About

I’m Tom Hodgson – the guy behind the lens, I like to photograph pretty much anything & everything. I live in the Hope Valley in the glorious Peak District in Derbyshire. Although I’m based in the Hope Valley I will cover anywhere in the UK or even further (but you might have to pay for the plane ticket).

We've just received our wedding photos back from Tom and they are amazing! We couldn't recommend him enough. I first came across Tom on Facebook after admiring his Peak District photos and knew that we wanted him to capture our special day. From the first meeting we knew we'd made the right choice, Tom is very friendly, welcoming and professional and was so good at capturing natural, candid shots of our guests which was exactly what we wanted. So many of our guests commented on how friendly and hard working he was, going above and beyond to blend in with our guests whilst capturing lots of special moments. Thank you so much More...

We had Tom as our wedding photographer. We recently got all our wedding photos back and they are brilliant! Tom was great on the day, organising everyone where they needed to be for our planned photos, and making us all feel at ease. Especially me and Tim. Tom also managed to get some amazing photos of the wedding guests and of us with out us realising he was even there. More...

Tom did the photos for our wedding, he was really helpful and made us feel so at ease. We went for Tom because of the relaxed, natural look of his other wedding photos. He also did the more 'staged' type photos and we were really pleased with those shots too. Highly recommend him. More...

We chose to book Tom because we loved his landscape photography and our venue had lots of lovely scenery. We honestly couldn't be happier. He was incredibly friendly and professional from the outset and put us at ease straight away during our included engagament shoot. This was a great way to get to know him and gave us a taste of what it would be like during the big day (we are not naturals in front of the camera so it really helped!). He was absolutely fantastic on the day and we had so many comments about how comfortable he made everybody and how well he fit in. The posed photographs are absolutely stunning and exceeded our expectations. The candid ones are really funny and tell the story of our day so well. We can't stop looking at them. I would happily recommend Tom to anybody looking for a professional, personable and good value photographer.As an aside, he noticed that my sister had used an upside down 'w' wooden scrabble tile instead of an 'm' (she ran out) on a gift she had made for us. He sent one of his own along with the USB, which was such a sweet gesture. Thank you, Tom! More...

Tom is an absolute gem. Not only is he the ultimate professional (providing talent, speed, and flexibility), he is also just the nicest person to work with. He went out of his way to provide us with an amazing surprise proposal/engagement shoot and I could not be more pleased! You will be getting a stunning product and a fun experience, all at once.

It was an absolute joy to have Tom involved in such a key role on our special day. He captured all the special moments and made me and my husband and all our family and friends feel relaxed and at ease - which in turn helped him to capture some lovely natural shots of the day. We have and will continue to recommend Tom to anyone who requires a photographer for any event or celebration!!! 5 Star photographer!!!! More...

Tom photographed our wedding at the end of June, he was fantastic! Efficient, friendly and captured the day exactly how we wanted it! All our guests complimented on how unobtrusive and friendly you were.

We love the photos and are very thankful for the extra detail and effort you went to!

Would recommend you highly to anyone!
Thank you for being part of our day!

Words cannot describe how happy I was with my photos. My partner (now fiancee) and I live in the US, and having to plan a proposal in a different country was stressful. I had contacted over half a dozen photographers before I found Tom's website.

I was ecstatic that he was in the Derbyshire area and he had experience working in the region where I was going to pop the question. After filling out the contact form on his site, he got back to me within an hour and we quickly scheduled an appointment to Skype and plan the details. Tom gave me feedback on the time of the proposal (was initially going to do it in the morning so it would be sunrise), and he suggested we do it during sunset instead because the landscape was better suited for an evening shoot. It made a HUGE difference in the quality of the photos and it was ABSOLUTELY STUNNING.

After the proposal, we did an engagement shoot and we had an blast. Tom is very personable, professional and easy to work with, and I highly recommend him. I have received nothing but the highest compliments about the photos of my engagement. To capture a breathtaking scenery on one of the best days of my life is challenging enough, but Tom exceeded my expectations and I have nothing but the highest praise for his work.

