    Tommy is Incredible!

    We love Tommy! He photographed our proposal, our engagement, and our wedding, and we love all of our photos so much. Tommy is obviously a great photographer, but what makes him so lovely to work with is that he's just a genuine, funny, and fun person. After our wedding, we got multiple compliments from our wedding guests and our vendors about Tommy. He charges an incredibly reasonable price for his wedding photography package and he's with you for the entire day as opposed to a set amount of hours, which I didn't find with any other photographers. If you're looking for a photographer who's laid back, will make you laugh, and will take incredible pictures, choose Tommy!

    Excellent Photographer for our Boulder CO Wedding

    I cannot speak highly enough of Tommy and his team. They did the photography for my daughter and son in laws wedding in Boulder on 9/5/21. While we have not seen all the photos yet we know what to expect after the gorgeous engagement pictures Tommy took in Rocky Mountain National Park. On the day of, Tommy and his assistant followed our schedule as we had asked and they were professional at every turn. Tommy's calm amidst the last minute details was reassuring to us as well. My daughter and son in law loved that he was "chill" and saw their wedding vision clearly. If you want a photographer who clearly enjoys his work and wants to make the bridal couple happy with photos for a lifetime, use T5 Photography. You will not be disappointed.

    Best. Photographer. Ever.

    Tommy was absolutely incredible to work with! My husband and I HIGHLY recommend. He really takes the time to know couples before the big day and it shows. I'm super camera shy and Tommy made it easy and comfortable. All of our guests continue to rave about how awesome our photographer was. Plus, his photos speak for themselves.

    Talented Photographer with attention to detail

    We were so happy to have found Tommy for our engagement pictures and even happier when it worked out that he could also photograph our wedding. Tommy was so easy to get along with from the first day we met and his attention to detail really shows in the pictures. Not only is Tommy a talented photographer, he's just a good person and fun to be around! We loved the photos and we were grateful for the opportunity to have made a new friend in the process.

    Choose this photographer!

    We are so happy we chose T5 as our wedding photographer. I can't recommend Tommy enough, we are so happy with how our photos turned out!

    We chose a venue with a spectacular view, so we knew we wanted to get a really good photographer to capture it. Our venue gave us a list of photographers they recommended and we had it narrowed down to two, based on looking at their portfolios. We decided on Tommy after meeting with him in person - he was just fun to be around and the way he spoke about his job made it sound like he was not only very good at it, but really enjoyed it too.

    Tommy did our engagement photos last October 2018 and made it so easy for us to look good on camera! My now-husband isn't good at smiling for posed photos, but Tommy gave us natural-feeling poses and made us laugh with each other, which made for great photos that didn't feel posed.

    Our wedding was exactly the same when it came to our couple photos and our bridal party photos. You can just feel by looking at them how much fun we were having! During our ceremony I didn't even notice he was there, but he got some really great shots. It was cold and windy outside and he got us through our family photos really efficiently. All of our guests loved working with him during the cocktail hour and reception as well.

    Horseshoe Bend Wedding 4.16.19

    Simply put, Book Tommy as your engagement and wedding photographer. I cannot say enough good things about our experience with Tommy. It all started in 2018 when I got engaged. My husband and I had planned a trip to Colorado (we are from NY) prior to getting engaged and decided it would be a great place to have our engagement session done. After looking at several photographers in Colorado I was looking at Tommy's website and as I clicked through the various blog posts of different couples and tears came to my eyes. Tommy's photos are simply beautiful. You can see the love in his photos and its overwhelming to see. The story that his pictures told moved me in such a way I knew that he was our guy. In June of 2018 Tommy picked us up at our hotel and drove us to the Great Sand Dunes at 4am to get the best engagement photos. He spent hours upon hours with us that day. We were over the moon about our photos. Fast forward to April 16th, 2019 we were happy to be getting married at Horseshoe Bend in Page, AZ. Tommy was stoked to be joining us. Tommy became such a part of our lives over a year that he even stayed with us the night before our wedding. He's seriously such a cool guy! It's hard to sum up our wedding day because the photos and work that Tommy put into that day for us was so expansive words don't do it justice. I will say that Tommy was by far the number one best decision I made for my wedding (other than my groom of course). Your wedding day goes so fast! When I recieved my wedding photos there were moments that were captured that I didn't even remember. It's amazing to relive that day every time I look at them. All those feelings that I felt about Tommy's photography when I came across him online were all the feels I got from my own photos. Tommy is hands down the right way to go. We are so happy to consider him one of our friends! Also, I can't tell you how many people have stopped me and told me that my wedding photos are THE MOST beautiful wedding photos they have ever seen. Some people have even told me that they can't get married now because they will never be able to have as amazing pictures as we did. To that I simply say, just book Tommy.

