About Tansley Photography

Carol & Paul - Multi Award winning - Natural Unobtrusive Reportage/Documentary Wedding Photographers in Hampshire, Surrey, Sussex and beyond. Ranked Top 10 in the UK by the ISPWP. Number 1 in Hampshire WPJA.

Hi, we're Carol & Paul. We shoot weddings all over the South East - and sometimes further afield. Our style is unobtrusive, documentary. We don't orchestrate your wedding day, but simply observe what goes on and quietly capture beautiful images from what I see happening in front of me. Paul is also available to shoot weddings solo, if you don't require two photographers.

We both come from a fashion magazine background - Carol is a talented and creative art director and photographer and was previously the Art Director of Wedding Magazine for seven years, so she really knows weddings! Paul has over 20 years experience as a professional London-based fashion photographer and has shot for You & Your Wedding, Wedding Magazine, Cosmo Bride and many other national fashion magazines and newspapers including the Sunday Times and The Daily Mail. We've been partners for 21 years and for the last five years we've shot weddings together, working at some of the top wedding venues in the South East such as Great Fosters, Wentworth Golf Club, Northcote House, HMS Warrior and The Dorchester, London.

Contact me if you'd like more information or take a look around our website, where there are lots of recent weddings to view.

(formerly known as Stylish Wedding Photography - we renamed the company in March 2019 to celebrate our own wedding this year)

Pricing info shown in the listing summary:
We offer a range of packages from Paul shooting solo with images on USB right through to Carol and Paul shooting with a range of luxury albums.

Paul and Carol created an absolutely wonderful set of memories of our wedding day, which we will treasure.

On the day itself, they were kind and relaxed. They fitted in around us and our families. They captured lovely moments throughout the day without us noticing and without any staging. Very impressive. They made a great team, being in different places around the venues to capture different events and angles.

It was clear that afterwards, they had also done a lot of work to put together a really meaningful album which picked out key events and told the story of our wedding day. I was really impressed that without direction from us they had picked up quickly on who our closest family and friends were and made sure that there was at least one great shot of everyone really special, some great candid ones of people who normally hate having their photo taken and pull terrible camera smiles. This was a real surprise and delight when we looked through the full album afterwards.

I would absolutely recommend Paul and Carol to others who want natural, but fantastic quality photos. I'm so glad we found them and have these memories forever.

Thx Ellie, it was a pleasure for us to capture your winter wedding at Great Fosters in December. I've just uploaded your Sparkler pic as the banner image here - looks so good.

Paul was amazing throughout the whole process - we contacted him VERY close to the wedding date as we only decided to get a photographer very last minute. He was incredibly helpful and accommodating, and gave us all the info we needed. On the day itself, he was excellent - constantly moving around to get really natural photos, we were really surprised to look through the photos afterwards to see just how many he'd taken. He also was happy to do some posed family shots for us too. The photos themselves are beautiful - a mix of black and white and colour - and all of really good quality. Thanks very much Paul, you captured our day perfectly, and we'd definitely recommend you to anyone needed a wedding photographer

Paul was fantastic from start to finish. We needed someone who was able to accommodate some uncertainty about the wedding date due to international visa processing issues. He was so flexible but professional, and stayed in touch throughout the time leading up to the wedding. On the day itself he was very personable and easygoing. He did everything unobtrusively, and we wound up with a portfolio of natural, expressive shots. We can't stop staring at the pics honestly! All of our guests' personalities really shine through the pics, in such a beautiful and flattering way. We are so happy with our choice.

I loved capturing your wedding day in Oxford, where I grew up. So really enjoyed walking through the streets and it brought back memories going punting on the Cherwell.

From start to finish Paul was exceptional!
When we began the process of searching for our wedding phtographer we were bith overwhelmed with the amount of choice available! We managed to narrow it down to 2 and decided to go with Paul for a number of reasons - his style, the galleries were incredible, his reviews - the highest on google and his helpfulness- i was emailing with endless questions and Paul amswered them all honestly and fully. I met with Paul a few weeks before the big day to discus things and he opened my mind to things i did not even consider! I left the meeting having more of an idea how the day would go and what sort of time scale i could expect for group shots etc. On the day Paul arrived where i was getting ready, his collegue at the venue with my husband and they just went to work. I genuenly have no idea how they got half the shots in our wedding album as i just dont remember seeing them! We got married in late December and still had our first look gallery early January! In the end we recieved just under 700 shots and i must have looked through them 700 times! Paul captured moments i did nit even remember - they are purely magical! If you are looking for a friendly, experienced and talented photographer then Stylish Wedding Photography is for you!

Paul and Carol did a fabulous job capturing our wedding day! We have such lovely memories through their gorgeous photos - thank you so much. They were both very professional before, on and after the day, creating a lovely online slideshow and USB of the images. They were discreet capturing natural images of us and our guests which is exactly what we wanted, in addition to capturing some lovely group shots for the family album. Highly recommended.

Paul was amazing from start to finish and we couldn't have wished for a better photographer. He was relaxed with a wealth of knowledge and experience which made an already nervous bride and groom-to-be very reassured and confident. We didn't have to worry about Paul on the day, he got to work right away and wasn't shy to jumping right in and catching some beautiful shots. Toby and I adore every photo that Paul took, he has managed to capture the fun and beauty of our day which we can treasure for years to come. His pricing was fantastic and well within our budget and when we spoke he was really interested in getting the right package that suited out. Paul is clearly passionate about his work and it shows through every image he takes and I urge anyone looking for a photographer to capture their special day to book with Paul and Carol, you will not be disappointed!

We found Paul online and were struck by the simplicity of his photos; very natural, emotive and striking. We loved that you could get a feel of the atmosphere and personalities in his photos in a way that wasn't apparent in other photographers' work. We arranged a Skype call and we were confident of his expertise and experience - and his pricing was excellent, so we booked him! From first enquiry to booking (and indeed throughout the entire process), Paul was super responsive to our questions... which can only be a good thing!

Paul's work is simply outstanding. He takes such beautiful, emotive photos that capture the atmosphere of the day. His style is super natural and we found photos of things we never even realised happened on the day - cheeky sideways glances, nervousness, laughter, tears... It was a joy to look through our galleries and we particularly enjoyed the video he created as a teaser of the full set. He met us at the venue for a pre-wedding meeting a couple of months before, which was super informative and put us completely at ease. He blended in perfectly on the day, but he also guided us at certain points. He was brilliant.

We would recommend Paul all day long!!!!

:) I don't think couples realise how much joy it gives me to read their reviews. When I capture a couples special day, it means so much to me on a deeply personal level. I'm first and foremost an artist - not a businessman. I want to create images that couples truly love - that remind them of their special day. Not just posed images that are lacking in any kind of emotion, but images that tell a story. That truly capture people's natural laughs and smiles and when my couples look at their images I really want them to feel that emotion and relive the day. I'm so pleased that I did that for Cristina & Pat - such a great wedding day, I had so much fun my self capturing it and then editing their pictures. They made me smile - and that's such a great feeling, sat in my office smiling at someone else's wedding day. It makes being a wedding photographer truly special.

Paul
