Commercial Photography can look a bit boring and it’s important to find that edge to ensure a client gets the impact required to help their business grow.

One’s wedding is, hopefully, a one off event, and the record of the day through photographs is, possibly, the single most important aspect of what will be a precious and cherished memory. Getting the right photographer is not so much important, more absolutely essential. A wedding is made up of individual moments of joy; smiles of friends and family, intimate moments of shared happiness, fleeting and priceless. It’s not just a case of finding someone capable of spotting these magical snippets but, in addition, it’s vital that the professional has the ability to compose that moment. This is not something that can be taught, not something that can be learned in a lecture room, or picked up through repetition. This is a gift. My sister has the gift, always has had, which has proved an asset of Herculean proportions for her Interior Design business. But until we met Anthony of Anthony Paul Limited, Bourton on the Water, I imagined that apart from sis, this ability was restricted to the greats; Longford, Bailey, Cartier-Bresson. Just goes to show, it pays not to be narrow minded. When we first met Anthony, we initially discussed our requirements for our wedding day and, not being overly au fait with the process, knew we would have to rely heavily on the advice of our professional. We, very quickly, relaxed into the meeting, assured at the outset that we were in safe and capable hands. In the meeting, Anthony asked that we meet again to have a “practice” session. This was important, he told us, in ensuring we were both comfortable in his presence on the day, and any shots he managed would have a much more natural feel to them. We met in Bourton and Anthony took us to Notgrove, where he and us had a very enjoyable meander through the beautiful Cotswold village, as Anthony effortlessly directed the stroll. The resulting shots has left us with a lasting sense of just how much in love we are with one another. This mans' ability to capture, not so much a moment, but more an emotion, inspires complete confidence. Before signing the contracts, Anthony sat us down and went through a comprehensive check list of the kind of day we wanted the photographs to portray, from options such as a fun or a romantic occasion, with an array of sub-categories which guaranteed our day would be just as we wanted it to be. One is often left wondering whether the images on photographers websites are contrived or if they actually do show the professionals ability. Any body looking for someone to capture the essence of a wedding day, need have no fear that the stunning work shown on his website, is anything other than the genuine article, and need look no further than Anthony Paul Photography. This chaps service is first class and we look forward to posting examples of his considerable skill on our Facebook page More...

We needed some photography to show off our new safari tents at Notgrove Holidays and was really impressed when Anthony arrived within a few hours of the phone call to take them - he caught the perfect evening light and the photos look superb.

I would highly recommend Anthony Paul photography, I wanted my daughter to have a birthday shoot and decided to go with an enchanting story scene shoot, from the moment we arrived he was very welcoming, my daughter loved every minute of it! she loved doing the different poses for different scenes, she’s usually very shy but this wasn’t the case, my daughters words ‘it was the best photo shoot she’s been too’! And WOW to the finished images they’re truly sensational, you wouldn’t be disappointed! Antony has got such a talent and brought magic to my daughters eyes. Couldn’t thank you enough Antony! 5* More...

Over the past 10 years I have had the pleasure of watching Tony Inwood network and develop his business into the highly professional photographic service there is around - and aside from his passion (and now recognition) for showcasing the Cotswold's - pictures available for those of us working in tourism to access, Tony also captured some super pictures for The Old School website over the years. More recently I commissioned Tony to do a family shoot as a Christmas present - and what results. Early one morning to get the best golden warm light, autumn sunshine and leaves and the most endearing photos of three beautiful daughters and their parents. I could not stop looking at them. Tony clearly has the knack of making people feel relaxed, of enveloping the surroundings too without over-whelming the subject, and just making people and personalities shine through. He is a charming, calming gent, proactive, professional, with great attention to detail, always creative and clearly loving his work. It shows..... More...

Tony did an absolutely brilliant job capturing the quality of our work in Cirencester. He was quick, polite and always available to answer any of our questions as and when. We’ll be using him regularly from now on. Highly recommended. More...

Anthony has taken some stunning photos of our boutique for us to use in adverts and marketing. He arrived early to familiarise himself with the shop and snapped away including involving some willing customers, which was an added bonus for us (he went through the images with the customers, and saved their favourites for our use). It's refreshing to see professional photos after so many of our attempts! We will definitely book Anthony again, when our shop doubles in size. Helen Spencer, Nellie & Dove, Deddington. More...

Anthony, Tour was very well organised and you are second to none when it comes to hosting and photography. I would definitely recommend 'The Picture Taker' to anyone hoping to improve your photography skill set, listen to Anthony about photography as art, take great photos of Cotswold's and above all explore the hidden jewels of Cotswold's in the comforts of a 4 X 4. Not only did 'The Picture Taker' show me all of the best photo spots, Anthony guided me in terms of camera settings, location, lighting, exposure, leading lines and more to capture stunning photos of Cotswold's. The best thing about this tour is you can continue to use the knowledge going forward. Thank you The Picture Taker, for your enthusiasm and willingness to share your passion and knowledge of photography. More...

Wow! What can I say... Tony has been so attentive to details. From start to finish he has listened and worked with us on every aspect so far. Extremely helpful and the communication has been faultless. We had a pre wedding shoot recently which I have to say was a wonderful experience. Tony is able to capture so much detail and creates very natural shots. He works with you and makes you feel totally at ease. The drone footage was spectacular... a definite must have!! We really can't wait for our special day to see what he creates. I would have no hesitation whatsoever if recommending Tony. Absolutely stunning photography and a wealth of knowledge. More...

We met with Tony over a year ago we're we had a photo shoot, this was a great way to get to know each other and decide on the best way to have our photographs for our wedding. Tony was keen to know exactly what we wanted and what we wasn't so keen on. In the run up to the wedding, Tony was always available to answer any questions I had and put me at ease. He is such a lovely guy and we had the photos within a week after the wedding which was just amazing. All photos were gorgeous, everything we imagined plus more, we are so so pleased with them and all our guests have said just how beautiful they are. Tony even got into the river to take photos of us on a bridge, he really will go the extra mile making sure you get the perfect photos. I couldn't recommend him enough, you won't be disappointed.

The Picture Taker is our main supplier of postcards in our shop The Payne Bridge Gift Shop in Bourton on the Water. As he lives in locally , Tony Inwoods' high quality photographs capture the Cotswolds natural beauty. His images are modern , vibrant and are the best quality postcards available to buy . I would also highly recommend his unique and equally stunning prints of the Cotswolds' iconic landmarks. More...

We had Anthony from The Picture Taker in charge of photographs for our owners day last Sunday. Having only met him on the day, he understood completely what pictures we needed and put us at ease as he was so professional in what he did. We hardly knew Anthony was in attendance such was his ease at floating around and taking hundreds of different pictures that we will use in the coming years to send to owners, post on our website or for social media More...
