I honestly expected to end up with just a few photos I’d want to print, but there were so many favorites that I had to have a photo album made. I’ve looked through them probably a hundred times by now, and they still bring tears to my eyes.🥹🥰

He’s quick, professional, and somehow captures genuine smiles and sweet moments without it feeling forced. We’ve always received our photos back quickly, and they’re always beautiful. Highly recommend if you’re looking for someone who will make family pictures feel painless while giving you photos you’ll actually want to display around your home. Can’t recommend him enough!

My husband and I used Tim Toms Photography for our wedding video and we love how our wedding video turned out. He did an incredible job of capturing our special day and creating a beautiful video that our family will cherish for years to come. Tim was organized, easy to work with, and had excellent communication throughout the entire process. Tim truly went above and beyond to ensure every moment was perfectly captured. We highly recommend Tim Toms Photography for any wedding photography or videography needs. My husband and I are deeply grateful for all his hard work and the beautiful memories he has helped us preserve.

Working with Tim Toms was great! We had several requests I wasn’t sure would work, and they made it happen for me! Our day of photographers were Kenna and Hailey, both of them were so talented. We could tell first thing that morning, that they truly have a passion for their work and are meant to be photographers. Immediately upon arrival as they were making their way to meet up with us, we could see them eyeing spots and pointing out potential options. The whole day they were incredibly organized, staying on schedule and still hitting EVERY photo on their list. They were great at taking in-the-moment requests as well as just seeing great opportunities and going for it. I am so glad we chose Tim Toms and so grateful to Kenna and Hailey for perfectly capturing our most important day. We will forever cherish our photos.
