Hi, I'm Tom Groves 👋
Passionate
Authentic
Storytelling
Hey! Im Tom, an award winning wedding photographer based in Cheshire but regularly working all over the UK. My style of photography isn’t scripted or staged. I do real moments, captured beautifully.
My approach on a wedding day is relaxed and informal as I want you to feel comfortable with my presence, as if I was just another guest. It’s just pictures of things happening at a wedding – it’s you, as you are, who you are, what you feel. I’m all about authentic emotion, the stolen kisses, the belly laughs, the tears of joy, the kids being kids and everything in between! To put it simply, I do real moments, captured beautifully.

Tom Groves Wedding Photography Full Description
My style of photography isn’t scripted or staged, it’s just pictures of things happening at a wedding – it’s you, as you are, who you are, what you feel. I don’t do cheesy poses, fake smiles or stuffy formal photos. I’m all about authentic emotion, the stolen kisses, the belly laughs, the tears of joy, the kids being kids and everything in between! To put it simply, I do real moments, captured beautifully.
My approach on a wedding day is relaxed and informal as I want you to feel comfortable with my presence, as if I was just another guest. Even if you are camera shy, you can have stylish, natural wedding photographs that illustrate what a brilliant time you had.
Of course there is a need for formal photos (but this is entirely up to you) but I do advise that we keep the formal or not so formal photography down to minimum to give me more time to capture more natural moments and interactions between you and your guests and give you more time to enjoy the day and spend time with your friends and family and enjoy the party!

FAQs

What is your most memorable wedding?
As a wedding photographer, I've captured so many beautiful and unforgettable moments for countless couples. But if I had to pick just one wedding that stands out as the most memorable, it would have to be the one where the bridal party accidentally knocked over the wedding cake!
Describe your style in 5 adjectives.
My style can be described as candid, natural, emotive, honest, and storytelling.
What about your business are you most proud of?
I'm most proud of the relationships that I build with my clients. Being chosen to document one of the most important days of someone's life is an honor, and I take that responsibility seriously. I love getting to know my couples and their unique love story, and being able to create images that truly reflect that.
What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?
My number one wedding planning tip for couples is to prioritize the things that are most important to you. There are so many details that go into planning a wedding, and it's easy to get caught up in trying to make everything perfect. But if you focus on what really matters to you, whether it's spending time with your loved ones or having a specific type of music or food, you'll have a much more meaningful and memorable day.
What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?
One of my favorite personal touches that I've seen at a wedding is when the couple writes their own vows. It adds a personal and heartfelt element to the ceremony and allows the couple to really express their love for one another.
Describe your typical process with a couple.
My typical process with a couple involves getting to know them and their love story, discussing their vision for the day, and working together to create a timeline that ensures we capture all of the important moments. On the day itself, I try to be as unobtrusive as possible while still capturing all of the real moments and emotions.
What is the No. 1 photo that you think every couple should take?
The number one photo that I think every couple should take is a portrait of just the two of them. It's a chance for them to take a breath and really appreciate each other amidst the hustle and bustle of the day.
What is the most original photo you’ve been asked to take at a wedding?
The most original photo I've been asked to take at a wedding was when a couple asked me to take a photo of their rings on a skateboard. It was unexpected and fun, and it turned out to be a really cool shot!
What do you recommend for a rainy day wedding?
For a rainy day wedding, I recommend embracing the weather and using it to your advantage. Rain can make for some really beautiful and dramatic photos, and it's a chance to get creative with umbrellas and other props.
Describe how you got into photography.
I got into photography through my love for capturing the beauty of life's fleeting moments. Growing up in Cheshire and spending time in Greece, I was constantly inspired by the people and places around me. I pursued a degree in photography from Bournemouth University, and from there, I started working with couples and fell in love with wedding photography.
