About Us

1000 Words Photography is husband and wife team Tom & Leona (Lee) Burke based out of the San Francisco Bay Area. We are primarily wedding photographers, but do offer all kinds of other photography as well. We've been working together since 1996 and have photographed hundreds of couples weddings. We don't think you can define our style as anything specific, we use a combination of styles to create what we hope is a uniqe perspective. To see a greater representation of our photography be sure to check out the galleries on our website.
Our personalities are loose and playful, we love photographing weddings and really want our clients to have a great time on one of the biggest days of their lives. We work very hard to come up with images that will make you say "I was there and I don't remember it being like that". Wedding photography is different than most other services at a wedding because for the images to look awesome, there needs to be a good working relationship between us and the couple. We're there all day with you so there needs to be a level of comfort and trust. Over the months leading up to a wedding we typically have developed a close relationship with our couples. We still stay in touch with most of our couples and are through the different stages of life (the wedding, children, homes, job changes..). When we book a client many times we are gaining lifelong friends and that is a pretty cool thing.

Dublin Ranch Wedding of Nicole & Garrett  

2 comments






















We had the pleasure of photographing Nicole & Garrett's wedding last Sunday at the Dublin Ranch. It is a great venue to work at with a really good staff. Nicole was the first to arrive on wedding day and had plenty of time to get ready. Little by little the bridesmaids started arriving...and can I say that she had the rockinest bridesmaids. They took care of every detail for Nicole...they went and got us golf carts, golf clubs....anything. They were game for just about everything and we had a great time working with them.












Nicole and Garrett are truely nice, good people and it is an honor to work for people like them. They were so calm and relaxed the whole day and everything went very smooth.












One of the groomsmen is lead singer in a band called Jaymes Reunion and their first album should be out later this fall. Their music is kinda like Matchbox 20. Their song Fine is really good and may get significant radio play.












So another great day for 1000 Words Photography . Thank you Nicole & Garrett for letting us share your day with you.
