Tom Hibberd Photography

Tom really is the full package when it comes to wedding photography. We cannot recommend him enough. Perfect communication from start to finish. Tom visited our house a few weeks before the wedding to discuss what we wanted from him on the day, we opted for discreet shots at the venue, and then wedding photos of just the 2 of us in Jesmond dene, followed by group photos of the guests. Tom then explained of the equipment hed be using, and discussed our day with us hour by hour, planning where to be and what to do for the perfect photographs. Tom is very easy going and everybody on the day of the wedding said how great Tom was. On the day we loved Toms enthusiasm and dedication, he was a ghost at all times, blending in with the crowd and hiding in vantage points to catch the best shots. Then hed jump out of the shadows and quickly take control of situations where people needed to be in certain places and positions, such as group photos, nobody was left guessing, Tom had all the angles worked out and quickly got everybody in their places so photographs were expertly centered. Tom is creative with his shots, using a variety of equipment and props, such as step ladders, lights, champagne bottles and snow, and the end results speak for themselves. 5 days after the wedding Tom came round and presented us with 1118 edited photographs and a slideshow of the day that we all watched together. We are more than delighted with every single photo and would recommend Tom every single time.

Tom photographed our wedding and we could not be more pleased with the results. He was also brilliant on the day getting all the photos which we requested of family and friend and also taking creative and beautiful photos of us as a couple. Tom put us at ease as he is friendly and patient. He created a fantastic slideshow we really loved of our wedding day and edited our photos tastefully. We cannot thank him enough!

We were very impressed with Tom and the whole process from booking him to be our Wedding photographer to getting the final images back and everything in between. He was very professional and made us and our guests feel at ease and relaxed on the day. We had a good chat a few weeks before the wedding so we all knew what to expect on the day and how things would work, and Tom worked exactly as described during this chat. He does a good mix of some posed shots and some more relaxed and in the moment shots throughout the day which helped to capture some special moments. Tom made the most of the lovely autumn colours and setting for our wedding and got some amazing shots using these. The guests also commented on what a good job he did throughout the day. He turned around our images and returned them to us within a short space of time which we were very impressed with, and you can tell he put a lot of work into making them the best photos possible of our special day. Would highly recommend Tom and his Wedding photography services to anyone looking for someone to capture their big day. Thanks again Tom! :-)

Feeling comfortable on our wedding day was of paramount importance to us. Having scrolled endlessly through reviews and galleries, we decided to book Tom in 2018. Fast forward 4 years, and we finally got our wedding day. Tom was so easy to communicate with, always responding promptly and made changing over our date due to covid both stress and hassle free. When we finally met just a few weeks before our 4th August wedding day, it was immediately apparent that we had made a good choice in our wedding photographer. Tom was extremely friendly yet professional and made us both feel instantly comfortable. We talked through what we wanted from our photos and how the day would work and left feeling confident we would end up with some brilliant picture memories. We werent wrong! On the day, Tom arrived early to scout the venue and ensure that he didnt miss any of the key moments from the pre wedding preparations. For vast amounts of the time, we didnt even know he was there - exactly what we had asked for! Tom pointed us in the direction of perfect settings and timings for lighting to create beautiful pictures but there was never any pressure. If we were busy with our guests or enjoying certain moments he made us feel totally comfortable in deciding when was the right time for our pictures. Tom worked with our master of ceremonies to ensure we were always where we needed to be so that the day could run entirely smoothly. He stayed throughout the day and was only too happy to stay well in to the evening in order to ensure each element of the venue (various rooms) could be captured. To top it all off, Tom provided us with a collage on the day to share with friends and family and we received all of our edited photos within less than 2 weeks - amazing! Our final images are incredible.

Tom has been amazing from the very beginning especially with all the date changes due to the pandemic. We finally met Tom a couple weeks before the wedding and what a lovely genuine bloke. We talked about the special day and how it would go, Tom having dealt with many weddings gave us his opinion on how maybe some of the day should play out, for example more natural photos and spending more time with friends and family rather then posing all day. Obviously Tom said all of the day was our choice but we completely agreed with him as the day went very quick and we got to enjoy our day rather then being away from everyone taking photos. On the day Tom was amazing, he captured everything. We have actually just sat and went through all of the photos and it was like reliving the whole day again. As said above the day goes soo quick, some of it was a blur but the pictures have brought it all back. They're amazing and the video that Tom put together for us along with the song I walked down the aisle to had me crying my eyes out. Its something we can keep forever thankyou soo much Tom xx
