the heart behind the lens
hi, i'm tomas skaringa
Sophia and Brandon stood together, surrounded by soft lights and gentle whispers. In that fleeting moment before their first kiss, everything seemed to pause. Sophia’s eyes sparkled with all the promises they had made, and her smile radiated an abundance of love. Brandon’s hands enveloped hers, strong yet gentle, as if he never wanted to let go. It felt as if even the earth was holding its breath. Then, as their lips met, everyone exhaled—a wave of love, joy, and relief. The surroundings felt warm, filled with the pure love everyone hopes to find. It was a moment when love wasn’t just seen but felt by everyone present. And this was where I felt truly content.

why couples choose as as their los angeles wedding photographers
I can't say enough good things about Tomas himself, his vision, and his amazing work. It's nerve-racking hiring a photographer for one of the most important days of your life-so I'm telling you, hire Tomas!! He's not only the kindest soul, but he has such an incredible vision and notices such small details that your mind is blown when he shows you the photos. I always felt like he truly cared to make sure we had some amazing photos of this special time in our lives. He'll be your teammate from start to finish. And then you'll have SO many great photos, you won't be able to narrow them down! Thank you, Tomas, for your hard work and artistry!!!

We are based in Los Angeles, CA, but our service area includes Orange County, Malibu, Santa Barbara, and extends globally.
We understand that things don't always go as expected, and you might need more time. We are very flexible, and our couples can still add additional hours on the date of the wedding, and that additional rate will be agreed upon prior to providing the extra hours.
We are happy to discuss covering any type of event. However, our niche lies in wedding and engagement photography.
To give the best quality of service, we limit ourselves to 30 weddings per year. We feel that shooting more than 30 weddings deprives us of inspiration, and we want to provide clients with our best and most original work.
Yes, we do have liability insurance. We believe that every professional wedding photographer should have an insurance policy that covers theft and liability protection.
A wedding is a unique and memorable event that may happen only once in a lifetime. We strongly recommend hiring two Los Angeles wedding photographers for the occasion. Your moments are priceless, and having two or more wedding photographers increases the chances of capturing these moments from different angles and covering various aspects of the wedding that a single photographer might miss.
Our primary concern is providing you with top-quality work. We ensure that we use the latest and best equipment that is available in the market. Specifically, we use Nikon top of the line products.
The number of images you receive depends on the package you choose. Generally, the range is between 700 and 1,400 images. Please remember that we will filter the photos and remove duplicates or images that do not meet our aesthetic standards. Around 60% of the images captured during the wedding will be discarded.
Yes, they can, as long as they don't interfere with the photographer's duties and allow the photographer to finish their posed photos so that no other flashes or people are distracting the ones being photographed.
We always share a few sneak peeks few days after your event. We like to keep things exciting!
The assistant is very helpful in making things run quicker and smoother. The assistant helps the photographer with moving objects that do not compliment the images, carries the photographer's equipment, adjusts the bride's dress, holds flowers, and sets up lights if the light quality isn't good enough.

Different couples have different expectations for their wedding photography, so we are open to discussion regarding the price.
Since expectations regarding wedding photography vary on a wide range, our exact terms and conditions might vary after a discussion with you. We base the client's contract on this discussion, making the terms clear and transparent for you as well for us.
Yes, we are experts in post-production and can edit any picture to perfection. There are different levels of post-production starting from basic color correction to a custom level editing. All the photos we give to our clients are color corrected. All album images are custom edited to perfection.
We generally have your gallery prepared within 2 months after your wedding. If your package contains an album, then to receive the final product might take up to a year.
To save your day, we require a 50% non-refundable deposit and fill out the contract. Full deposit is only refundable if the photographer is no longer available to perform or unexpected strategy happens to the client.
The client is allowed to postpone the event if the selected new date is available on the photographer's schedule.
