    The magical experience we wanted!!!

    While the dress will go into a closet, the cake get eaten, and the music be forgotten, wedding pictures are the one thing that will last through the years. Having a low cost, simple wedding due to COVID complications was stressful and had plenty of hurdles. When I reached out to Tom about potentially photographing our wedding, I immediately knew I made the right choice. I had followed Tom’s photography for years, and loved his lighting, attention to detail, and unique perspective. He was kind enough to arrange an initial consult on our time, and put any and all of my worries at bay. The day of the wedding, it was SO refreshing to be able to enjoy my day without worrying that the perfect shots would happen. Not only did the photos exceed my expectations, but he was professional, attentive, and very COVID protocol aware, yet he was unobtrusive and knew exactly when to be where. He made everyday locations look magical, and we are beyond thankful for the memories that we will have forever. I can’t say enough wonderful things about Tom Couture Photography, and will always use him for special events in our family.

    Tom is Amazing!

    Tom was incredibly easy to work with, and we couldn't be happier with how our photos came out. He's very easygoing, amenable to ideas, and excellent at coming up with some of his own if you're uncertain or overwhelmed. He made it so that my husband and I were focused more on our day, being present for our families and each other, and less on posing for the perfect shot (which he did get, by the way). Every photo we took with him came about effortlessly and naturally. There were honestly times where I didn't even notice Tom was there during our ceremony and reception (which I tend to take as a sign of a great photographer). Especially given the pandemic and all of the chaos surrounding our needing to re-format our wedding venue on the fly, Tom was extremely accommodating. I honestly cannot speak more highly of his work, his professionalism, and his kind nature. He also mailed us our thumb drive with our photos and put it in a beautiful customized wooden box. As a bonus, he has also shot some fantastic bands before, and I suggest checking out his non-wedding work, which is equally great!

    Spectacular!

    When you plan a wedding for a year during COVID, you need a great crew behind you. Tom was a 10/10 during a high stress time. He’s a wonderful person and incredibly talented. I like working w kind people and Tom is just that!

    Was super accommodating and gracious- taking both glam shots and the ridiculous very cliche shots I wanted. He made himself available for all our requests and, together, we got
    many spectacular shots that I’ll cherish forever. He captured our joy and the love we shared with our guests.. Thanks Tom! You are spectacular and I’ll forever recommend you to all the brides. :)

    We are so happy with our wedding photographs by Tom! I love photography and wanted to find a personable and local photographer who would provide us a unique experience! After reviewing Tom's online portfolio I was ecstatic about his work and requested a booking. Tom went above and beyond to capture all the fun emotions of our day. We are a bit shy in front of the camera and it was so awesome how comfortable he made us feel. We have received many lovely comments from friends and family about our photographs and feel very lucky to have these memories to look back on. <3

    When my husband and I first got engaged, Tom was the first vendor we booked and we are so glad we did! After meeting Tom for the first time, it was clear to us that he would be he perfect fit for our wedding. Tom captured our entire day, start to finish, making sure to capture every small moment and memory along the way. His artistic and creative style of photography blew us away, as well as anyone else who has seen our photos since the wedding. I cannot count how many people who have said our photos belong in a magazine somewhere. Tom is not only kind, patient, and personable, he is beyond talented. I would absolutely recommend him if you are looking to receive once in a lifetime photos of your big day!

    Choosing Tom as my wedding photographer was one of the best decisions I made throughout the wedding planning process. Tom came recommended to me by a friend who had done an engagement shoot (and subsequently a wedding) with him. From day one he was super engaging, the perfect balance of responsive and professional yet easy going and cool. People say you vote for the President you'd most like to have a beer with, we went with the photographer we'd most like to have a beer with. He made our wedding day run smoothly, without stress. People came up to me and told me he was great, you didn't even know he was there... he everywhere and nowhere all at once. Tom's pictures speak for themselves - absolutely incredible. The pictures look better than reality! You hear about people waiting months and months to get their wedding photos back, not here. Tom provided us a link to his blog with 130 gorgeous pictures only a month after the wedding. Family and friends wEre all thrilled with the results!

    Tom did such a wonderful job capturing the story of our wedding day. I saw some photos that Tom had taken at the Lincoln, NH Ice Castles while researching photographers for our winter wedding, which led me to his website and portfolio of work. Needless to say, it was a very easy decision for us to hire Tom. He and his second shooter, Brendan, truly caught the emotions of the day from the minute they started snapping photos at the salon to the last dance of the night. I remember a friend commenting to me, "Your photographers are everywhere! I can't wait to see these pictures!" Thank you Tom, for the hilarious candid shots that made us laugh, and for the stunning captures that will always make me tear up.

    Tom found me on Instagram about a year ago before I had even met my husband, and I immediately followed him back. After having his work pop up in my feed for some time, I contacted him as soon as I got engaged. Tom is not only an incredibly talented photographer, he is also a genuinely nice person who connects with people making them feel at ease. A photographer that can connect and relate with your guests is very, very important. Having art directed photoshoots myself for clients, I understand how important all of the details are. Having a photographer who can see both the big and small (details!) picture on your wedding day is of the utmost importance. Tom has it all. Also, my Mom absolutely loved him – hat more can you ask for!?

    I've always wanted Tom Couture to be my wedding photographer. There were only two details I had always dreamt of, one being my wedding location and two know who I wanted as my photographer. My wedding day went by so fast and Tom captured amazing memories, emotions and moments I was not aware we're happening. The pictures are everything I wanted and more. Thank you Tom for helping make my day everything I wanted it to be.

    My husband and I couldn't be happier with Tom as our wedding photographer! He went above and beyond to provide us with amazing photographs. My friends and family loved him and can not stop complimenting me on my wedding photos. I would recommend him without hesitation.

    On top of being everything you expect your photographer to be (prompt, professional, and talented) Tom was EVERYWHERE. Our ceremony was about 3 minutes long and he managed to get pictures of us from all angles. If you're looking for a photographer that can really capture the party, he's your guy! I will cherish my wedding photos forever - he really just nailed it.

    The quality of the photos that were provided were more than I could have hoped for! All of my guests were blown away by how well he mingled and the shots that he got. We also used his photo-booth of which was a huge success at our wedding. Overall was one of the BEST investments that I made for capturing the day. I highly recommend him for any event you want captured.

    I have known Tom for years and he was my first choice when choosing a wedding photographer. I love his style, the way he captures special moments and makes the photo come to life are unlike any photographer i've seen, i cant help but to recommend him to everyone out there looking for a photographer! He is flexible, as well as professional but allows you to have your own say in the photos he takes. Many of my family and friends cant get over the pictures from our wedding and how he captured each special moment. By booking with Tom you are getting more than just a great photographer but a wonderful person to work with, as well as stunning photos that you will LOVE! I can promise you, you wont be disappointed!!

    Tom was very professional and friendly. I had a somewhat unglamorous space that I was getting ready in, so I was hesitant for Tom to take pictures in it, but he made them look awesome.

    He stayed way later than I expected him too and he was with all the kids in the photo booth.

    I know several of my friends and family asked for his card in hopes to have him photograph other events.

    He did a great job. :) The photos were lovely, he was there right on time and stayed most of the day, through the reception, and we got our photos in a timely manner after the wedding. Highly recommended!
