Thomas Wells Photography
Must love dogs. I had known Melissa and Matt had been engaged for a little while. I also knew that they were starting to plan their wedding. I was secretly (o.k., maybe not so secretly) hoping they would choose me to be their photographer. I dropped some not-so-subtle hints along the way suggesting that their dream photographer […]
Out of the ordinary. If you’re lucky, every so often you get clients with a vision. People with some real out-of-the-box thinking. Risk takers. They are my favorite people! When I was discussing this portrait session with the Surratt family, I had actual goosebumps! I mean, how many families want portraits dressed up as skeletons? Candy, […]
Madison is an absolute pleasure to work with. I know I’m probably supposed to say that about all of my clients, and they usually are, but Madison really is a wonderful girl. She’s smart, well-spoken and friendly and we had a great time in all of our locations. I had the pleasure of photographing Madison this […]
Friends, fun and family portraits. So, I guess it’s o.k. to say it: Sometimes being a photographer is more fun than work. Sessions like this one prove that. When everyone is wearing a smile on their face, all laughing and having a good time, it’s easy to forget that this is my job. But […]
Portraits with Jess. I really enjoy what I do. Taking photos is my life. Thankfully, there are people out there who pay me to do what I love and I can’t ask for more than that! So it’s always a special pleasure when I get a repeat client. Most importantly, it means they liked my […]
A hurricane can’t stop true love. And hurricane Matthew didn’t stop these two from getting married! When faced with a wedding day full of cloudy skies and rain, some brides would simply buckle under the pressure. But not Elizabeth! Both she and Tim were upbeat and super happy to be getting married! They didn’t care […]
Engagement – Jess and Clark. Jess and I hit it off immediately because she knew exactly what she wanted out of her engagement photos. I LOVE that in a client! She’s a no-nonsense woman who keeps her eye on the prize and works until she gets things done. She’s dedicated. Determined. Driven. Just ask her how […]
Styled wedding – Jenny and Adam. Styled shoots are always a lot of fun! You get to do everything you’d normally do on a typical wedding day without all of the pressure and hectic schedule. Though planning a shoot like this isn’t easy. Adding the title of wedding coordinator to your title adds a lot of […]
Concert photography – Huey Lewis and the News. Let me start by saying how much I love 80’s music. I grew up in the 80’s and loved everything about it! I wore four Swatch watches on my arm at the same time, kicked around on a skateboard in checkerboard Vans and cut my hair to look like […]
STYLED SHOOT – HOPE & COLE. As a photographer, when you have a chance to shoot at Sierra Vista in Bedford, Virginia, you take it. It’s an absolutely beautiful place, has many different spots for great photos and is very close to home. You just can’t lose. Hope Canzone and Cole Crumper are an amazing couple! […]
