We started planning our special day about 2 years out, and William Thomas Photography was one of the first vendors we confirmed! Every time we spoke on the phone or communicated through the phone, it was an even bigger testament to knowing we chose the right vendor. We did our engagement shoot with Billy, and our special day was perfectly captured thanks to the team. We knew the entire day would be a breeze having them by our side. They talked us through our timeline, made amazing suggestions and helped put us at ease the entire day. We received so many compliments from our guests "the editing style is the best they have ever seen" to "they blended in perfectly as if they were a part of the party themselves, and still were able to capture intimate and candid moments the entire day". We were blown away by the speedy turn around of receiving our albums (a little over a month!) They were professional and helpful and again, we are thrilled to have chosen the best vendor for the job. -

Photography and videography was a really important part of our wedding day other than venue. We did a lot of research and loved Billy's photography style. We booked him to do our engagement shoot. We had a phone conversation and Billy was so friendly, caring and personable we knew that this was the start of something really special. During our engagement shoot, he made us (and our dog!) feel so comfortable. The pictures came out amazing; so creative, unique and captivating. This made us so excited for Billy to shoot our wedding day.
Our wedding day came around and, we didn't think it was possible, but our wedding day was even better than our engagement shoot. We are confident our wedding day photos are going to come out amazing.
Billy is a genuine and kind person. He has a real passion for the work that he does and it shows in everything he does. He made our day so special not just with his photography, but with his personality as well. We are so grateful to have had Billy as part of our special day.
Special shout out to Maggie and Greg as well, who were supportive and on top of everything our whole wedding day as well.
Cannot wait for future events as we will definitely have Billy there to further capture those special moments in our lives.

Gemma Sent on 05/03/2024Stunning photographs and incredible customer service
Billy & team (we had Adam) were truly delightful to work with. Leading up to and on the day itself they really contributed to the positive energy.
They went out of their way to learn our families names and help them feel comfortable, which was really meaningful.
Our photos are breathtaking - I have shared a few but note our bridal party was kids and a dog (I have not shared the photo of the children for privacy reasons) but notoriously the most difficult to work with and they made it seem like a walk in the park. We feel really fortunate to have found them and COULD NOT recommend this team anymore. They put an artistic spin into the photographs which helps it feel like art. We can't wait to proudly show of our photos for the rest of our lives.
A heartfelt thank you to Billy & Adam for being part of our day.

Alyssa Sent on 02/03/2024Amazing Photographer!
Billy and his team were absolutely incredible and we would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for wedding/engagement/event photography. He is timely, very communicative, flexible, and went above and beyond during the entire process. We had a specific aesthetic we wanted to capture, a mix of candid, editorial, and film, and Billy executed it flawlessly. We had a winter wedding, which was held primarily indoors and he was able to make indoor lighting look beautiful. We met billy on our engagement shoot which was great that he offers the session because you get to know each other and get comfortable in front of the camera so you are prepared on your wedding day. Day of, our wedding planner unfortunately came down with an illness, and Billy and his team really rose to the occasion on making sure our timelines were properly executed. Billy is not only talented, but his personality is extremely warm, patient and kind. He is used to working within all different constraints, pivots and managing family/friend dynamics which was very helpful in corralling large groups of people. His team (Mike and Greg) were also amazing to work with and we could not be happier with how our photos turned out. Hire Billy, he is the best wedding photographer in the NY area! -

Eric Sent on 12/27/2023Dream come true
If you’re able to you should definitely hire William Thomas Photography for your wedding! No need to scroll through wedding websites for other photographers, you’ve found everything you’ve been looking for. Adam was our lead photographer and he was patient, kind and incredibly talented. Patrick was equally wonderful. The photos are truly stunning. We are still in shock. We had an amazing time at our engagement shoot as well. Adam met us at our desired location and took very creative shots that made our shoot really pop. He made us feel comfortable which to me is the one of the most important factors in hiring a photographer. He made it easy for us to express our love to each other in front of the camera. On our wedding day Adam and Patrick arrived early and stayed until the very end of the party. Adam helped make our day of schedule and kept us on time to get every photo we wanted. They brought lots of equipment to bring the drama to the indoor photos that are making all of our friends and family gasp. We received our wedding photos faster than expected and their gallery website is really user friendly. We love them and would hire them again instantly for any event in our future. -

