Here is what our clients are saying about us:
I. Earl Swisher, principal, The Lawrence Group:
The Lawrence Group Austin met Tom over 5 years ago and has been using McConnell Photography to document our finished projects ever since. He brings to each assignment a combination of creativity that honors our work, and professionalism that respects our budgets and schedules. We are always proud to use Toms images for our PR/Marketing and Proposal Materials.
Cathy Brandewie, Director of Marketing, SpawGlass:
Tom is a creative perfectionist who works tirelessly to capture the images that best represent what is special about a project. He understands how to achieve artistic objectives within budgetary constraints to deliver great photography at a fair price.
Kristin Kautz, AIA, PhiloWilke Partnership:
PhiloWilke has hired Thom three times in the past year so far - I have finally found my "go-to" photographer! There is no need for me to call anyone else. He creates beautiful images that capture the functionality of the space perfectly - and this is very important to me as an architect. Good architecture is better than just good looking - and Thom's eye finds a way to convey the true essence and meaningful representation of a space that will resonate with our potential clients. Love him and love his work! Reasonable fees too - cannot be beat for quality and service!"
Marlayna Glynn Brown, TAG International:
Picking from a slew of Austin photographers is never easy, and I consider the firm I worked with very fortunate to have hired Thomas to shoot several of their projects. Thomas was professional and creative...particularly since one of the projects didn't seem to provide much opportunity for photographic interest. But Thomas made it happen, and delivered quality product that the firm will be fortunate to utilize for a long time to come. I am no longer with that firm, but understand they continue to correspond with Thomas for future products. Understandably so, as his work is top notch."
Amy Sibley, AIA, Komatsu Architects:
We found out about Thomas after he photographed one of our projects for the owner. We were able to purchase the photographs and realized how talented he is. He has photographed several of our buildings, and we hope to have him photograph several more. He is extremely professional, understands how to achieve the best lighting and composition for the element being photographed. He listens to our designers ideas about what they want to see in the photographs. And, lastly, is an incredibly nice and funny person who is a joy to work with."
Murray Legge, AIA, LZT Architects:
