Carol & Paul – The Tansleys
Award-Winning Surrey Wedding Photographers
Our wedding photography is totally unobtrusive, documentary style. Apart from posing for a few family formals or some couple portraits, you’ll barely know we are there. If you wonder why our images look so natural, that’s the reason. Our natural wedding photos capture candid moments, without our couple even realising we’re taking pictures. Moments that you will treasure forever. Having silent cameras and rarely ever using flash means your family and your guests won’t even realise we’re taking pictures. Which allows us to be totally unobtrusive on your big day.
Surrey is such a beautiful county, it has the most woodland of any county in England. From the Devil’s Punchbowl and Frensham Common, both not far from us, to the famous Boxhill near Dorking, there’s so much stunning countryside to see. There are 80 Wildlife Trust reserves in the county, amazing.