Meg S. Sent on 12/22/2023A Wedding Photographer Beyond Perfection!
I recently had the pleasure of working with Billy from William Thomas Photography for my wedding, and I cannot express how grateful and impressed I am with his exceptional services. From start to finish, he went above and beyond to capture the essence of our special day, making it an unforgettable experience for us and our guests.
Right from our initial meetings, it was evident that Billy was not just a professional but someone who truly cared about making our day perfect. His thoughtfulness, attention to detail, and organizational skills ensured that every moment was beautifully documented. What set him apart was his ability to seamlessly become a part of our day, feeling more like family than just a hired vendor.
One of the standout qualities of this photographer was his understanding of our unique wedding vibe. He grasped the essence of our celebration immediately, turning each photo into a testament to the personal touch he brought to his work. Whether we were strolling through Central Park or adventuring downtown on the subway, he embraced the spontaneity of our day, resulting in some of the most memorable shots.
Our family and guests couldn't stop raving about him either. His warm personality and professional approach left a lasting impression on everyone. It's rare to find a photographer who not only captures moments but contributes positively to the overall atmosphere of the event.
And let's talk about the photos - they are nothing short of AMAZING! Billy’s talent and creativity shine through in every shot. He has an incredible knack for framing moments that evoke emotion and tell a story. The composition, lighting, and editing were all spot-on, producing a stunning collection of images that we will cherish for a lifetime.
If you're in the process of planning your special day, do yourself a favor and hire William Thomas Photography. Trust me; it will be one of the best decisions you make. His dedication to perfection, genuine passion for his craft, and the ability to capture the essence of your unique love story will undoubtedly make your wedding day even more perfect. Thank you, Billy turning our special day into a work of art! -

Chelsea Sent on 12/22/2023Say Yes To William Thomas Photography!
Billy from William Thomas Photography is an absolute rockstar! His professionalism and direction were beyond impressive. Wrangling everyone together and guiding us through unique, aesthetically cool poses made the photo session a breeze—no boring poses in sight!
What sets Billy apart is his keen eye for detail. He made sure to capture every moment flawlessly, even navigating around phones to ensure they didn't sneak into the shots. Our evening wedding, with its dark-themed aesthetic, had me concerned about the lighting, but Billy worked his magic. The photos turned out to be a perfect reflection of the evening, capturing the vibe flawlessly.
We are over the moon with how our photos turned out. Billy accommodated every request, making the entire experience truly amazing. If you're on the lookout for a photographer who not only meets but exceeds expectations, William Thomas Photography is the way to go. Cannot recommend him enough – he did not disappoint! -

They really exceeded my expectations. I don't love being photographed but they made it feel so easy and natural.

Melinda Sent on 04/27/2022Stepped in last minute and were amazing!
Billy and Mike stepped in after our original photography cancelled on us less than 2 months before our wedding. Mike was our photographer on the day, and was so much fun to work with. He made all of us feel comfortable, and took the most amazing photos. I didn't know we could look that good! He captured the fun essence of the day and I am so happy that we found William Thomas Photography. The pictures came out better than I could have ever imagined. Book them! -

I highly recommend Billy & his team! I loved working with them - they are the loveliest and most professional team. The photos I received were out of this world. I had my photos done throughout the streets of NYC, and Billy was able to capture the exact mood/vibe we were going for. They were absolutely perfect. -

Maggie and her team were an absolute dream to work with on our wedding day. She and her colleagues were calm, reassuring, professional and fun! Somehow Maggie was always there for special moments without her presence being obvious or distracting. So many of our friends and family have already remarked at how amazing our wedding photographs are --- we are very grateful! -

Marissa Sent on 07/09/2021It's like having your very best friend take your photos.
Billy and the entire team at William Thomas Photography go so far above and beyond for their clients. Every single part of the process is handled with such care and kindness from the very first phone call to sending you the photo gallery. They are super personable, thoughtful, and just genuinely warm people.
The level of organization they have is incredible, with quick and easy detail forms to fill out, asking all of the right questions, and even helping with timelines and other things you might be unsure about. The pre-event communication was clear, efficient, and incredibly fast.
On the big day, the team is incredibly professional while also making everyone super comfortable, sticking to the timeline, and of course, scoping out all of the perfect shots. And, they make sure you're having fun AND that you have everything you need! We didn't feel stressed a single moment of the day.
When we got our photos back, it genuinely looked like the photos were taken by our closest friend with how well they captured all of our best angles, our love for each other, and our personalities. Every photo just felt so unique to us. There was nothing cookie-cutter about it. The locations and positions were dreamy and natural. The colors were bold, and brilliant and beautiful. Every single small detail was perfectly captured.
I could go on. But all in all, they are truly just the best and we are so thrilled to have worked with them! -

