Natural & Fun Wedding Photography and Videography
My name is Tom and I’ve had a passion for film, photography, (and Hawaiian Shirts!) from a young age. Hawaiian Shirt Photography was formed from these three loves. I believe it’s really important to capture the fun and the essence of the wedding and my work always includes loads of great shots of the guests and is not just about following the bride and groom around all day.
For me, being a great photographer and videographer is a mixture of an eye for a great shot, passion, enthusiasm, and a love of technology. There are so many great cameras, lenses, sound equipment, and even drones out there and I love learning about the latest gadgets and using them to enhance my work.
With weddings, as well as producing beautiful images, I believe it’s equally important to create a great experience. The photographer and videographer really help with the vibe of the day. I aim for the right mixture of relaxed but organised, unobtrusive, but happy to try fun shots with those who want to.
How I Work
You can book me for photography, videography or both. If you go for the combined package I’ll bring an experienced second person along from a team of fantastic people I work regularly with.
I’d describe my style as pretty candid but not completely! Although most of the day works best staying in the background and capturing people while they are not looking, there is certainly a place for some nice group shots and definitely a couple shoot (which can be a really lovely part of the day, as it’s where you can escape the madness for a little bit). I’m used to shy and awkward couples, actually thinking about it perhaps that’s specialty…It’s a nice challenge to bring out natural smiles from those who are not super comfortable in front of the lens.
P.S I don’t have to wear a Hawaiian Shirt to the wedding if you don’t want that.
“Hawaiian Shirt Photography were absolutely incredible. We had to move our wedding date several times due to the pandemic and they were so kind and helpful always willing to move to help us have the day we wanted. We hardly even noticed they were there but they captured our entire day for us and being able to watch the incredible video and look back on it is brilliant.”

“We LOVE our video!!!!!!!! Thank you SO MUCH! We watched it 3x when we got it and again last night. The music is just perfect as well and the way you’ve matched the music to the images is spot on.”
“Tom, you were so discreet on the day and you have put together a really fantastic video, we would highly recommend you, thank you so much for all your hard work.”Carolyn & Ali
“You were amazing on the day and the quality of the pictures are excellent! We are both so happy with the outcome of the images and they look so natural too. We both want to thank you for doing an amazing job capturing our wedding day and honestly we couldn’t of asked for the images to come out any better! Some of the castle shots that you’ve taken with us two in them are genuinely stunning!”
