    Picture perfect! (pun intended)

    Thato and his team were BEYOND AMAZING to work with throughout our entire wedding planning process and wedding experience! From having an online video call with Thato to e-meet him and find out more about his photography and videography services, to our engagement shoot, to the wedding day, he is a master behind the camera and captured photos that completely exceeded our expectations. We did an engagement shoot with him prior to the wedding, and we were in awe of his incredible photography, and loved how easy and comfortable he made us feel since my now-husband and I had never worked with a professional photographer before. The engagement photoshoot was only a taste of the talented work he does. The photography and videography that he did for our wedding day was so extraordinary and his enthusiasm to get the best shots really shined through lens. If you are looking for astounding photos and videos to be captured of your wedding day with an even more astounding group of people to work with, look no further than Thato and his team!

    Unbelievable experience!

    From the engagement, shoot all the way through the wedding, Thato I was the most responsive vendor we dealt with. He was very open to our ideas and also brought fourth excellent ideas of his own. His enthusiasm for the job helped us get in the mood for both photoshoots. His assistant Nicki it’s just as amazing, even going as far as helping the bride and groom with things that had nothing to do with photographs. Don’t wait, don’t even put any more thought into it. Book him NOW!

    Professional and creative

    Thato and his crew were so professional and sweet throughout the process. Good time management and making us feel calm throughout the day. They made sure our visions were met and made amazing additional ideas. We love our photos and videos/films (engagement, wedding). It's hard to choose which ones to hang on our walls!

    Amazing photographer!

    I cannot speak highly enough of Thato and his crew. We are so happy with our decision to hire Thato for our wedding. Our engagement and wedding photos (and wedding videography) look amazing! Communication was excellent and everyone commented on how fun the whole crew was. Highly recommend!

    The best!!

    Thato was absolutely AMAZING as our wedding photographer. My hair and makeup took longer than expected on our wedding morning, so I was initially worried about it pushing our photography schedule behind. But Thato got us back on schedule with his quick and efficient work, without making us feel rushed or like we were missing something. Thato and his team were friendly, easygoing, and fun to work with. They showed up early, stayed late, and were on the ball the entire time. Thato was super creative with our couples portraits which I loved- and the final product is stunning! Our photos turned out even better than I could’ve ever imagined. I would recommend Thato and his team over and over again to anyone getting married!!!

    Amazing Service

    Thato was extremely professional and made me feel so comfortable, the quality of work was out of this world. I highly recommend him to everyone. I’ve never been more happy with the videos and photos he’s given me.

    Thato Dadson Images's reply:

    It was a pleasure. You are family to me. I'm so happy you enjoyed the videos and photos I was able to deliver. Blessings to you both.

    Excellent!

    Thato photographed our December 2022 wedding. He did great work at every step of the process, from helping us figure out what we wanted to following up with the finished product afterward. Communicating with him was always quick and easy, and he delivered on everything he promised. Perhaps most importantly, he brought an affable warmth and humor to the wedding day itself. Neither one of us is a particularly natural photographic subject, but Thato guided us into some of the best photographs we’ve ever taken (many guests have, unprompted, praised the quality of the photos; I’m mostly impressed at how natural we look in them, like especially happy and nice-looking versions of ourselves, which I guess is what we were). More generally, he did an excellent job balancing putting people at ease, keeping the atmosphere fun and celebratory, and giving good enough instructions to produce a bunch of great photos quickly. We happily recommend Thato’s wedding photography!

    Wow, this is such a beautiful review. Thank you so much. It was an honor and pleasure to photograph your wedding.

    My wife and I recently had our wedding in November 2022. We can't thank Thato enough for capturing all of the special moments on our big day. He was extremely easy to work with and went out of his way to bring our ideas to life. He also had our wedding video back to us super quickly. I would highly recommend Thato to any couple!

    Thato is simply the best!

