Tansley Photography was exactly what we wanted from a wedding photographer and more. We had a very small wedding and I was worried about the photographer feeling awkward, or there not being much to photograph, but Paul and Carol gave us the perfect experience and results. They were super friendly and helpful right from the start, and we instantly felt like they were the right fit for us. Talking to them before the wedding and understanding their process took away a lot of my anxiety and helped me enjoy the run up and day much more. Carol and Paul are both extremely professional while being friendly, lovely people. It was a pleasure to have them capture our day. They blended in seamlessy and just felt like two other guests. There was no forced poses or awkwardness - they simply melted into the wedding and captured all the little moments beautifully. I'm not a fan of having my picture taken, but they made it all so easy, and we now have a huge collection of stunning photos we will cherish forever. There isn't a single one we're unhappy with, which I feel is something of a miracle! I would trust Tansley Photography with any special event. If you prefer natural, laid-back photography that captures the soul of the occasion, you can't go wrong with Carol and Paul.

Real photographs, real emotions and real memories, all without the faff. Choosing a photographer for your wedding is incredibly overwhelming with so many options out there. I struggled so much as we just wanted the reality of the day photographed and for the memorable moments to be captured. The Tansleys gave us exactly what we wanted. The photos are stunning, natural and going through them has allowed us to relive the day exactly as it happened. Both Paul and Carol are incredibly knowledgeable and professional at providing great natural photographs that provide a full photo documentary of the day, all without the posing and faff so many photographers need to make their photos look good. Before the day we had several calls where we were given invaluable advice, things we had never thought of were covered so that we were able to have the best photos taken on the day. Looking back at the photos we still smile knowing how we were lucky enough to get that particular photo, without the advice it wouldn't have happened. There were no hidden costs and at a very competitive price especially with how long they were there and the time and effort it took to go through all of the photos before we received the album. All in all I can not express how happy we are. Neither my husband or I enjoy having our photos taken but with the Tansleys help we love our wedding photos. We would 100% recommend them for your special day.

Tansley Photography were absolutely brilliant. Paul and Carol were warm, organised, and kept us updated throughout. They ran us through the day beforehand, so that we knew what to expect. On the day they blended in effortlessly and captured stunning, natural moments we’ll treasure forever.

Paul and Carol are amazing. The photos they took are incredible, and their documentary style was perfect for us in not only being unobtrusive into our special day but also producing photos that actually reflect what happened. Their past experience in fashion photography is made clear when you look at the portraits that are taken, which were fantastic. It’s not a surprise they win so many awards. Paul and Carol took time to meet with us before our special day to help break the ice and go through tips to help us achieve the best photos possible. They were really easy to get along with which is super important as despite the “documentary style”, you will inevitably spend many hours in your wedding photographers company. They were also kind enough to signpost us to past suppliers other weddings had used which was very helpful. Overall, can’t rate Tansley Photography high enough. Thank you for creating such amazing memories of our special day!

After doing lots of research we chose Paul Tansley for our intimate registry wedding in Winchester. We could not have had a better experience. We wanted natural, and candid photos that reflected the family feel of the event and he absolutely delivered. Paul is so warm and engaging and from the first meeting with him we knew we had made the right decision. He has such a great eye, really capturing the emotions of the day. The photos are beautiful and will be treasured for years to come.

We honestly couldn’t be happier with our wedding photos from Tansley Photography. They are absolutely incredible. Every image feels so natural and real — nothing forced, just genuine moments captured perfectly. Looking through them takes us straight back to the day and all the emotions. The attention to detail, the storytelling, and the ability to capture real life as it happens is just amazing. We will treasure these photos forever and couldn’t recommend Tansley Photography enough.

We are amazed by the moments Carol has managed to capture and could not be happier with our photos. We can see why she has won awards! We also loved having Carol as our wedding photographer at Cain Manor. She was a reassuring and helpful presence and completely unintrusive, just slotting right into the day. Communication from Carol and her husband Paul leading up to the event was excellent. They gave us good advice and we appreciated their style: capturing natural moments, with just the right number of group shots.

