Richmond Upon Thames wedding

We couldn’t have wished for a better photographer for our wedding on 4th July. From start to finish, the experience was absolutely wonderful.

The photos capture the champêtre spirit of our day perfectly natural, relaxed, full of light and emotion. What we love most is how beautifully our friends and family were captured: genuine smiles, spontaneous laughter, and all the little moments that made the day so special. Nothing felt staged, yet everything feels timeless.

The attention to detail was exceptional, and the retouching was done with such a light, elegant touch enhancing the photos while keeping them completely natural. On top of that, the wedding book PDF is stunningly curated and tells the story of our day in the most beautiful way.

Paul is professional, discreet, creative and incredibly kind. We felt completely at ease, which truly shows in the photos. These images are memories we will treasure forever. 💓

Fantastic photography from start to end Paul tanner I would highly recommend.

Stunning shoots just what I wanted
Paul was extremely impressive on the day he
Captured the essence of the whole occasion.
We never felt we had to leave our geusts for long and
Didn’t have to spend hours and hours trying to capture the best shots .
It was extremely natural and perfect in every way
I would recommend Paul in a heartbeat he has definitely delivered on the required brief .
We love the photos and will enjoy hopefully for the rest of our lives together xx
I can’t recommend our wedding photographer highly enough. From the moment he arrived, he was so relaxed and approachable that he instantly put us at ease and made us feel like the most important people in the world.

He captured the essence of our day beautifully, from the very beginning right through to the final moments. What really stood out was how effortlessly he got the most incredible shots without keeping us away from our guests for hours. We never felt like we were spending the day posing for photos, yet somehow he still managed to capture every special moment perfectly.

Because of his natural, unobtrusive approach, we had plenty of time to chat with our family and friends and enjoy every part of the day, knowing he was documenting it all. The photos are absolutely stunning, and looking through them brings back every emotion and memory.

If you’re looking for a photographer who is talented, professional, and makes the whole experience feel easy and enjoyable, we couldn’t recommend him more.

Wonderful natural photos

We got married at Morden Park House in July 2026 and Paul was our photographer. He came to my mums house in the morning to photograph me getting ready and was kind enough after the ceremony to travel to the reception on the bus with all the guests to take photos on there. Paul’s style is natural, you don’t even notice he’s there. He beautifully captured the day, taking so many photographs of people having fun unposed. Paul was excellent and I highly recommend him. He was professional, calm and relaxed at all times even when I was feeling stressed. I particularly like the photos he took during the speeches and dancing. Thank you Paul

Paul Tanner Wedding Photography

Paul was fantastic from start to finish, helping get people where they needed to be, and helping us feel relaxed and able to thoroughly enjoy the day. He came up with ideas for photos on the spot that we'd not considered. We now have a fantastic album full of amazing photos that we'll cherish for many years to come. Can't recommend him highly enough!

Fabulous photographer - highly recommended

Paul is a wonderful photographer, takes time before the wedding to get to know you as a couple and how you would like the photos to look.
Paul became part of the wedding, everyone loved his way and style.
We didn’t notice pictures being taken hardly at all as Paul made us all feel so at ease we enjoyed the day without the awkward long winded posing just fun shots, lots of good memories and laughter.
Absolutely love the pictures and the USB.
Highly recommend. Not intending to get wed again but if I did I certainly would use Paul . 10/10

Wedding photography

Paul did a wonderful job of our wedding photos. He was so easy to work with as we were planning the wedding and was very flexible and accommodating. We're so pleased with the final photos and Paul has brilliantly captured so many of the lovely moments from the day. It's been so nice going back through them all to reminisce and see all the moments that we might have missed or forgotten! We would definitely recommend Paul as a wedding photographer.

Beautiful, Natural Photos That Truly Captured the Day

As someone who’s a bit camera shy, I knew I needed a photographer I could feel comfortable around – and Paul was exactly that. His candid, colourful, documentary style was just perfect. He blended in effortlessly with our guests and was never intrusive, which made it easy to relax and enjoy the day.

We absolutely love our photos – they feel so real and full of emotion. Paul managed to capture the day exactly as we remember it: natural, fun, and heartfelt. Nothing looks overly posed or staged, just genuine moments that tell the story of our wedding beautifully.

He also took some stunning portraits of us and our guests that we’ll treasure forever. We’re so grateful for his talent and presence – the memories he’s captured will stay with us for a lifetime.

Kate and Dennie’s wedding Aug 2024

We had a face to face meeting with Paul after finding his info online. He was local to us and had photographed our venue previously. He was one of the only photographers who had whole albums to view online.
He was super chatty and put us at ease.
On the day Paul was amazing ! He went above and beyond to make our day special, he was able to capture all our magic moments without it feeling intrusive.
We had several posed pictures but we manage to fly through them so we could crack on and get our party started.
We have no hesitation recommending Paul and would give him 100 stars if possible.

Totally incredible

Paul was our wedding photographer in June and we were so impressed with his professionalism, friendliness and ability to blend in seamlessly amongst our guests without intrusion.

We had a video call with Paul a few months before the big day to get an understanding of what he could offer and deliver. His down to earth nature and portfolio of candid snaps were exactly what we were looking for.

On the day of out wedding Paul arrived perfectly on time and got straight to work whilst myself and the bridesmaids got ready. It was a chaotic and stressful morning as we were running late with hair and makeup, but Paul with his calming nature made me feel at ease whilst he snapped away and got some lovely shots of us all.

We wanted natural and candid photographs that told a story of our special day and that is exactly what Paul delivered on. He mingled with guests and made everyone feel comfortable infront of the camera, with many of his shots capturing the laughs and smiles of our guests. He worked non stop throughout the whole day and was happy to take photo requests inbetween his candid ones.

We are so incredibly happy with the photographs from the day and were sent them electronically as well as on a usb stick for ease of download.

The cherry on top were the beautiful newspapers that Paul created with our favourite photos that we chose from the day. A totally unique keepsake to treasure forever.

We would highly recommend Paul to anyone getting married, and we are over the moon with the photos. Thank you
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