    Tommy was our first and easiest hire for our wedding. The whole process of selecting a photographer was a little intimidating at first because we didn't know exactly what we were looking for or how to even describe it. T5 was on a preferred vendor list at our venue, which is where I started our initial search. Right off the bat, we felt super comfortable with Tommy, regardless of the fact that we technically met through FacetTime because we were planning a destination wedding. Tommy new the questions to ask that helped him understand what we were looking for AND had a killer portfolio. A lot of photographers have a distinct "look" in their portfolio (high saturation, black/white, what I call the "rustic glow" etc.) What we loved about Tommy was that his portfolio shows he has a lot of range and will use whatever is best for the individual photo-- we instantly trusted his taste and you can tell he has fun with his work. Throughout the planning process he was super easy going and had great suggestions along the way we hadn't really even thought of.

    However, the day-of is where Tommy really shines. We also hired a second shooter and were lucky enough to be paired with Jo. Tommy had the vision and Jo worked her butt off to help complete it. I also appreciated Tommy's communication style-- I am not the type who enjoys pictures being taken and felt pretty awkward most of the time. Tommy was able to communicate what he was going for and made me feel more at-ease. Most importantly, he made sure everyone was having an awesome time while he was around. I got SO many compliments on Tommy and Jo throughout the day. My husband and I were able to sneak away for some sunset photos, which I'm SO glad we did because it gave us some extra time together to enjoy each other and have a bit of fun up on the pass.

    If you are looking forward for someone professional, fun, and willing to do whatever it takes to get the shot, then Tommy is your guy.

    Tommy was super personable and helpful during our whole wedding planning experience. From the start, he took the time to meet with us in person and create a personalized plan for what we wanted for our wedding. Besides giving us great advice on photography, he also has a lot of insight on weddings in general and is always willing to answer questions. His photos are amazing and something we will treasure for the rest of our lives. Definitely someone we'd recommend!!

    The best analogy I can use when describing Tommy is that he literally hit one out of the ballpark. We chose Tommy to do our engagement photography and he did not disappoint one bit. Tommy provided excellent feedback on where my fiance and I should take engagement photos and was flexible in getting us scheduled and where we wanted to meet to take pictures. On the actual day of shooting, Tommy was incredibly pleasant to be around, knowing how to engage us every step of the way. Shooting pictures is a stressful ordeal, but Tommy made it a fun experience. He was also an expert in setting us up for the best shots in the best locations. When we got the pictures, we were floored with the quality of the pictures as they all turned out really well. Overall, we couldn't have picked a better engagement photographer. On top of all this, he offers excellent value. One would be hard pressed to find a better photographer than Tommy Cowan.

    When we started planning our wedding we knew that a good photographer was one of the most important pieces along with good food & drink, and a good DJ. We wanted memories that we could look back on for a lifetime. Our goal was to get unique pictures we could use to decorate our home and give as gifts to our family. Tommy knocked it out of the park. His entire process made us feel confident we made the right choice from day one. He worked with us to understand our unique needs, and he was a pleasure to work with throughout the process. His ability to organize and work the crowd made us feel like he was the coordinator for anything photo related on the big day. We were nervous, but he made the whole process fun and got the best out of us. But ultimately it was his creative eye and skill that gave us the best wedding photos we have ever seen. Our pictures are unique and gorgeous! We could not be happier with the final product. If you are debating who to hire as your wedding photographer, our advice would be stop debating, and go with Tommy! You will be happy you did!

    Tommy took the MOST artistic, creative & fun one year anniversary photos, it really made us wish he would have done our wedding photos because we loved them more than those!
    If we ever need a photographer we will definitely be hiring him again! He is so easy to work with & makes you feel so relaxed & comfortable! You will not be disappointed if you hired him! I really can't say enough good things about him & his talent! If you want the top, go with Tommy!!

    Tommy was beyond incredible every step of the way for our January wedding in Denver, CO! When we were still shopping around for photographers, he was recommended by a family member's friend and after our first conversation with him we could see why. He was extremely accommodating to our schedule, which included two locations (ceremony & reception venues), and our budget. Because we had to plan the wedding from out of town, he "met" with us via Skype and answered all of our questions and concerns, while giving professional advice that really seemed geared to our interests rather than his own personal profit. The day of the wedding, he and his second photographer arrived on-time and brought so much energy to the long process of taking big family shots. In our bride-and-groom shots, he managed to make us very comfortable, even though we're both self-proclaimed haters of having our pictures taken, and kept the mood light and upbeat. He was precise in what shots he wanted, but also asked for our input along the way. A few weeks after the wedding, we received our pictures! He even gave us a extra disks of digital copies at no charge so that we could give them to our families rather than having to email hundreds of pictures. He has continued to stay in touch and make sure we were happy with our wedding days, and we definitely still are!! I cannot recommend Tommy and T5 photography enough for their beautiful work, professionalism, and friendly attitudes!!

