    Most importantly, Peter is an incredible photographer who captures truly beautiful moments! He's extremely professional, accommodating, and easy to work with. It was apparent that Peter loves what he does by the big smile he had on his face the entirety of our reception! Thank you, Peter!

    Peter was truly fantastic to work with throughout our whole wedding process. His personality and shooting style made my husband and I both feel so comfortable and at ease which really shined through in the moments he was able to capture at our wedding. We were beyond pleased with the final product and will treasure his photos forever. Peter is professional, got our photos back to us quickly, and was a pleasure to work with.

    From the first time we met Peter, all the way through our engagement photos and wedding, he always made us feel comfortable. There wasn't any of that awkward feeling of trying to share an intimate moment with a stranger on the other end of the camera, he has a natural talent for that. He made such a great personal connection with us, by the time our wedding rolled around, we felt as if he would have been a guest had he not been the photographer. One of my favorite memories of that night was taking a step back from everything at the reception and having a bite of late night pizza with Peter, just soaking it all in.

    We had actually booked a different photographer for engagement photos until we saw Peter's work and quickly changed our minds and I am BEYOND happy we did. His photos are absolutely beautiful. He made it a priority to find out who our "VIP" family members/friends were and captured many photos of them. I truly think Peter's work captured every emotion of our wedding day (his candids are my absolute favorite). I keep trying to think of excuses to use him again! I would recommend Peter to anyone looking to capture something special. He is simply amazing.

    Great photographer

    Peter and his assistant were very prompt, efficient, and took great photos. Great ideas for poses photos and did a fabulous job of capturing the little moments that meant so much at the end of the day.

    My husband and I are thrilled that we chose Peter for our engagement and wedding photos. Peter and his assistant went well beyond our expectations. I tend to be very awkward or stiff when photographed, but he really helped me to be more natural. I didn't perceive I was being photographed and the pictures reflect this. He was also very prompt in sharing our photos. I expected to wait 4-6 weeks as the summer is busy, but we received them in 2 weeks. Peter is truly an amazing photographer with an amazing ability to capture the natural moments and the emotions felt by us and our guests. At the end, I had hundreds of pictures to look through and I am happy with them all. I would highly recommend using Peter Wynn Thompson Photography!

    We used Peter for our engagement photos and wedding on June 11, 2016. There are not enough amazing words to describe Peter and his work. He was wonderful to work with and has a phenomenal personality. It felt like we were working with a friend that we knew forever. His photographs are true works of art that my husband and I will treasure forever. I wanted our engagement photos at my family’s summer home in Michigan and thought I would need to find someone in the area. Peter didn’t hesitate to offer to drive to Michigan to take our photos. He was also extremely accommodating with being available for meetings, questions through e-mail or on the phone. He did the perfect job of capturing my vision on my wedding day, and I can’t wait to work with him on future life moments. When it came to Peter designing our wedding photo album, I was truly blown away by the final layout. I literally cannot stop looking at the gorgeous photos placed in a perfect layout over the pages. Peter is the photographer to go with for all of your wedding needs!

    Highly recommend! Working with Peter is such a joy! We used him for both engagement and wedding photo. We got to know him very well through multiple meet-up discussions we had with him, and he worked with us directly to plan out all the details of our day. He set realistic expectations with us on what would be feasible to do for wedding party, family and individual photos. He also came up with locations at and around the venue for where we could shoot at. In the end, his photos go well beyond what you normally see from wedding photography. All of my friends and family were so amazed at the beautiful shots he captured. Overall, I have a 100 different photos that I want to frame and not enough space for it! So glad we made the decision to go with him; well worth the price.

    I told Peter when we met with him initially that, after my now husband, he was the second most important person at the wedding. Peter understood that, by that, I meant that photography was crucially important to the success of our big day, and he could not have impressed me more with the shots that he took. He is so kind and easy to work with, and his creative eye made my wedding photos everything I ever imagined. We also had Peter take our engagement photos, and those were nothing short of spectacular. Peter was my absolute favorite vendor for my wedding, and I hope we will have an opportunity to work with him again. Love love love Peter!

    Peter is an amazing photographer - our wedding photos and album are stunning. Peter captured the special moments in unique ways / angles - nothing about our photos are "cookie cutter" and we still recieve many compliments on them from friends and family.

