Tom Cullen Photography reviews
It is a privilege to be asked to photograph someones wedding and a big decision when choosing the right photographer. You are trusting that person to capture the story of your day and deliver photos that you can look back at forever.
Here are some kind words from my lovely couples. Grab a cuppa and have a butchers. X

Tom has been brilliant throughout the process of our wedding, firstly offering a trial run as me and my other half hate our photos taken, we were absolutely 100% calm after meeting him! he made us feel at ease in front of the camera which is a massive thing for us both. Communication throughout was brilliant always making sure everything was okay and if we had any requests. On the day of the wedding we couldn’t have asked for a better photographer!
It didn’t feel like we had a photographer, more like another member of the family. He always has his finger on the trigger to take natural photos that you don’t know are happening which turned out beautifully! he also has a great eye for what makes a lovely backdrop, all of our photos turned out wonderfully and we couldn’t have asked for more!
Highly recommend Tom as he is so clearly passionate about what he does and it shows in his work! Thank you again, we will definitely see you again for our next chapter!

Tom did the photography for our wedding in September & we can’t rate him and his assistant highly enough. Though-out the entire day he was so professional and in no way intrusive of our big day. He made us feel totally at ease and it was like having one of our friends there. Thank you Tom for helping us capture the best day of our lives. Sarah and Mike x

We can’t recommend Tom enough! Tom is an incredibly talented and creative photographer, who was able to capture so many special moments throughout the day. He has delivered so many beautifully candid shots, our album really is like a story book and we get to relive our wedding each time we look through the photos.
Tom provided exceptional customer service from the get go – he was always quick to answer any questions and kept in touch with us during the lead up to our wedding. On the day he put us both at ease with his friendly & easy going nature, it actually felt like we’d known Tom for ages! He knew exactly which shots were important for us and he really got the best photos of everyone we love.
He delivered our photos so incredibly quickly and was also happy to help with any extra requests we’ve had.
We can’t praise Tom enough – if you’re looking for a photographer, don’t hesitate to book Tom Cullen Photography, you won’t regret it!

We chose Tom for our wedding after he did an engagement photoshoot for us and we loved the result. He is so easy to get on with and has a great eye for capturing the perfect photo. We had so many comments from guests about how nice he was and how he seemed to just enjoy being part of the day. We asked for a mix of couple shots, posed groups and lots of candid shots to capture the essence of the day. The final result was fantastic, Tom truly delivered everything we wanted and more. We have been to several weddings where the photographers were intrusive or rather bossy, Tom was neither, he spent the whole day with us, from getting ready right through to the evening reception, and his sense of humour and personable manner made him feel like a welcome guest rather than photographer. We would highly recommend Tom as a photographer, he really helped create some beautiful permanent memories of our ‘RMarkable’ Day.

Tom is absolutely amazing! His professionalism made us feel so relaxed and he truly captured outstanding shots of our special day. He made sure everything was perfect; from the first meeting at bluewater, to discussing what we want, the rehearsal, the actual wedding day and even afterwards!
Even our family and friends all commented on how lovely Tom was throughout the day.
We would 100% recommend him, we will definitely use Tom again in the future!!

We had our wedding on 29th Feb 2020, just before coronavirus really began to impact the UK and other countries, so luckily we managed to have our wedding with all of our guests.
Tom was our photographer. He was communicative and we met up to discuss what our plan was for the day. We had a few touch points before the wedding including an unexpected one when we had to change venues at short notice! Our first venue had to close to remove a pipe but luckily we were able to find another venue on the same day. Tom was accommodating and visited the new venue to check out good spots for photographs at no charge. In his reconnaissance he was very thorough and found hidden locations that we didn’t know about.
On the day he took some great shots (he has created an online gallery for us) so we can view all the photos. There were lots of great options for couple shots and we managed to do most of them during the reception drinks. He created some fun and artistic shots. He wasn’t obtrusive but still managed to capture our day and all of its moments.
Tom is a friendly, relaxed, professional guy who we’d really recommend to anyone looking for a wedding photographer. Also at a reasonable price with none of these ‘that’s not included in that package’ statements you might be used to hearing! He knows that each day is special and unique.

What can I say?! I recommend Tom to anyone who asks (and most people who don’t ask too…) he’s absolutely fantastic, and we couldn’t have found a better photographer for our special day. AND we’re absolutely delighted as our lockdown wedding means we’ll be having a celebration with ALL our loved ones next year, and having Tom back again! We knew Tom was our number one choice immediately. We’d met a few photographers, but he stood out immediately (and not even because of his height or Blue Peter badge, but both were added bonuses!).
Tom had looked up the sunset time for our wedding six months ahead – just one example of how his organisation was absolutely on point. He took care to answer our million questions, show us some examples of his work, and tell us all about how he operates. I knew immediately that I could trust him with my family and friends, and also with what we wanted on our special day – he was immediately kind, and yet could hold his own with a rowdy bunch as needed! Tom did our engagement shoot, and he made me (as someone who absolutely hates having my photo taken) feel completely at ease. He heard our excitable plans, and remembered things we’d told him at our initial meeting.
When it came to all the Covid changes, once we knew that we could have a little wedding, having Tom there made such a difference. We had no idea how precious that service would be, and he captured it beautifully. He was completely respectful of the church rules and social distancing, and he was quite happy to go with all the changes to the order of things we made through the day due to the weather, and his photo of us in the rain has changed the whole way I view a rainy day. The man is a legend. He felt like a guest – and I later discovered my Mum even emailed him separately to say thank you, she was so happy with the way he’d done it all! And the images… wow. Absolutely stunning. He was creative in the ways he used social distancing in photos to create some beautiful and unique shots, and repeatedly got soaked in the rain to create some treasured photos for us.
You’re completely bonkers if you don’t hire Tom Cullen Photography immediately. He was one of our best wedding decisions, and we can’t wait to have him capture even more special moments next year. Thanks Tom!

