About

Hi, my name is Anthony of Anthony Tanton Photography, a wedding and portrait photographer based in Leicester. I’ve been capturing important milestone moments for couples for about 5 years now, and I love every moment of it.

The ultimate goal is for you and your partner to have an amazing day, creating memories together and living in the moment, celebrating one another without the pressure of feeling as though you’re being recorded and in front of the camera all day.

My approach to photography is very much fly on the wall documentary, capturing moments and emotions, little glances and even those goofy joke exchanges without getting in the way. Even when it comes to more posed parts of the day, I like to get you situated somewhere with a lovely backdrop and give you a prompt to get you interacting with one another instead of with me, so even in those posed sections, you’ll remember being with one another instead of where your arm was placed or where you were looking to hold your chin just perfect.

I love working with couples who might feel a little more nervous in front of the camera. By the end of the day, you shouldn't notice me there too much at all!

Wedding day coverage starts at £1,200 and includes full day coverage - from the getting ready moments with hair and make-up, right through to the moments you don't want to be captured, like when that one uncle puts a tie on his head as a sweatband on the dance floor... This package comes with a password-protected online gallery so you can easily share it via socials of the family and friends WhatsApp group, the gallery also has an easy download option so you can download your images to keep forever. The gallery stays live online for up to 12 months after the date. Images are typically delivered within 6-12 weeks depending on the size of the celebration and time of year - busy season, unfortunately, means a slightly longer lead time to account for more days shooting and fewer days available to edit. I do send out a 'sneak preview' of up to around 20 images in the week or so after the celebration with some key images, so you're not waiting long to share those key moments!

From there, I build everything around you and your partner, your plans and your celebration, so you get a package that's just for you with everything you need and want, and nothing you don't!

My most recommended extra is a couples engagement session. This helps us get to know each other a little better and gets you both comfortable with me and the camera, so come wedding day, we can hit the ground running, and you know exactly what to expect! Not to mention you'll get some gorgeous images to announce your engagement or to use for your Save the Dates event!

Next up after that is adding on a second photographer for the day, this means each of you will have a photographer with you to capture your moments of preparation, individual portraits, even wedding party portraits, to have those stories converging at the ceremony.

Another addition might be an on-the-day sneak preview of 6 or so images that you will receive edited on the day during your wedding breakfast to share to socials or with those that can't be there on the day.

You can also add in wedding video services, album production, and prints from small postcard sizes right up to ready-to-hang large format canvases to remember those moments in the day-to-day.

I want to help each and every couple I work with have the best possible day, so if you do need any help with recommended vendors, I'm more than happy to give you a list of preferred suppliers, and each couple will get a full consultation session to go through your day and your needs, a final check in to make sure you have everything you need, and a delivery catch up to deliver your final gallery and go through all of your options for prints and albums.

If you have any questions, you can reach me at info@anthonytanton.com or by messaging me right here on Hitched.

Excellent Photographer

We decided to work with Anthony for our wedding and he did not disappoint. We absolutely loved the photos and he was great to work with! We scoped out a few picture spots beforehand and he provided excellent input, he really has a great eye. He was also great working with our friends and family (including kids) for the family/group photos. Always seemed to say the right thing to get a nice smile. As a bonus, got a few cool pics with the drone. 10/10 would recommend.

Incredible from start to finish, the most amazing photographer and genuinely beautiful person!

Anthony was our photographer for our wedding day and all we can say is - what a bloody lovely human being! He made the experience from start to finish an absolute pleasure, right from initially enquiring, having a chat over video call, from being there early morning whilst we were getting ready, right up until we were dancing the night away.
The guests adored him, all day everyone was coming up to me and complimenting him. He was getting involved and chatting away with everyone- he just felt like a guest at our wedding and that was so nice!
He is so passionate about his job and that really shows in his photos, he kept getting so excited about all the photo opportunities, and showing us little sneak previews when he captured something wonderful - which got us really excited too!
We literally cannot wait to get our photos back, I must think about it 10 times a day I’m that excited!! Haha. I cannot wait to relive the day from start to finish through the magical pictures taken.
Anthony, we cannot thank you enough for capturing our special day, you’ve made special memories that will last a lifetime and more! You are truly incredible and we will forever recommend you to everyone ❤️

Abbott Wedding with Anthony Tanton

Anthony was dedicated, friendly and hard working from the start, he answered all our questions quickly and had fantastic photograohy suggestions that really enhanced the day. Very dedicated, he scouted out all the locations before the day which meant that the day itself was very quick and efficient. He was super friendly throughtout and very understanding regarding family dynamics and sensitive issues. Also, the photos are incredible, he's got a natural gift for photography. He made the day a lot easier. Would recommend to anyone!

Best wedding photographer around!

We chose Anthony to be our wedding photographer from his collection of photos online. From start to finish Anthony was great to work with. The process of booking him was easy and he communicated with us throughout. If we had any questions he was sure to respond quick! He really understood what we were looking for and the vibe of our wedding. On the day he was so helpful, even with things that weren’t to do with photography (helping me make sure my tie and pocket square were done correctly!). Anthony was so calm and professional throughout the day ensuring he captured every moment so nothing was missed. When we received our gallery, we were in shock. We could not believe the quality of what had been captured, it was over and above what we were expecting. Receiving the photos back really made us relive our wedding day. Anthony has even been able to source high quality prints for us in the form of books, canvas’ etc which I would also highly recommend. You really do get what you pay for with Anthony and I would book him again in a heart beat and recommend to anyone who wants an excellent quality photographer! Thank you Anthony for capturing our wedding day and allowing us to relive the day over and over again!

Absolutely fantastic!!

I honestly don't know how to put into words how incredible Anthony is! He was the only photographer we spoke to that asked questions about us rather than just showing off their portfolio and album offers.
Throughout the whole process he has always been at the end of the phone/email which was super helpful.

On the Wedding Day itself he fitted right into the madness of our friends and family. Everyone spoke about how kind, friendly and fun he was and nothing was too much to ask of him!

We have only seen our previews so far but they are stunning and I am so looking forward to seeing the rest of his incredible work!

If you are looking for a wedding photographer then book Anthony!
