Margaret River Wedding Photographer

Renee + Ian

”Where do we begin! The first time we met Tom we knew he was the photographer for us. His laid back and chilled nature was just what we were looking for. On the big day he did not disappoint. His ability to capture the day was better than we could ever have expected. He made us feel so relaxed the whole day.

We were so surprised when we received our whole wedding album so quickly and to a high standard, all 900 photos! We could not have thanked Tom enough.

Tom thank you so much for being able to capture the best day of our lives with the most amazing pictures! We really appreciate your work and hope we can work with you again in the future!

- Renee and Ian Jack“

”Tom photographed our wedding which was held in Gnarabup, Margaret River in March '22. We aren't local so didn't meet Tom until the day of the wedding, but he is so easy going and friendly that we felt instantly comfortable!

Tom's style of photography is exactly what we wanted for our wedding day. He gave us direction, but still allowed us just to be ourselves and forget the camera was there. He captured us in the most beautiful, raw, funny, emotive and heartfelt moments, the images we got back are far beyond what I could have ever imaged! He got all the important stuff, the ceremony, couple photos, speeches, the cake cutting and the party pics, but just as importantly the hidden moments of us and our friends and family that we didn't even remember! It was amazing being able to look back on our album (which we got back after only a week) and relive our day in such detail. Having Tom as your photographer is an absolute investment - we could not have been happier with our decision to hire him and are truly grateful for his amazing service and talent.

Thanks so much Tom!!!”

”Tom is amazing! He made us feel super comfortable and ensured we had the best time. He bought a chilled presence to the day and always went that extra mile to get a good shot. The pictures turned out better than we could have imagined, I wish there were more! Thanks Tom, you're an absolute legend.”

”Tom was super easy to work with and made us feel very comfortable on the day. It’s amazing how many great photos he got of not just us but our guests as well. Tom asked a few questions to make sure that there were shots in our photo shoot unique to our relationship and he did a great job! Edited photos were back within a week of the wedding which I feel like is unheard of in the wedding industry! He was very professional with a calm and relaxing presence, our guests even commented on how seamlessly he moved around taking photos. We are very happy with Tom’s services and wouldn’t change a thing.”

“Tom at Driftwood Photography is extremely talented and I am so happy we chose him to photograph our wedding. He captured hundreds of candid moments that portrayed perfectly just how amazing our day was. We weren't that keen on cheesy poses as a couple and a bridal party so I was stoked at how Tom operated. We got a teaser within days of the wedding and then our full album a month later which was awesome. The link to access the photos was so good because we could choose favourites which went into a separate album, share with others easily and download medium and/or high res images. Aside from that he's just a good bloke and was it was fun having him around. Thoroughly recommend Driftwood!”

“Candid perfection. Tom captured the most beautiful moments of our wedding and has given us some truly magical photos to reflect back on.”

“We LOVE the pics, they’re amazing and capture so many elements and different perspectives of the day, love the creativity and style of your work. I think we spent 4 hours and a bottle of wine or 2 going through them the first time and so much emotion. Like crying to belly laughing.

Tom’s work is second to none! We absolutely love his style, creative flare and his ability to capture the emotion and atmosphere of our special day. Tom’s laid back but fun and delivers beautiful images that make it really hard for you to pick your fave pics! Absolute pleasure to work with.”

 

Johnny + Grace

“We couldn't recommend Tom at Driftwood Photography highly enough. From looking at photo collections of Toms previous work online to a few emails back and forth we knew we wanted Tom to do our wedding. On the lead up to the day and especially on the day itself, we loved the vibe we got from Tom, so chilled out, relaxed, accommodating, professional, we were put at ease from day one. With his knowledge of the local area he brought us to a fabulous location to get our pictures taken and we are both delighted with the final product.”

”We cant thank Tom enough for the amazing job he did at our wedding! He captured so so many special moments throughout the day.
We just love how natural the photos look. I didn’t have much correspondence with Tom before the wedding and I really didn’t need to. He managed to capture our personality perfectly just from listening at the ceremony.  The little things Tom did such as borrowing a couple of fishermen’s rods to use as a props after he heard all the ‘fishing promises’ in our vows absolutely made our day!
Tom made us all feel so comfortable and carefree which really stands out in the photos. He’s an absolute legend, thank you so much Tom!” 

 

Ange + James

“Thanks so much!!! Really made our day yesterday. You have captured the day so beautifully, not that we ever had any doubts! Not sure we can ever express how grateful we are to have all of these beautiful photos from our day, you have really gone above and beyond.”

“We cant thank Tom enough for capturing our ceremony and giving us such amazing memories to look back on.

Our photos are so beautiful and natural amongst the beauty of the forest around us.