    I was amazed by our beautiful wedding and engagement pictures by Pete Thompson. He knows how to capture not only special moments but actual emotions that people are feeling. He was very easy to work with and professional and listened to exactly what we wanted. Pete also brought with him an artistic eye that just made our pictures so gorgeous.

    Peter Thompson did such a phenomenal job on our wedding photos! He truly captured those special moments during the wedding and took some unique, candid shots. We originally met him at our friend's wedding, and were so impressed with his work that we decided to have him do ours. From our first meeting, to our engagement photos, to our wedding day, Pete went over and beyond our expectations. He was always punctual, professional, and gave us that extra personal attention that I didn't see in other photographers. Pete is an extremely talented photographer and will make your wedding day go smoothly. Best of all, he is friendly and has a great personality that everyone will enjoy. I would highly recommend him!

    Pete was great in every phase of his involvement. He is creative and knows how to find good shots in any environment, urban or rural. He clearly has a lot of experience as a lifestyle photographer, and that experience translates very well to shooting weddings. His pricing is very fair, and I'd recommend him to anyone looking for a quality wedding photographer.

    Peter was amazing! My husband is very picky about photography and really fell in love with Peter's work from the beginning. He was great to work with. Very laid-back and a lot of fun. He was with us all day, showed up early and I'm pretty sure was still taking photos later than we'd scheduled him! He never lost energy and was always smiling! And his work is fabulous! We got a sneak preview in the limo from the church to reception as his assistant Paige was putting together a slideshow throughout the day. I expected to wait a few weeks to see all the photos and he had them up in less than two weeks and they're incredible! I couldn't have asked for better photographs. He did such an amazing job of capturing the emotion of the day! So many of our guests and my family have commented on how great he was and how awesome his work is. I would highly recommend him to anyone!

    We were 110% satisfied with the quality of work that Peter Thompson provided for our wedding. His photography was not only spectacular, but he also captured the feelings of the moments. Looking at his pictures of our day, brings back the emotions we felt when we said "I do". It was amazing that he took so many photos of our day, but we did not feel he was in the way. He was so helpful with everything and made our day run efficiently and on schedule. Even our guests were giving us positive comments about Peter's actions and work. I would highly recommend Peter to anyone who has an upcoming wedding. He is superb!

    I would recommend Pete to anyone. From the moment we booked him to the day he delivered our wedding album he was nothing but amazing. He made us feel at ease throughout all of our initial meetings and he captured all of the best moments from our wedding. All of our friends and family have done nothing but rave about the photos and album and two of our closest friends have already booked him for their wedding in May. Overall, Pete is one of the most genuine and talented photogaphers I have met.

    My husband I couldn't be more thrilled with the photos Peter captured of our wedding weekend last summer. The most important thing to us when choosing a photographer was that the photos told a story of our wedding and made you feel like you were reliving the day all over again, and Peter truly nailed it. It is impossible for us not to smile as we flip through all of the amazing images, remembering the day almost exactly as it happened. Peter's demeanor and shooting style matched so perfectly with us that we felt like we were having photos taken by a friend. He's not only professional and responsive, but extremely talented and one of the best decisions we made!

    Peter Thompson was an amazing wedding photographer. His eye for unique photos and for bringing your vision to life is perfect. My husband and I felt completely comfortable in being ourselves when he was shooting just the two of us, and he was also able to catch such great moments before and during our wedding & reception. We really loved his editorial style. He's all class.

    His prices are fair, but not cheap. His work is worth every penny. You'll be so very proud of your wedding photos if you choose Peter.

    We fell in love with Peter's work the instant we sat down with him. He was absolutely amazing throughout the whole process - from the engagement shoot, to the tons of emails exchanged, and especially on our wedding day. He was nothing but professional, and extremely fun to work with - our whole wedding party adored him! His images were exactly what we wanted to capture our wedding day, and we are able to re-live it over and over again. I would recommend him to everyone I know!!

    Peter and his team are wonderful. They went above-and-beyond before, during, and after our wedding day. We absolutely love our pictures and received countless compliments on the team's professionalism, talent, and outgoing demeanor. And of course, the pictures! Wow. Peter truly captured every moment of this special time in our lives. I have already recommended him to my closest friends and look forward to having another occasion to use him again ourselves.