Victoria Sent on 06/25/2021The BEST Decision You Could Make
Truly the BEST in the business. I would get married again just to have Billy as my photographer. Billy, Maggie, Mike and Adam were an absolute DREAM to work with, going above and beyond what you would expect of your photography team. Not only is the team so incredibly talented, with an unrivaled eye for photography and a unique style of wedding photography, but they are lovely, wonderful people that you would want to be surrounded by on your wedding day. We postponed our wedding twice and Billy offered to get on the phone with vendors and help us re-plan, and on the day of the wedding, traffic caused us to run late and he was on it and prepared with a game plan before we even arrived. It felt as if Billy was our second maitre d and he made the day seamless. He and his team truly make you feel special and comfortable, and they make it fun! Billy's warm and genuine nature is infectious, and our friends, family, guests, and other vendors raved about working with the team. We can't recommend William Thomas Photography enough!! -

Billy was the first wedding photographer I spoke to, and from our first phone conversation I knew I wanted to hire him. He is incredibly warm, funny, and genuinely kind. He made my husband and I feel comfortable throughout the entire process, and he was a hit with everyone at our wedding. I just finalized our proofs for our album and prints, and I cannot wait to see them in person. Thank you to Billy and Mike for capturing the most incredible moments throughout our wedding weekend! -

One of the best decisions we made during our wedding planning process (if not the very best) was choosing William Thomas Photography to capture our day! Billy and Maggie are incredibly talented and professional, and were extremely supportive throughout the wedding planning process and on our wedding day. My family, friends, and all of our wedding guests loved working with them, and we absolutely LOVE our wedding photos!

Billy, Mike and Greg worked with us for our 9/29/19 Montauk wedding. There really are not enough words and stars to review Billy and his team. From the moment we saw Billy’s work on instagram we fell in love. He doesn’t just take wedding pictures, he creates ART out of your wedding. From the first email (that was answered within minutes) and our first phone call, we knew we couldn’t have our wedding without him and his radiant personality. We filled him in on our love story, how we met, how we got engaged, why we love Montauk so much, and all about our vision for our day. Fast forward to months later at our 5AM engagement session. He turned two overtired people and my camera shy fiancé into completely comfortable, photogenic people, and it didn’t even feel like a photo shoot. It just felt like we were hanging out for a few hours. When he told us to dance for a photo and could see how awkward we felt, he played our first dance song on his phone which was so awesome. We kept in touch (about Star Wars and our cats mostly, lol) until the wedding, and the wedding day was just perfect. Beforehand Billy was real with us about our timeline - he wanted to make sure we knew that without a first look we wouldn’t be able to do quite as much, but in NO way did he try to push that on us at all. He was just being realistic, but I’ll tell you that even with our tight timeline we ended up with breathtaking, once in a lifetime shots (OVER 2100 OF THEM). He and his team also helped with tasks throughout the day - carrying my bouquet, showing me how to carry my train, etc. and even took a selfie with my mother in law lol. Everyone loved him. He cried with us, laughed with us, sang some favorite songs with us, and bottom line created magic for us. It is evident that Billy and his team love what they do, and we simply could NOT have imagined our day without Billy, Mike and Greg. Thank you times a million!!!!!!
All of our love,
Allie & Sean -

Caitlyn Sent on 09/26/2019Could NOT have asked for better!
Billy,
Where do I begin? Let me start by saying THANK YOU x a million to you and Mike for being the best of the best! On a day that can be chaotic and unpredictable, you went above and beyond, not only as a photographer, but as a friend & someone who knows the wedding business. You kept us organized and on time and made sure to capture all the things that meant the most to us.
We met Billy last year to do our engagement photos (after a phone conversation) and he did not let us down when we met him a few weeks later. He was super friendly, relaxed, approachable and so warm, and made us feel so comfortable. Our engagement picture day was a bit cold so we definitely needed some coaching and pep talks and Billy did JUST that. He was patient with us and helped us get into a groove and our pictures were true perfection. His style is exactly what we wanted and I had a hard time narrowing down which picture to use for our save the dates. Fast forward to our wedding day, and he did it again. Having a 16 person bridal party, 2 kids in the mix, mothers, fathers, step parents, etc and an anxious bride and groom can be a lot to handle. Billy and his brother Mike stuck by our side from morning until the guests had left. They were energetic, funny, encouraging, and super professional. I felt like we were shooting with friends we've known for a decade. I can't wait to see the wedding pictures and if they are anything like our engagement photos, I know we will be over the moon. I would highly recommend Billy (William Thomas Photography) to anyone looking for beautiful photos, a great team, and a fun experience with a team who will ultimately become life long friends. We loved working with you Billy and will definitely work with you again in the future. Thank you for everything! We can't wait to see the final result!!!! -

