Abi Sent on 10/07/2026Awesome photographer and videographer
I cannot recommend Tom enough as a wedding photographer and videographer. He is very professional throughout the process of booking and on the day itself. He asked all the right questions to ensure that he understood what we wanted from the day and how he could capture all the parts we were keen to focus on. He didn’t make us get loads of posed photos as that is not our style, and kept things as natural as possible. I feel his price was competitive compared to the different photographers/videographers we looked at, without compromising on quality. The turnaround was so quick too! Just over 2 weeks for our photos and just over 3 weeks for the videos. Thank you so much, Tom, you’re a true gem 💎Tom Stenlake Photography's reply:
Thank you so much for such a kind review. I really do appreciate it.
It was a pleasure to be part of your wedding day and to capture it in a way that felt natural and true to you both. I am so glad the planning beforehand helped everything feel clear and easy on the day, as that makes such a difference.
You were brilliant to work with, and I loved being able to focus on the moments that mattered most to you without making anything feel forced.
Thank you again for trusting me with both your photography and video. I am so pleased you are happy with everything, and your lovely words genuinely mean a lot. -

Couldn't have got through the day without Tom!
I'm so glad we chose Tom for our wedding photography! I whittled down some favourites on bridebook, Tom stood out as his images were so natural and not stuffy or staged.
It then worked out that Tom was a recommended supplier for our venue!
All the prep in the run up to the day was really easy with Tom.
On the day Tom was incredible! Not only did he capture all the key moments in a really natural way but he directed us in how to get some lovely natural shots.
He works regularly with our other suppliers and they had spoken before to make sure they were all agreed on timings.
Tom was so supportive throughout the day. He guided me in where I needed to be and what would happen next. He knows Chicheley Hall inside out and works regularly with their team.
Thanks Tom ❤️Tom Stenlake Photography's reply:
Hi Rebecca,
Thank you so much for such a lovely review. It honestly means a lot.
It was an absolute pleasure to be part of your wedding at Chicheley Hall. I’m so pleased you felt supported throughout the day, as that is such a big part of how I like to work. Calm guidance when it is needed, then stepping back and letting the real moments happen.
You were both brilliant to photograph, and Chicheley Hall is always a joy to work at, especially with such a great team of suppliers around you.
Thank you again for choosing me to capture it all.

When we began looking for a photographer for our wedding we spent a good time looking in to all different ones. We had started to give up by by chance we came across Tom's website and instantly fell in love with his style and we booked him straight away. From meeting him the morning of the wedding Tom felt like part of the party, at times we forgot he was even there he blended in that well. A laid back, natural approach was just what we needed as myself and Jack are not one for posing in front of a camera. He made us feel at ease and kept us in the loop of what he was doing throughout the day.
Our day was very over cast and chilly, however Tom still produced some stunning photos and video footage that we are beyond happy with. We honestly couldn't have asked for a better way to remember the best day of our lives so far! The video footage has been a very big highlight to us and our friends and family with all of us sat in tears when watching the highlight video Tom had put together with two of our wedding day songs

Thank you so much for such a kind and thoughtful review. I really do appreciate it.
It was an absolute pleasure to be part of your wedding day, and I am so glad you felt comfortable with how I worked. I always want the day to feel easy, natural and enjoyable, especially for couples who are not keen on being in front of the camera.
You and Jack were brilliant to photograph, and your wedding had such a lovely atmosphere from start to finish. I am so pleased the photos and film have given you something that brings the whole day back so clearly.
Thank you again for trusting me with such special memories. It was a real privilege to capture it all for you.

Kim Sent on 19/06/2026Back to the 80s Wedding
We came across Tom as he was one of our venues recommended photographers. After looking through his website we immediately knew that we wanted him to capture our special day.
In the lead up to the day, he couldn't of been more helpful with suggestions on coming up with fun and unique photos as we didn't like the idea of stiff rigid portraits. Once Tom knew about our plan to have the Delorean from Back to the Future, he knew exactly what work. Creating the movie poster of course!!
On the day itself, his calm and relaxed approach meant that he blended in with guests and was able to capture natural emotions. His eye for detail on our day meant that we can relive it over and over again, noticing new things each time we looked.
On receiving our gallery of photos both in colour and in black and white we couldn't be happier, he ever provided us with some wonderful Back to Future themed images.
We can't recommend Tom highly enough, from start to finish he was exactly what we wanted from a photographer and so much more.
Thank you,
Kim & Ant
Tom Stenlake Photography's reply:
Of course, Tom. Here’s a warm and personal reply for Kim & Ant 😊
Kim and Ant, thank you so much for such a brilliant review. I honestly loved being part of your wedding day.
From the moment you mentioned the DeLorean, I knew we had to do something fun with it. A Back to the Future movie poster inspired photo was far too good an opportunity to miss, and I am so pleased you trusted me to get creative with it.
Thank you again for trusting me to capture such a special day. It really was an absolute joy from start to finish. -

Absolutely amazing photographer!!
Choosing Tom was the best decision we made for our wedding! From our very first meeting, they made us feel completely comfortable, relaxed, and excited for our big day. On the wedding day, they were absolutely amazing. He were organised, calm, and captured every single moment without being intrusive. They have a wonderful eye for detail and perfectly caught the love, laughter, and emotions of our family and friends.When we received our photos and videos, we were completely blown away. The images are breathtaking, bright, and beautifully edited. Every time we look at them, we feel like we are reliving our wedding day all over again.If you want a photographer who is professional, talented, and kind, look no further. We highly recommend you to look no further!!

