We have one less thing to worry about when Tony's the photographer...

As a wedding venue, when one of our couples say they've booked Tony Fanning as their photographer we know we have one less thing to worry about. The photos are always beautiful and he is very natural in getting the best laugh/smile out of the couples too.

Tony was perfect in every aspect!

As soon as we found Tony, we needed to look no further. And on the day, he absolutely delivered. Tony was perfect in every aspect. Friendly and easy to talk to, building that relationship prior, seamless on the day, and equally as brilliant after in the run up to receiving our final photo products. I would honestly look no further than Tony. I assure you that choosing Tony will be the best decision you'll ever make with regards to planning your wedding.

He was so much more than just a photographer!

Tony was our photographer for our wedding, and it was the best decision we made. He was so much more than just a photographer, he helped us with timings, on how to do the buttons on the back of my dress, helping my dad with his buttonhole and so much more. Tony was fantastic, we’re not great at having our photos taken but he made us feel comfortable and relaxed and the photos look so natural.

We can’t thank Tony enough!

We knew from the moment we booked the wedding that we wanted Tony as our wedding photographer. We had our special day on the 27th of July. We can’t thank Tony enough. Tony went above and beyond on the day. He made everyone feel comfortable. Tony didn’t stop all day and worked tirelessly to make sure we got all the pictures we wanted. Thank you for making our day so special.

One of the best decisions we made

Having Tony as our wedding photographer was one of the best decisions we made. He was very professional and fun at the same time so any awkwardness we had felt was quickly gone. The photos turned out great and for the first time I actually love pictures of myself. Thank you Tony for capturing our elopement so we can remember the day for ever.

We are over the moon!

We are over the moon that we chose Tony to capture our special day. Not only were the photographs absolutely amazing, but Tony was fantastic on the day. I’m not a big fan of having my photo taken but he made it so fun, natural, and made us feel really comfortable. We had a zoom meeting with Tony prior to the our wedding day, and he really listened to what we wanted and captured exactly that. I would have no hesitation in recommending Tony- he’s truly talented, clearly very passionate about what

He was incredibly discreet!

We hired Tony to be the photographer at our wedding and he was absolutely fantastic. He managed to capture hundreds of amazing moments between us, and hundreds of great pictures of our friends enabling us to see their experience of our wedding as well as our own. Further more, he was incredibly discreet! We genuinely didn’t know he was there for most of it! Our guests love the images as much as we do, and we would thoroughly recommend Tony for your special day!