We couldn't be happier with our experience having Paul and Carol capture our wedding day. Initially, we didn't realise that Tansley Photography was a duo, let alone a married couple. We felt like we were getting two experts for the price of one, especially considering their impressive ratings and numerous awards. From the very beginning, Paul provided endless support leading up to the wedding. He arranged a personalised session a couple of weeks prior, guiding us through what to expect on the big day and offering tips on how to stay natural for the best shots. This preparation made us feel incredibly ready and relaxed. Both Paul and Carol were attentive to our specifications. I had some specific shots in mind, and they did their utmost to accommodate my requests. At one point, Paul even went above and beyond by getting fully into a bush to capture the perfect shot, what a way to show his dedication! Our friends and family also remarked on how friendly and approachable they were, seamlessly blending into the day. We cannot thank Paul and Carol enough for their exceptional work. We highly recommend Tansley Photography for anyone looking for talented, dedicated photographers for their wedding day!

Matt and I booked Paul after much thought and deliberation and we were not disappointed. We are both not the most comfortable in front of the camera but he helped us get the most incredible pictures. The chats beforehand put us at ease and helped us know how to get the best out of our day. On the day Paul felt like a guest - he got amazing pictures but no one felt the pressure of a camera and we are over the moon with the pictures. I could not recommend him more - thank you again Paul they are amazing !

We had both Carol and Paul photograph our wedding in May 2025. They are both so talented and we are SO delighted with our photographs which are such precious keepsakes of our special day! Carol and Paul were such a pleasure to work with; I spoke to Paul on several occasions ahead of the wedding and he was so responsive and helpful talking through the plan for the day. On the day, Carol and Paul worked so hard and captured the most incredible photographs! We are hugely impressed and grateful! We are so thrilled we booked Carol and Paul! I would definitely recommend booking two photographers as there are so many special moments to capture - it is well worth it. We look forward to having lovely albums created so we can look back on our marvellous pictures! Thank you SO much Carol and Paul!

“Paul and Carol captured our entire day and the emotion of our wedding perfectly. The lovely thing about their style is that their photos tell a story, which was particularly important to us as we had decided not to have a videographer. They were unobtrusive, and in the nicest possible way we barely noticed they were there. However, their photos show they were everywhere capturing every moment, their attention to detail is incredible. We absolutely love our photos”
Chewton Glen Wedding

Samantha Ainslie

“Paul was, without a doubt, one of the best decisions we made with regards to our wedding suppliers. His style, unobtrusive and natural, was exactly what we were looking for. The photographs tell the story of our day beautifully, capturing emotions that just can’t be staged”
Danielle & Clayton

Danielle Knowles

“I honestly couldn’t recommend Paul & Carol enough! They are absolutely amazing, so professional and completely put us at ease. They have captured some breath taking moments of our special day – The natural beauty of our wedding with raw and true emotions shown through their mastapeices. We shall cherish them until our dying day”

Comments from our couples TWIA Awards

“I fell in love with Paul’s work looking through the images on his website, I then spent the months coming up tot he wedding looking at his work regularly as it made me smile and feel more relax about the wedding. Paul is not just a photographer, he is a true artist. His work somehow manages to capture every smile, every tear, every expression at a wedding. He works unobtrusively and you hardly know he is there, but then you look at the pictures and realise his images have captured everything.”
Maryam Modarres
Loseley Park Wedding

“Paul was excellent from the moment we enquired. It’s very refreshing to have a photographer that responds extremely quickly when contacted, and who truly knows his profession and is confident in what they do. Our wedding photographs are simply stunning, and we both love Paul’s shooting and editing style. Carol & Paul documented our wedding day the way it happened, and we couldn’t have asked for anything more.”
Joe Cheater
Park House Hotel Wedding Photographer

“So happy with our photographer! We now have beautiful images that captured exactly how we remember our day! Some images capture the emotion of the moment perfectly, and others are beautiful works of art. The photographers were unintrusive making us all feel very comfortable with them being there. And the photo story of our photo album allows us to re-live the best day of our lives through each moment. We can’t thank them and recommend them enough!”
Niamh O’Meara-Ibrahim
Dillington House Wedding Photographer

“I would recommend Tansley Photography to anybody, not just for the great photographs but for the pride that Paul had in what he wanted to and did produce for us. His unobtrusive presence around us and our guests and his timing for catching those memorable moments was impeccable. The choice of a wedding photographer is very stressful as you only get one chance for your day. We believe that our choice was a perfect one. The story of our day will now be with us forever. A true professional.”
Andrew Currie
Small Intimate Wedding at Oakley Court

“We chose Paul and Carol because of their unique style of photography – it was just what we were after and they certainly did not disappoint! They were both extremely professional yet personable and it was great to have them with us on the day. We are so pleased with our photos and would recommend Tansley Photography to any future couples looking for those photos which will capture the emotion and details of their day perfectly!”
Rachel Setter
Gorse Hill Wedding

