Tansley Photography

Documentary wedding photography in Hampshire

Carol and Paul Tansley are a married couple working as documentary wedding photographers from North East Hampshire. Their approach centres on natural, candid and unposed images, capturing the emotions and real moments of a wedding day rather than staged poses. They describe their style as true documentary wedding photography, also known as reportage or photojournalistic photography.

The couple states that for about 95% of a wedding day they shoot in a totally unposed and unobtrusive way, using silent cameras. The remaining 5% is reserved for a few group photos if requested and a small number of couple portraits, which they say never take over the day.