Billy,
To start off, we want to say another thank you to you and your team. We had such an amazing time and we hope you, Michael, and Greg had a great time too!
The three of you made the day so easy for the two of us and our families. You brought a positive and cheerful vibe to the day that kept us all going! You were so helpful and kind to everyone, and at the same time, you were able to firmly direct the crowd for all of our photos. You executed precisely and helped make sure the day ran on time. We haven’t seen the photos yet, but we know that they will be great! Honestly, your energy alone made the day so special, and we wanted to let you know! Please share this feedback with your entire team as you were all so amazing. -

Maggie was the lead photographer for our wedding on 06/22/2019. She is such a sweet person and incredibly talented. Maggie and her team were there all day making sure we got the shots we wanted and then some!
Billy was an absolute pleasure to work with. He was always available and willing to help. We emailed him 1 week before the wedding to add a videographer for the wedding day and he was more than accomdating and made it happen for us. We are truly so grateful for their entire team! -

Irene Sent on 06/25/2019Perfect Photgrapher!!
Finding the perfect photographer for our EPIC day was the hardest task. I had gotten many recommendations from others that Michael and I just didn't seem to quite mesh with 100%. I started doing my research and by chance came across Billy's website. It was the best luck I have had! From the start Billy has made the process easy and fun. Our families were amazed by our pre-wedding photo session and we are looking forward to seeing how our wedding photos come out. Billy and Maggie were there from the start of our wedding day till the very end, they were working non-stop and everyone at the wedding told me no matter who asked for a photo they happily took them. It was such a wonderful experience to work with Billy and his team. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a stress free experience which is hard to find when planning a wedding!! -

Cassandra Sent on 01/14/2019The Best Wedding Photographer's Out There!
I hired Billy and Mike from William Thomas Photography for my wedding day (11/16/2018) and I am so glad I did. On the actual wedding day itself, both Billy and Mike were amazing to work with. I honestly can't say enough about this duo.
I think what was most important to me was that they let myself and my partner have our moments. Though they were so helpful and provided support and guidance throughout the day, I never felt that they were "in the ceremony" with us. During our first look prior to the ceremony, they stood close by with their cameras as my partner and I laughed and cried as we saw each other for the first time that day. When we got our pictures back and I went through the ceremony shots I thought "How did they get that shot, I don't even remember seeing them there!" They captured every single moment of the day, and somehow still let us enjoy our moments without feeling intruded upon.
During the day, Mike and Billy kept us on time and organized without being overly pushy. They gave us great direction and created some really beautiful shots (both posed and candid). Our portrait shots, our ceremony shots, and our reception shots all came out beautiful. They captured some photos of friends and family I had specifically requested and included a bunch more beautiful shots I hadn't even know I wanted. Our photos are stunning and I know my partner and I will treasure them for years to come.
Oh and one more thing! Billy and Mike were fun! The wedding day itself can feel very stressful and very rushed and I have to say, Billy and Mike made sure I had fun. They weren't stoic, rushed, photographers, only intent on getting the shot. Instead, they were really friends to me and my partner that day, checked in regularly to see how we were doing, and made us laugh along the way. They are amazing and worth every penny! -

Alexis Sent on 12/03/2018Incredible photographer and creative genius!!!
Working with Billy was a dream come true. He is super sweet, laid back and funny so he really made us feel at ease on our special day! His work is incredible and he is extremely creative. We were planning on taking majority of our photos outdoors at Wave Hill in the garden, but since it rained that wasn't possible. Billy still managed to capture the most beautiful and intimate shots of us and our gallery was everything we could have hoped for and more. He took such cool shots of us in the greenhouse and captured beautiful, intimate and fun shots of us and our family and friends all night long. We highly recommend having Billy as your event photographer and can't thank him enough for documenting our special day so perfectly!