    I used Tommy and T5 Photography for my wedding in September 2015 and he was fantastic! He has an eye for getting just the right shots - the photos came out great! Tommy was professional, but still laid back and fun to have at the wedding. He worked really well with my photo-phobic friends and husband. We have received so many compliments! I highly recommend T5 Photography!

    Tommy was absolutely unbelievable! We were so blessed to have him there to capture such incredible pictures on our special day. Not only did the photos turn out amazingly but Tommy was a true professional who didn't merely range pictures, but provided a fun, relaxing atmosphere. We HIGHLY recommend him if you ever need any sort of pictures taken for ANYTHING! Tommy is worth every single penny and then some! Do yourself a favor and make him your photographer!

    I did my boudoir shoot with and also we had to do wedding "retakes". It just makes me SO sad we didn't go with him from the start. He was so amazing to work with, made you feel very comfortable and was honest about pictures. He would tell you if an angle or shot wasn't going to work, try to make you laugh so you "didn't fake smile" and was such a pleasure to work with. I will continue to use him for any event we have like our son's first birthday! I can't wait to work with Tommy again and get some awesome shots!

    Tommy did an incredible job! He made us feel so comfortable and relaxed. I had no worries about him, I knew he was going to do a great job. He was very professional and timely. All of the guests loved him as well. The photos turned out incredible, I was so pleased with them. I would highly recommend Tommy!

    Apart from being an extraordinary human being, Tommy is an exceptional photographer. My wife and I had our wedding last summer and we were fortunate enough to have Tommy and his associate photograph our special day. Not only did he do an incredible job on our wedding day, but we had engagement photos that were second to none. Photos that I will cherish forever. One of Tommy's strengths (among many others) is his ability to listen. For both our engagement and wedding photos, we expressed to him that there were certain images and shots that we wanted and he was able to capture them even better than we imagined. Our experience with T5 Photography was outstanding! I would encourage anybody looking for an exceptional photographer to book as soon as possible with T5! You will not be disappointed.

    Tommy has been fantastic to work with. He understood what we were looking for in our pictures and captured that beautifully. He was able to ascertain quickly what we didn't want, and made sure to avoid those shots. He was a pleasure to work with and I can't wait to work with him more

    We had the pleasure of working with Tommy Cowan for our engagement and wedding photos in 2014. Not only is Tommy extremely professional, he is also fun to work with. He is aware of the stress and excitement of these important events, and remains patient and flexible. He really knows how to capture the essence of his client's personalities, and makes amazing use of light. He provided us with many amazing images that we will cherish always. Tommy's work is well worth the (very reasonable) cost. When we had a baby in 2015, we used him to take newborn photos and once again were impressed by his work. We will continue to call on Tommy for photos of all our important milestones!

    Tommy is everything you can ask for. He was professional, yet very good at making you feel comfortable so you can get very natural looking photos. He is very easy and fun to work with, and he truly cared about our wedding and making us happy with his service. Couldn't have asked for anything more! He went above and beyond for us and exceeded all expectations!

    Tommy was referred to us through a friend after a less-than-pleasant experience with another photographer for our engagement photos, so needless to say our standards were high! We knew what an important part your photographer plays in your wedding - not just with the end products of your wedding album - but with the overall flow and experience of the entire day. Whatever photographer you chose, make sure he/she has CONFIDENCE in what they are doing. Tommy knew my husband and I could be kind of awkward with some photos, but he made it so much fun, and made us totally comfortable every step of the way - and the pictures show just that. On top of all that, Tommy CLEARLY LOVES what he does - it shows in his attitude and in the pictures you will have to cherish forever. We have used Tommy for our engagement/wedding photos, maternity photos, newborn photos, and in a couple weeks he will be with us to celebrate our daughter's first birthday. We love him!!

    I genuinely cannot say enough good things about Tommy from T5. He is professional, kind, thorough, compassionate, timely, prompt, and so much more. He did all the things I asked him to do EXACTLY how I asked him to do them and in a timely manner. He answered my millions of questions and never made me feel like I was a burden. He made my husband feel comfortable in front of the camera (definitely not an easy task) and encouraged us to be ourselves. People comment on how breathtaking our photos are from Tommy and I never hesitate to say who took them - I will recommend Tommy to every single person I come in contact with because people deserve to have a photographer they love! Thank you, Tommy, for giving us pictures we can cherish for a lifetime!

