Sharing my appreciation for Tom and his wonderful job photographing our son's first birthday. He captured such precious memories at a time when I was busy hosting, running around, and definitely would not have remembered to take photos myself. Because of Tom, we now have beautiful images that truly reflect the joy and special moments of the day. Beyond the photos themselves, I really appreciated how kind and fun he was throughout the entire event. He blended in seamlessly and was great with our guests. The photos turned out amazing, and I'm so grateful to have these memories preserved so perfectly. Highly recommend! read more

This review is a bit over due. I worked with Tom for some family photos at the end of December. The whole experience with him was great. He made the perfect suggestion for a location for our large group. He was punctual and professional. My daughter is special needs. Tom was patient with her for the entirety of the session. I very much appreciated that. We got our photos back in a timely manner. The photos themselves were wonderful. I am so glad he was able to capture our family memories. read more

We couldn't be happier with our experience with Tom as our photographer. He captured absolutely beautiful photos of our day and had an incredible eye for direction and vision. He made us feel comfortable, confident, and guided every shot perfectly so the photos came out stunning. One of the things our guests loved most was his ability to take photos and send them immediately to their phones. It was such a unique touch and made the experience even more special for everyone. The turnaround time for the full gallery was unbelievably quick. We were amazed at how fast he delivered such high-quality photos without sacrificing any detail. His professionalism, creativity, and talent truly made our wedding memories unforgettable. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer who goes above and beyond and delivers exceptional work. read more

Tom was great! We loved all of our photos. He arrived early, got all of the pictures I had requested, and totally captured the vibe I wanted. Thanks Tom! read more

Just a few weeks before our private wedding ceremony, we decided to try to find a photographer. We put a project request out on Yelp and Tom responded to our inquiry within the hour, sent sample shoots in the location we requested, and had a contract over to us at an incredibly reasonable price. The whole coordination process with him was so easy. He met us at the location and was early, approachable, and professional. During and after the ceremony, Tom captured every moment and totally surpassed our expectations - giving us words of wisdom about marriage, taking us to every spot he knew around city hall, and warming up to our families. We could not have asked for a better experience. Unbelievably, Tom had the digital photos back to us in 48 hours. We received over 2500 photos and have been able to share the gallery with friends and family. The photos came out amazingly and we are so grateful to have found Tom and how he was able to capture the warmth of our celebration. Thank you Tom!!! We would absolutely work with him again. read more

We hired Tom to photograph our company Christmas party, and he delivered exceptional service. He was punctual, professional, friendly, and captured our event beautifully. He had our photos ready two days later and they turned out great. Highly recommend! Thank you, Tom, from everyone at Insulation Labs! read more

Tom was a wonderful photographer! From the very start he was incredibly responsive, which is very important to me. He showed up early on our big day and snapped a ton of photos throughout the day. He has a great personality and all of our guests loved him! His turnaround time on getting us the photos was super fast! We had them a couple of days after our event. We would definitely consider using him again for future events and recommend him to anyone looking for a great photographer. read more

Tom was amazing, kind, and HILARIOUS. He made us both laugh non stop during our photoshoot. We had rented a car for our shoot and the company owner was present during the shoot. That person was extremely rude and almost ruined our moment.. we eloped and didn't have any pictures so this was basically our once in a life time wedding memories and Tom did not let this guy ruin our day. Tom made us forget how rude the other guy was and we enjoyed our wedding shoot together and laughed so much! Thanks for the laughs and memories and the great photos, Tom! Oh, and the photos were suppose to be ready in about 4-5 days since he was busy with other bookings. Nope, he got right to work and sent them the next morning and they were BEAUTIFUL! read more

Tom and his wife Cindy were such a blessing to work with! From the very first moment we met, we told them we tend to be very awkward but they reassured us they would help us feel comfortable during the shoot. They knew the popular areas of Pasadena city hall and put us in several poses. We were able to have fun, light-hearted conversation which I think translated into some really beautiful shots! We finished the day without sore or tired cheeks. ON TOP OF THAT, turnaround was quick!Would definitely book again for another occasion and recommend to others (: read more

