Berkeley-Castle-Review

“Right after booking our wedding venue the next thing we booked was Rob. It was the BEST decision we made. Something about Rob’s photos always made me smile, and that is what I wanted to shine through on our wedding day – whether rain or shine. Luckily we got sunshine and I cannot even come to close expressing how over the moon we are about the photos.

As a photographer, he is incredibly kind and sweet and always managed to make me smile, even when not in front of the camera! It was such good fun, and no fake moments either. He blended into the background perfectly amongst the guests and we are all awestruck at the moments he captured.

When your wedding day goes by so quickly, there is so much, so many moments, that can be missed. Thanks to Rob, we now have those moments for a lifetime. We are forever grateful Rob – thank you so very very much. So much love! Highly recommend him! If you have the opportunity to book Rob – DO it!! You won’t be disappointed” – Maya & Max, Berkeley Castle – Berkeley

“Thank you Rob for capturing our wedding day so perfectly! Your photos are absolutely stunning and we can’t stop looking at them.

You made Mat and me feel so comfortable on the day, which made the whole experience fun and enjoyable.  Your relaxed and natural approach has resulted in photos capturing every emotion of the day. We could not have asked for a better result!

We were so impressed with how quickly you managed to get the photos back to us without compromising on the quality. It meant we could relive our wedding day with friends and family whilst we were still on our familymoon!

Rob is a must have for your wedding day!!” – Will & Mat – Elmore Court, Gloucester

Hyde-House-Testimonial-1

“If you are thinking of booking Rob – do it! You will not regret it. We didn’t spend masses of time looking at photographers, as soon as we saw Rob’s relaxed and laid back style we immediately fell in love with his images and we were not disappointed! We have just got back from our honeymoon and reviewed the 800 images Rob has sent us – and WOW! We are absolutely in love with the photos – they are better than we ever could have imagined!

Rob was an absolute pleasure to deal with throughout – we don’t live locally so didn’t actually meet him in person until the day itself – though it felt like we had known him for ages. We dealt with him via email and Skype and we knew we had picked a calm, relaxed and most importantly friendly photographer who would make two people who don’t enjoy having their photo taken enjoy it for one day! We felt so comfortable the whole day, Rob slipped into the background and caught the moments of our wedding perfectly.

The photos will be a constant reminder of the fun and love of the day and we cannot thank Rob enough for capturing the essence and feel of the day so well. So many friends have commented that they are the best wedding photos they have ever seen, and I think that is a great testament to Rob’s work.

Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU! xxx” – Marie & Chris, Hyde House – Stow on the Wold

Great-Tythe-Barn-Review-1

“We asked Rob to be our photographer for our wedding and throughout the entire process we couldn’t have asked for any more from him, he was brilliant.

Ahead of the big day, he checked in to understand more about what sort of photos we’d like, and then on the day Rob was a star. He didn’t create any stress or get in the way, he was great fun to have around on the day and the end result has been incredible too. We’ve got over 800 photos that perfectly capture our day and have given us some really authentic and great memories.

I was worried a photographer would make me uncomfortable by asking me (as the groom) to do all sorts of cringey poses but that’s absolutely not the case with Rob. I’d 100% recommend him as a wedding photographer if you want someone who will keep it fun but also get some spectacular photos.” – Abi & Rory, Great Tythe Barn – Tetbury

“Hi Rob, Where do I start? First things first, we couldn’t quite believe that we had an email from you already. You’ve managed to get it all to us so much quicker than we anticipated which we are so grateful for.

Next thing. That slideshow! It’s bloody perfect. I’ve now lost count of how many times I’ve watched it and how many times I have cried. You also did something without asking and without prompting which means the world to me and our family. Putting that photo right at the end is everything. Thank you for that. Any conversation. Any text message. I just put the link in even if it’s just DPD telling me when my delivery is due! It’s the perfect way of letting people see the day without having to get them to sit down through all 800+(!) photos. Beth was one of the first people I sent it across to and she rang me multiple times immediately after watching it. She felt a text message wouldn’t do it justice so she had to call me to shout down the phone just how amazing ‘that slideshow’ is.

