    The Best Photographer!! Highly Recommend!!

    Tomas is hands down the best photographer!! If I could give him more than 5 stars, I would! You will not regret hiring him for your special day and engagement shoot.

    We interviewed several top/luxury wedding photographers in Los Angeles and Bay Area and had a very difficult choice to make. We are so happy that we chose Tomas! We could not be happier! He has exceeded our expectations over and over again! Not only is he an incredible photographer, but he is also kind, compassionate, and caring. When we were still making our decision, Tomas took the time to check in with us gently to see if we had any other questions. He also did a last minute call one weekend with us to help with our decision.

    Tomas has a very quick response time and genuinely spends time to get to know you. I feel that Tomas cares about me as a person and as his client. We are not just another business transaction to him. That is hard to find, especially in the world of wedding vendors. He is not only our wedding photographer, but now a friend to us both! There need to be more kind people like Tomas in the world. His messages and replies are some of the kindest and most thoughtful you will ever receive. He even took time to wish us a Merry Christmas and send kind words for the holidays!

    When we were planning for our engagement shoot, he had attire suggestions as well as location suggestions and ideas. We had an incredible engagement photo shoot at Pasadena City Hall and the LA Arboretum. Both of us felt a little nervous going into the shoot, but Tomas helped us relax and have a great time. He has such a fun personality. We trusted his process and his directions for various poses. Tomas also let us take several photos with our little goldendoodle. Our photos look incredible!! He captured our love so beautifully! The photos are gorgeous, luxurious, romantic, and timeless. Some luxury photographers are wonderful but their photos look very posed or the couple does not look comfortable. However, Tomas's photos do not look posed at all and are overflowing with love and many smiles. We have been incredibly grateful with the outpouring of love from our family and friends over our photos. Everyone loves them!

    Additionally (I will post a specific review on her page), his wife Agne is one of the top makeup artists/hair stylists in Los Angeles (owner of Beauty Affair) and is also incredible and one of the sweetest people you will meet in your life. She made me look so beautiful for my engagement shoot! Check her out as well if you are looking for a makeup artist and team.

    We are so excited for our wedding this summer and to see Tomas and Agne again!

    You won't regret it, BEST photographer!!

    HIGHLY recommend The Big Affair! Tomas absolutely blew us away with both our wedding and engagement photoshoots. From the moment we met Tomas he ensured we felt comfortable and relaxed in front of the camera. My husband and I hadn't done a shoot together before but Tomas patiently guided us through different poses to find our groove, and boy did it pay off in the end photos! His attention to detail, creative eye, and dedication to getting "the shot" is second to none. Not only do we have so many great photos to choose from but working with Tomas was an absolute dream. He is a kindhearted and fun person that I hope to have the pleasure of working with again. Would give him 10 stars if I could. Thank you Tomas!

    The Big Affair's reply:

    Dear Aimee and Jon,

    I want to express my gratitude for your kind and honest review. It was the first time I heard such positive feedback, and I truly appreciate it. Working with both of you was an absolute pleasure, and I feel honored to have captured your priceless moments. Your eternal love for each other is truly inspiring, and I wish you all the best in your future together.

    Thank you again for choosing me to be a part of your special day.

    Best regards, Tomas Skaringa

    Amazing Wedding Photographer!


    We absolutely loved working with The Big Affair as our wedding photographer! We were drawn to his ability to capture timeless, special moments while also capturing unique and less "cliche/cheesy" moments. The pictures we received are absolutely incredible and we are so in love with them! Tomas was amazing to work with - very responsive and professional. He was able to provide our wedding photos earlier than the slated date and we really could not be happier. If I could give a higher rating than 5/5 I would!

    Most incredible photographer!

