About Tolman Media

Our founder, Brennan Tolman, started Tolman Media in Utah in 2016. ​​His goal was to deliver beautiful, affordable wedding media to clients, while also providing valuable training and job opportunities to talented photographers and videographers. Since 2016, Tolman Media has expanded into every state in the U.S. and even internationally. Each area has a local group of photographers, videographers, and editors doing what they love, dedicated to providing our clients with trendy yet timeless wedding imagery.​ All team members are required to adhere to Tolman Media's high standards of quality and professionalism. We have developed a timeless yet trendy style and train all of our team members to shoot and edit in this style. We love capturing the beauty of every area and all of its varieties of landscape and cultures. We are always on the lookout for talented professionals with an artistic eye and a client-satisfaction mindset to join our team. We've had the privilege of capturing the wedding day of over 3000 couples company wide so far - and we've loved every second of it!

Why should I join the Tolman Media team?

We make it a priority to treat every client and team member the way we would like to be treated.   We are constantly looking for ways to make this process easy, simple, and fun.​ Every year, this industry gets more competitive with a stagnant number of weddings and an oversaturated market of photographers & videographers. This means it is harder to book jobs without time and money spent on marketing. One of the benefits of shooting for Tolman Media is we handle the marketing, booking, billing, client management, and editing. You save time and money and get to do more of what you love.
