We were ready to give Tom a 5 star review even before we received the photos! The incredible photos that perfectly captured the moment were the cherry on top. It absolutely poured at our wedding and Tom was integral in making us feel at ease and natural in front of a camera (we don't ever get photos taken). The photos took our breath away. Our friends said they were the best wedding photos they'd ever seen. They really showed how much fun we had and how in love we are. Tom was the best vendor we booked for our wedding and we would recommend him to everyone.

One of the best decisions I made on my wedding day (aside from marrying my husband, of course) was getting to work with Tom Schelling Photography.

I remember searching for wedding photographers online and feeling exhausted as they all seemed to blend together. When I saw Tom's websites, I immediately perked up – I loved how his photos truly captured who these couples were, whether in small intimate moments or pictures which captured their sense of humor. I was so excited when Tom said he was available to shoot our wedding!

Not only is Tom Schelling an incredible photographer, but he has a truly calming energy. In the lead-up to our wedding, we had numerous conversations where he helped with everything from advice on how to find small moments amidst the hecticness, to helping us plan a schedule for the day itself, to working alongside our other vendors to make sure we had enough time for all photos before the wedding started without ever feeling rushed. Tom was always available to answer all of my last-minute questions, and it truly was a joy to have those initial planning meetings with him.

On the day of our wedding, Tom and his incredible wife Heather arrived early, and from the beginning thought of so many photo ideas beyond what we had planned before. Tom and Heather have such a beautiful eye for detail. I LOVE our photos. They made our family and friends truly relaxed, cracked jokes, and added to the overall happiness of the day. Our pictures truly capture our wedding and our family and our friends in moments big and small throughout the day. Tom would snatch us away throughout the night to sneak off and take photos which took full advantage of the environment. One photo comes to mind: my husband and I on the rooftop of our venue in downtown New York with the pink sun setting behind us.
That shot– and a hundred more which felt off-the-cuff– were planned beforehand. I feel so fortunate because those ended up being some of my favorite of the night.

I would encourage you 100% to work with Tom Schelling Photography. We are so glad that we did!

I don’t know where to start with him. Having a wedding while also being in the events industry for work made choosing Tom as our photographer an easy yes. It was easily the best decision we made for vendors. He is someone I will confidently send our clients to for the rest of time. I first searched through every bridal group looking for a photographer that “made photos look like they were the day on pause, as if they could move in an instance” that meant clear, clean, and real to me! I didn’t want over edits even though I do love everyone’s unique stylistic choices. As far as his craft goes, he does just that! Everything felt so organic and real with him. The photos capture all the happy, And all the special that the day brought. We had been married over a year already on our wedding day, so we feared that it wouldn’t feel as special. But Tom helped us to ease that fear! Honestly, I’m in awe of him. He made everything so special. From the very first meeting, everything he did was intentional and thoughtful. He surprised us, romanticized our wedding and wedding planning experience. He fit seamlessly in the day with us, which was so important to us from the very beginning. I don’t want to ruin all the little surprises that he tucks into your experience with him, but just know that you can absolutely trust him. He will enhance that day and your experience. He is an expert and is 100% worth every dollar spent to have him there. He will feel like a friend attending, while also bringing his expertise with him. My husband and I don’t love being in front of the camera, but we never felt like we were with Tom. The pictures made us both laugh hysterically and cry hysterically. Okay now the sad part… our doggy was at our wedding, but she was sick with congestive heart failure. She had the best day, and it actually was her last really good day. Tom captured her in her prime. By the time the pictures arrived, we had lost her. She was our best pal. The pictures Tom took are our favorite. They healed our broken hearts a little bit. Just trust him. He was the BEST pick.