    We chose Tomas at The Big Affair for our wedding photography and we couldn’t be happier with our choice! Our photos are absolutely stunning, and he captured so many beautiful moments in the day that we otherwise wouldn’t have seen. The pictures are timeless and classic, and we know we will love them forever. Not only is he such a talented photographer, but Tomas is super kind, helpful and has been a pleasure to work with during the full wedding planning process. On the wedding day, he was a very calming presence and made us feel really comfortable in front of the camera. You can’t go wrong choosing Tomas for your wedding photography!

    Best Photographer EVER

    Tomas is fantastic!!! From the beginning, the whole process was easy and comfortable. He also didn't try to upsell me, which I really appreciate. I did a lot of research before booking and his prices were reasonable and his photos are AMAZING!!! At the end of the day, the photos are what you take away from your wedding (other than your marriage, of course) so it's important to pick a great photographer and no one is better than Tomas. I love love love the photos and I'm so happy we went with him. I'm sure he books up super fast so book him now!!

    The best of the BEST!

    One word. Magical! Words cannot express how truly amazing and wonderful it was working with Tomas. Not only is his work a masterpiece, he's an absolute gem to work with.

    I've always dreamed of what my wedding would look like as a kid and Tomas captured my vision beautifully. Let me just say that I interviewed all of the top photographers in LA and OC and Tomas' work shined brightly among everyone else's. He's the kindest, most professional and talented photographer I've ever met and worked with. His work speaks for itself and we couldn't be happier with how our wedding pictures turned out. If you're looking for a photographer that will capture beautiful memories, he's right here.

    On our wedding day, he was so gentle and yet direct that everyone adored him. He'll get you exactly what you want with a beautiful smile on his face. I tend to be camera shy and he did a great job directing me on how to pose. Our wedding was a dream and I cannot thank Tomas enough for being present to capture our beautiful moments. These are all core memories! I HIGHLY recommend Tomas for your wedding or any event that needs to be captured. He was well-loved among the guests and everyone was in awe of his work! I would get married again (to the same man) just to have an excuse to have him take more pictures! Do yourself a favor and book Tomas. You can thank me later when you're getting teary-eyed looking at all of your stunning pictures. He's truly the best of the best….the crème de la crème of photographers.

    Best Photographer You Could Hire!

    We could not recommend Tomas enough! He is kind, funny and amazingly talented - definitely one of the best choices we made for our big day! The first time we met Tomas to discuss hiring him for our wedding, he made us feel comfortable and at ease. He took the time to get to know us as a couple which helped in capturing photos that really showcased us as a couple. If you look at Tomas' website you can see this as each couples' photos are uniquely beautiful and reflective of their personalities and relationship. For our engagement photoshoot we went to the beach in Malibu and this was when we really got to see Tomas' talent and artistry shine through. He made the photoshoot fun and completely eased the nerves we had about being a bit out of our element. Additionally, he was creative and meticulous about getting the best poses, angles, lighting, etc., even if it meant our shoot went a bit longer than the contracted time. And while he was happy to make suggestions, he also made sure to check with us on the types of shots and mood we wanted for our photos. When we received the photos (very quickly we might add), we were blown away! He delivered so many amazing pictures it was impossible to choose our favorites and somehow managed to make what was a crowded beach look empty. On our wedding day, we were so excited to work with Tomas knowing he would capture the best day of our lives beautifully and uniquely. He arrived early to the venue and got to work immediately, capturing every detail and moment perfectly. Something we particularly loved about Tomas' work was his attention both to us as the couple, but also to our friends and family. Seeing the happiness and love shared not just between us, but all of our loved ones is priceless and these pictures will be cherished forever. They have already allowed us to relive the best day of our lives in such spectacular quality and detail numerous times. We would also like to add that we had countless family members and friends tell us how much they liked working with Tomas and how impressed they were with his talent and detail. From the bottom of our hearts - THANK YOU!!

    The Best Photographer ever!!!