The actual photos. All of them. Every single one. Even the ones of us pulling stupid faces. Or my five chins when I’m laughing too hard. They are ALL more than we could have ever imagined. They capture the day perfectly and tell it exactly how it was. So many we had no idea you took and that’s exactly what we wanted. And yet you still felt like a part of our day. You fitted in. You were one of us. And you made us laugh and enjoy having those creepy close up shots.

I’m trying to put into words how impressed and pleased we are with everything you did. But to be honest my words don’t do the photos or you justice. You are amazing. You’re made for it.

I have to apologise for not putting this together or sending it sooner but we hadn’t had the chance to go through all of them until last night. And we wanted to make sure we saw all of them and I had time to put the right words together to send to you. But like I’ve put above. There really aren’t any words. They are more. So much more than we expected.

With lots of love and thank you again. Victoria & Owen x” – Victoria & Owen, Elmore Court – Gloucester

Elmore-Court-Photo-Review-2

“Rob, I’m sure you’ll have seen that we’ve been making good use of your photographs already, thank you so much for getting them all edited and sent over to us so quickly. The friends and family that we have shared them with so far have been completely blown away – some were even reduced to tears (happy ones of course)!

As for us, we absolutely loved having you with us for our special day – you made us both feel so comfortable from the outset and everything flowed so naturally. We did as you suggested and sat through the entire slideshow (all 700+ images!) in a single sitting with a bottle of wine and could not stop smiling for the entire way through.

Your photographs will enable us to relive such happy memories for many, many years to come and for that we are so, so grateful – we just can’t get enough of reliving the day from every possible angle!” – Hollie & Ben – Elmore Court, Gloucester

Elmore Court Wedding Reviews

“We spent months searching for “the right” photographer, and we are so glad we did. Rob was absolutely awesome, from the moment we booked him, to the moment we received our professional photos (much earlier than anticipated). On our wedding day, Rob fitted in seamlessly – he was everywhere but nowhere, capturing the laughter, love, mannerisms of our guests & all the best bits without intruding whatsoever.

He is an absolute pleasure to be around, and our photos are first class as they utterly capture the essence of our day, just as we asked for. There is so much to plan with a wedding but genuinely, if you are lucky enough to book Rob, your photos are one thing that you can be assured will be absolutely sublime.

One of the greatest decisions of our wedding day will always be choosing Rob” – Emily & Ed – Elmore Court, Gloucester

Kingscote-Barn-Review

“We received the photos whilst in Sri Lanka and waited until we were in the Maldives to view them. We cosied up just like you recommended with a bottle of wine. We enjoyed every second, you have captured our day perfectly. We laughed, we cried and we only stopped when we were interrupted by the hotel staff who brought us a surprise gift of champagne and flowers! It was perfect!

How you managed to capture some of those photos we will never know. You even captured our first proper kiss on the dance floor even though we were hiding behind our hands!! It’s probably our favourite shot. We visited the family this weekend and everyone loves the photos, we are so happy we chose you; it’s going to be so hard to choose which photos we want up in the house, we have already been out buying frames! Thank you again for everything Rob. Not only are you fantastic at your job you are a lovely guy and it was just like having another friend at our wedding.” – Victoria & Ben – Kingscote Barn, Kingscote

Glenfall-House-Wedding-Photographer-1
“Oh Rob, what a wonderful surprise to come back to on the very day that we returned from our mini moon – you have processed everything so quickly!  We can’t begin to thank you enough for these incredible, incredible photos that will forever be the most perfect reminder of the lovely day that we had. You are clearly so talented and such a master of your craft, we can’t believe how amazing the photos look – you have turned us and all our guests into filmstars…I was going to say we hardly recognise ourselves but that’s not true because somehow we look exactly like ourselves, just…. better?!
You have captured so many beautiful moments, and your pictures are so breathtaking and such wonderful colours… we are thrilled to bits with your work. Thank you so much for all your enthusiasm on the day. I’m sure new small covid weddings aren’t quite the big parties that you’d have loved to photograph (and that we’d have loved to have!) – but you’ve still captured how brilliant the day was.

