Meet Tom Gregory of Lux Verum Productions. His work is an artistic expression that captures beauty in a fascinating way. "If you're seeking more than ordinary photography, and want to create something unique and powerful, I can tell your story with pictures that not only touch the heart, but ignite the imagination," said Tom. And it's one thing to listen or talk about his portraits - it's another to view them.

"It’s not often I get to have the opportunity to have professional headshots made while doing what I love to do and my tools in hand. Thank you Lux photography mostly for capturing my smile though! It was an at ease experience working with you, Super fun! If you need a photographer, I’d highly recommend him! Thank you Tom," said a recent client of his.

His philosophy is often rooted in this qupte from Ansel Adams, "Don’t shoot what you see. Shoot what you FEEL."

“Lux Verum Productions provides full-service photography and videography that reveals so much more than we can see with the naked eye,” says one-of-a-kind Chapinite and owner Tom Gregory. He grew up around photography, as his uncle was a professional photographer. While in the 5th grade, Tom was running around with the enormous VHS recorder and the tape deck that was carried on his shoulder. And while the rig weighed about 25 pounds, he fell in love with the craft of memories. “Throughout my years teaching high school and working in ministry, photography has always been a part of it, but only recently did I decide to dive into it full time, and I’m loving every second of it. This first year has been a great one,” he explained.

What does Lux Verum mean? Well, the business name is Latin for “true light.” In his work, he strives to connect in a deep and powerful way with the humanity of emotion of whatever is in front of the lens. “For me, the biggest inspiration this reality infuses into my work is the beauty of being able to freeze time, that cruel predator, and capture life on so many levels and preserve moments and events in a way more powerful than memory. There’s a line in a Star Trek film that says, ‘They say time is the fire in which we all burn,” said Tom.

Tom and his wife, Angie, just celebrated their twelfth wedding anniversary in March. Angie is a Physical Education Teacher at Chapin High School who coaches club volleyball and hosts clinics. “We are proudly owned by two cats. Anyone with cats knows they must have both their proper names and a slew of nicknames. Ignacio (Piglet) and Jean-Luc Piccat (Tinky) graciously allow us to sleep in their bed, provided we feed them and show them sufficient affection. We are also in the process of fostering to adopt and grow our family. Soon, we will have a daughter.”

Let’s face it: for a lot of people, getting photos taken or making a video isn’t a joy. Very often, being in front of a camera can make one self-conscious or apprehensive. Maybe you’re a business owner who wants to create some stellar video content, but you don’t feel natural or comfortable. Or maybe you’re tired of taking cellphone pictures of important events. “One of the biggest, most consistent comments I receive from my clients is that I make them comfortable and at ease. After spending over a decade in full-time ministry, I take joy in connecting with people on a personal level so that I can tell their story, whether that’s a headshot session, a wedding, a Christmas mini-session, or a commercial for a company,” said Tom.
