    Profession - Reassuring - Passionate - Timely

    Tom is passionate about his work and it shows! He takes time to make every picture a work of art worthy of being framed. He is great with responding on time and communication is never an issue. 100/10 would recommend and that is not a typo!

    The best wedding decision

    Can we give Tom 10/5 stars? I mean, hiring him was the single best decision we made in our entire wedding-planning process. Of all our vendors, Tom was the easiest to get in touch with, and he was always quick to answer our questions and give suggestions when we asked. I had no doubt at all that we'd get along when we met him (we only chatted on the phone prior to wedding day), and I was right. He was such a calming presence on our wedding day, managed to corral our family members kindly and efficiently, and got every shot we could have wanted. He's so professional. He delivered our edited photos within 3 weeks of our wedding. 3 weeks! He told us to expect a month, but we were amazed at how quickly he got the photos back to us. We can't thank Tom enough for everything he did to create photos that will preserve our memories forever. All we can do is tell everyone to hire him for photography in Northeast Ohio.

    Tom truly captured every moment of our wedding day!

    Tom’s calming and conversational nature made it easy to pose for the camera. The candids truly showed the happiness and joy in everyone on that day. Our pictures were ready in an impressive amount of time, and Tom is great at communicating the entire process with you! My experience with Tom Forrest was nothing short of excellent!

    Stunning wedding photos!!

    Tom did an amazing job capturing our wedding! He was with us all day long and was able to capture every detail of our big day. He was so accommodating and easy to work with every step of the way. His high quality, beautiful pictures will last a lifetime. His fun personality was an added bonus and he even removed a very large bug from our drapes! He does it all!

    A True Pro - Happy Days Lodge - 6/9/23

    I actually found Tom's photos on a Pinterest post when I looked up my venue and I loved his photography style. His style is natural with limited filters. Comparing him to other larger photo studios I interviewed, he actually read ahead the answers I already submitted and we could build our discussion from there versus redoing the questionnaire on the phone. That already indicated to me that he pays attention to detail. During our engagement and ultimately our wedding photo sessions, he made sure we felt comfortable and he gives very clear instructions on how he wanted you to pose. He made sure he captured every important moment and he kept us on track with the schedule as much as our coordinator did. Tom is a true professional at his craft and I will always recommend him to anyone who is looking for a photographer. We are so happy with how all of our photos turned out and we know that you will be too if you are able to hire him for your special day!

    Tom Forrest Photography

    We chose Tom as our wedding photographer because of the natural style of his work. He is professional, kind, and energetic. He is extremely responsive starting with the initial consultation to the wedding day and photo gallery delivery. Tom is a pleasure to work with and we had such a wonderful experience. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer for any occasion.

    Completely NAILED it!

    Tom was fabulous at executing our vision for our wedding photos. The pictures turned out beautiful and straight out of a magazine! Perhaps the best part of his service was his complete flexibility in meeting our unique needs; our wedding was slightly less traditional and shorter than most and Tom created a package for us for a great, fair price. I cannot recommend Tom Forrest Photography enough!

    Wonderful experience working with Tom

    We hired Tom at a recommendation of another photographer. He was professional and personable to work with leading up to the wedding and had great communication. He made it so easy to plan our timeline out.
    Tom was great to share the day with - our families and wedding party loved him! The photos he produced are all gorgeous and we are so happy with our choice for our photographer. I would recommend him to any couple getting married and we are hoping we can use him in the future for other photography needs.

    Captured our day perfectly!

    Tom was so amazing to work with for our big day! Throughout the process Tom was such a great communicator and responded very promptly. This made everything very stress free leading up to the wedding. The day of Tom and his assistant were so professional and did such a great job capturing our day. They were so easy to work with and made everything so fun! We just received our photos a week ago and could not be more pleased with them! He really captured the day so perfectly and we couldn’t have been happier with our wedding album! Every person we showed the album to was so amazed with how great the photos turned out! If you are looking for a great photographer for your big day, Tom is the person to hire!

    Most Talented and Friendly Photographer Around

    Tom is simply the best. As a video professional/photographer myself, I can tell you the quality of his work is top notch. After seeing his photos from my sister's wedding, I knew we had to have him for mine as well. He is very talented at finding beautiful light and he never misses a moment. He made everyone feel at ease for portraits and if you love candid moments, you simply have to go with Tom. On top of that, Tom has such a calming, friendly presence and it was a pleasure to have him with us on our wedding day.

    HIGHLY recommend

    Tom was an amazing photographer for both our wedding in 2020 and our postponed reception in 2021. In addition to the quality of his work, he was so accommodating and adaptable through anything from massive thunderstorms mid-shoot to major plan changes due to the pandemic. He made everything so easy for us and we're so happy with the results!