It was widely agreed amongst our friends that you were certainly “the nicest man in the world”, and your amusing but gentle manner in herding the group shots into shape, as well as your kind direction to our evening shots when we clearly had no idea how to position ourselves, was greatly appreciated.

We will be forever grateful that we saw your work on the Glenfall House blog and managed to secure you to take some of the most special photographs of our lives!

With best wishes and many thanks, from Mat and Virginia xx”- Virginia & Mat – Glenfall House, Cheltenham
Bodleian Wedding Photographer

“Hi Rob, I hope you’re doing well! We’ve returned from our glorious honeymoon amongst the vineyards and sun of Tuscany with a bit of a jolt back to emails, traffic and rain in the UK. Thankfully, your photos came at the right time and we’ve spent the last few days viewing them again and again on repeat!

Thank you so much for encapsulating our happy, magical day and allowing us to re-immerse and re-live it forever. You’re so talented, and we loved how you were able to capture both the casual, random moments as well as the posed shots with our loved ones.  The slideshow moved us to tears.

And thank you for being so calm and lovely on the day, you really put us at ease and we heard lots of our guests say something similar! We’re not sure if our paths will cross again, but we’ll make sure to recommend you if anyone we know is getting married.  Thank you again, Joe and Martha” – Martha & Joe – Bodleian Library, Oxford

Elmore-Court-Review

“Rob became our new best friend! We found him via google, we wanted to stick to Gloucestershire suppliers where possible. Both Naresh and I were a bit nervous about formal photography so we really like Rob’s relaxed style. We were also really taken by what a genuinely nice bloke he is. We knew that there was going to be lots of dancing and Rob was keen to stay well after the first dance to take some awesome “action” shots. He was there for well over 15 hours and smiled all the way through!” Katy & Naresh – Elmore Court, Gloucester

“Rob, Rob, Rob,

Where do I start?  I wanted to ensure I had the time to sit and write to you properly.

We came home from our honeymoon and got cosy on the sofa with a bottle of wine and looked through our wedding photos.

Every single one (yup, all 600 of them) are incredible. They are just what you promised, real moments, real emotion and real memories – all thanks to you.

You made the day so easy. You were funny, patient and made us feel so at ease. You helped us to relax and enjoy every single moment and now we have them all forever to enjoy.

Thank you once again for your effort and hard work. We are so incredibly lucky to have had you photograph our special day. Every person that has seen our photos has commented on how natural and beautiful they are. Ed said it’s all down to him but we all know that’s you.

Lots of love, Hana and Ed – The Delaneys” Hana & Ed – Great Tythe Barn, Tetbury

“Hi Rob, it has been a hectic few weeks, but starting to settle into married life now. The secret honeymoon location was Antigua 🙂 A perfect surprise, and we had a very relaxing 10 days taking in the sun and drinking (a lot of!) rum.

We genuinely cannot thank you enough for the photos that you have took of the wedding, they are more than we could have wished for and tell the story of the day perfectly! It is very impressive how you captured so many moments from every angle of the room…and all very much incognito! We are beyond impressed and will treasure them along with the memories forever 🙂 Thank you.

Very blessed with the weather turnout on the day, and a personal thank from me for your patience whilst putting the dress on, I know I got all a little bit stressed but it was very calming to have you in the room!  All the best and thank you again, Branwen & Pieter xxx” – Branwen & Pieter – Elmore Court, Gloucester

“Truly one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Rob was an absolute delight to work with from start to finish. Communicative, friendly, professional & best of all just a really lovely human! He made us feel so at ease through both our engagement shoot & the big day. We have had so many lovely comments from people on our photos & we will truly cherish them forever. It’s such an important thing to get right about your day & Rob couldn’t have delivered any better. It didn’t even rain on our day & we now consider him a good luck charm for this reason! Would recommend without any hesitation & will hopefully use again for future milestone events xx” – Ali & Harry – Stanway House, Cheltenham

Great-Tythe-Barn-Review-1 (1)

“As soon as my husband and I knew our wedding date, we booked Rob to be our photographer. We knew we wanted him due to his relaxed, documentary style photography, which has the most beautiful lighting. It was great being able to meet with Rob before the wedding so we could discuss what shots we wanted and get some advice from him.

