Tom Hibberd Photography

If you are looking for a wedding photographer, Tom is the man for you. We could not fault him for anything, he was absolutely brilliant. He was super professional and was great at rounding up and directing our wedding guests for the photos we requested from our big day. Our wedding guests also said how wonderful Tom was with them when asking for photos. We loved the fact he would just hide amongst the guests and get real shots rather than everything being staged which is the main reason we chose Tom. He even had a large white umbrella at hand as the rain just couldn’t help itself but show up on our big day lol. He was super quick at editing our photos in time for our return from our honeymoon and the presentation box we received our USB in was amazing. We couldn't be happier with how the photos came out as well, also Tom took the time to format all the photos so they were ready for our phones and socials. We really cannot recommend him enough, thanks again Tom!

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! :-)

We were recommended Tom by a friend and were immediately put at ease when we met with him. Tom is extremely professional and an amazing photographer, i really cant recommend his services highly enough, he ensured our wedding went smoothly whilst most of the time working in the background creating some fantastic photos. we now have a brilliant wedding album that we will treasure for years to come.

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 weren’t wrong!On the day, Tom arrived early to scout the venue and ensure that he didn’t miss any of the key moments from the pre wedding preparations. For vast amounts of the time, we didn’t 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.

Getting the right photographer for your wedding is obviously one of the most important jobs when planning a wedding, and being in Australia, I knew I’d have to heavily rely on recommendations because I would not be able to meet face to face before the wedding. Tom came highly recommended and let me say, he did not disappoint. He was a true professional and got the best out of us both, even though we are not naturally confident people. He importantly listened to what we wanted, gave us feedback where he felt improvements could be made and he really took command of the day, to ensure he delivered the photos we wanted. He never stopped the whole day and even at the end of the day, instead of wanting to go home, he was pushing for some more shots to perfect the collection. His work was delivered in a timely manner and the results are amazing. Would I recommend Tom to you, 100%. He exceeded our expectations and was amazing! My only feedback would be, he should increase his prices, the amount of work he puts in, he deserves more! Mark & Michael Smith.

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!

Tom is amazing! He's fantastic at what he does and we couldn't recommend him highly enough. He put us and our guests at ease on the day and was great at coaching us through each shot. The photos he managed to capture are outstanding and we absolutely love them. Tom is professional and had clearly done his research ahead of our big day because he knew exactly where to go to get the best shots and vantage points. As you can see from the photos attached to this review - he will go the extra mile to get the perfect shot, including getting in the cold North Sea with us!

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 he’d 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 Tom’s 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 he’d 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 was our wedding photographer - we really couldn't recommend him highly enough.In addition to just being a talented photographer, he has a great sense of humour and was able to put both us and our guests at ease very quickly - resulting in much better photos.He even managed to get the odd smile out of me - not an easy challenge!Tom worked tirelessly throughout the day of the wedding and took a lot of good shots but then followed it up with some talented editing to tweak the best of the photos.I've since referred family and friends to him, safe in the knowledge of the quality service he provides.

Tom is a truly amazing photographer and was the perfect match for us.His photos captured the real moments in a way I didn't think was possible. From our first meeting with Tom we knew he was the photographer for us. We had a lot of laughs during the day including me trying to talk while smiling and our battle with the wind for most of our day. Our pictures were returned quickly in a beautiful presentation box. Tom's payment terms of the balance on return of the photos instead of fully in advance is testament to the quality of his work.I only wish we could have our day again, if we did we would book Tom!Thank you so much.
