I hired Tom to photograph a wedding on very short notice and I'm so lucky I found him. Tom was outstanding in every way! He was professional, artistic and very reasonably priced. The photographs he took were so beautiful and captured all the special moments of the day. His demeanor was so kind and friendly and everyone loved working with him. I would definitely hire Tom again!

Tom is a true professional. Great at laying out a plan and creating a relaxed atmosphere during a high anxiety time. He is great with people and kids too. 5 stars.

Tom was so patient with everyone, teenagers and sick toddlers, such a wonderful experience. Beautiful spots in our yard and garden, and capturing the special moments

Tom did a wonderful job as our photographer. He made us at ease and guided us well through the day. You can tell he is a pro. He did a great job capturing so many fun and poignant candid shots. We love our wedding photos!

I contacted Tom last minute for a surprise proposal photo shoot for my now fiancée. Not only was he able to accommodate my last minute request, he was super helpful with giving me advice on the location and process. We were traveling from a different state and I was unfamiliar with Seattle and the area. Without Tom I could not have made this proposal as special and meaningful as it was. 5 stars across the board from price, to professionalism, to experience and quality. Highly recommend. Thank you again for everything

Tom did an amazing job photographing our proposal! I had no idea he was there for us until my now fiancé pointed him out after we had our moment, which Tom captured perfectly.

He was professional and friendly during our session, he directed us very well and we enjoyed chatting with him too!

His turnaround was incredibly quick - the proposal was on a Thursday and he had a sneak peek out to us the next day. The full gallery was edited and available for us to share and download by Sunday afternoon!

The pictures turned out amazing, we are so thrilled to have them so we can look back on this special moment for years to come.

My fiancé did all the coordination obviously, but he said Tom was incredibly responsive and helpful during the planning process. His guidance led my fiancé to pivot locations and it worked out wonderfully.

If you are looking for someone experienced, pleasant, talented, and efficient to capture your special memories, Tom is your guy!

For a spontaneous trip from Colorado to Seattle, I wanted to surprise my now fiancée with a proposal. Knowing I needed to capture this moment perfectly, I discovered Tom Ellis Photography. His portfolio of surprise proposals on his website assured me he was the ideal photographer for the occasion.

Since everything was a surprise, I had to quickly coordinate with Tom via calls and texts. He provided invaluable recommendations for the gardens where I planned to propose, suggesting meeting spots and how he could discreetly capture the moment by blending in as a tourist. His guidance made the entire process effortless.

After she said yes, Tom spent ample time with us in the gardens, capturing stunning engagement photos that we could immediately share with our loved ones. Coming from Colorado, I wasn't sure what to expect, but now I confidently recommend Tom Ellis to anyone seeking a Seattle photographer for proposals, engagements, and weddings. His expertise and professionalism exceeded all expectations.

I am the future bride to be, Tom took my engagement photos (and the best part, allll of it was a surprise). My now Fiancé was able to coordinate with Tom for the big question (Mind you this was VERY last minute impromptu weekend trip to Seattle)- and I could not have felt more comfortable and asked for better photos! He was able to capture the moment perfectly. I get all happy inside when I think about the experience and how lovely Tom was through the whole process! He is so friendly and provides the best direction for poses. I cannot recommend Tom enough, I guarantee you will be in good hands as I was OH and his turn around for photos, so fast! I was able to post by the time I was home :)

We happened across Tom’s site when searching for a photographer to capture a once-in-a-lifetime surprise proposal. My son was planning to propose during a spontaneous trip to Seattle. Given they would be flying in from CO, finding someone skilled at capturing the special moment was crucial for them since they wouldn't have friends or family present.

Tom was the perfect choice! He sorted out all the details through a brief phone call and text messages, offering insights about the area and coordinating everything behind the scenes to maintain the surprise. Post-proposal, he skillfully captured beautiful engagement photos of the couple in the gardens. Everything unfolded seamlessly, and the photos are truly stunning.

I highly recommend Tom Ellis Photography for proposal, engagement, and wedding photography! Tom is personable, flexible, creative, professional, and an exceptional photographer!

I had contacted Tom just a few days before I had planned to propose to my girlfriend, and he was able to help me thru it all. He was extremely helpful and discreet. He even pretended to be a fellow nature photographer so as to not give himself away. Afterwards he had great ideas for photos. Highly recommend!!