Rob is a fun, chilled guy with an amazing eye when it comes to photography. On the day, he arrived early and soon got snapping away with his soundless camera. He was chatty and professional and really helped to put me at ease during the morning. When we got the photos through in just over a week (which was astounding!) my husband and I were in absolute awe of the incredible photos he took through the day and evening. He really is like a ninja; somehow being everywhere but nowhere all at the same time!

We would highly recommend Rob as a photographer and I am now trying to figure out when I can hire him again! Thank you Rob, it was an absolute pleasure having you capture our perfect day. Mr & Mrs Carrier” – Katie & Adam – Great Tythe Barn, Tetbury

Elmore-Court-Wedding-Reviews-1

“As soon as we got back from our weekend away, we arranged a big viewing gathering with our family. We spent almost four hours continuously viewing all of the photos and the highlights video. We really appreciate all the effort you went to getting them back to us so quickly. It was the perfect end to our staycation, minimoon. 

We all LOVED them! We were blown away with every shot. I was already crying with happy tears by photo five and that was even before we saw any photos with anyone actually in them. You really have captured the  happy, celebratory mood of the day. The formal shots were great and Awstyn and I loved all the photos of us in the fields, walking through Elmore and our first dance. You also seemed to capture a photo of almost everyone there at some point, which equips us with some many treasured memories of all of our guests.

Once again, thank you so much for everything. It was such a tough time with all of the postponements, but you were quick responding and always professional. On the day itself, you were lovely to be with on the day; we loved having you there. And, ultimately, we are in love with our photos. We cannot recommend you enough. Amy & Awstyn x” – Amy and Awstyn, Elmore Court

Great Tythe Barn Wedding Reviews-1

“Rob is an incredibly talented photographer and all round wonderful human being!! I feel so grateful to have booked him to capture our wedding day.   Not only do we have a beautiful collection of photographs to treasure forever but also had the most joyful time.

He immediately made us feel relaxed and comfortable during our couple photos, and then snapped away throughout the rest of the day with us barely noticing. It wasn’t until seeing the processed pics that we could appreciate all the special moments he was able to capture.

Rob is clearly a true master of his craft and puts in many hours to produce spectacular pieces. Thank you so much x” – Jenni & Jacob – Great Tythe Barn, Tetbury

Rob-Tarren-Bristol

“Perfect pictures! Choosing Rob to be our wedding photographer was one of the best choices we made for the whole day! I have known Rob for a very long time through working within the wedding industry. We have worked together on many weddings and photo shoots, therefore when I became engaged I knew exactly who I wanted to pick to take our pics. Rob is so friendly and approachable, making it easy to be around him whilst getting ready and then throughout the whole day. After our couple and family shots were taken, Rob was like a photo ninja taking beautifully sneaky pics that we had no idea were taken. We loved this as everyone looks so happy and natural the whole time! Seeing all the pics online brought all the happy memories of the day flooding back! Thank you so much Rob, as ever we will be recommending you to everyone! Love Mr & Mrs Jones xxx” – Lucy & Jamie – Old Down Manor, Tockington Bristol

Moonraker-Hotel-Review

“Rob photographed our wedding this summer and as well as producing absolutely beautiful and memorable photographs of our special day, he was a joy to have around. We searched for a long time to find a photographer who was not only capable of taking stunning photos, but one that gave value for money and wasn’t completely unaffordable, as many excellent photographers seem to be. Rob’s package of pre-wedding shots gave us a chance to get to know Rob and how he worked in advance of the big day. Rob is a true professional with an amazing eye for a good shot, and on our big day he was discreet (I hardly noticed him there and yet he captured so many wonderful moments)! I love his mixture of formal portraits and candid photography. We will treasure Rob’s pictures forever and are so glad we picked him! He’s a thoroughly nice bloke and very, very talented – I would urge anyone planning a wedding to snap him up! ” – Kate & Tom – St Michael & All Angels & Moonraker Hotel, Bradford On Avon

“Where do we even begin!? We just don’t have enough thank you’s to express how grateful we are. Our photos are beyond anything we could have imagined. The whole day was such a magical blur; so it is so special being able to relive all of the details again.

