in their own words...

I don’t know where to start with Tom. From first speaking to him, meeting him at the pre-wedding shoot, to having him with us at the wedding to getting our amazing images sent through on Friday (16/08/24) he has been part of the family! You instantly feel relaxed around him (which for two awkward people who really don’t know how to pose, it was a welcoming feeling!). He is genuinely interested in your story and asks you about your time together which brings back some amazing memories that by the end of the story you are all laughing at. He came into a chaotic room on the morning of our wedding with make up, clothes and whatever else thrown about and he just fit right in and to be honest, I almost forgot he was there as a photographer because he became part of the wedding party and added to the atmosphere. Everyone has said how friendly and funny he is, and the select few people we have shown the photos to, they’ve said how amazing the images are and he’s managed to capture some amazing moments. Even just of the kids playing. They’re all beautiful images and memories that we will have to cherish forever. We honestly cant thank him enough. It’s a weird concept that you invite a ‘stranger’ to such a huge occasion in your life but straight away, within minutes of meeting Tom, that feeling disappears and you genuinely feel like you’ve known him for years. We will be staying in touch with Tom, following him on his social media platforms and hopefully using him in the future for whatever adventures we have next!

From the moment Tom stepped in as our wedding photographer, the experience was nothing short of magical. His dedication to capturing our special moments was evident from the get-go. Not only did we have a delightful pre-wedding shoot, but the entire journey with Tom was seamless and filled with genuine care.
On the day of the wedding, knowing Tom was behind the lens allowed us to be fully present and soak in every precious moment. The photos we received were beyond our expectations, each one a testament to Tom’s skill and passion for photography.
We wholeheartedly recommend Tom to anyone seeking a photographer who goes above and beyond. His tireless effort and attention to detail have left us with a collection of photos that we’ll treasure forever. Thank you, Tom, for the beautiful memories etched in time through your photographs.

20 years together, 17 years engaged, but after a couple of life changing events, it was about time to finally get married! We first spoke with Tom in January and he instantly put us at ease. We explained that our special day was going to be very small and intimate, 8 of us in total and that was including Tom…
Tom asked what specific photos we wanted, together with any special details to look out for on the day, for example, I wore my Mum’s pearl necklace, and had 3 lilac flowers in my bouquet. One rose to represent each parent that we have lost, so that we could ‘include’ them in our day.
The day arrived and so did we at the venue, Tom was there, and greeted us with his friendly manner and beaming smile on his face – truly loving the Wedding Day atmosphere as much as we were. He just slotted right in with us, was not intrusive at all, in fact it felt just like an additional member of the family taking some snapshots! Being so few guests, there literally was nowhere for Tom to hide. At no point did we feel uncomfortable, or that any shots were staged – it all just flowed naturally from arrival, through the ceremony, the little walk out to the garden, through the confetti tunnel and not forgetting our walk across the garden from the bluebells under the old oak tree to the garden path, very easily the best wedding day we’ve had!
This day was topped off very quickly (within 3 days) with the ‘sneak peek’ set of such gorgeous photos and ‘slideshow’ accompanied by ‘our song’ that we could ever have wished for, two very emotive pieces of work – then 1 week later, we received our full gallery. The photos were stunning, every little detail that we had asked for and so many more that we did not even think of, but thanks to Tom’s trained eye for those special attention to detail moments, these have been caught in time forevermore – Tom we are so glad, and will continue to be so eternally grateful, that we chose you to be our Photographer of the Day….

Thank you for taking beautiful photos at our wedding Tom. You have been professional throughout. You have been really quick with everything you have done and we are very happy with all of our lovely photos that we can treasure. Thank you again. I would recommend Tom to anyone!

The best Cornish photographer..in my opinion
From my initial enquiry all the way through the process Tom was the consummate professional.
Guided us through the whole overwhelming process of working out the best timings for him to be at the venue to capture our special moment.
We had no worries whatsoever that he would capture the precious moments for us both. We wanted ‘candid’ shots rather than too many posed photos and Tom managed this beyond our expectations, somehow managing to get amazing pictures without being intrusive. We could not recommend Tom enough to any future brides/grooms. The quality of the photos when we received them back, all in a reasonable timeframe literally made us cry. He is a really gifted, talented photographer and I promise you will be in safe hands if using him for any photos. Thanks Tom for capturing our special day so magically.

I highly recommend Thomas Hare Photography. Tom was professional in every respect. At our wedding, we enjoyed our day whilst Tom unobtrusively and wonderfully captured authentic moments between us and our guests, giving us a portfolio of beautiful, natural photos that captured the atmosphere of our day. Tom is so friendly and considerate and it was a pleasure to have him as our photographer.