    It was hands down our best photoshoot experience ever! Tomas is not only a talented photographer but very sweet and kind person! We had our first photoshoot with Tomas for our engagement. Neither of us had much experience in doing photoshoots but Tomas was able to effortlessly guide us through what we needed to do. In the end our pictures turned out better than we could have imagined. We knew we are in good hands when Tomas did our wedding photoshoot. Tomas went above and beyond to make sure he captures every detail of our big day. It was so organized, thought through, and enjoyable photoshoot with amazing pictures that we will cherish for years! We definitely recommend Tomas and his team to all couples searching for a highly skilled photography company that truly invests in their clients and cares about making lasting memories as much as the bride and groom does. We appreciate Tomas’ professionalism, creativity and skills. Thank you for delivering beyond our expectations!!!

    Incredible

    Tomas was incredible. He was thorough and detail-oriented yet very accommodating and willing to incorporate our feedback. The shots he took on our wedding day were exquisite -- no possible way that anyone could have done a better job. From family shots to action shots and detail (setup) photos, we were 1000% satisfied. He has a great eye for lighting and what will look great in a photo, and he also knows all the right shots to take to make sure we have a holistic encapsulation of the day. His assistants on the day of were high quality as well.

    Highly recommend also doing an engagement shoot with Tomas, as it helped break the ice and mutually learn our photo preferences.

    Best Photographer

    Look no further for your wedding/engagement/event photographer! Tomas is a true artist and the best of the best. My fiance and I hired Tomas for our wedding next year after we had the most incredible engagement shoot with him. Not only did we love the photos, but we thoroughly enjoyed working with him and our time spent together. He is professional, engaging, kind, and genuinely cares about the couples he works with. We have stayed in close contact with him and truly feel like he's more of a friend than a vendor! We can't wait for Tomas to shoot our wedding in 2021 and recommend you book him sooner than later!

It doesn't get better than this he is a TOP NOTCH Photographer combined with a very warm friendly heart. We would work with him in the future and I don't see why you wouldn't want to as well :)

    A dream come true

    I have really been looking forward to writing this review. From the first time me and my husband met Tomas we knew that we had found the perfect photographer.

    He was extremely professional, very accommodating, and understood the exact vision we had for our wedding day.

    We booked him a year in advance and greatly appreciated him keeping in contact with us the entire year leading up to our big day! We appreciated the fact he continously checked in on us before the wedding and after.

    Let me get to it, the big day! He came in right on time with all his beautiful equipment, great big smile and had the best personality. From the moment he started, till the very end he was taking endless photos and guiding us every step.

    We felt so comfortable with him, like we could just be ourselves. Also, I don't want to forget about his assistant who was amazing, and perfect to have.

    As Tomas was making sure to capture all the beautiful moments, his assistant continously helped makesure every detail was perfect! They were such a great team together. I truly hope they know how much they completed our special day.

    Tomas has a one of a kind eye, the way he shoots his work is just impeccable. Now time to talk about our wedding gallery! We received them with a beautiful setup. He put together an amazing assortment for us to choose from. We could tell that each photo he placed in our gallery was specially chosen.

    I have to say anyone that is able to experience his work is so lucky.

    I was beyond blown away! He captured every single moment of our day BEAUTIFULLY. His work is truly just....Amazing.

    Most amazing photographer in the world!

    If I could give Tomas a million stars I would!!! Tomas is not only the most amazing photographer in the world, but the most kindhearted soul as well. As a bride there are so many things to think about, but the one thing I had total confidence in was my photographer. Tomas did both our engagement shoot and our entire wedding day, and our photos for both came out absolutely stunning. He captured the emotion of us (the bride and groom) and our guests SO well, as well as the beauty of the venue! Both aspects were really important to us, so we were thrilled at how perfectly Tomas did both. Furthermore, Tomas's super kind, caring, and professional nature makes working with him SO much fun. When we got our photos back, some made me gasp from how stunning they were, some made me teary eyed from how beautiful the memories were, and some made me laugh because I got to see moments I didn't know had happened! The quality of Tomas's photos are truly incomparable, and being able to have Tomas capture our wedding day meant the world to me. He is not only a brilliant photographer, but an awesome human being as well. My wedding day was truly a dream come true, and having Tomas be a part of it made our magical day even more perfect. We definitely hope to work with Tomas again in the future, and I cannot recommend him enough! We love you Tomas!