    Amazing experience

    Tom was so professional and fun to work with! I gave him only general locations for pictures, and he found the specific places that were beautiful. He made everyone feel comfortable and set a fun atmosphere to get everyone in the photo mood. I was worried about one of the locations (that I chose) not looking that great in pictures/having a bunch of cars in the background. But they turned out to be some of my favorites. And not a car in sight!! He made the details of my wedding look glamorous. Highly recommend!!

    Simply the best!

    Tom was incredibly easy to work with - he's professional, down-to-earth, resourceful, and not to mention super talented. Not only did we love working with him, but we received multiple compliments from family members that he made the formal portrait process smooth and seamless. Would recommend to anyone and everyone!

    Extremely Accommodating!

    Tom was wonderful to work with from first day we met. He answered all of our questions and then asked additional questions we didn’t even think of. Tom was very accommodating to our day of schedule and was flexible with attending to both the bridesmaids and groomsmen. The day of our wedding it poured all day - of course not ideal, but Tom quickly adapted to our new locations. He took industrial looking bridges and backgrounds and turned them into beautiful bridal photos. I had full trust in Tom and his ability to capture our day. Tom also captures every detail of our venue. This was very important to me and the pictures make you feel like you were at the reception! I received my suite of photos sooner than originally expected and love the story they tell.

    Exceptional!

    Hiring any wedding vendor can be overwhelming but we knew from the first time we met Tom that we wanted to hire him as our wedding photographer. Tom did an amazing job with our engagement photos but truly outdid himself for our wedding photos. His photography is stunning, creative, and beautiful. But the awesomeness doesn't stop there! He is exceptionally professional and so down-to-earth and welcoming. Our friends and family were commenting how impressed they were with Tom and that was before even seeing his photos! Tom was extremely reliable throughout the entire process and always available to answer questions. Photos are vital to capturing memories of such an important day and you can't go wrong hiring Tom!

    Best choice

    All of the 5* reviews here are accurate: we are SO happy with our decision to choose Tom as our wedding photographer. He was patient, friendly and easy to work with and he is extremely talented as a photographer. He helped relieve our stress leading up to the day with timelines and other planning issues. We got our pictures so fast and were blown away with how beautiful they are, and also how it seems he was “everywhere” but we didn’t even notice him on the wedding day. My mother is a former wedding photographer and she was very impressed by him and his work. Recommend for sure!

    Excellent photographer!!!

    Tom Forrest was amazing to work with - he was able to capture our relationship in photos that we will love forever. I'm so glad we trusted him with our big day - he did better than we could've hoped for. The amount of photos we received exceeded our expectations. He was professional, kind, made us feel at ease, and didn't get annoyed with my puppy during the day. I would recommend him to any one getting married and I will definitely use him again in the future for family photos, etc.

    Highly recommend!

    I can't say enough about how great Tom was as our wedding photographer! He was always quick to respond to emails and phone calls during the planning process, and he was a big help in setting the day-of schedule. For the wedding itself, Tom was professional, friendly, and a complete joy to have around us. My friends and family all agreed that he was great -- he was practically invisible when necessary but very welcoming and personable when interacting with us and guests. As for the pictures, Tom really delivered. We are thrilled with the candid and posed shots and how well he documented everything. Tom really is fantastic!

    The absolute best wedding photographer!

    Words cannot describe how absolutely AMAZING Tom Forrest was on our wedding day - Tom is incredibly kind, professional, talented, and more than you could even ask for in a photographer. Truly, because of Tom, our wedding day moved along SO smoothly, calmly, and as planned. The images he produced from our wedding are absolutely STUNNING - incredible attention to detail and the most high quality wedding photos I have ever seen. We already do, and will always continue to, sing Tom’s praises to everyone we know. Tom is THE wedding photographer!

    Tom photographed our wedding in August 2018. We loved working with Tom due to his professionalism, warmth, and good humor.

    Leading up to the wedding, Tom made the logistics easy for us and was very responsive. On the day of, Tom was adaptable when changes in timelines or locations arose, and he managed both small and large group portraits (nearly 30 people!) with ease. He also gave great directions that helped us to look our best in the photos.

    Tom beautifully captured so many special moments for us, and we have received endless compliments on his work. He even went the extra mile in accommodating a special editing request. We will treasure the photos Tom took of our wedding and recommend him highly.

    100% Recommended

    So professional, so nice, super easy going and really, really funny. He had our whole party laughing the whole time and we felt immediately at ease with him in the room. When we ran into a speed bump with another wedding party shooting at our location, he was cool, calm and collected and handled everything for us. Would hire him 100 times over and can't say enough about how wonderful he is. He knew all the ins and outs of our venue and had great recommendations for where to take photos and how to pose - I didn't have to worry about a thing. He takes lots of pictures and they all came out perfect. Thank you so much, Tom, for being such a great part of our day!
