A incredibly talented wedding photographer

From meeting Tom at a wedding fayre, we knew straight away he would be the perfect photographer to capture our wedding day. Tom's polite, relaxed and professional manner puts you at ease straight away. Tom's communication throughout the run up to the wedding has been fantastic. Building a rapport with Tom during our engagement shoot was a great idea and Tom got us feeling less anxious and more comfortable with being photographed. Tom's photography is second to none, he truely captures every detail, emotion and vision. We were lost for words when we received our engagement shoot and wedding photos back. As an extra Tom also plays your first dance song beautifully on the piano whilst you look through the first glimpse of your wedding photos. A truely wonderful thing! The timeliness of Tom's communication and receiving the photos is fantastic. Tom sent us a preview of three shots the day after our wedding and then the first glimpse preview with music two days after. Tom then informed us when the other photos would be available, on a very easy accessible app. You can tell how passionate Tom is about his job by his eagerness to show you sneak peeks of the amazing moments he has captured. If you are looking for a relaxed, happy and confident photographer who not only captures your day perfectly but fits into your wedding party, as if he is part of the family, look no further than Tom. We can't recommend Tom enough! Thank you again Tom! Claire and Nick

Our perfect day, [erfectly captured!

We honestly couldn’t have wished for a better photographer than Thomas Hare. From the very first chat, Tom was kind, genuine, and full of quiet confidence that instantly put us at ease. By the time we did our pre-wedding shoot, we didn’t just feel comfortable in front of his camera — we’d built a real connection. He made the whole experience feel effortless and personal, and we bonded with him so much that we invited him to the wedding as a full guest. It just felt right — he wasn’t just our photographer, he was part of our story. On the day itself, Tom was incredible. He moved through the moments with such care and instinct, capturing the laughter, the tears, and all the fleeting in-between bits that make a day truly ours. His calm, reassuring presence made everything feel natural, and our guests absolutely adored him. When we saw the photos, we were blown away. Each image feels alive — full of love, warmth, and emotion. He didn’t just take pictures; he captured how it felt to be there. Every time we look through them, we’re right back in those moments again. Tom, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for giving us memories we’ll treasure forever. You’re not only exceptionally talented — you’re a genuinely wonderful human being. We couldn’t recommend you more highly.

Flawless, imaginative, discreet photography and a charming, easy professionalism.

Tom was a genuine pleasure to have as our wedding photographer — a truly special presence on the day. He captured everything with imagination, nuance, fun, and complete discretion. For a very reasonable fee, Tom covered the entire wedding day from start to finish and also included a pre-shoot. This gave us both a set of beautiful photos and the invaluable chance to get to know him, which really helped us feel relaxed in front of the camera. His website was excellent, and having already seen his work at a friend’s wedding, we knew exactly what his style was. He was flexible in tailoring things to our wishes, always prompt in communication, and thoroughly professional, while also being approachable and direct. The gallery he produced was exceptional. Tom gave us a rich collection that perfectly characterised the day — portraits of each guest and group, wonderful images of the venue and setting, and an array of natural, candid moments between the two of us. His gift for capturing fleeting expressions, touches, and glances is remarkable; many photos left us wondering how he had managed to take them so discreetly. His technique is flawless, and he has a rare talent for finding joy, emotion, and significance in both the big moments and the smallest details, while also capturing the overall aesthetic beautifully. We would recommend Tom wholeheartedly to anyone

The most wonderful and perfect day

Tom made us feel that we were in safe hands from the first contact. We both hate having our picture taken but he made everything so easy and comfortable. We were blown away not just by the way he was with us, but by the care he took in capturing special moments and the way he also interacted with our guests. Everyone said how lovely he was. The sneak peak he sent us within a week of our wedding day was perfect and captured beautifully the laughter, joy and special moments. What made the slide show even more special was the music he played over the photos, a perfect mix of our first dance and the song I walked into. When we watch it we are flooded with beautiful memories of the day and it brings a lump to my throat still. Our full album has given us so many special pictures, we are delighted with them. Words cannot really tell how special our day was and Tom was an integral part of that day and has provided us with beautiful, lasting memories that we can treasure.

Delightful young man

If you are looking for a wedding photographer, then look no further. Tom is a delightful young man whose communication was excellent from the start. He even arranged for us to have a pre-wedding shoot so that we could all get to know each other before the big day. On the day of our wedding, he captured so many moments, and we weren’t even aware he was there most of the time. We can’t recommend him highly enough. Thankyou so much Tom.

Perfect.

Absolutely Brilliant, I'm not one for having my photo's taken but Tom was excellent I didn't know he was there and he made mine and my wife's wedding day perfect.

A pleasure to have around.