Thank you so much for such an incredible review. I honestly cannot tell you how much this means.
Hearing that your husband, and everyone at your wedding, felt completely at ease is exactly why I do what I do. I know so many couples feel nervous about being in front of the camera, so it means the world to know that the experience felt relaxed, natural and genuinely enjoyable.
Your day was such a joy to be part of. Even with the hottest day of the year thrown into the mix, you all trusted me completely, and that made it possible to work with the light, the conditions and the flow of the day to capture everything properly.
I am so pleased the photos took your breath away. Your wedding was full of warmth, humour, love and so many brilliant moments, and it was a real privilege to capture them for you.
Thank you again for trusting me, for making me feel so welcome, and for such a wonderful recommendation. It really does mean the world. -

Ben Sent on 07/06/2026For couples that hate being photographed - Tom Stenlake is your person... Trust us!!
My husband is not a fan of being in front of a camera. So when I say that Tom had him - and genuinely every single person at our wedding - completely at ease, that tells you everything you need to know.
Tom's slogan is "for couples that hate having their photo taken" and he absolutely, 100% delivers on that promise. From the moment he arrived, his warmth, professionalism, and brilliant sense of humour set the tone for the whole day. In those nerve-filled moments before the ceremony, he was a calm and reassuring presence, offering advice, cracking jokes at just the right moments, and keeping everyone grounded. He felt less like a vendor and more like a guest who happened to also be capturing everything beautifully.
And on what turned out to be the hottest day of the year, Tom was on it - giving expert guidance on how to make the most of the light and conditions to get the very best shots. His knowledge and eye for detail are second to none.
The photos took our breath away. Every natural, candid moment and every carefully composed shot exceeded anything I could have imagined. They are genuinely everything and more.
If you're on the fence, consider this your sign. Book Tom Stenlake. You won't regret a single second of it. 🤍Tom Stenlake Photography's reply:

Hannah Sent on 06/06/2026Phenomenal! Perfectly captured memories.
Wow, what can we say?! Tom was the dream wedding photographer you hope to get. Captured every moment with ease- but without it feeling staged. True professional from start to finish; a new venue, not a problem. Dealing with capturing animals - perfected. Always on hand to help with any last-minute outfit issues to, (having a sewing kit to hand helped save the outfit of the mother of the bride.)
Tom provided a guiding hand throughout. He takes real care to ask all the right questions before the day, to enable everything to run smoothly.
The images come back beautifully edited, and really quickly too which was so appreciated.
Would 100% recommend Tom as being part of your wedding team!Tom Stenlake Photography's reply:
Thank you so much for such an amazing review. This honestly means the world.
It was an absolute pleasure to be part of your wedding day, and I am so glad the whole experience felt relaxed, natural and unstaged. That is exactly what I always hope to create for my couples.
Your day was such a joy to capture, even with a new venue, animals, outfit emergencies and all the little unexpected moments that make a wedding day so memorable. I am very pleased the sewing kit came to the rescue too!
Thank you for trusting me, not only to photograph your day, but to help guide things along and keep everything feeling calm and easy. I am so happy you love your images, and it was a real privilege to be part of your wedding team. -

Tom is a great wedding photographer and made the whole day a breeze for us! Really easy to deal with throughout the whole process, very contactable and quick at responding. On the day, nothing was a hassle and Tom was really engaging, getting everyone involved and thinking up some great photo opportunities for us. He helped make our special day run smoothly and he fitted right in with us all as if we'd known him ages. As for the photo's, they're first class. We would highly recommend, thank you!Tom Stenlake Photography's reply:

Tom, we simply cannot thank you enough for our beautiful wedding photos.
You were such a hero on the day, we were both so nervous and you put us to ease almost immediately. Your understanding of what works both in terms of capturing pictures and making a wedding day flow smoothly was so valuable. You played a huge part in an awesome team who made the day unforgettable both for us and all of our guests.
I am so amazed by the photos you captured as we really did feel like we were just wondering around having a giggle for our portraits, totally no pressure and totally us. We could not have chosen a better photographer for the day. Again- Thank you!Tom Stenlake Photography's reply:
Thank you so much for such an incredible review 🥰
It honestly means the world to read this. I know how nerve-wracking wedding days can feel, especially when it comes to having your photos taken, so I am so pleased I was able to help you both relax and enjoy it.
You were an absolute joy to photograph, and I loved that your portraits felt like you were just wandering around having a giggle together. That is exactly how I want couple photos to feel: natural, relaxed, and completely you.
It was a real honour to be part of such an amazing day and to work alongside such a brilliant team. Thank you again for trusting me to capture it all 📸✨ -