You were just the best person we ever could have had with us. You made everyone feel at ease, and you brought so much warmth and kindness to the day. You were the extra pair of hands when we needed you, and you went above and beyond for us all day.

Thank you a million times for giving us memories to last a lifetime, and for being such an important part of our day that we will forever look back on so lovingly. You are the best! Lots of love, Abby and Phil x” – Abby & Phil, The Frogmill

Stone Barn Review

“We just wanted to write to say a huge thank you for being our photographer on the day. It was a joy to have you there and we are so pleased we picked you!  Seeing the photos now has just confirmed to us how amazing you are because we literally didn’t even notice you on the day (in a good way!!). The photos have come out exactly how we wanted and it’s so exciting seeing them all and remembering our fantastic day.  It’s been such a pleasure meeting you Rob and having these beautiful shots just completes everything for us.  Thank you so much for everything and we hope you have a truly fantastic wedding season and a good rest after a busy summer.” – Kathryn & Rob, Stone Barn – Bibury

Great Tythe Barn Review Page

“We booked Rob for our wedding at the Great Tythe Barn in Tetbury. From start to finish Rob was exceptional.

In the build up to the wedding Rob was quick to respond to any of our queries and helped with the planning for our big day to achieve the best photos.

Rob was very knowledgable about our venue and during our wedding day it clearly showed. He managed to achieve all the photos we had imagined in a short space of time so we could get back to enjoying our big day. He put us at ease and knew the best locations to get the perfect shots. Robs skill and expertise showed during the rest of the day as he manages to get the perfect natural shots of us and our guests capturing our big day perfectly.

The photos we received after the wedding were incredible and we can’t thank Rob enough.

We would both highly recommend choosing Rob Tarren for your wedding. You will not be disappointed.” – Carly & Adam – Great Tythe Barn, Tetbury

Great-Tythe-Barn-Rachel-Gordon

“Rob was simply fantastic at our wedding at the Great Tythe Barn. Every single one of the hundreds of edited photos that we got we loved – we haven’t found a moment that he missed. Throughout the day he did whatever we wanted, following us and snapping it all. There was no shouting / bossing the groups around and he blended into the background and worked away. We hate posing for photos but Rob made us feel at ease throughout. It was like having another nice guest at the wedding!! We also had the day filmed by Indah Wedding Films – the three of them worked seamlessly together and are an amazing match. In summary, you cannot go far wrong if you get Rob to photograph your day. Thank you so much!!” – Rachel & Gordon – Rodborough Church & Great Tythe Barn, Tetbury

Elmore-Court-Wedding-Laureen-Matt

“Rob photographed our wedding at Elmore Court in June this year and we couldn’t be happier with the photos. The pictures really capture the mood of the day with lots of fab candid shots of guests laughing (and crying) , dancing. I know we will look back at these photos for years to come and be transported back to our wedding day.

So many guests commented on what a relaxed and lovely guy Rob was, and that he seemed to be everywhere and nowhere at the same time – a very talented photographer! He also put my husband and I at ease during the couple shots which was great. Massive thanks Rob!” – Laureen & Matt – Elmore Court, Gloucester

Cripps-Barn-Review-1

“So, we took Rob’s advise… sat down with a glass of champagne, put some music on and I literally did not stop blubbing for a good couple of hours! Josh and I are totally blown away by the incredible photographs that Rob captured of our wedding day. Going through each photograph was like re-living the day all over again. He effortlessly captured the tiniest, most special details of our day, as well as the big, important moments and we will treasure the photographs always – they really summed up the very essence of what we wanted our day to be about; love, laughter and happiness! The day went by so quickly but thanks to Rob, even the parts we may have missed/not have seen we can now keep for a lifetime.

The slideshow he produced was just the icing on the cake! I was emotionally exhausted after watching it but my heart was and is still so full. Rob was so kind, patient and great fun to have there – just like another guest! We loved his relaxed, informal style to photography – he put us at ease from the minute he arrived and made us feel that nothing was too much trouble.

