My husband and I traveled to the Cotswolds in Sept 2026. We had planned this trip for about a year and had the idea of getting a photo shoot done. I looked up online and found Tanli. I saw her Instagram page and could tell she was talented. I reached out to her. She was extremely friendly and prompt in replying to my email. We booked the shoot months in advance and felt very confident that she would follow through on the date we agreed upon. Once we met up the fun really began. She has a warm and engaging personality. I love the tricks she uses to capture that perfect expression. My husband and I had the best time. It was a fun and romantic experience. The experience alone was definitely a highlight of the trip. But once I got the photos I was blown away. She sent us so many beautiful pictures that we are spoiled for choice. I am not a skinny model and was worried I would not look good. Yet, she captured such beautiful moments and I felt and looked beautiful in the pictures. My husband looked incredibly handsome. After 19 years of marriage we looked and felt like newlyweds. These pictures are a true keepsake. Now, I just need to find away to get Tanli to move to Phoenix, Arizona so we can have yearly pictures taken. Tanli is a jewel. You would be very fortunate to hire her for a photo shoot or event. Sincerely from the bottom of my heart, thank you Tanli!!!!

Tanli was our wedding photographer in August and she was absolutely wonderful! We are so pleased with our wedding photos where Tanli captured the key moments, the quieter ones and everything in between! Her photos are beautiful, candid and full of emotion. Not only is she very talented, Tanli was amazing on the day! Really kind, confident and reassuring! We loved that Tanli guided us for photos and had fun with our guests! We can’t thank her enough for everything 🩷

All I can say is YAY!!!! There were definitely some tears last night when we sat down to view our photos 🥹 It was so beautiful to experience the day again and Tanli captured the day perfectly. Tanli was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! From the beginning, she was approachable, friendly, and offered her advice whilst always accepting our wishes. On the day, Tanli made us feel completely at ease and although we aren’t the most photogenic people, she worked her magic and were left with so many photos that we will treasure for ever! 💛 Everyone commented as-well about how lovely she was- we couldn’t have asked for more. Thankyou Tanli, for giving us a piece of our special day forever 🥰

Tanli was such an amazing photographer, she helped me coordinate my surprise proposal in the Cotswolds - she was flexible on the day to find a sliver of sun (as it was meant to rain!), made us feel at ease/comfortable with a photoshoot, and went the extra mile to create a memorable experience for both of us! Would recommend to anyone looking for a proposal or indeed wedding photographer, thank you Tanli! Dhruv & Bhavana

From the moment I reached out to Tanli she was amazing so quick with her communication and happy to be flexible in her packages to suit us. On the day Tanli arrived early to make sure she was familiar with the location and was friendly and easy to get along with yet made sure everything stayed on track. Tanli took all the stress off me as I didn’t want to make anymore decisions, she just took control of everything and boy I’m glad she did! We absolutely LOVE our pictures she couldn’t have captured us and our day any better. Living on the other side of the world this could be one of the only opportunities for all our family to be together so I’m so glad we have these memories. Thanks so much Tanli

Loved receiving our wedding photos as it meant we got to re-live the most special day. We are so happy with them and they really showcase what the day meant to us - a small and intimate, family only wedding with a lot of love and this is really clear in the photos. From 1st contact to the last contact with Tanli, she was a pleasure to work with. Very reasonably priced too. She really took lead on the day and kept everyone in check which was great as it meant we didnt have to, and were able to enjoy being in the moment. She was so lovely and so passionate about what she does. She knew where to go for the best photos. I would highly recommend Tanli and so glad we chose her!

Tanli was exactly the photographer we were looking for - knowledgeable, professional and super lovely from the beginning. She provides guidance and direction without being overbearing and our pictures have turned out romantic, candid and stunning. Thank you so much!

We had an engagement shoot and honestly couldn’t be happier with the photos. From the start, everything felt really relaxed and easy, which was great as we’re not the most confident people in front of a camera. The photos came out better than we could have imagined and captured the moment perfectly. We’ve had so many compliments from friends and family already. Thank you for giving us some amazing memories that we’ll keep forever. We can’t recommend you enough!

Tanli was absolutely incredible for our wedding day, from the moment she came into my dressing room she was calm and wonderful! She kept us on track in the morning, and was such a lovely presence throughout the day! The documentary style is exactly what we wanted, with some beautiful portraits too that we will treasure forever. 100% recommend for an efficient and fantastic wedding photographer!! Love, The Kemps

Tanli was amazing to work with from start to finish. She ensured we got the shots we wanted at all times. As a couple who have never done a professional shoot before, she made us feel comfortable and nothing was staged and uncomfortable. The photos are amazing and capture the day perfectly. We love that our lab ‘Wilson’ was able to be part of our special day too and we love seeing him in the photos. Thank you again Tanli!
