We booked Tanli for our wedding 7th October 2019 at Cripps Barn.Where do we even start?! The photos are absolutely incredible, beautiful, truly perfect. We are blown away by every moment Tanli captured. We haven't been able to stop looking at them all weekend and we are both smiling ear to ear, our faces hurt almost as much as they did on the wedding day! It is so wonderful to see the wedding from a different view than just what's in our memories, and the way Tanli captured the story of it is more than we could have imagined. It sounds silly seeing as it was less than 2 months ago, but looking through the photos has brought back so many memories of moments that rushed past so quickly they were a little foggy in our minds. One of the biggest things that drew us to Tanli's work is her magic style and the passion she puts into every shot. We couldn't be more grateful for having found her to have captured this part of our story, and for all of the time and effort she put in to her photos. The only way we can describe them, is magical.Tanli is truly wonderful, friendly and talented. She was a pleasure to have with us on our wedding day, always with a smile and willing to take those extra shots upon request, even in the rain. The weather on our wedding day was a little wet, but Tanli was super proactive and ensured it didn't stop us from getting the most incredible pictures. It was clear she wasn't going home until the job was done.All that's left now is to find another excuse to use her amazing photography skills; maybe a photoshoot of our cats? :DThank you so much once againMr & Mrs Sidney x More...

Tanli did the photography for our wedding this June in Chipping Campden. We are so thrilled with the photographs and cannot recommend her highly enough. She captured the day so well, taking a mixture of formal bride and groom and family photographs, as well as candid photos which captured the events of the day in a very natural way. Her approach is very friendly yet also professional and she was an absolute pleasure to work with. Tanli blended so well into the events of the day that to be honest, I didn't even notice her taking photographs much of the time! The resulting photographs are a testament to her skill as a photographer. More...

Tanli was absolutely wonderful. She captured the day in such a magical way. All the precious moments, all the fun and all of our family and friends.

Tanli photographed our wedding at the end of March this year and I can’t recommend her enough - we were totally blown away with the final photos from the day. Tanli’s candid style really captured the day as we remembered it with lots of smiles, tender moments and some silly shots for good measure. Tanli was such a professional but so personable and everyone felt relaxed around her. Her creativity really comes through and we have some photos that we would never have imagined. We found Tanli through our venue as we wanted someone who knew the space. Tanli was quick to respond from the start and was so helpful, understanding the style we were after. The addition of a pre-wedding shoot was fantastic and gave us a chance to get to know each other before the day. Tanli’s a real storyteller and we couldn’t be happier with all our shots. Thank you so much! More...

We chose Tanli to photograph our wedding at the beginning of April, and we are so glad we did. It was such a pleasure to work with Tanli, and to have her there capturing our special day; she’s so bubbly, friendly and easy to talk to, and her “candid” photography style was just what we wanted. The results are beautiful and such a great way to remember our big day. Tanli is always responsive and happy to help, she is experienced in the area so knew our venue and suppliers well, and made us feel comfortable in front of the camera (no mean feat!) Would highly recommend Tanli to anyone. Thank you More...

Tanli is incredibly talented and we feel so blessed we found her for our family photo shoot in the Cotswolds. We visited from San Francisco and were looking for a photographer to capture a Christmas card photo of our family + baby + nephews + grandparents and she absolutely nailed it! Her photos brought tears to my eyes!! Her ability to capture beautiful candid moments with a 16 month old is nothing short of magical. I cannot recommend her enough if you are looking for a talented photographer in this area of England. We are so lucky we found her and she is worth every single penny! Or shall I say, pence!

From the very first moment we met Tanli for an informal chat over coffee to discuss being our wedding photographer we knew we found the right person. Her friendly personality shone through and we felt so comfortable and at ease from the beginning. Her style of photography is exactly what we love, and we knew there and then she would capture our day perfectly. A huge winner for us was having a pre-wedding shoot where we had a fun few hours with Tanli getting us used to being in front of the camera, messing about and laughing a lot and making us feel relaxed so that she could capture those natural moments :-) She made the whole experience fun and easy as we're not naturally comfortable in front of a camera. On our wedding day itself, Tanli seemed to be able to get pictures of everything and everyone and yet we never felt aware of a camera pointing at us. We still don't know how she did it! Absolute highlight were the sunset shots we had towards the end of the day - jaw-droppingly beautiful shots that are out of this world! Can't wait to turn one into a large canvas to hang in our house! So many people have commented on the pictures and how fabulous they are, and we can't thank or recommend Tanli enough!!! :-) Simply awesome! Book her while you can!!!

Thank you Tanli!

We were a little nervous for this day as both my fiancé and I had never experienced an outside shoot with a photographer before, turns out, we had nothing to worry about at all, Tanli was amazing! To make things better we only had a short wait of anticipation for ‘how the photos would look’ before they were all edited and sent to us and we absolutely loved them!!

Tanli was warm, enthusiastic and professional from our first conversation. She was very accommodating: we had a rambling country wedding where nothing really stayed on schedule across different locations (an old church, a long walk down lanes, in the fields, in a big marquee) which isn’t easy. She was prepared and efficient- most tellingly during our practise shoot before the wedding which was on the coldest day of the year and in which she completely nailed a shoot in about 20 minutes, but also when trying to get ~200 guests who’d been drinking Pimms since 3pm into a group photograph in a field.

It took a while to decide we were going to have a photographer because we wanted natural, colourful photographs and because Emma (the bride) was a bit nervous about all the attention and feeling awkward. We’ve just seen our gallery and the photos are absolutely beautiful, and feel really personal - and we look so happy. Every photographer or designer friend we show the pictures to us also massively impressed with her work, aside from the fact we think they’re all gorgeous pictures! She’s managed to capture the joy and brightness of the day. We just hope she had as much fun as a guest at our wedding than we clearly did from her lovely pictures.

Q&As

I love that I get to spend my working day surrounded by new people and I get to explore my creative side. Photography is my passion, perhaps even an obsession , and I'm constantly looking at ways to explore this craft. I wish i could have another life oneday where I could become a photographer sooner!

Flexibility regarding working hours and it made sense, since I just love it.

I offer a fairly unique approach to all my shoots. I cant remember the last time i asked someone to look at the camera and 'smile'. I just don't work that way. I have a creative and unique method that I use to get my clients comfortable in front of the camera, and I concentrate on capturing your connection as a couple or a family, as opposed to a variety of static poses.
