Find Your Vacation Photographer

Hi I'm tom, your Los Angeles Photographer
Welcome! As a full time photographer of 21 years and living in LA and Orange County, I bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to my clients. I’ll keep it fun and even make it a memorable experience. Can’t wait to capture your life event. Unlike most, I will provide you a huge selection of full res edited images. You will see a full complement of memories so you can select your favorites of your shoot. Message us now and I’ll respond quickly! On average we provide 150+ photos/hr depending on the shoot, so way over what local lens asks us to provide you. It’s proposal season and we have already had 9 couples in the last 30 days say yes! And we were there. From small weddings to engagements and family shoots and maternity sessions to swipe right profiles photos, we have you covered.
Our last shoot had this to say-
"Tom was an outstanding and professional photographer for my proposal. Showed up early to scout the proposal spot and planned together with me to make our day truly special. Photos were crisp and intimate. I'm very happy to have sought out Tom at Local Lens."
And we can't wait to help you as well.
Once you book/contact us I can send you more photos. Please read my reviews.
Can’t wait to hear back from you.
Tom

I was so happy to have found Tom to shoot my bridal shower. Tom was timely and did a wonderful job capturing as many moments as possible during the allotted time. Tom was kind, polite, and professional. I hope to be able to hire Tom again for my next special event. -Kathy

Tom was helping me with photos of my engagement. Tom was very good at communicating with me before, during and after the shoot. Tom was able to capture amazing photos of when I proposed, to a nice shoot on the beach afterwards. Tom was also good at making jokes to calm us down as we were a bit nervous after just getting engaged and doing photos right after but Tom did an amazing job making us relaxed and capturing amazing moments. Would recommend! -Peter

Tom was amazing. He was easy going, made the day relaxing. He has a great sense of humor as well. We absolutely love the photos and need to sit and decide which ones we want to print. So many great photos. Thank you, Tom! -Sevada