Tom took the photos at our wedding last year and we’re so pleased that he could. We regularly look back over the photos. Tom really captured the essence of our day and they always bring back such happy memories. Tom was able to capture everyone in such a natural way. Tom provided a personal, tailored service from start to finish. Fantastic guy, amazing photos, thank you!

Tom was the photographer for our wedding in February and we couldn’t be more pleased with the results. From the first meeting with him, we knew we would be in safe hands, we told him we didn’t want lots of formalised shots, rather more a photograpic record of the day – and that’s exactly what we got. He felt like one of the family rather than a stranger by the end of the day and captured the love and laughter of the day fantastically well. We also got our photos back well within the timeframe he promises. Couldn’t recommend him highly enough.

My wife and I could not be happier with the work that Tom put in to both the day and the outcome of superb pictures from our wedding.
A wedding day is something special with all your nearest and dearest so choosing a photographer that you are comfortable with can be difficult. This however was a very easy decision with Tom. We met up beforehand to discuss what sort of work Tom could do, but first of all we got to know each other and that really made us, but especially my wife, happy that Tom was the right choice for our wedding.
We were open with Tom about what we liked and what we wanted to avoid and he was more than happy to listen and accommodate to what we required.
On the day, Tom was dressed appropriately to our colour scheme and blended in as part of the group, yet authoritative enough to get the pictures we all wanted. Many of our guests made comments on his professionalism which I feel is a credit to his style.
Most importantly of all, the pictures are wonderful and really capture the feel of the day and help the memories last a lifetime.
Overall we absolutely recommend Tom and certainly is somebody we would use again for an photography needs.

In August last year we had Tom taking photos at our wedding , i cannot recommend him enough , pre wedding he listened to everything that we wanted from our wedding , our likes , our wedding was a bit different from most and he really got on board with it, even joining us in wearing his Adidas old school trainers to match our theme!!
We agreed what shots we would like and then gave him free rain to take lots of candid shots , before, during and after the ceremony and at the reception .He did such an amazing job that alot of the guests at the reception didn’t even realise he was our photographer!!
It was a pleasure to have him as our photographer on our special day.
I have not even spoken about the quality of his work yet!!! We received over 450 photos from him and it was very hard to narrow them down. so mant great shots, black and white and colour he has a great eye!
i cannot recommend Tom enough , thank you for capturing our day.
BOOK HIM !

We chose Tom, after finding him in one of the many wedding magazine we received, he stuck out straight away. Toms service was second to none, meeting us at our local coffee shop to show us his previous work and to make us feel at ease on our big day.
Tom took time out of his own schedule to perform a engagement shoot at our wedding venue to allow me and my wife to feel relaxed and to allow us to be able to get on with everything on the big day whilst not having to worry about the photos as Tom had everything in hand.
Tom fulfilled our wishes above and beyond, helping us capture moments we would never had dreamt of. Tom was so easy going, it never really felt like he was there but still capturing over one thousand shots that are all incredible quality and gives us a great album to look through to keep the memories fresh in our minds.
Tom also bought his brilliant assistant with him, to help get some candid shots, to be in two places at once and to give us some photos with different aspects. Thank you Tom, myself and Poppy cannot recommend you enough.

Tom did the photography for our wedding in September and we couldn’t be more pleased with his work! He really put us at ease and helped us to make the most of our beautiful woodland venue. He didn’t miss an opportunity for a good shot, even coaxing over the horses in a neighbouring field for an unusual wedding photo op! We received our photos within a few weeks and we’re thrilled with the finished product which completely captures the spirit of our wedding day. Thanks again, Tom!

From the moment we met Tom at our house, after viewing his work on line, we knew we had found someone who would give us exactly what we wanted for our wedding photography. Tom is a genuinely nice guy and nothing was too much trouble in ensuring we were happy with the photos.
We had a brilliant engagement shot at Aylesford Priory, gate crashed by our four children and were delighted with the natural family shots Tom took. Tom took the time to really get to know us and our children to work out what we would like in our photos.
In the run up to the wedding, we were completely reassured everything was in place – there was absolutely no stress surrounding the photography.
On the day, Tom arrived exactly on time and took fabulous shots of us getting ready. I hadn’t even realised most were being taken as Tom just slotted in amongst the hair and make up!
During the day, we have brilliant, natural shots, capturing each stage of our wedding day perfectly. The memories encapsulated in Tom’s photos are so special. Tom’s attention to detail ahead of the day meant there were no issues or queries during the day and we are absolutely delighted with our photos. They were delivered very quickly- our only problem is choosing which ones to frame out of so many!
I would recommend Tom Cullen Photography without reservation – and have done to friends planning a wedding.