Rob sent our photographs across ahead of schedule too – it was such a nice surprise to receive on a Friday evening. It’s taken me a little while to write this as I’ve been trying to put into words how utterly amazed and pleased we are with everything but Rob is SO SO incredibly talented at what he does and we are completely over the moon with the final photos.

If you’re thinking of booking Rob for your wedding, my advice would be … DO IT! 😍📸

Thank you so much again Rob – we will recommend you to everyone we know! Hope to see you at future weddings we may go to, we feel so incredibly lucky to have had you at ours!

Elmore-Court-Philippa-Chris

“Rob photographed our bonfire night wedding and we honestly couldn’t be happier with the photos. Our family and friends love them too and we have had so many compliments on how beautiful, stunning, wonderful and amazing the photos are, but also how natural and relaxed we look in them.

From the outset Rob was extremely professional and always very helpful, making suggestions and answering any questions we had along the way extremely promptly, and often suggesting things we hadn’t even though of. We were particularly impressed with how thorough Rob was both prior to and on the big day. Indeed, on the day Rob was calm, relaxed and friendly as always, which was definitely appreciated as I felt quite nervous. Several members of the wedding party and other guests mentioned how easy he was to get along with, but also how unobtrusive he was, which meant he got some amazing natural shots. Finally, we couldn’t believe how long Rob stayed with us around 13 hours in total, from the wedding preparations in the morning, right through to the fireworks and dancing late into the evening and felt he really captured the essence of the day.

We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Rob and were so pleased to have him there to capture our big day” – Philippa and Chris – Elmore Court, Gloucester

Hyde-House-Sammi-Andrew

“After booking our wedding venue we were made aware of Rob and as soon as I saw his photos I loved his work. Rob is great, he’s so friendly and calm, on the morning of getting ready he was lovely to have around. Such a professional, knew what he wanted to take photos off and took shots of all the details. He got on great with our guests as well as having great feedback from all the other companies I had around setting up various things. He was happy to take photos of what we asked for as well as being creative with his other shots. We’ve just recently had them returned, very quick, and I love every single one. Captured our day perfectly. I cannot recommend and thank Rob enough!” – Sammi & Andrew – Hyde House, Stow on the Wold

Great-Tythe-Barn-Helen-Simon

“One of the main reasons we chose Rob was because we loved his natural style of photography. We didn’t really want many formal photos but wanted the essence of the day captured. And he did this to perfection. He was completely unobtrusive and is a bloody nice guy so you feel completely relaxed around him. It was also really important to us that our 3 year old daughter would be comfortable around him and that was completely evident when Rob arranged a pre-wedding shoot at the venue. She completely adored him and did everything he asked of her (unlike she does for us!!) so as well as wedding photography I can completely vouch for him as a children’s photographer too!” – Helen & Simon, Great Tythe Barn, Tetbury

Dumbleton-Hall-Review

“Wow we LOVE our photos, thank you so much!! You really have captured the day and it’s amazing to be able to look back over the whole day in pictures other than our own memories. The family pics are amazing too, we are very happy with how they turned out and the church captures the feeling. Everything, we absolutely love! Captured every moment of our day beautifully, from dusk til dawn, a true gent, even helped the bridesmaids with my veil. All of our friends have said our wedding photos are STUNNING! Highly highly recommended. Rob, thank you dearly xxx” – Jo and Jon – Dumbleton Hall, Worcestershire

“Rob! WOW! We absolutely love these, you’ve captured the day perfectly. Thanks again for your terrific effort on the day and this amazing result, we couldn’t be happier. We both just wanted to say a massive thank you for your hard work on Friday. You were exactly what we wanted – keeping a low profile but also getting us organised into the shots we wanted. Lots of the guests also remarked about what a fantastic photographer you were!” – Lynda & Michael – Cain Manor, Hampshire

Great-Tythe-Barn-Review-1-1

“Oh Rob, where do we even begin!! The photos are even better than we could have ever have dreamed of, and there are not enough words to thank you for the absolutely amazing job you have done!  We have thoroughly enjoyed going through the whole slide show (not just once but three times already!) and we are still absolutely stunned!! You have captured our big day so perfectly, and we adore how everyone’s beaming smiles and crazy dance moves shine through!

