approach

My objective is simple: to capture the most beautiful and meaningful images of your wedding -- beyond even what you've imagined. I find this beauty in a variety of ways and places, using a natural and unobtrusive approach. It's the power of life's biggest moments -- captured in a series of unique images that will keep those moments alive for a lifetime.

To do this, I work in a variety of styles, which we call Documentary Coverage. I shoot mostly in a true photojournalistic style, looking for all of the elements of the day you've worked so hard to plan. When doing portraits and groups, we work quickly and efficiently, all the while taking care to keep the process fun for all involved. We'll talk in detail with you before the wedding day, to make sure that we know how you want the day to go. We know that more important than seeing the day as our photo shoot, is remembering that it is your wedding day…and doing everything to ensure that it's perfect for you.

I have worked hard for years at staying ahead of every big curve in photography. Our studio was among the first to employ a computerized design system for our clients' albums; we started to include unlimited coverage of our wedding days long before it was common; and we've never, ever counted photos in order to hit a preset limit. We've done all these things and more because of a basic philosophy of providing the very best service we can, knowing that there will never be a second chance to make it right. We understand that most of our clients have little experience in hiring a photographer, so it's our responsibility to know all the things that you may only know the day after the wedding!

As with most things, there are very real differences among photographers - in their style, their experience, the quality of their equipment, their attention to what you want... and in the results they deliver.

We believe we are the best choice for discerning couples who want the finest quality photography and service, as well as the best value. Arrange a meeting with us and we will be happy to show you how our approach results in beautiful, memorable, high-impact images; at the same time, you'll see the tremendous value you'll receive at Tom Wall Photography.
