We used Marc for our engagement photos as well as our wedding photos. He was great to work with and our pictures turned out amazingly! I am not someone who is comfortable with my picture being taken and he made my husband and I both feel at ease the entire time.

Tom O'neal is the most amazing photographer! We were so excited to have him shoot our wedding on October 17, 2015. Words cannot express our gratitude and appreciation to have Tom O'neal as our photographer. His photography is remarkable! Tom is so much fun to work with! He made us feel so special and relaxed. Tom's fun loving personally shows how much he loves what he does. Every picture Tom took on our wedding day was absolutely beautiful! If you want to capture your special day in the most amazing way call TGO Photography!! We cannot recommend them enough. Wonderful people! Outstanding photography! Thank you again, Tom, Mollie and everyone at TGO! We are forever grateful.

Tom is great! A talented photographer, but also a lot of fun. He was able to do the post ceremony photography quickly, so we didn't miss a lot of the fun. Even though he was fast, he captured many special and unique shots throughout the night that gave us great photographs for framing. Highly recommended!

Everyone at TGO was so nice and great. They listened to us when we described what we wanted for our photographer, they helped us stay within our budget yet get all the things we wanted, and they were just awesome to work with!

We were extremely fortunate to have Tom O'Neal photograph our daughter's recent wedding. I wish there were more stars to use in rating photographers! Tom and his assistant, Emily, were absolutely amazing. They don't take photos, they capture moments and energy and emotions. Their enthusiasm was contagious and spread through the guests and wedding party! The shots he got that I was able to view on his camera as he worked literally took my breath away. I can't wait to see the rest!

When the wedding is over, and all the excitement has died down, what you have left are the photographs and the memories. We decided that choosing the photographer was one of the most important decisions to make in planning the wedding. I can't imagine a better choice. Once in awhile, you are able to sense that you are in the presence of someone very special. I got that feeling from the moment I met Tom and Mollie.

This is the highest review I have ever written - and it is 100% heartfelt!

Tom is absolutely wonderful. He was our photographer for our wedding at The Santa Lucia Preserve in Carmel. He is warm, friendly and professional and instantly became a hit among our family and friends. Tom came to our rehearsal and even our welcome party, all on his own accord, so he could get to know us and our guests better. He has amazing energy and love for what he does. His photos are beautiful and original and he knows how to take advantage of and highlight the natural beauty of the region. We are so glad we had Tom and Mollie be such a memorable part of our weekend.

We loved Matt Kelly! His friendliness, professionalism, and experience, combined with his intimate knowledge of Monterey, made him the perfect choice for our wedding photographer. Working with him was delightful, and our photographs are better than we could have imagined. FIVE STARS for sure, for Matt. The only reason for 4 stars for "Responsiveness" was the delay when we were emailing back and forth with the company. We didn't always feel like we were being heard, or even that our emails had been received because of the amount of time it took to get a response. But we loved Matt and it was totally worth it!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