Brilliant photographer, we really couldn't have been happier with the photographs Tom took at our wedding. He captured everything we asked for and lots more.
I had followed Tom's work for a couple of years as I love his Peak District photography, so he was top of our list when it came to looking for a photographer for our big day.
Tom came round to our house before the wedding for a consultation and to chat to us about the day. He put us completely at ease (which was no mean feat as neither of us like having our picture taken!). On the day Tom was there bright and early to take pictures before the ceremony. Tom was great at organising our guests and making sure that we got the group shots we wanted within a very short time frame (we had another wedding following us!). He was a hit with the kids and loads of our guests commented on what a great job he did and what a lovely guy he is. He promised us a link to our pictures within a couple of weeks so that we could look at them whilst on Honeymoon, which he did - it was lovely to be able to do that!
After we got home he popped round to drop off the lovely little bamboo USB of all the pics. A first class job from beginning to end, if you are looking for a photographer we really can't recommend Tom enough! Thank you!

We chose Tom to be the photographer for our wedding in September last year. He was professional and approachable from the first point of contact, and made us feel at ease with the camera, even though both of us don't like having our picture taken! We took the opportunity Tom offered to have an engagement shoot, and it gave us a chance to get used to the camera before the day.

On the day itself, Tom arrived bright and early and set about capturing our day from the getting ready shots, to the ceremony and more formal shots, right through to the ceilidh in the evening. He worked really hard throughout the day and was there to capture all the big moments. All our guests commented on what a genuinely nice guy Tom was, and how he just blended into our day and got on with everyone without making a fuss.

Our wedding photos were ready to view on Tom's website before we even got back from Honeymoon. We loved the bamboo memory stick Tom provides the photographs on in digital format, giving couples the flexibility to create and print photos themselves, or order prints / albums from Tom if they wish.

He did a brilliant job of capturing the day in a relaxed and informal style and has given us beautiful reminders of our wedding. Our particular favourite is the confetti shot Tom captured, which we have just had enlarged and framed for our first year anniversary.

Tom photographed our wedding recently and his professionalism and creativity was first class. He is friendly and approachable and nothing is too much trouble. We took a detour before the reception to Curbar Edge and these photos have turned out excellent, highlighting Tom's keen eye for photographing landscapes too. Everyone told us before the wedding that we would get fed up of smiling for the cameras but we genuinely enjoyed every second. When looking back through the photos we were surprised by some of the photos- we had no ideas they if been taken! Tom captured our day perfectly, thank you!

Tom photographed our wedding in April 2016 and we ourselves were not only very impressed but all our guests were also full of nothing but compliments.

Tom had a way of making everyone feel completely at ease and comfortable, the pictures that he managed to get of everyone will be treasured forever and we really couldn't recommend him more!

The service that was provided (from the engagement shoot to the finished wedding prints) have been to the highest professional standard and it has been an absolute joy from start to finish.

He came to do a job but by the time he left we felt like he was a guest, thank you so much!

We too cannot thank Tom enough for the amazing service he has provided us. We knew we were in safe hands with Tom when we booked him to photograph our wedding in Bakewell in September 2016. As neither my husband or I are from the Peak District, Tom's knowledge of the best places to get the wedding shots was invaluable and we were delighted with the finished results.

Tom put us completely at ease on the day and captured so many memories for us. We were able to review the images online two weeks after the wedding to make sure we were happy with them before Tom sent them out.

Tom is friendly, professional and talented; we would highly recommend him. Thank you, Tom!

This is going to be a bit of a long one, so I will say this upfront for those who don't want to take the time to read the whole thing: Not only was Tom Hodgson an integral part of the happiest day of my life; he enhanced it. Hired initially to candidly capture my proposal, Tom offered to spend the afternoon with my newly acquired fiance` and myself and provide for us an incredible engagement shoot. In my line of work, I've dealt with many photographers, and I can confidently say that this is the best experience I've ever had with one. If you want to hire a true professional who is affordable and remarkably talented, look no further than Tom Hodgson.


Now, to tell the whole story.

