Real Client Stories & Testimonials

Dearest Tommy,

From our very first meeting, we knew you were special. Your passion for photography was obvious, and your deep care for capturing people’s most special moments stood out. You specifically asked us what the most meaningful photo would be for us. We shared that we wanted to capture the once-in-a-lifetime interactions between our loved ones who were going to fly in from all over the world. We also talked about our deep love for our dog, the BC forests, the cherry blossoms… ALL of which you made sure to gift to us.

What makes Tommy stand out is his attention to his clients’ dreams and personalities. He respects and helps design people’s ideal photos. He understands that these are going to be looked at for years to come. We expected to have a few ‘wall-worthy’ photos, but ended up with 181 photos that met this criteria. Furthermore, Tommy wore many hats on our special day, graciously stepping in to help with vendor coordination, decoration, etc., which was so above our expectations but deeply appreciated. It brings tears to our eyes thinking about it. He even sneakily shot a few sentimental videos, like our first look, which was a total surprise.

Our guests really enjoyed Tommy. The bride’s father, who is camera shy, called him a gentle perfectionist. One friend called him very talented. All were stunned and impressed when the final photos were released a mere few days after the event.

The photos speak for themselves.

Choosing Tommy as your photographer is a no-brainer. It is the best decision we could have made.

Warmly,
Catherine and James

We are incredibly grateful to have had Tommy as our wedding photographer. From the very beginning, he was proactive in communicating with us to understand our needs and preferences. He took the time to learn about our love story and the styles of wedding photography we were drawn to. To make sure the vibe aligned with our vision, he even created a personalized mood board for us on Pinterest before the shoot.

Before the big day, Tommy designed a thoughtful engagement session for us, which helped us get comfortable in front of the camera and turned out to be such a memorable experience. During the shoots, Tommy was always encouraging and gave us clear, helpful guidance—whether it was about posing, positioning, or expressions. His energy made the whole process relaxed and joyful.

What impressed us the most was that Tommy wasn't just taking photos—he was capturing our story. He paid attention to meaningful details, like the way we held hands or exchanged a glance, and gently reminded us to stay in those moments. Thanks to his professionalism and care, we now have a collection of heartfelt, emotional photos that we’ll treasure forever.

We highly recommend Tommy—not only is he a talented photographer, but he’s also someone who genuinely invests in understanding your story and bringing it to life through his lens.

We were set to have a small and intimate ceremony for our wedding, with just us and our witnesses. All we wanted were the memories. Boy did Tommy deliver.

Our outdoor ceremony was in a park, and Tommy has managed to capture the essence of what we'd hoped for this day. He's made us feel at ease from the get go, before we even met, and helped us conceptualize and envision our ideas for the kind of photos we wanted as memories.

He captured many candid and authentic moments, with simple and effective directions, and really brought the best out of each shot with his kindness, humor, and skills.

We've had such a fun time going around that park as night fell, and for our small wedding, Tommy was such a big part of making this day memorable. Our families from abroad who couldn't attend were ecstatic at seeing our gallery, and made them feel like they were there with us.

Thank you Tommy for an incredible experience, a beautiful gallery of photos we'll cherish forever, and a kind and heartfelt blog post capturing our story.

Thank you thank you thank you!

We highly recommend Kind Photos YVR as your wedding or pre-wedding photographer. It was an absolute pleasure working with Tommy—he's the most fantastic and professional photographer. We had an amazing time during our pre-wedding photoshoot over the weekend. Tommy spent nearly an hour consulting with us to understand our vision and preferences. As it was our first time taking wedding photos, we had no clear idea about the venue or timing. Tommy expertly guided us in imagining our perfect setting.

My partner and I had different ideas—having grown up in a city by the sea, he envisioned our dream portrait at a dock with a sea view, while I preferred a grassy field surrounded by bubbles. Tommy skillfully combined our visions and found the perfect location that satisfied both of us. The photos turned out incredible!

On the day of the shoot, Tommy arrived early to scout the site and even discovered some hidden spots just for us, an effort we truly appreciated! Although neither of us is used to being in front of the camera, Tommy’s professionalism shone through as he guided us on how to pose naturally, capturing stunning shots.

Throughout the session, we had great conversations about different wedding culture and our future goals. Tommy’s sense of humor kept us laughing naturally, making the experience even more enjoyable. Despite our tight schedule and pre-wedding stress, working with Tommy was the most relaxing experience we've had in months. He helped us reconnect with nature and brought us back to the city, which meant so much to us. Tommy’s passion for photography is evident, and we sincerely hope his dreams come true in the near future! Thank you so much for those awesome artworks!

We cannot thank Tommy enough for the incredible job his did as our wedding photographer! From the very beginning, Tommy went far above and beyond for us. Even though we intentionally only booked for the day of our wedding, he encouraged us to do an engagement shoot, and we are so glad we did. Tommy took the time to guide us from how to pose to every little details, which helped ease our nerves and made the entire experience so enjoyable.

Tommy not only captured all our most beautiful moments but also gave us amazing support in the lead-up to our wedding. On the big day, he even brought along his talented colleague, Victoria, ensuring that every special moment was captured perfectly, and it was. Together, they made a fantastic team and truly made our day unforgettable.

Before we even get used to having the rings on our finger (haha), Tommy had the full wedding gallery ready for us and our families and friends. Everyone absoulutely loves every one of photos.

We are incredibly greatful for all Tommy's work and dedication. If you're looking for a photographer who creative, dedicated, and genuinely cares about his clients, look no further than Tommy! We can't recommend him enough!

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Tommy from Kind Photos YVR for our post-wedding cherry blossom photoshoot, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience!

From the very beginning, Tommy impressed us with his attentiveness and thoughtful approach. He guided us through a visualization exercise during our intake call that really helped us feel prepared and excited for the shoot.

On the day of, he made us feel completely at ease, offering helpful posing tips, gentle direction, and words of encouragement that brought out our most natural smiles and candid moments.

What truly blew us away was how quickly he delivered the edited photos and how absolutely stunning they turned out! Every detail and every emotion were captured with such care and beauty.

We are so grateful to have found Tommy and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer who combines artistry with genuine kindness and professionalism.

Thank you, Tommy, for capturing such a special moment in our lives so beautifully. We look forward to working with you again!