    Choose Tomas!

    There are so many photographers out there, it’s so hard to choose after looking through dozens of portfolios, internet searches, and scrolling through Instagram. I was about to go with another photographer, but then got an email that I had a won a contest I entered for a free engagement shoot with The Big Affair. I checked out Tomas’ portfolio and I was blown away by the quality. However, I wasn’t sure I could afford him. Tomas was generous enough to try to work within my budget.
    I knew when I got my engagement pics back that I had made the right decision hiring Tomas. They weren’t too staged or stiff. I previously had done a quick shoot with a photographer in Italy right after my then fiancé proposed, and Tomas’ pictures blew those ones out of the water.
    I also had a very unique situation of having two weddings. A traditional Indian one and and and American one. The pictures for my events exceeded my expectations.
    Tomas even recommended another photographer for one of my Indian events that was more in my price range so that I could have that event captured. That was extremely helpful.
    He was great at working with my family, friends and bridal party. He captured so much emotion and love on those days and I will be forever grateful to have those beautiful memories to cherish for a lifetime.
    Tomas was quick to get my photos back to me. He is so talented, and not to mention a lovely person. I have no doubt I will be calling him again when I want to have a maternity shoot done. If you are considering booking Tomas, please do not hesitate. I know it’s a huge decision but Tomas was my favorite vendor and I would recommend him in a heartbeat!

    Could Not Ask for a Better Photographer

    After interviewing and looking through the portfolios of numerous wedding photographers, we finally decided on Tomas of The Big Affair. We were looking for a photographer who captures genuine emotion, and we could see that this was clearly Tomas's gift from his previous wedding albums. I cannot express how happy my husband and I were with our engagement and wedding photos! Tomas truly captured all the joyous and special moments among our loved ones on our big day. We are able to relive all the feelings of love, excitement, and gratitude from our wedding day by looking through the incredible photos that Tomas took. He is not only a true artist with a talented eye for lighting, composition, and framing but also a genuinely sincere and thoughtful human being who is an absolute delight to work with. He truly made all of our guests and wedding party laugh and feel at ease throughout the wedding night. He clearly put in 110% effort on our wedding day to ensure that we get the best possible photos. My husband and I have had numerous friends ask us for our photographer's contact info because they were so impressed by our photos. We would not hesitate to choose Tomas again, and we recommend him to other couples with our highest recommendation!

    My wife and I have looked at many photographers and vendors, and The Big Affair caught our eyes instantly (note, my mother is a professional photographer, and my wife and I are keen in observing photography). After reviewing his samples, we decided to go with him without hesitation.  Tomas has been very kind to follow our stories, and he really tried to get to know us personally. He was very easy to work with, and has a calming effect on us and we didn't have a single doubt or worry about the photo, before and during the ceremony; we were able to be ourselves, have fun, enjoy the moment, and focus on building our memory. I think working with Tomas was part of the memory of our wedding. He was genuinely wanting our happiness. The reason I emphasize Tomas's personality is because the artist's perspective of the object really determines how his/her work will be portrayed. He did comment constantly that we are cute and beautiful couples, and the work showed itself as such. His photos portrayed ourselves, BETTER THAN how I imagined the best view of ourselves! The photo-journalistic style caught every moment in a natural way, and the photos do not look staged at all. The photos really capture our PERSONALITY: my playfulness, my wife's bashfulness, my father-in-law's quiet and gentle love,  mine and wife's mothers exuberance.. THEY ARE ALL THERE. We did not use a videographer, but the photographs have captured all the memories/stories and tells the stories themselves, that we do not regret not having the videos really! We absolutely love Tomas, and choosing him as our photographer was the best decision we've made for our wedding planning. GET HIM as your photographer while you can!!