From the moment we'd been recommended tom and seen his photos we just knew straight away his work was perfect for us.

Amongst everything going on in the world, we had to bring our wedding forward with just 4 hours notice for us and tom... He was there with no questions about it, he made himself available and just made our day! Absolute legend! 🤙

Thank you soooo much tom, your work is truly amazing!!”

 

Em + Josh

“Tom did a fantastic job capturing the wedding. After booking the venue (White Elephant) the team suggested we go with Tom. My first thought was sure we will be polite and chat with the guy. Got online to check out the photos and knew he was the right fit instantly. We were looking someone with that surf vibe to help us capture the day and to fit with the venue. Tom was very reassuring throughout the run up and over the course of the day. There are soooo many decisions to make in the planning of the wedding. Tom was really great at understanding the sort of images we were looking for, putting us at ease, and helping us capture the day. He was also great at helping us feel relaxed in front of the camera and encouraged us to enjoy the moment. He has done an amazing job there are so many great photos in the set I'm not sure where we will start with the printing of them. “

“We are so glad that we decided to book Tom for our Gnarabup beach wedding, he was exactly what we needed in a photographer. He was super easy to communicate with in the lead up to the big day and got us a few highlight photos a few days after the wedding.His calm and laid back attitude helped to put us at ease on the wedding day and his experience helped make everything run smoothly. Thank you so much Tom for capturing our special day!”

 

Laura + Jess

”Words truly cannot describe how amazing Tom’s work is. His warm and genuine nature and the love he puts into his work truly results in the most beautiful captured photos ever thought possible. He truly went beyond and above for Jess and I and we will forever be grateful for what he did for us. He put so much love and effort into capturing the perfect photos for us on our wedding day. Looking back at the pictures, they truly not only show moments of the day but evoke so many beautiful emotions we were feeling. We both though we would forget the little moments and the emotions we were feeling at certain times of the wedding day.  But thanks to Tom we now have a beautiful collection of photos that are truly revoke such beautiful feelings. Tom is by far one of the best wedding photographers in the industry and we cannot thank him enough for what he did for us.”

“Cannot thank you enough for capturing our day so beautifully! You really went above and beyond for us. We really appreciated how easy going you were and how you made us feel so comfortable. It was so much fun stopping off in the different secret spots you'd scoped out on our way to Wills domain. 

Feel like you really captured the beauty of WA which has such a special place in our hearts. We really couldn't have wished for more beautiful wedding photos.

Thank you, thank you!!!”

 

Sammy + Ben

“It was always going to be a risk booking someone from the other side of the world to capture the best day of our life. But it was a risk that 100% paid off! Ben is not one for having his photo taken and let you know from the get go but you made it an enjoyable experience. It was relaxed, I think there were a few times we forgot we were with 4 other people and got caught up in a little dance on the beach, wandering in and out of grass bushes and hanging out under a Christmas tree. You caught us all naturally, and if I might say so myself, beautifully. We had photos taken in 3 different locations before heading to our reception lunch and you knew exactly what you were doing. Our photos are a dream and we had fun making them happen. We can't thank you enough for what you have given us to look back on.”

“Tom was great from the first point of engagement.  Communication was smooth and efficient, given we didn't actually meet till our wedding day - it all went very smoothly!  Tom was able to capture the day perfectly, with the most laid back and relaxed attitude.  He made us both feel comfortable and relaxed, even though we're not fans of being the centre of attention!  The blip in the weather on our day presented no challenge - Tom worked with us to get the best shots and capture the moment with the weather adding a great dimension to the photos.  Thanks Tom for your understanding, patience and graciousness in capturing our special day. “

 

Emma + Ben

"Tom was an absolute dream to work with. Everyone says how much a great photographer is needed for your wedding day, (One of the best investments apparently!) and in saying that we honestly couldn't of asked  for a better photographer! 

From the moment we first booked Tom he was helpful, professional, relaxed, and felt like we were working with a friend. So easy going which set the tone for our day. In fact having our photos with Tom was one of the highlights! It was so much fun and we didn't feel like we were even having photos taken which was what we liked as Ben and I are quite camera shy! We loved Tom's natural look of really capturing everyone in their true moment. You can't beat that as that's what photos are all about to look back on;in that moment! We totally loved that style rather then the over posed and staged photographers you can get for weddings. Thankyou so much Tom for the best day of our lives, which you totally contributed too. You made everything easy,fun and captured our day perfectly as well as the gorgeous scenery at Gnarabup Beach"

”Thank you so much, they look AWESOME. I am still working my way through them because there are so many and they’re all so good!!! I’m struggling to pick a favourite location. The ones getting ready are so intimate and beautiful, the forest ones are really awe inspiring, and the wedding/receptions ones are beautiful. I haven’t worked out my favourite photo yet, it’s going to take me a while to, I reckon!”

