shots. The photographs turned out beautiful! He is a perfectionist, making sure that everyone in the picture was posed in just the right way to capture the moment. He was easy to communicate with, and very flexible with scheduling. We actually live in Southern California, so scheduling was done very meticulously! Tom is a wonderful photographer!

Tom photographed my wedding earlier this year.

Tom was very professional and knowledgeable in communication. We always received prompt replies. Tom had a clear idea of what needed to be done at each stage of our wedding planning. He was timely and took initiative following up closer to our wedding to narrow down.follow-ups closer to our wedding to narrow down on plans to make the most of our big day.

Tom was thoughtful in understanding what was important to us for our wedding and photos. My wife and I weren't a couple who came in with a strong idea of what we were looking for and wanted. Tom was very patient and helpful in making us understand our options and tradeoffs in understanding what photos we would prioritize and the amount of time we would spend in different locations.

My wife and I received several comments from our guest who wondered if Tom was a friend to us because we connected so well and he worked so well with our guests for photos.

We were delighted with the photos which Tom took and are very glad we entrusted our precious moments to him. We'd highly recommend Tom to anyone looking for a photographer for their wedding.

Tom is wonderful. When my husband and I first met Tom a year ago, we knew he was going to be our wedding photographer within minutes of meeting him. During the year of wedding planning, we changed our venue and expanded our guest list from 100 to 500 and throughout it all, Tom was a balm to my nerves. Always calm and optimistic that regardless of where and how, our pictures were going to be beautiful. On the day of the wedding it was straight chaos and I honestly had a mini melt down. Tom and my husband dragged me away from the madness to a secluded corner of tranquility and as he was taking his pictures of us, we were in our on blissful world. Thank you Tom for giving us that moment! We recently received our pictures and my husband and I are so in awe with Tom's talent. He gave light when there was none. He was able to capture the smallest naunces of expression and his pictures were perfect. We wanted him to capture more candid photos since we knew we wouldn't be able to enjoy everyone's enjoyment and he did. Looking at our pictures transported us back to our wedding day surrounded by so much love and laughter. We are so appreciative of Tom and lucky to have shared our day with him.

If you're looking for a photographer who has amazing vision, storytelling ability, and is also kind and compassionate - Tom is that guy! From the moment that I first emailed him to inquire about an engagement photo shoot, he was timely and professional. I showed him what our general thoughts were for the shoot and he was able to capture every moment so beautifully. We did our photo shoot at Mt. Davidson and at AT&T park. He was able to get AMAZING pictures in the 3 hours we were scheduled for.

My fiancé and I have zero idea when it comes to posing, but Tom took his time and directed us (and the dog). Even though we were joking throughout the entire shoot, he was great about getting the shots that were emotional and fun.

On top of everything else, I love that he has a great appreciation with prints and colors! And although he cares deeply about this, he doesn't push you to buy more or go out of your budget. He caters his packages to what each couple wants, and his prices are reasonable for the work that he provides. The pictures that are taken get sent to his team in Italy, are carefully crafted and printed.

We ordered a book that includes 30 pictures from the shoot and we were able to change around the layout before printing. When the book was received, he checked to make sure that everything is perfect before setting up a meeting with him for delivery.

Tom is passionate about his work and it definitely shows. I can't say enough how much we appreciate him and the work he's done. We love him so much we're planning to have him shoot our wedding! Looking forward to looking forward to working with him again!