    Tomas was simply tremendous. I talked to a lot of photraphers and ended up hiring him because the quality of his portfolio pictures was top notch and he was very easy going and friendly in person. I got a really good vibe from talking to him and felt like he was going to do a great job for us.

    I hesitently opted for the engagement shoot and even though I wasn't sure about it, I ended up being extremely happy the decision. The engagement shoot was the perfect trial run for the big day and we got to feel very comfortable around him, which made our wedding day a breeze. As soon as we got our shots back I knew we had the right guy, they were absolutely beautiful.

    Tomas' wedding day photography was even better, if that is even possible. He worked tirelessly, well into the the evening and captured just about everything. It was astonishing just how many great shots he got... the bridal party, our families, the ceremony, the reception, the detail shots, the candids, the dancing. He seemed to capture everything and the quality was jaw dropping. I am assuredly biased but, the best shots were of myself and my bride... they will truly be treasured forever.

    I wholeheartedly recommend you trust Tomas with photography on your big day. No vintage filters, or phony overexposed/washed out shots, just gorgeous pictures taken with the nuance, patience and skill of a true professional.

    Thomas is incredible. His passion for capturing the real sweetness of the moment is very special. We spent the day at Matador Beach doing our engagement shoot. A fun filled day that embraced a magnificent sunset. On the wedding day, he directed and made us feel incredibly at ease. He took amazing shots of the ceremony that leave nothing but the essence of the day. Truly appreciate your work. It's crisp, classy, and breathtaking!

    My fiancé and I booked Tomas for our wedding a year in advance after falling in love with his photos and reading all his great reviews online. Since then he has met all of our expectations. He is a true professional, dedicated, and immensely talented, and that is what makes him stand above the rest. We had a big Russian wedding and several videographers getting in the way and he still managed to capture all our important moments beautifully. He speaks Russian, which was an additional asset, and both he and his assistant photographer, Joe, were so great to be around on our wedding day. He is honest, responsive, and he delivered our photos in a timely and creative way. He is also amazing at editing, editing all the photos to timeless perfection. Dear Tomas, thank you for recreating our wedding with so much beauty and giving us everlasting memories that we will cherish for the rest of our lives!

    When my fiancé and I were looking for a Los Angeles wedding photographer we had to make sure that he takes not only good photos, but also has great and kind personality and very responsive.
    Tomas was everything my fiancé and I were looking for. He was so friendly, kind, informative and professional. Plus the photos he takes are completely stunning. So, we did not anticipate to book him for our wedding and were beyond happy with our decision.
    On the day of our wedding Tomas and his awesome crew were so professional. Tomas is a true artist. He is very good at directing and knows what angles and light works best for a perfect portrait. Together with his team he captured the essence of who we really are and many beautiful moments that are so precious to us. We were so happy to have Tomas and his team to photograph our wedding and would highly recommend to choose The Big Affair anyone who is getting married!

    My husband and I could not be more pleased that we hired Tomas as our wedding photographer. We knew he was good based upon his his portfolio, but I was a little nervous as I personally am not the most photogenic individual (I have a tendency to close my eyes in photos A LOT). I shouldn’t have worried: Tomas was able to capture many flattering looks and angles. We got married a week ago, and within two days of our wedding he had already sent us a dozen BEAUTIFUL photos from our special day.

    On the day of the wedding, he was early and highly professional. He has a natural way of getting people to pose and his manner with both the wedding party and guests was gentle and amiable. Many of our guests remarked about how great he was, as well as his assistant. My mother requested that Tomas take a picture of every table with us, and he was happy to do so. He was also able to capture some very touching moments and many small details as well. We have already referred friends to him, and I will continue to do so, so their pictures can also be truly flawless.

    Thank you so much, Tomas! We cannot wait to see the rest of our photos and relive all of the memories you have preserved for us.