When we first met Tom we could already tell he could deliver the natural and “candid” style photos we were after. His pre-wedding shoot offered a good insight into how the process would go, and also produced lots beautiful photos. On our wedding day Tom seamlessly worked in the background to get stunning shots, and worked so well with us directly. His friendly and easy going attitude put us at ease and he was a pleasure to have around on our special day.

Nothing short of magical

From the moment Tom stepped in as our wedding photographer, the experience was nothing short of magical. His dedication to capturing our special moments was evident from the get-go. Not only did we have a delightful pre-wedding shoot, but the entire journey with Tom was seamless and filled with genuine care. Thank you, Tom, for the beautiful memories etched in time through your photographs.

Part of the family!

From first speaking to Tom, meeting him at the pre-wedding shoot, to having him with us at the wedding to getting our amazing images he has been part of the family! You instantly feel relaxed around him (which for two awkward people who really don't know how to pose, it was a welcoming feeling!). It's a weird concept that you invite a 'stranger' to such a huge occasion in your life but straight away you genuinely feel like you've known him for years.

Absolutely fantastic

If you are looking for a wedding photographer, then look no further. Tom is a delightful young man whose communication was excellent from the start. He even arranged for us to have a pre-wedding shoot so that we could all get to know each other before the big day. On the day of our wedding, he captured so many moments, and we weren’t even aware he was there most of the time. The huge selection of gorgeous photos that he sent, has given us, and our friends and family, lots of choice for prints and album photographs. He even played the piano whilst our guests were finishing their meal, which was really lovely. Tom is polite, friendly and so professional, and his prices are much more reasonable than most other local wedding photographers. We can’t recommend him highly enough. Thankyou so much Tom.

FAQs
Find out a bit more from our FAQs

What is your most memorable wedding?

Ellie & Ollie in 2023 - we had a beautiful spring/summer day in May. A folk band played Ellie down the aisle and finished the song right at the moment she arrived at the front. A beautiful ceremony in a huge church in Falmouth followed by a circus style street procession through Falmouth for cream teas and group shots. A wonderfully theatrical wedding for a truly 'one-of-a-kind- couple!

Describe your style in 5 adjectives.

Natural, relaxed, intimate, timeless, playful.

What about your business are you most proud of?

It sounds silly but I love how much my children (6 and 3) get involved. They visit me at wedding fairs, play weddings and wedding fairs at home and take a genuine interest. They wouldn't care as much if I didn't care so I see it as a reflection of how much I love what I do.

What is your No.1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Book me! Haha, seriously? Make it your day. Have what you want more than what you think you should have. Want to disappear for an hour to swim in the sea? Do it! It's your day, do what will make you happy.

What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?

Oh, so many little touches! Silver sixpences, fabric from their Grandmother's wedding dress, the list goes on. I can't pick my favourite because they were all uniquely special to each couple. The FOB bringing out a towbar in the middle of his speech was particularly memorable though!

Describe your typical process with a couple.

After the initial enquiry comes through (however that happens) we arrange a time to chat either on the phone, a video call, or meet up for a coffee. It's a chance to have a chat, ask/answer any questions and generally get a feel for whether we click or not (bad photography pun not intended!). I'm with you for a massive part of such a special day, we've got to get on and you need to be comfortable with me to make the day fun and easy!

What is the No.1 photo that you think every couple should take?

Not 1 specific photo but I do think that couples should give enough time to the couples photos. Partly because it's a window of time for you to spend some alone time, just the two of you (and me but I really try to be invisible and encourage the connection between you).

What is the most original photo you’ve been asked to take at a wedding?

So, we spotted a tyre swing on the beach (not original at all I know!) and I wanted to get a nice romantic shot of the bride on the swing with the groom behind. We got to the swing and it was a bit too dirty to risk a beautiful, white, silk dress on it. The groom then says "I'll get on it" and proceeds to leap onto the swing, nearly crashing into the bride who is holding both champagne glasses. The joy and fun in those photos make me smile every time I see them.

What do you recommend for a rainy day wedding?

It's Cornwall so we've always got to be prepared for rain, it's just a fact in this beautiful county. Have a plan B with any outdoor wedding, or just be prepared to embrace the rain. Get umbrellas (preferably a whole set that match) and don't let it spoil the day. Remember - nothing has happened to you until you react to it.

Describe how you got into photography.

I was 8 and we had a school trip to France. We never really did holidays (especially not abroad) when I was a child so this was a big thing for me. I had a basic little film camera bought for me to take and I loved snapping away in the streets of Quimper. What I realised is that those pictures were like a magical link back to those memories; there was a house covered in plates and because I had a photo of it I can remember walking up to it with my friends and the fact that we were doing a trail... Anyway, a single photo can unlock a whole story and make it real again. To me that is magic.
