About

I have always been interested in the art of photography. My father was in the Air Force most of my young life and I remember traveling throughout Europe in a bright orange Volkswagen bus in 1976 with my family. We didn't really have the money to stay in hotels so we camped our way through Germany, France, Italy, etc. Through every trip my father, a History major and teacher, never put down his camera. I remember every camera he had from the tiny Rollei, his Zeiss and most recently his Canon AE-1. We have a treasure trove of slides from those days. I was always more interested in the emotion that a photograph evoked. The photos my father took while we visited Dachau concentration camp in Germany still touch me 30 years later. I guess that is why photography is so important to me. I am humbled by the responsibility to capture time. Whether it is a part of history or a bride’s big day. I will never stop loving the art. My desire to capture emotion is far greater than my desire to take a picture. The term "photojournalism" means to tell a story with photographs, and truly, there is no other way to describe my approach. I would much rather be a “fly on the wall” and capture every event and emotion as it naturally happens than attempt to stage poses.

The Right Choice

What an amazing photographer, and person! We knew Tom was the right guy before meeting him, and became instant friends at the consult. He shot our engagement photos, then nearly a year later, he and Andy orchestrated a captivating timeline of beautiful moments that we will cherish forever from our wedding at Baywood Greens Clubhouse. Thank you Tom and Andy, for your professionalism, and personal touch, on a day that we will never forget!

Gratefully,

Eddie & Angi

Tom and his work are incredible. I cannot even put into words how thrilled my husband and I are with our with our experience with him. From the first contact Tom was super quick to respond to all of the questions we had and this continued throughout our engagement and wedding sessions. His pricing is amazing- you absolutely get more than your money’s worth! Our engagement pictures are phenomenal and more than we could’ve hoped for and they were included in our package! My husband and I had an absolute blast with Tom at our wedding- he made the entire process fun and enjoyable! Even better, we have so many amazing photos we are having a really difficult time choosing our favorites, which is an awesome problem to have. Brides: all of those tiny details you’re obsessing over for your ceremony and reception- Tom will capture those too! He really thinks of everything. Seriously, call him now! We loved our entire experience and you will too.

Where do we start. We had a blast with tom and his second shooter Andy. They caught some of the most amazing candid photos throughout the night. Looking through our photos, we were able to relive the night all over again! It was raining all day and night of our wedding and they managed to get amazing photos outside despite that! We are so happy with our choice of photographer! If you want experienced, fun photographers, go with Thomas Lunt photography!

My sister-in-law hired Tom as her wedding photographer almost 8 years ago. I saw all of her beautiful wedding photos displayed in my in-laws house while I was dating my husband. When we got engaged, I knew who we had to hire as our wedding photographer!

Tom is absolutely worth every penny. He is very responsive and easy to work with. We had so much fun taking pictures with Tom and Andy on our wedding day. He even posted several photos on Facebook about an hour after our reception ended! It was great to have pictures to show my family and friends the morning after our wedding. Then, he posted about 150 preview pictures the next day. They were all beautiful. He did a great job of capturing our emotions that day as well as the emotions and expressions of our family and friends.

Tom even took time to talk to my husband about the best quality prints and ways to display them in our home. He sent my husband a few full resolution photos early so my husband could surprise me with some blown up shots for Christmas.

I would recommend Tom in a heartbeat - he is an amazing photographer!

My husband and I were married in August and hired Thomas Lunt as our photographer for engagement and wedding pictures. He was absolutely wonderful. At no point in time did we feel uncomfortable getting our pictures taken. He is extremely personable and very easy to talk to. He had some really great suggestions for our pictures and also listened to what we wanted out of our sessions.

Tom was also very quick to respond to any questions/concerns. There was no point in time where we struggled to get a hold of him which was such relief considering how busy things become when planning a wedding.

His professionalism and talent are shown through his work. Our pictures were beautiful, and Tom absolutely captured the happiness and joy we both felt during our wedding day.

