Tom Ellis Photography

Tom took our wedding pictures August 2021 at Ray's Boat House in Seattle. He was wonderful to work with. Tom knew the venue well and made several suggestions on nearby locations for our wedding couple pictures, which we gladly accepted. Tom has a calmness about him and made the picture taking stress-free. He has a great talent for taking candid pictures as he moved invisibly through the dinner and reception. His pictures captured the emotions and enjoyment of our wedding, and we will forever treasure our pictures. Thanks Tom!

I simply cannot think of a more professional, heartwarming, wonderful photographer than Tom Ellis. I am SO HAPPY that I decided to reach out to him, for a surprise engagement photoshoot. Tom really made our day special, and I look forward to hiring him for our wedding as well! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Tom, if you're in the PNW area.

Tom was wonderful, and our photos were once in a life time! Thanks again Tom and everyone book him!

Tom was great. We selected him for our July 2021 wedding and for our engagement photos and he did a great job! All throughout the process Tom was exceptionally responsive. He responded to practically all of our emails within an hour even after 10 PM! He was able to touch up and share our wedding photos in less than a week which was such a treat. On the day of our wedding, Tom worked for 8 hours non-stop. He collected all of the photos we specified and had a knack for always being in the right place to photograph the action!

Tom was amazing to work with, we were planning on an elopement and he worked well with us on ironing out the details before hand. The day of the wedding Tom was not afraid to go hiking up a mountain with us, and his pictures turned out lovely.

Tom is the best. He is very attentive to details and makes sure to capture ALL of the photos that are most important along with a ton more that you will LOVE. You will not regret hiring Tom as your photographer.

Tom did an exceptional job of meeting us where we were as we struggled to make our wedding happen in the midst of the pandemic. He pivoted his whole business model to create options for people in our circumstance and it would not have worked out otherwise. All communication and follow up has been exceptional. On the day of our ceremony, he was extremely flexible and creative in how he used the available spaces to create beautiful posed photographs which we and our families will treasure. His narrative photos of our outdoor - pandemic conscious picnic are treasures as well. He was safe, we were safe, and no one got sick at our wedding. Tom is the best.

I cannot say enough good things about Tom and his senior pictures. I reached out to him and needed pictures fairly quickly. He was responsive and helpful in finding a day and time when the weather would be good. He connected really well with my senior, who was reluctant to having pictures taken, and as a result, was able to get a lot of really great shots of her.

His demeanor was perfect for her and while they were chatting, he was always looking for good light for another picture. The entire experience was easy and professional. I would recommend him anytime.

Tom is our dream photographer. Since the beginning he was prompt to reply and extremely courteous. He gave us extra tips and things to think about even when we didn't know what we wanted or what questions to ask. He was very patient and every few months continued to check in with us. Although, I told him he was the first person I contacted and intended to shop around he was nothing but cordial and encouraging.

In the end, we didn't end up booking with Tom simply because we had a smaller budget but Tom was very gracious and tried extremely hard to work with us and customize a package. I would highly recommend Tom not simply because he does beautiful work but also because his customer service was top notch. Thank you Tom, we appreciate every time you contacted us and all the wisdom you shared!

Wedding photos much better than expected! Completely positive experience. Selfless regarding COVID risks but happy to abide our expectations. Very fast turnaround despite print service delay from COVID. Tom made a beautiful surprise slideshow that was perfect to share with all our guests before receiving the thumb drive and hard copies.

Tom has been wonderful to work with. He is very communicative, informative and responsive. We've been talking about the photo shoot and planning to the detail months before the wedding. Tom had recommendations and suggestions and was very open to our ideas since we wanted a personalized photo shoot. It was a really good feeling to know the photos will look great before even seeing them just from seeing Tom's effort to make the best of each photo. He was detailed and helped us through the process and made us feel really comfortable. We really recommend Tom and think he is a professional!

Excellent photographer, great communication and quick turnaround on photos! I would highly recommend Tom, he did an amazing job capturing our wedding!