“I can recommend Paul with complete confidence to other couples, knowing full well that wedding photography is individual to each couple and a hugely important part of a journey. Prior to the day he was everything we could ask for responsive, attentive and professional.On the day he was more smart, committed, passionate and a solidly reliable part of our day. We shared moments with him as our photographer that, although intimate, felt so right and comfortable that we welcomed his presence wholly.”
Natalie Moffatt (Haggard)
Froyle Park Winter Wedding

“From the moment I set eyes on the Tansley Photography Facebook page I was blown away. Paul was quick to get in touch with us and throughout was extremely knowledgable, professional and friendly, going above and beyond. Paul understood the type of wedding we wanted and made some excellent suggestions and recommendations which helped contribute to the success of the day. The finished product was phenomenal and the pictures are better than I could have ever imaged. Highly Recommended”
Gemma Quemby
Stylish Village Hall Wedding

“Paul really is a wonderful photographer. He met us before the wedding to talk us through our day and made us feel total at ease. The photos he took of our wedding day were stunning. He really was able to tell the story of our day which my husband and I loved. All our friends and family keep commenting on how beautiful our photos were. Our special day would not have been the same with out Paul taking such wonderful photos.”
Tara McCarthy (Alliss)
Mercure Bush Farnham Wedding

“The photographs speak for themselves on how good Paul was on the day of our wedding. My family and friends have been praising the photographs since they saw it. He captured all the emotions at right time. Colours are so vibrant in all the pictures… it actually feels like a wedding vs other photographers who have some retro theme going on.”
Janice Falcao
Froyle Park Wedding

“Paul was excellent from initial meeting through to finished article, we had total belief in him from minute one. The story of the day he provided us in photos was a real reflection of how we felt the day went, excellent! I would go out of my way to recommend Paul to any friends should they ask.”
Thomas Dagwell
Walled Garden Cowdray Wedding

“Paul and Carol were true professionals who took all the stress out of the photographs and helped calm me down on the day! They were unobtrusive during the wedding day and took some stunning pictures – clearly knew exactly what they were doing and the results showed that. Their communication has always been excellent, the pictures were exactly what we’d asked for and the final results were gorgeous. I’d heartily recommend them to anybody in the area and their prices were also excellent.”
Katy Schwarz

“Paul is very good at remaining in the background. Hardly noticed he was there which kent he got some brilliant natural shots. Also beforehand, we met at the venue and went through what we did and didn’t want/expect. His photos just seem to have something extra! His coloured photos have an extra pop and his black and white pics are the reason we chose him though. The contrast he get and enhances is very special!”
Emma Aller (Daniels)
Gate Street Barn wedding

“Our original photographer let us down leading up to our wedding, which turned out to be a blessing, as Tansley Photography are fantastic. I’m so glad we chose Paul – he was far more personable, giving advise and tips for on the day, putting us at ease and, on top of that, the photos were fantastic! When all the photos were edited, it wasn’t even too much trouble for him to supply additional photos in colour at our request. We will treasure the photos forever.”
Natalie Lupo

“Guests did not notice the photographers at all, demonstrating an excellent ability to simply blend in.”
Glenn Murphy

“Totally professional from initial contact with help advice and referral of other suppliers for our day. I highly recommend without hesitation. We couldn’t have been happier leaving this important area of our day to be captured and looked at for years to come. Paul is a seasoned professional and knows where when and what should be done next for the entire day. We totally trusted him and the pictures tell our whole story exactly as it was totally unobtrusively. Everyones amazed with his photos!”
Ramin Jahanmehr

“We chose Paul as our photographer because of the skill he uses in his work. He is a very talented photographer who uses photographic technique to create works of art rather than just relying on the fact that at a wedding there are pretty settings and nicely dressed people. We liked the informal images he creates which really captured the emotion of the day and the characters of our loved ones. Emails were replied to immediately and very good advice given on a whole range of issues.”
Caroline McKenzie (Reed)

“Tansley Photography were absolutely perfect, I can’t thank them enough for capturing our beautiful wedding in the best way. The photos really represented the feel of the day, they got shots of absolutely everything, and I didn’t even notice they were there until they came to say bye at the end of the night! The photos are perfect, not a bad angle, fat arm or weird eye blink in sight (always a problem with me!). They also fit in with my many requests, and just went with us on the day when all timings changed.”
