TOMMY Reynolds started his career by shooting artists and musicians, so he’s an expert when it comes to studio lighting and posing. But it’s with wedding photography that he’s found his true calling, where he relies mainly on natural light and rapport to make his couples comfortable. With an abundance of cheer and confidence combined with his cinematic style, Tommy has honed his portfolio, his approach, and his preparation to become a professional wedding photographer that any mother of the bride would be happy with.
On your special day, he says, “I’ll never lose sight of the laughter, the shared glances and the warmth of your love you’ll share.” But what about all the technicalities of shooting weddings, the Canon camera gear, and all of the production work that comes after the day to deliver prints and make albums? Discover how Tommy approaches his camera settings, styling and more in our conversation…
Hey, Tommy. How are you?
I’m good! I’ve been focusing a lot on weddings, which is something that’s always been there (I’ve shot them for a decade) but it has become a much more predominant part of my business. I want to tell people, especially photographers, not to be afraid to try something new as it could end up making you more money.
Your wedding work popped up on my Instagram feed recently, so that new focus must be working. You said you’ve been shooting for 10 years – has the industry changed during that time?
It’s definitely improved artistically and creatively,
