Tom Studios Wedding Photography

Tom and Lexi were an absolutely phenomenal team to work with and we are SO thrilled we went with them for our wedding photography! From day 1 when we were first in communication, they patiently answered all of our questions about how they work and their style. We even got to have a phone call with them where we got to know each other on a more personal level and feel out if our preferences and personalities would jibe well (a step that I totally respect and appreciate!) Tom and Lexi kindly traveled to Ithaca for our engagement photo shoot and even had to adjust to a surprise last-minute location change when the gorge trail we were planning to use was closed (and they ended up taking completely stunning photos in an all-new location they weren’t able to scope out prior!) They make it fun with cute/silly prompts to put you at ease (often demo-ing them themselves, it helps that they’re a couple!) and we genuinely enjoyed the process of our engagement shoot.

Tom & Lexi also gave us really helpful guidance about our wedding day timeline and provided a detailed questionnaire that covered all kinds of info it would never have occurred to me to give some thought to ahead of time, which ended up being really helpful.

On our wedding day, Tom and Lexi were completely professional and provided a super calm-yet-totally-on-the-ball energy while taking all our portraits and group shots. Our photography was definitely the most important vendor to us other than the venue, and we could tell Tom and Lexi totally understand that sentiment. Just like with our engagement shoot, they gave us great direction and kept the atmosphere super light and positive which allowed us to completely soak up the feelings of love through different moments of the day. They also accommodated all specific shot requests we had for certain locations, and also took special care to keep us in the shade for most of our portrait session because it was a super hot/sunny day.

Tom and Lexi are totally in sync and have a super efficient tag team approach – e.g. capturing the same moment like our first look from both a close up perspective and more distinct landscape, or Lexi hanging with the bridal party taking all the detail and fun “getting ready” shots while Tom took lovely photos of the venue getting all set up before the guests arrived, as well as the groom & groomsmen). They provided an enormous gallery of high-quality photos, so many of which I remember the moments but don’t remember a camera being pointed at me which, to me, is ideal – they’re delightfully sneaky! Tom even went out of his way to “create” a shot I wanted to be zoomed out wider by cobbling two different photos together and it came out beautifully. Our wedding album is absolutely gorgeous and something we’ll treasure looking back on for so many decades to come.

Above all, Tom and Lexi are two delightful, easy-going, and wildly talented individuals who together are greater than the sum of their parts, and we feel so incredibly lucky we were able to snag them for our wedding. If you’re thinking about hiring them, don’t wait – do it right now!

Tom and Lexi were wonderful to work with. They were flexible and responsive to our wants and needs throughout the planning process. Getting to have them around on the wedding day was so much fun. They helped us prepare for the family portrait session and when the time came, everything ran smoothly. We even finished all the portraits with time to spare. They gave us ample time to take additional bride and groom couple portraits after the ceremony, which was really special since we had our ceremony at home. They are fun to be around and it felt like we were working with kindred spirits. Not to mention that the photos are absolutely gorgeous. My bridesmaids and I came out looking like goddesses! There are some really lovely candid shots and dance floor photos. I cannot say enough good things about Tom and Lexi.

Tom and Lexi are the best!! They made our special day easy and stress free. They were so organized and positive which allowed for the whole day to be enjoyable! They answered any question we had in a timely manor and the pictures they take are amazing! We would HIGHLY recommend them!