 

Danni + Jason

”Tom was absolutely fantastic in shooting our wedding for us at Wise Winery. He listened to what we wanted and worked within our limited shooting time that we had allowed. We really just wanted him to do his thing and capture the moments from the day that we would actually look back on. On the day many of the guests commented that they barely noticed that we had a photographer and how nice that was. During our couples shoot he made us feel relaxed and gave us a bit of space so we could enjoy the moment and celebrate that we just got married. The end result was we got some beautiful pictures that didn’t feel structured or uptight. Nothing screamed classic wedding, which is exactly what we wanted. There are some beautiful portrait pictures mixed in with some wide shots that look more like art.
If you are looking for something out of the wedding box and want something that is a bit more raw and real, then I couldn’t recommend Tom more. A photographer really can ruin the day but Tom’s calm professional attitude is really felt and you know you're in good hands.
Thanks again Tom for just doing your thing and giving us some great shots that we can actually put on the wall!
Danni and Jason”

”Tom was perfect for our wedding day - he was so relaxed and unassuming that we all felt so relaxed - which really made for some seriously beautiful pictures - all candid and not over posed. During the ceremony he wasn’t obstructive to any of the guests or other vendors and when we got the photos back I don’t know how he got all of the angles by himself. After the ceremony we spent a max 40 mins shooting some location pics with our wedding party and that was enough. I was super impressed by how quickly we received a teaser for our album and then even the album itself. We can’t thank Tom enough - you ROCK!”

 

Maddy + Nate

”Tom did a fantastic job photographing our wedding! He is professional and easy to work with, captured the mood perfectly and took pictures of so many beautiful moments on our happy day. He blended in really well and we often didn't even notice him photographing, which made for really natural, light-hearted and beautiful photos - exactly what we were hoping for! We are totally stoked with the outcome and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a wedding photographer.”

Loz + Mitch

The first time we saw Tom’s work we knew we had to have him as our wedding photographer, so much so that when we found out he was already booked on our proposed day we changed the date of our wedding.  After seeing the amazing photos that Tom captured we are so happy that we made that decision.

From day one Tom was a dream to deal with, he responded to emails promptly, was open to all of our ideas and when he turned up on the day it felt like he was a mate that we had known for years.  His chilled nature and friendly personality kept us relaxed and our family and friends loved him.

Tom has a true talent for photographing natural, unstaged moments and captured the joy, happiness and fun of our day perfectly.  Our photos are absolutely stunning and we relive the day every time we look through them.

We are beyond grateful for Tom and his work and would recommend him to everyone.”

Sam and I contacted Tom very last minute during a busy time of year, he was quick and efficient in getting back to us and so easy and friendly to deal with. His service was so reasonably priced and we loved how relaxed and organised he was with us, the day couldn’t have gone smoother. Thanks again Tom, would highly recommend!”

“After booking in our wedding date at Bunker Bay the next big decision was to find a photographer that suited us best and to capture the special moments of our day whilst giving the beautiful scenery around us justice.
We were looking for someone that had a chilled relaxed vibe and were after the more natural in moment style photography rather than the posey staged kind. My husband and I are a little camera shy and thought we might find it uncomfortable so we were hoping for someone friendly and warm with a relaxed nature. We were so happy to have found Tom as he fitted every aspect we were hoping for and captured the special moments throughout the day perfectly. We can’t thank Tom enough for the photographs he captured and the memories we now have to treasure for a lifetime.”

“Tom was an absolute dream to work with. Weddings can be stressful, no matter how big or small or simple or elaborate they are; and it's so important to have people you can trust to deliver around you. We wanted a very simple wedding, including organic and natural photography, and Tom delivered in spades. He really listened to and connected with the vibe we wanted, remained flexible, and was a master at putting us all at ease. The photos he produced were beautiful and really highlighted the relaxed nature of our day. The drone photography in particular produced some absolute favourites; and I couldn't be more grateful for his input to our day. Thanks mate!”

“Tom was our prime and only photographer for our wedding and we couldn't recommend him enough. From the very first meeting right up to receiving our beautiful photos Tom was professional, helpful and happy to answer any questions we came up with during the process. On our big day he did such a great job of getting the candid shots we asked for and not being intrusive to us or our guests. Tom knows the Margaret River area so well that he can capture the best shots to make the most of the beautiful scenery whilst also ensuring the subject matter looks the best possible. If you are having a wedding or any other special occasion in the Margaret River area we can highly recommend Tom.”