My fiance` and I are from the United States and we had been planning a trip to the UK for some time. Being an enormous fan of Pride and Prejudice, she most certainly wanted to see the Chatsworth House while we were visiting the Peak District. Unbeknownst to her, however, is that I had been planning the trip in order to propose to her on the grounds of Chatsworth.

I knew I wanted the moment immortalized, so I began searching for photographers. I came across Tom's portfolio through the Peak District's tourism website and immediately wanted to hire him. I shot him the details, and he agreed.

We spent two weeks corresponding emails back and forth, planning the logistics of the day, and eventually had a Skype session to finalize the details. Once we got to the Big Day, everything went according to plan. Tom and I seamlessly met up, and he was able to secretly follow us to the proposal spot. Once the moment had passed, he revealed himself, and we had the afternoon of a lifetime going around the grounds of Chatsworth and having our engagement shoot done.

Tom, knowing the reason this was happening was because of my fiance`'s love for Pride and Prejudice, brought her a couple different versions of the book to give to her as a memory sake. He also drove us in his van up to Stanage Edge for some beautiful views, shots, and memories. He even drove us back to our bed and breakfast afterwards.

All searches for photography in the Peak District should begin and end with Tom Hodgson. He is a kind, talented professional. My fiance` and I both feel like we have a friend across the pond now; and that is truly special.

We can't thank Tom enough for our wedding photography. Alongside his outstanding photography and attention to detail, he is also just a great guy. He is considerate and professional, yet also manages to be relaxed and laid back in his manner. Tom fitted in so well with our friends and family, and it actually felt like he was one of our guests, not our photographer. Tom put us at ease, and his photography fitted in seamlessly with our day. We will forever treasure our photos and highly recommend Tom to everyone - we definitely hope to use him again in the future :-) More...

Tom helped us out by photographing our wedding on 10th December 2016 - he stepped in at the last minute (the week before the wedding! ) to give us a great day and an amazing set of photographs. After meeting Tom, we immediately felt that he was the right person to come and take photos with us - he immediately captured the sort of things that we wanted and the result was a stunning set of natural shots of all of our wedding guests on the day, along with lovely group shots that were all taken in a relaxed and stress-free manner. We gave Tom a really tough brief - we got married at 3pm in Edale, Peak District and the light started to fade after about an hour - coupled with that it was a pretty grey day with some rain so how we ended up with such lovely shots after the ceremony with our family and friends is testament to Tom's awesome skills! The following weekend Tom took us up to Bamford Edge for a shoot with just Andy and I - we were a little bit nervous about it (neither of us feels totally happy being the centre of attention or in front of a camera lens!) but as soon as we met Tom and started to walk up to the crag, chatting all the way, we felt really relaxed and the result was a totally stunning set of photographs of the two of us with laughs along the way - there were tears when family and friends saw the pictures, totally stunning. We can't thank you enough Tom and are recommending you to our friends for upcoming weddings. Thanks so much! More...

We hired Tom to photograph our recent wedding in Sheffield. We found Tom to be thoroughly professional with a laid back and sociable personality which helped put us at ease throughout. Tom also included an engagement photoshoot which was great to get accustomed to having our photographs taken together and also to guage what kind of shots we wanted for the big day. Tom listened to what we wanted and was extremely helpful suggesting ideas of his own based on his previous experiences of what works well at weddings. Tom captured the day and the atmosphere perfectly with some fantastic shots. He really went the extra mile to produce the photographs that we will be able to look back on to remember a fantastic day.

How can I sum up what Tom did for us in less than 50 characters?
Tom is an outstanding, highly talented photographer. He put me and my wife at ease during our engagement shoot and on our big day. He was there first thing in the morning and stayed till way past what he needed to, making sure he captured every moment. Nothing was to much to ask and he tailored everything to suite our needs.
The pictures speak for themselves and i could not be happier with the end result. If anyone has even a second thought about hiring Tom you just need to see his work.
Not only did Tom produce the best wedding pictures i have ever seen, I also now class him as a friend. You won't regret hiring him I can promise you that.

Tom I know I keep saying thank you but I still don't think I've said it enough. So on behalf of my wife and I THANK YOU!

The beers are on me next time I see you.