I can't say enough great things about Thomas. We first met him at a friends wedding, he was both their photographer and family friend. We quickly made friends with him and his significant other - they were so much fun!
Fast forward 2 years later, it was our turn to get married, Thomas was our first thought. He worked with us on price and man is he worth every penny.
On our wedding day, the weather tried it's best to defeat us. Thomas was such a good sport running in and out as the rain started and stopped. We found fun ways to take pictures and Thomas was sooooo go with the flow that it made us calm. Come time for the ceremony, the rain holds off, his shots were amazing! He was there for a full 8 hours getting every shot requested. It was a serious work out for him! :)
By the time our wedding was over, Thomas had already posted 5 sneak peek shots on Facebook. When does that ever happen!? And they were perfect. He captured Chris and I's personalities perfectly. He made it fun. And he worked with us not for us which was important.

I would recommend him in a heart beat! :)

My husband and I could not recommend Tom more highly. We are so pleased with our photographs. Tom and his second photographer Andy were very professional and made everything easy and relaxed. I love that they captured our whole day and not just posed photos; they captured our memories. We could not be happier! And, we loved that we got our pictures while we were still on our honeymoon! So fast!

My fiancé, Janice, and I met with Tom at his house last year and he made us feel very comfortable. We quickly discovered that Tom needs to feel a connection with the couples he photographs. We were blessed to find Tom and for him to feel that connection with us. But Janice and I also realized that we should adopt the same philosophy with all of our vendors... We must feel a connection with all of them so we could have the most memorable wedding celebration. In that initial meeting with Tom, he presented everything to us in a professional, friendly and laid back manner. A couple of months later, Tom captured our engagement at Swarthmore College and that experience made us realize that we selected the right Photographer. Those photos were incredible and captured our love story. Our wedding was on June 28, 2015. Tom and his second shooter (Andy) did such an incredibly beautiful and thorough job at capturing every special moment of our wedding. Tom was so amazing to work with. Our connection with Tom truly enhanced the high energy of our wedding celebration. Our photos were delivered to us in record time and we will cherish them for a lifetime. We could not be more happy with how our wedding photos turned out! Thank you Tom!!

We were referred to Tom by our venue. As soon as we met him, we knew he was the perfect fit for our wedding! We were instantly drawn to his charismatic personality and his fantastic work. He was wonderful work with. He took time to meet with us, get to know us, and find out what we were looking for. From the moment we met until the day we received our pictures, he communicated with us and kept us updated. He was friendly and professional at the same time. We received many complements about how wonderful our photographer for our wedding was! Our pictures are timeless and truly tell the story of our wedding day. We couldn't have asked for more! We look forward to working with Tom again in the future!

I should really start my feedback with the fact that I did not have the opportunity to meet Thomas until my engagement shoot and I was FLOORED by how amazing he was. Living in upstate New York at the time, I was not around very often and actually had a terrible experience with my previous photographer deciding she didn't want to photograph my wedding any longer since it was Thanksgiving weekend. I was devastated at the time but then Thomas came in and saved the day! I am so thankful we met him and had him instead.

Thomas was fast and reliable with responses, accommodating to my schedule, and super attentive to my requests/needs. He was friendly with everyone (from my parents to guests) and made everyone as comfortable as possible. Having so many pictures taken of you and having to smile for so long is usually awkward but Thomas made it a breeze!

There were a few factors aside from his awesome personality that won us over. First was that he was reasonable. Thomas gives great quality work and lends fantastic artistic ability but does not take advantage of the extremely high prices everyone charges for weddings as soon as they hear about the white dress. He understands budgets and understands that you may want to print somewhere else. He is happy to do so for you, but always gives you the option for other choices.
His turn around rate is also incredible. After our engagement shoot my husband, Chad, and I were grabbing a drink at a local pub and less then an hour into us being away from him, preview pictures were being posted! We also had a great amount available with in 24 hours of our wedding to share and look at before we left for the honeymoon. The rest of the pictures came within in a few weeks and I was given SO many options it was incredible.

Needless to say, we highly recommended Thomas. He has become a great friend over the last two years and we look forward to using him for future events!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Thomas did such a great job and you could see he had such an amazing relationship with the bride and groom! He had previously photographed the brides sisters wedding and also their now family portraits, so you could see that he was such a great fit for this couple! Their pictures were amazing, and he took the time to get all of the brides requested photos. It was so nice to see a photographer work under the radar instead of being in the face of the couple the entire time. Did I mention how personable and funny he was? He made for a fun evening for both the couple and the vendors!