We hired Tom for our engagement photoshoot and are so happy that we did. I'm not usually photogenic, so I was pretty nervous and prepared to not like any of the photos, but honestly they turned out amazing. We love them. Additionally, the quality of the photos are great, we didn't have to wait long for them, Tom was very nice and easy to work with, and he was willing to go on a little hike with us to get the shots. We thought the price was very reasonable as well. Thank you so much, Tom!! read more

We are so impressed with LA Digital Photo's work on our wedding day! We first met Tom Keene at a vendor open house, and he was so helpful with his knowledge and recommendations. His insights went beyond just photo and video, and he gave us such peace of mind choosing our venue. For our videography, we were matched with Christian Sanchez, and we couldn't have asked for a better fit. We LOVED Christian! Christian felt like a friend, and his guidance made us feel relaxed and comfortable in front of the camera. We're typically a bit awkward with posing, but he knew just how to direct us so we could feel natural and simply enjoy our day. He also knew our venue so well, which made a huge difference in making the most of the beautiful spaces. Now that we've received our wedding video (in advance of the estimated timeline in our contract which was a pleasant surprise), we're truly blown away! LA Digital Photo captured the essence and joy of our celebration so perfectly--especially moments we had forgotten since now. They really paid attention to us. Their edits captured the details so special to us. This video is something we'll cherish forever. We're so grateful to the entire team and highly recommend their services! read more

Tom was amazing from the moment we met at a very crowded bridal expo and left a lasting impression that ultimately had us choose his company to book for our engagement shoot and wedding. He took two (extremely awkward infront of the camera) people (who never ever take pictures together) and made us laugh and feel more comfortable while shooting our engagement photos. My family and friends can't stop complementing us on how amazing the photos are. We can't wait to have him shoot our wedding! To sum everything up, LA Digital Photo is: Super easy to work with, Very relaxed easy going and non-pressuring, and just all around amazing people, super communicative and responds to text way faster than my own mother. If you're on the fence and he happens to have your date available still, what are you waiting for?!?! Book him before someone else does! read more

Tom was an excellent & highly professional photographer and easy to work with for our wedding event. Even working without an assistant, he was nimble in finding great backdrops for our photos and captured multiple images for every group to make sure there were no blinks or errant glances! His sense of humor kept us relaxed. He was also exceptionally fast with editing, sending us a link to our vast photo collection just days after the wedding. Attaching a few example photos showing his ability to both stage groups, and also catch sweet candids. We highly recommend Tom's services and would happily use him again! read more

I cannot say enough good things about LAdigitalPhoto! When I first contacted them to inquire about videography, I got an instant response. Tom answered my millions of questions & sent me photos & videos they had shot at my venue in the past. I felt like a friend, not a customer so I was not hesitant to book. Tom did a great job of building an instant relationship & trust. We kept contact up until the day about details as they unfolded. Brides you know how planning can get the best of you & everything becomes a blur. I totally forgot about having a videographer the day of because everything was chaos until he showed up right on time, of course! We were blessed to get Christian who is an absolute gem! Him & my photographer instantly started working together & they totally clicked, it was awesome. Christian went above & beyond, not to mention he was such a sweetheart. He was an absolute joy to have around all day! He even buttoned up my dress for me because all my girls had nails on & couldn't do it. I would give 5,000 stars if I could! If I ever need videography again, I will never go to anyone else! Thank you, Tom & Christian! read more