My family and I were scheduled for a first visit to Seattle. We wanted to really enjoy all of the beautiful areas throughout Seattle. I reached out to Tom Ellis Photography just to inquire and beg by chance that he could assist us with a family photo shoot. Tom was not only quite informative, but his overall guidance made our experience way above and beyond what we could have expected.

He selected the perfect areas to photograph the three of us and kept me well informed on the weather conditions and always had a Plan B just in case. Everything has turned out beautiful the pictures were provided to us within a few days and the overall experience was phenomenal. Thank You Mr. Ellis, your attention to detail is amazing and we are so proud of every photo you provided!

Tom was our wedding photographer and we were thrilled with his work! Tom was patient, calm, and upbeat. He coached us through posing, and helped us find places with great lighting and background. During the reception, Tom took tons of amazing shots of our family and friends - and he did so without seeming intrusive. He obviously put a lot of time and effort into editing the photographs, and the finished product looked very professional and flattering. We will treasure them forever!

Tom is literally amazing. Meaning that we are amazed by the photographs we got back from our wedding. He caught the most fantastic images of first dance including a perfectly framed image of the dip/kiss at the end of our dance and we didn't even tell him we were doing a choreographed dance. We had a morning (10:30am) ceremony so we really had the opportunity to see his artistic talents with lighting that made the morning/ceremony seem as though it were smiled upon by the heavens. I've never felt beautiful in any photograph taken of me until I got our pictures back from Tom.

Beyond the fact that we got amazing photographs, Tom was a joy to work with. He is spot on and just a fun and friendly individual. My husband hates having his picture taken and he even had to admit to me that it was fun to do pictures with Tom. We were originally thinking we wouldn't get a photographer for our wedding as we have a couple friends/family members that are handy with cameras, but I'm so glad we decided to get Tom instead.

He is well worth every penny he very reasonably charges for his services. We planned long distance and I'm an annoying logical person so I was very happy with the way his website actually has answers to many of the common (and less common) wedding photography questions. He is also incredibly helpful and responsive if we had any questions not covered by his website. It truly was a pleasure having him there and we will be forever grateful to him for capturing our day.

Tom did our wedding photos in 2013, and left us with beautiful photos. So, now that we have our first little one, we knew exactly who to call when we wanted to have our first official family photos taken this fall (11/2015) Tom is professional, creative and talented. He makes everything easy and low key-- just the kind of person you want photographing a wedding. :-) He has a great deal of knowledge about his craft, and was able to point us to awesome locations and give us clear and simple directions, so that even my shy to smile in photos husband looks natural and has a great smile in every photo. Tom will certainly be our go-to photographer from here on out. All in all, great photos, highly recommended.

Tom is the consummate professional. We are so pleased and would encourage anyone looking for a wedding photographer to choose Tom; you will not go wrong. He has a keen eye for color, detail, locations, and pretty much captured all of our wedding. A great sense of humor kept us on our toes and laughing. His style is effortless. HIRE TOM! LOVE LOVE LOVE HIS WORK. David and Sarah

Tom was absolutely wonderful to work with for our wedding. We originally booked him for our engagement photos to see if we liked his work, and based on the quality of the photos and ease of working with him, we were excited to have him shoot our wedding! He has so many tips and tricks from his years of experience that helped our day go smoothly. Working with him, we were able to follow our timeline and budget. One year later, at our request, he made us an additional wedding album for our parents. I highly recommend Tom to anyone looking for a professional photographer.

Tom is awesome! He did a fantastic job photographing my wedding. He captured so many wonderful moments. I would highly recommend him!

Finding someone to capture your most memorable day may be one of the most draining decisions of the wedding planning process! You want someone who is responsive, will make you feel at ease and confident and that is what we got with Tom. He has multiple wedding packages, offered multi-location photo shoots, encouraged us to have a list of photos that we wanted and then added his own magical touches that make the photo memories of our day ones that we will always treasure.