    Thato did an amazing job documenting our wedding for us. His energy and professionalism are unmatched. He worked well with everyone, and made the whole process easy even though we're not used to being filmed. He even customized a package to my exact wants and helped us stick to the budget. He delivered the preview video within a week after the wedding, which was the icing on the cake, since the actual day goes so quickly, it was really nice to be able to relive the day and I was overjoyed by this service. Thank you Thato!

    Wow powerhouse of review. Thank you so much Amy. It was a pleasure to film your day. Many blessings to you, Chris, and your little dogs too.

    Thato Dadson Images Review for our Wedding

    Let me first say that we couldn’t be happier with the overall service we received from Thato Dadson and his team. We chose Thato for photography, videography, drone footage, and a Photo Booth for our wedding last October. He included an engagement session with videography last June which was a nice touch and a great way to meet the team. He is truly a master of his craft! From his amazing photography skills to seemingly small details like meticulously planning out the perfect time of day to catch the “golden hour” for some truly breathtaking shots. He even helped us coordinate the timing of our wedding so we would have excellent lighting for our photos. We loved the whole experience with Thato. Nothing felt like your typical cookie cutter wedding photo routine. He planned out some unique and fun poses and shoots that had our bridal party and family laughing and smiling all day. It made for an album and video that felt very customized and tailored to our personalities and preferences. He captured every detail of our special day so we can keep these memories for a lifetime! It’s crazy how fast the day flies by, which is why the pictures and videos are so important. I couldn’t believe that he had a preview album with about 50 pictures and a teaser video ready for us the day after our wedding! We had the rest of the album and the full video not too long after that. I know a lot of friends that waited weeks and months to get something back from their photographer. I also have to comment that the editing of the wedding video was unbelievable. We watched it for the first time with our family and there wasn’t a dry eye in the room. It was truly beautiful. I would recommend Thato Dadson images to every single on of my friends. You will not find a better photographer!

    I love love love this review. Thank you so much. It was a great wedding. One for the ages. Many blessings to you both.

    Dream photos

    Thato and the team gave me the dream wedding photos I always wanted. I felt like an absolute princess, royalty. The photos and videos are top notch, and everyone comments on how well done they are. I have everything I ever wanted to remember the best day of my life. I cried looking at the pictures and video. Just such a wonderful job. Thank you guys so much for FAR exceeding the expectations of a huge perfectionist (me) and doing the best job anybody could do. I’ll be using this company for any important event I do, ever. Love you guys!!!!

    Thato Dadson Images's reply:

    The fact that we made you feel like a celebrity means the world. I'm glad you felt like the most important person in the world. Great wedding and many blessings to you and your husband.

    Wonderful experience...amazing quality!

    We had such a great experience with this company taking photos and video of our son's wedding! They were so easy to work with and really got great photos. They had ideas of fun shots to get that we never would have thought of. We were blown away that the very next day we had a sample of photos from the wedding and a video short that made us all tear up! Highly recommend them.

    Thato Dadson Images's reply:

    It was a pleasure to photograph your son's wedding. A super fun wedding for sure. I'm so glad I was apart of it.

    Professional, efficient, high-quality, and a blast to work with!

    Thato and his team did OUTSTANDING work for our wedding! They were very fun to work with, easy-going, and relaxed, but every bit as professional and efficient. They made the entire process seamless, and we were never overwhelmed. My husband had a great time working with them as well. The pictures turned out beautiful, and the videography work was breathtaking! I had chills watching our wedding trailer, and our entire family and friends were overjoyed to receive it. Not to mention, we immediately received pictures only a couple days after the wedding so we could start enjoying them right away, and the wedding trailer only took a week to receive! Such efficient yet extremely high quality work. The editing was gorgeous and it felt like watching a real romance movie! I will be recommending Thato Dadson images to everyone I know getting married.

    Thato was so professional and personable at the same time. He was accommodating and easy to work with throughout the whole process. Our family initially felt awkward about posed portraits, but he put us all at ease and we loved the finished products!