    We decided to use Tommy after seeing the photos he took for our friends wedding last year. He had also posted quite a few pictures from other weddings he had shot and we both really liked the look and feel of his photos. Having known Tommy on a personal level, it made me super excited to use him as our photographer and he did not disappoint. He shot our engagement photos as well as our wedding and the work he did was incredible. Our friends and family LOVED our engagement photos and cannot wait to see all of our wedding photos. He made sure to chat with Rip and I about what we were wanting as a look and feel for our engagement photos and he was able to come up with some ideas for where we could go, which we loved because it was one less thing we had to decide! Tommy was with us the entire day of the wedding and was incredibly organized and very creative. He was punctual and did not stop working from the minute he arrived. The sneak peeks we have seen so far truly capture the beauty of our venue and our wedding. As my mother and some of our friends have mentioned, "All of these photos seem like they are out of a magazine, they are so beautiful!". Using T5 photography as our photographers for our wedding photos was the best decision we made. Thank you Tommy!

    Tommy shot our engagement photos and wedding for us, and took some absolutely incredible photos! He has such an artistic eye for natural photo backdrops, poses and placements, and creative shots! During the pitch black night of our reception, he was able to take a few photos of the two of us outside with the stars shining in the background. This didn't make sense at first as it was pitch dark and very hard to see or pose right, but somehow he created enough light to make for the most perfect and unique picture.You will never have a dull picture, or anything short of purely stunning from Tommy. He is so incredibly professional through and through, but also brings such a personal side and really knows how to relate to those he is working with on any level. The kids LOVE him and he has a special way of getting them involved in the shoots, so that they magically find themselves cooperating and going along with the pictures he takes. Such a great photographer and very easy to work with! We can't wait to see the hundreds of pictures he took for our special day!

    Tommy and his wife used to be my neighbors. Over the years, I was able to get to know him, learn more about his love of photography, his passions for weddings, and saw his talent first hand. A few years ago, Tommy did a shoot with me and my two Great Danes in a local park. He made us all feel at ease and captured their personalities perfectly! Once my husband and I got engaged, we already knew we wanted Tommy to be our photographer. We were planning a wedding down in Costa Rica and were ecstatic when he agreed to join us! Tommy discussed the value of a second shooter and we were sold so along came Brian Mallik for the trek.

    We were spoiled having two photographers along our journey. They wrote a daily blog containing sneak peek pictures. This was nice for our family and friends that could not make the trip. A few days prior to our wedding, Tommy and Brian scouted a remote beach for an intimate portrait session. This got us used to their cues, how to work with them, and made us more comfortable for the day of.

    Even though they stayed with us and our guests, when it came to the wedding day, Tommy and Brian jumped out of guest mode right into professional mode! They provided the right amount of direction while still listening to our expectations of our pictures. They scouted beaches, made sure we were there at the right time, and worked in sync with our wedding planner so we didn’t miss a beat! We found them extremely easy to work with, and they work so well together in getting a variety of unique, beautiful shots that you could never get with a single shooter. The pictures captured our moments perfectly with an artful eye!

    With the memories already fading, we can look back at the pictures and remember exactly how it felt in the moment; you can see the intimacy and emotion. Without a doubt, I highly recommend Tommy for any of your photography needs. He will capture your unforgettable moments and tell your story exactly as you would want him to.

    Our wedding was in Brighton, and I was definitely worried about how the pictures would come out giving that there were mostly shops and small warehouses surrounding our venue. Tommy was great and patient with our group! I would recommend him to everyone! My wife and I cannot wait to get our photos up in the new house!

    Tommy Cowan is a wonderful photographer. He was very fun to work with on the day of our wedding and was extremely friendly and easy to get along with. He did a great job of making everyone feel comfortable. He and his assistant were not distracting at all during the ceremony or reception. They did an excellent job of "blending in". Tommy also got some great shots which we really enjoy showing off.

    We were only the slightest bit disappointed in the family/group pictures he took. They seemed a bit too rushed and placements for those could have been more visually appealing. We also noticed that some of our guests did not make it into any photos, which was also a slight disappointment. This is probably because the photography team took a break during dinner- and we wish we had some pictures of each table, just to document everyone who was there. With that being said, we have NO DOUBT that if we would have requested these things from Tommy he would have been more than accommodating. Part of our disappointment was probably our lack of knowledge about things we expected, and probably should have communicated better in advance.

    You should be aware that you will receive all of your photos via a "Dropbox" account (and a CD, only if you request it). We thought this was an easy way to see and download our photos to our computer. Some of our older guests (ie. grandparents) had a more difficult time viewing the photos, and probably would have preferred a website. These people were also looking to purchase prints. Traditionally, they are used to placing an order with a photographer, which was not really an option. (Again, Tommy is such a hard worker that he probably would have done this for them if we asked).

    Overall, we were impressed with Tommy and would hire him again. He is extremely flexible and aims to please. The key is really knowing your priorities and communicating them well.
