Tom is a 10/10!

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!

Best Decision!

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.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Not only does Tom bring a grounded presence to a wedding day as a photographer, but he is one heck of a nice guy ~ which is an amazing mix for a wedding photographer. I was at a wedding with Tom a few weeks ago and under the pressure and tension of a wedding, you can really "see" what's true. And here is what's true about Tom: He has a smart eye for detail, his images/photos are outstanding, he possesses a great sense of humor and couples absolutely love him!
