About

You have a lot of choices when it comes to wedding photography. I know that looking at ads, websites, and all the other sources of information can be overwhelming. So why choose me to be your photographer? I try to keep your choices simple and your costs reasonable. If you call me, I'll answer and if you send me email, I'll answer that too. I won't try to sell you more than you really want, but can offer you all the things you'd like - engagement session, photo CD, proof book, and digital albums. And your gallery will be online in days not weeks. I'll be there for you before, during, and long after your wedding's over if there's anything you need.

The receptions and parties, even honeymoons, are over all too soon, and memories fade. Relive your wedding day any time you like and keep those moments alive forever. Call or email me soon to check your date availability.

Wonderful experience!

My husband and I were fortunate to have Tom take our engagement photos in October 2020 and our wedding photos this past June 2021! Tom could not have been more laid back, flexible, patient, or easy to work with. He is also extremely reasonably priced for the amount of time he offers and the number of photos he takes. He captured the immense joy and happiness of our wedding day from start to finish. We've received many compliments on our photos, specifically on how well Tom captured our love for each other, our families, and our friends. We highly recommend Tom!!

An Absolute Pleasure To Work With

Tom was so fun to work with for our wedding. We met him for our engagement photos over 2 years before our wedding (thanks COVID), and throughout the years he was still checking in on us, making sure all our questions were answered prior to our big day. On the wedding day, Tom was fun, easy to work with, and made me (the bride) laugh even when I was stressed. He indulged my requests for silly angles and strange requests. We cannot recommend Tom highly enough. It was a privilege to have him at our wedding.

Tom is a great photographer!

Tom is genuinely such an amazing person to work with. We had such a great day with him on our wedding day. We had a very windy wedding day and Tom literally ran after my veil after it flew off my head and almost went into the creek (even took a picture of it where it landed :) ). He truly went above and beyond and even did a late night session with my husband and I which turned out beautifully. Working with him was a great decision and it's really refreshing to work with someone who truly loves his art and cares a lot about making your pictures the best he can. Thank you so much Tom!!

Great Value, Great Pictures

My husband and I really enjoyed having Tom share in our special day in June. We enjoyed his company very much and Tom was willing to go above and beyond to get the right shot at the right angle for us. He literally walked through fire and ice for us as out engagement shoot was outdoors in February and our wedding was outdoors on a 90 degree morning! Tom Nicol photography also offers great value for great pictures; many other photography services offer a set amount of time at a set price, then require you to purchase additional time and add ons (thumb drives, photo books, etc.) ala carte which can add up quickly. For a reasonable price, we got GORGEOUS pictures of both an engagement shoot and our wedding, a photo book, online gallery with printing rights and a thumb drive. I am really looking forward to working with Tom in the future for other memorable occasions.

Tom is the best!

Tom was amazing to work with! He went above and beyond in every way. We are so grateful he is who we chose for our photographs. Our wedding day was super rainy and cold, and he was still able to make our photographs beautiful works of art that we know we will cherish forever. We love them and have gotten amazing commentary from everyone we have shown our photos to! You will not regret working with Tom!!

Blown away!!

Tom did an AMAZING job as the photographer for my wedding a few weeks ago. Several people at the wedding commented on how he "did not miss a beat" and that definitely shows in the pictures... he really did capture everything. He is very personable, kind and takes his work seriously. It was a pleasure to work with him and I can't recommend him enough.