Working with Tom Keene for our wedding photography was like having a BEST friend behind the lens. And Tom IS a professional photographer friend. Trust Tom, don't trust your-amateur-friend-behind-the-camera-friend to take the same pro quality shots. Let your amateur down gently: you can tell them, "thanks for offering but we hired someone, friend." From the start, he was communicative and able to work with our budget. Tom captured our family moments and the ceremony by the Pasadena City Hall fountain with familiarity and ease. We gave him a shotlist and he knew exactly what we were trying to do and lent his professional skills toward our vision. This is so crucial because we felt like we were actually collaborating together. The pacing of his work was perfect, never rushed, yet efficient. His experience, particularly at Pasadena City Hall, was evident as he guided us through various beautiful shots, from playful bubble photos to elegant poses with a Porsche. He knew the place, the lighting, the timing, and the passerby behavior like the back of his hand. We didn't skip a beat, there was no downtime, every moment was used wisely and seamlessly as we scooted from one spot to another. Our entourage worked so well with Tom that it felt like they've been friends for years. Having been in makeup & hair since 3am for a 9am shoot, I was tired, but this photoshoot energized me and kept the excitement going for the rest of the day. I also had some bra issues and Tom gave me a single pro-tip that saved me from any wardrobe malfunctions. If only Janet Jackson had Tom on her team. We had a hater intrude at one point, she heckled us and told us about how her god prefers things one way or another, in stereotypical bigoted (lack of) fashion. Without hesitation, Tom stood up for us and called security promptly while he shielded us--"love is love," he said as he stepped in front of her. These security services weren't listed as part of the photo package, but I felt as safe as Taylor Swift in a sea of fans--because Tom went above-and-beyond. 5/5 Compassionate, empathetic, professional, top notch...are words that I would use to describe him. Would love to work with Tom again. And you would too. read more

We had a wonderful experience with Tom! I was trying to find a photographer to capture our wedding reception dinner with only one month left before the event. I found him on Yelp and decided to hire him based on the positive reviews and his very reasonable rates. I am so glad I did because the photos came out beautifully! Tom was extremely prompt with responding to questions and sending our photos. My guests all mentioned that he was great as well. I highly recommend him and would hire him again! read more

The entire family loved the photos he deserves 10 stars! read more

Tom is a wonderful wedding photographer in every sense--organized, professional, accommodating and excellent at his craft. He kept us loose and smiling throughout the wedding and his experience in knowing what to get helped us to make a timeline that fit our day and what we wanted to capture. He was also incredibly easy to work with during the editing and selects process. The album that came back was high quality, good printing and nice material throughout. Christian was the videographer who we were paired with and he was also great at putting everyone at ease and recording everything we wanted. We ended up with a perfect short edit as well as a long one of our wedding day. We would wholeheartedly recommend LA Digital Photo to anyone who wants their special day captured. read more

Tom is the best photographer out there! He had great communication throughout the entire planning process, was honest, very flexible and was pulled in all kinds of directions to take pictures on our wedding day and did it all with a smile! More importantly, he captured such beautiful photos of our wedding day and had a quick turn around in sending us our photos! We've already received so many compliments on our photos and will be referring him to all of our friends and family! read more

We did a lot of research on photographers and LA Digital Photo definitely stood out. The price was great, photos he had on his website was good , service was amazing and overall just great company to work with. Tom was very responsive before we moved forward with him. We decided to do our engagement and our wedding with him as he is very professional. We actually had our engagement session with him about a week and a half ago and we are happy with the results. During our engagement session he gave us a-lot of ideas and poses to do for our photos. And he didn't make it feel weird either the poses we did felt completely natural. I do want to mention that he was not rushing us in our photos and even went to 2 different city's for us for our pictures. He went above and beyond by providing us our pictures we took the next day. Now that's what I call good service! Me and my fiancée would recommend moving forward with LA Digital Photo! And now that we see how Tom works we cannot wait to see what our photos would look like on our wedding day! read more

Amazing! Tom is a professional. We had our first engagement shoot with another photographer and we only liked about 5 pictures. We knew that was not going to be our wedding photographer. We met Tom and shot our engagement shot again. We loved it sooo many pictures to choose from, he knows how to get a genuine smile from you and coach you on your poses. He shot our wedding photos as well and we're so happy! read more

Tom and his team were amazing! They provided super clear communication ahead of time and surpassed expectations when it came to capturing our graduation ceremony, including giving great direction for photos when needed. The final edited photos were turned around and set back to us very quickly, too. I highly recommend Tom and am so grateful for the work he's done for us. read more

