Evan J Thomas Photography Studio

I originally learned about Evan J Thomas Photography through some family friends. I was looking for a photographer for the day of my wedding shower and our wedding photographer was not available, so I started the search for another photographer.
I know it may sound like a lot to hire a professional photographer for my shower, but the reality was that I wanted my friends and family to enjoy the shower and not have to walk around with a camera. It was really intended to take a load off of the guests and my sister and bridesmaids so they could enjoy the day along with me.
I never actually met with Evan before the day of the shower, and my shower was a surprise to me. I mean, I knew the date and that it was going to be held at my parent’s home, but I didn’t know the theme or even who was going to be coming.
When I walked through the door of parent’s home, I found a Walt Disney themed shower and was blown away! I love Mickey Mouse and all his friends! I know, how corny am I? But I’m just a big kid. In fact, we went to Walt Disney World for our honeymoon.
Evan had arrived before I did so he captured my reaction when I walked through the door. He caught my husband and I hugging our parents and friends when we arrived. He captured all the little touches our bridesmaids, friends, sisters and parents had put into our shower. He got some great photos of the food before it was touched, he took beautiful photos of us open up our gifts and our reaction to all!
He was professional and unobtrusive. I loved him! I have since learned he does individual photo sessions for families, babies, children, head shots, model portfolios, boudoir, engagement, wedding, sports, concerts and really any moment you want to capture. You can see some samples of his work on his website:
Thank you Evan for capturing the memories of such a special day for my husband and I. You are a rock star!

Working with Evan Thomas was a unique experience. His articles and photographs would never disappoint, and were actually some of the most popular our website had. There’s a lot to be said for dedication too, as he was always willing to break a rule or two to get a good shot! This is the kind of person you want on your team any day of the week! Once Evan sets his mind to doing something, he does it right