It’s impossible to pick a favourite, but boy are we glad you suggested taking a few snaps in the field at sunset!! They are absolutely beautiful! And of course for the amazing drone shot of the bridal party, it was such a great memory from the day itself!

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, these photos mean everything and we are so so happy we booked with you so long ago! We had an absolute blast on the day with you and you put everyone at ease. We’re really not exaggerating when we said everyone commented how lovely you were!

Thank you for everything Rob, we will treasure these photos for a lifetime and can’t wait to show our families and guests.” – Charlotte & Stephen – Great Tythe Barn, Tetbury

Barn-at-Upcote-Wedding-Review-1

“I just wanted to thank you again for being the most fantastic photographer at our wedding last month (on your own wedding anniversary too!)

We knew your photos are always absolutely beautiful, but for us to have our own photos from you now of our wedding day is just so special and they are absolutely stunning.

We aren’t typically a couple that takes photos together and certainly don’t know how to stand or pose properly, but with some Rob Tarren kind of magic you’ve given us the most amazing photos for us to cherish forever.   We barely noticed you there snapping away, which captured our day so well and naturally, and kept our day very laid back as we wished. You also took many thoughtful pictures I wouldn’t have even thought of which were very grateful for. And also, oh boy rounding us up from our friends and family pouncing on us must have been a pretty hard task on reflection!

We’re genuinely so pleased that we picked you as our photographer! (I hope you don’t mind me tagging your photos on my Instagram for possibly the rest of my life).  Thank you again!  Ellie & Sean” – Ellie & Sean, Barn at Upcote

Cripps-Barn-Wedding-Review-1

“I don’t know what to say, apart from a massive thank you!!! The photos are absolutely incredible and you captured the day perfectly, there’s a photo of every single person who attended the day too, which we were just blown away by as you just blended in on the day and it felt as though you were a guest. The highlight video caught me by surprise, we watched this on Sunday (with a few tears!!), we’ve both watched it several times since/ passed it around family which has been lovely. It felt like we were reliving the day looking through the photos and also parts we had forgotten about were captured. Honestly cannot thank you enough, you’re amazing!  Thank you, Emily & Toby x” – Emily & Toby, Cripps Barn

Stone Barn Review

“We booked Rob after seeing the photos he’d taken for our friends wedding a number of years ago. He photographed our wedding at the start of August 2017. We knew they would be good but to put it simply, my wife and I were both in tears when we received them – Looking through each of the photos brought us both back to our special day so vividly it’s incredible. – Rob is easily the best in the business and is so lovely to deal with and speak to I would never hesitate to recommend him to anyone!

“Dear Rob, We just wanted to write to say thank you so much for being our wedding photographer for our big day.  It was great to have you there with us and you even managed to make us feel comfortable in front of the camera!  We were absolutely thrilled when we got our photos.  You have captured the day, the emotion and the fun of it all perfectly and we feel like we’re right back there every time we look at them.  Thank you again so much for everything and we hope to see you again soon. Lots of love, Luke and Kim” – Kim & Luke, St John The Baptist & The Bay Tree, Burford

Cripps Barn Wedding Review

“Rob, we hope you enjoyed our special day. We cannot thank you enough for all your hard work. All the photos are absolutely beautiful. You have captured our memories of the day so perfectly. Our family and friends have commented on how natural and candid the photos are and how refreshing it is to see so many unposed shots. We had so much fun and it was great to have you around, you made us both feel so at ease on the day and you truly are fantastic at your job. In the nicest way possible… most of the time, we forgot you were even there!

We recently printed a photo of my family on a canvas for my Nan, she cried when she received it and tells us she cannot stop looking at it and it’s one of the best gifts she’s ever had.

I will recommend you to anyone and everyone.

Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!! and hopefully we will meet again in the future at one of our friends weddings. Gem & Josh xxx” – Gem & Josh, Cripps Barn – Bibury

Dumbleton-Hall-Review (1)

“Hi Rob, Fantastic to hear from you so soon – we weren’t expecting the photos until at least after this Friday, but we were dying to see them, so I nearly had a heart attack when I saw your email!!!

We absolutely LOVE the photos, thank you so much! Our particular favourites – although very difficult to choose – are the shots of just Lee and I with Dumbleton Hall behind (“we could be on a front cover” according to my sister), everyone outside the church, Lee and I by the historic archway in the gardens, the closeup group shot of me and my bridesmaids (so happy and natural), I also clearly need to be coming out of Rolls Royces’ more often as you made me look so great HAHA….and of course our big smiles at the end of the aisle is definitely a perfect moment captured.

All those beautiful photos, and you had quite a lot to contend with considering the changeable weather, our raucous guests, and late running schedule…we really appreciate your hard work and friendly, patient attitude throughout.  Thanks again for helping make the best day, we will never forget it!” – Julia & Lee, Dumbleton Hall, Worcestershire

Frogmill-Wedding-Review-1

“This was a lovely surprise to have the photos back earlier than planned! Thank you so much 💜 The photos are absolutely beautiful and you really captured very natural shots of us with the guests which is exactly what we wanted!

I’m sure I can speak for us both, we are truly thrilled that I stumbled across your page and we chose you to play such an important part of our special day! You are such a kind, caring person & it shines through in your photos. Everyone felt so comfortable in your presence! Josh & I are usually awkward having our pictures taken but you really did capture some stunning photos we shall cherish forever! I shall happily share the link with our friends and family, they will be very excited to see!

I really enjoy looking through your photography so will continue to follow your stories! And will most certainly recommend you to everyone I know! Thanks again for just being so awesome!” – Stacey & Josh, The Frogmill

Priors-Tithe-Barn-Review

“Dear Rob, A little note to say a HUGE THANK YOU for capturing our wedding day just perfectly.  Thank you for putting us at such ease on the day, for coping with me barking orders and for somehow managing to capture stunning photos of two generally un-photogenic people!! We have received so many compliments and as mentioned before, I suspect some of my not-yet-married friends are likely to be in touch in due course!  Thanks again for everything from our initial enquiry to sending through our photos, you were fantastic! With warmest regards, Sarah & Tom xxx” – Sarah & Tom, Priors Tithe Barn, Gloucester

Matara-Centre-Review

“Rob was brilliant and all the guests loved him. So friendly and and relaxed which exactly what I wanted. We also didn’t want lots of posed formal photos so Rob’s style was perfect. We now have the perfect mix of fun photos with a few classic shots to please the family. Rob was so patient – letting us have fun with the photos and those of my now husband pulling faces and photo bombing my bridesmaids are among my favourites. Rob also arrived while I was getting ready and didn’t leave until after the first dance, capturing moments I was too drunk to remember or take in properly!  The photos came back so quickly! Rob is an absolute delight- can’t recommend him highly enough. Would book him again in a heart beat” – Emma & Rob, Matara Centre, Kingscote

Caswell House Wedding Review

“What can we say about Rob? Nothing but positive words as he photographed our wedding at Caswell House. He knew the venue so well which made a huge difference, coordinating with all the staff and knowing all the best spots for photos.

As someone who does not enjoy getting their photo taken, he made us both feel at ease and comfortable, making the whole process so simple. From start to finish, it was easy with Rob. When we asked questions, he replied quickly; when we saw him in person, he was delightful and eased any concerns we had.

Throughout the day he was so invisible a lot of our guests commented that they didn’t even realise he was taking candid pictures! He got involved and stepped back when needed. He was available for guests to grab throughout and certainly did not rush off. He was never pushy and worked with us in every decision.

One thing to highlight is Rob’s turnaround time was super quick! Only a few weeks and not several months like we were quoted from other photographers which was lovely.

We couldn’t recommend rob highly enough to other couples, especially if they’re getting married at Caswell House. Thank you so much, Rob, for capturing such wonderful pictures of our perfect day” – Catherine & Jack, Caswell House – Brize Norton
