Tanya Ridley Photography

I’m Tanya Ridley — a Kidderminster-based wedding photographer who loves being part of your day as more than just the person with a camera. My work is rooted in a light, airy and whimsical edit that feels timeless and pretty; I aim to create wedding photos that you’ll want to hang on your walls and look back on for years to come. My approach is relaxed and friendly — many couples tell me it feels like having a friend on the day. I work unobtrusively to document the real moments: the nervous giggles while getting ready, the stolen glances, the belly laughs during speeches and the honest, tender details that remind you how it all felt. For couples who want a little direction, I offer gentle prompts to help you feel natural and confident in front of the camera, but the heart of my photography is always the story of your day as it unfolds. What makes me different is the balance between documentary attention and romantic composition. I’m there to catch candid moments as they happen, to notice the small details and relationships, and to shape a few beautiful portraits that reflect your personalities. I love working across Kidderminster, Worcester and the Cotswolds, and I pride myself on making every couple feel at ease — calm prep rooms, easygoing portrait time and a warm, encouraging presence throughout the day. From our first chat to the final gallery, I make the process simple and personal. We’ll meet (or video call) to go through your plans, and I’ll listen to what’s important to you so I can be ready to capture those moments. After the wedding I hand-edit your images in my signature style so your photos feel cohesive, bright and romantic — always with an emphasis on natural light and genuine emotion. If you’re planning a wedding in Kidderminster, Worcester or the surrounding areas and want a friendly, professional photographer who specialises in natural, romantic wedding photography, I’d love to hear from you. Let’s talk about your plans and make sure your wedding day is captured exactly as it felt.