    Super helpful and good eye for pictures!

    Thato was AMAZING. So I was planning on having my friend be my photographer and I was looking for an "additional" photographer and my friend commented that she had Thato Dadson Images photograph her wedding, so I looked at his FB page and liked what I saw so I reached out. I ended up liking it so much that my friend shifted from main to additional photographer and Thato became the main photographer. I was doing all of the wedding planning without a planner so I had a LOT of questions of what is "typical" for a wedding package would be. Thato broke every "plan" down and then offered to help pick what was needed. He even had a video call to review his website and options that he has for the "special" photos. He also let me send him my Pinterest screen shots and see if we can do any of them with his plan. AND HE DID! He made note of all of the ideas i had and even reminded me what I requested (because day of I was slightly scatterbrained) Also, the friend that I had originally flaked out a few weeks before the wedding and I reached out to him frantic and asked if there were any last minute options to add another photographer from his company or someone he knows. Immediately he told me what options i had, how much of an additional cost it would be, and what to expect with the other photographer. During the reception he and his other photographer (I apologize I forget her name but she was FANTASTIC) were always RIGHT where we needed them & the shots were so candid! I promise you that you will not be disappointed!

    Professional and Fun Videographer

    Thato and team were very professional and efficient. On your wedding day, you don't want to be posing for hours on end. We were able to get such great footage in a short amount of time. I loved the drone shots he did as well. The end result made me cry and was so beautiful. He definitely was able to capture the love and fun that we were looking for. 11/10!!

    Thato Dadson Images's reply:

    Thank you so much, Holly. I appreciate your kind words. Your wedding was full of energy. I was happy to be able to display it in your video.

    So great to work with!

    My husband and I hired a videographer for our wedding who ended up canceling on us 2 weeks beforehand with no replacement. A friend recommended Thato and he thankfully ended up being available for our big day. He was a joy to work with from start to finish and was so personable and kind. Don’t hesitate to book with him! I wish we had done so from the start.

    Beautiful photography and thoughtful experience

    I'm so happy that I found Thato! From the engagement shoot to the delivery of the wedding photos, he was professional every step of the way. His pricing is very reasonable for the high quality of service that you get from him! My husband and I were so amazed at all the closeups he got during the ceremony because in the moment, we didn't even notice him there! As an interracial couple, he made both of us (and our families) look great in indoor and outdoor lighting, and composed really thoughtful portraits. Thato is very sweet, easygoing, and a calming presence to have on your wedding day.
    We will cherish his photos for years to come!

    He truly makes magic happen!

    Thato is THE. BEST. We worked together for a styled shoot and after that I knew I had to partner with him! His energy is completely infectious and he is SO GENUINE! He made our couple feel so comfortable that it perfectly translated into the photos. The whole team on site was smiling, laughing and completely vibing because of the atmosphere he created. In my experience, a photographer can make or break a mood. They are to be the most observant yet the happiest guest at your event. Their energy is infectious - good or bad - and no one likes a cranky vendor.

    But that is only the half of it. Thato’s work is STUNNING! When I saw the photos from the styled shoot I couldn’t take my eyes off the bride and groom. He was able to truly capture their love and it translated through the photo. And the scenery - OMG! I mean we were working with a beautiful venue BUT he really picked the best photo locations and poses that captured every angle.

    I wish I could give Thato more than 5 stars because that’s what he deserves! It’s a pleasure working with him - professionally and personally for my own events. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!

    Great photographer, beautiful photos

    We are so thankful for Thato's photography and presence on our wedding day and leading up to it! The photos are excellent, capturing memories from key moments and including every guest with great table pictures. We've gotten lots of positive feedback about the artistic outdoor shots he took! Thato went above and beyond in terms of communicating with us and helping ensure key moments of the event went smoothly, both going with the flow and helping us stay on track.