Stop your search for a photographer now, because Tom is absolutely top notch. We just had our engagement photoshoot with him over the weekend and I can't say enough good things about him. He was communicative and prompt for our meeting and ventured out into the woods with us to capture some truly spectacular shots. He kept us laughing and smiling the whole time with easy to follow instructions. He has a real eye for lighting and poses, he was even open to our silly ideas, and every photo came out spectacular. He returned our photos the next day and I'm just so happy with them. I can't wait for him to shoot our wedding next summer. High quality photographer for an affordable price. Thank you so much again Tom! read more

Having our engagement photos taken was the best thing we could have done. Tom was great to work with. He made us feel comfortable and captured great moments. He is creative and fun. He is professional and works with a high level of integrity. He delivers emails, items, etc... when he promises. We loved our experience so much Tom we booked another photo session in a few weeks. He will be taking the pictures of our wedding and any other important events like our kids college graduations, birthday parties, family portraits. We highly recommend Tom and LADigitalPhotos. Thank you! read more

We needed a photographer last minute to take photos of my sons graduation from the Fire Academy, I searched and called LAdigitalPhoto. I think Tom heard the desperation in my voice and canceled an important meeting and said he will do it...Whew! He showed up early to the graduation, got an idea of what we wanted and went to work. Tom is an amazing person super professional he was all over snapping above and beyond what we asked and expected. As he took photos they literally uploaded to our phones live for review, amazing!. By the end of the day we had thousands of photos from a link to review and share. Every picture was incredible. We have used dozens of photographers for different events and celebrations and they were all great but, Tom at LAdigitalPhoto is on another level. We were in awe We highly recommend you calling Tom for any photography needs. Guarantee you won't be disappointed. Thank you so much, Tom read more

Dear God, Tom does amazing photo shoots! I was so happy with his work the first time we did the engagement photos. We used him again for the covid wedding and actual wedding in 2022. Tom was a real pleasure to work with, and everything went sooth. His attention for detail is second to none. When everyone saw the photos he edited, everyone wanted to know who he was, and wanted his business card. I will definitely hire Tom for any photo engagement we will have in the future with the family, and highly recommended to friends. read more

I was so lucky to have stumbled on Tom's brochure at a bridal shop. Even then, I could tell he had good eye. Since then, he's done our pics for our engagement session, wedding ceremony in 2020, and our belated wedding reception Aug. 13, 2022. I used him so many times because I don't trust anyone else. Plus, he's quick taking pics and usually gets the edits back to you by a week. I continue to recommend him to all my friends. read more

Tom was our photographer for our engagement and we chose him for our wedding photos as well - for very good reason.

Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts. -Jr and Ace PS Instant link to photos. Who does that??? Amazing. read more

Tom was amazing at our corporate networking reception! Although only 2.5 hours long, Tom was able to generate over 400 photos for us.

I will definitely keep Tom in mind for any of future events we plan to have in the area. read more

Tom made our wedding day super special! From the beginning, I knew that not only would his stellar work make it memorable, but also his sense of humor and friendly personality. He made my wife and I feel very comfortable throughout, especially during our bride and groom photo session after the ceremony. I don't think there can be another option for us in future events, except to have Tom again as our photographer! Also loved how brilliant it was to see the photos instantly online as they were made, through the link he shared with us and our guests during the wedding. Thanks again Tom, it was a joy and pleasure to have you as our photographer on our special day. Will recommend all family and friends to you! read more

I'm so grateful I booked this company for my videography needs ! Julian was our videographer that day and he was amazing! I can't wait to see our video , Tom responded to emails quick and was so knowledgeable thank you thank you!!! read more

Tom had provided us with his videography services for my wedding. Tom was very good in making sure we got the shots needed to make our wedding video epic. He was easy to work with and was there from the start of my wedding to the closing part of me wedding to make sure he captured everything he needed. I was very happy to have booked him and am looking forward to seeing how my wedding video turns out. Due to my budget having a videographer was something we were not going to have, but working with Tom and his team they were able to work with our budget and I am so grateful I booked him! If you are hesitant in booking a videographer I encourage you it is something you must have. The wedding day flies by so fast and it's nice to look back and watch the wedding and see things you may have missed on the day of the wedding because there is so much going on. I highly recommend you book him! read more
