Capturing The Moments That Truly Matter

My style is all about blending in & making you & your family feel at ease. I have been documenting weddings for more than a decade, & I want to give you the chance to re-live your day, forever more. Reliving the raw, real & authentic moments.

From the laughter during bridal prep to the joyful chaos of kids playing, and the epic moves lighting up the dance floor, I specialise in turning genuine moments into timeless memories. My goal? Is to tell YOUR story as it unfolds, with a few beautifully curated shots along the way.

With a love of details & candids, I want you to remember your day as & how it happens. To be reminded of the ‘little’ things, the ‘big’ things & everything in between.

So, if you’re all about natural & candid photography that captures the raw emotions (not forgetting all the little moments you’ll treasure forever) then I’m your girl!

  • 12 years experience, of capturing the most beautiful weddings! From small intimate affairs, to big and bold celebrations; I have captured it all
  • 100% of my attention, I’m always on hand whenever you need. Whether that be photography or just general wedding chat – I’m all ears!
  • Wedding bestie – yep, thats kinda what happens when people book me. My couples always tell me “its like having a friend on the day!”

Previous Weddings

I’ve been so lucky to work all over the UK.

However, some of my favourite weddings I’ve photographed – include the amazing Combermere Abbey, Bourton Hall & Branxholm Park!

Charlotte & Chris Got married at Combermere Abbey, which was a beautifully sunny day. The girls all had the most relaxing time in the morning getting ready – it was the perfect setting for bridal prep. Prosecco, music and lots of giggles!

The ceremony was in the orangery at Comberemere, its absolutely beautiful with he blossom tree behind them. After the ceremony we all headed outside to enjoy the sun – which is where most people stayed for the rest of the day!

Everyone loved the crazy golf, and enjoyed playing against each other to see who would win. We had some rather funny moments, the lads jumping up and down when hitting a hole in one (they took the game quite seriously I think!)

A special part of the day was when Charlotte & Chris’ little doggy come along to see them and have some photos!

Leah & Christopher married at Bourton Hall, in Warwickshire. They were blessed with what felt like literal G A L E force winds 🌪️😅 but that didn’t stop them from having the best time. They embraced it and we got the loveliest photos 🥰

I actually love photos in the wind, it really gives that extra touch of emotion. The dress moving about & hair flowing across Leah’s face, it’s just lovely (especially in black and white photos!)

We then strolled across the gardens, and found some blossom trees. I LOVE blossom, so I obviously headed straight for it and got them under. Makes for super pretty photos & also lots of giggles when the blossom started falling like confetti – it was perfect 🥰

The day was just so lovely, and everyone was so welcoming and friendly.

Rosie & Jamie said “I do” at the stunning Branxholm Park, this venue is located in Scotland! Surrounded by their family & friends, this wedding was full of love.

Rosie had 7 bridesmaids, all dressed in a beautiful blue. As were the gents in their suits! Jamie wore his Blue kilt – so it was all a perfect match. It was one of the sunniest days that day, so after the ceremony in the beautiful wedding chapel – everyone enjoyed a glass of wine or fizz in the gardens, perfect timing for lots of candids & photos.

The venue has so many beautiful spaces, including the orangery where everyone would erupt into laughter during the speeches (which were amazing!). They even had games for the guests, one of them saw everyone running outside to try and climb onto the biggest wooden chair I’ve ever seen. Everyone was laughing and trying to push more people on to fit!

Rosie & Jamie then had Nala (tier doggie) come along for some photos and fuss. It was such a welcoming and wonderful wedding to be a part of.

Since the moment we booked Tanya she has felt like a friend from that day. Our wedding day was absolutely perfect and I couldn’t imagine not having Tanya there with us. The photos we have received are more than I could have ever imagined. I am eternally grateful for her being there to capture our special day and would highly recommend her to anyone.

I first came across Tanya on Instagram and I loved her style. We booked her for our wedding at Comberemere Abbey and she was so friendly and helpful from the minute she arrived. We don’t usually feel the most comfortable in front of the camera but Tanya made us feel really comfortable and at ease. She also worked really well with the videographer and we are so so pleased with the final photographs.

Tanya is the most amazing lady! Right from the moment we picked Tanya to capture our wedding day we knew it would be amazing. From our first consultation Tanya really listened to what we wanted as a couple, she had the most friendly and welcoming approach. Tanya captured our wedding day in the most perfect light, all of the candid photos to the group shots, these are now memories we have forever and will always cherish. It was a privilege to have Tanya as part of our wedding day, no ask was too much and we will forever be grateful to have had such a wonderful photographer who captured the most intimate and special moments of our day. We felt completely comfortable in front of the camera as Tanya made us feel at ease. If you’re looking for a light and airy photographer to be apart of your day, Tanya is the photographer for you. Thank you for being so amazing.

I cannot begin the thank Tanya enough for our beautiful photos. From our first phone call, to our engagement shoot and finally the big day, Tanya was incredible. Not only do we have the most beautiful photos to cherish forever; our friends and family have said they have never seen such a beautiful album, we also have a friend in Tanya. If you are looking for elegant, timeless photos with a photograph who makes you feel instantly comfortable and helps you with every detail, not just the photos, then Tanya is for you. Thank you again.

FAQs

I don’t have a catchment area, as I cover the UK. From Scotland to Cornwall, Wales to London. Ive been, & cover, everywhere.

I do 30 weddings per year, I limit it to that to ensure efficient turnaround times for my couples.

I don’t generally do face to face consultations, but I do zoom/skypes. I find this works easier for everyone!

To secure a date requires a £300 booking fee, the remaining balance is then due 1 month before the wedding.

An Alternative Church Wedding with Unique Outfits

This shoot was inspired wholly by the vastness and beauty of the venue as well as the unitarians inspiring ethos: Ullet Road Unitarian Church. We chose a beautiful day for the shoot, meaning the light flooding into the building and outside of the building was beautiful. We had a selection of dresses to change into for different parts of the church, and we utilised the late in different rooms and at different windows, as well as the doors for the iconic confetti shots.

Top Tips for Dealing With Wedding Jitters

Your wedding is a magical day which will stay with you forever. However, it’s unquestionable that with a tag like that, there’s also going to be an element of pressure you need to manage. 84% of brides report feeling some sort of stress about their big day. And while a lot of this comes hand-in-hand with planning a large event, it’s unquestionable that standing in front of anyone as the “star of the show” is going to get the nerves jangling.
