Tanya Mitchell Photography in short
Tanya Mitchell Photography is a Dawley home-studio photographer covering weddings alongside newborn, maternity and family portraits. Tanya states eight years behind the camera, with phone and email contact published. In our verdict, it suits couples wanting wedding and family photography from one local pair of hands. Portrait, newborn and maternity work fill the diary between weddings, which suits growing families.
Reviews of Tanya Mitchell Photography are the round's outlier on score: below five stars on Google but from one of the largest review bases in the round. The site sets out its Dawley base and Shropshire coverage plainly. The gaps sit in paperwork: no readable prices, no insurance details and no professional membership appear on the pages checked. That mix is the appeal; the unreadable prices are the drawback.
Tanya works from a home studio in Dawley, Telford, covering weddings alongside newborn, maternity, portrait and cake-smash work. Phone and email are published with contact routes on the site, and eight years behind the camera stand on the about page. The Dawley base puts central Telford venues a short drive away.
The review base is four point seven out of five from thirty-four reviews, the round's outlier on score with a large mixed base. That mix reads like a busy local studio with broad appeal and the odd unhappy customer. No readable prices sit beside the rating, so the quote does the work the page does not.

Questions about Tanya Mitchell Photography
Is Tanya Mitchell Photography any good?
A qualified yes for local cover: it ranks ninth of ten, with a large mixed review base at 4.7 out of 5 on Google. Eight years and direct contact are documented, but no readable prices exist. Ask for a fixed written quote before going further. The mixed base means more voices than most rivals, with a lower average.
Is Tanya Mitchell Photography registered with a photography body?

Eight years of experience is stated on the site instead. Ask for any claimed grade in writing and check the directory entry yourself.
What does Tanya Mitchell Photography charge?
The fees page carries image-only collections with no confirmed readable figures, so nothing can be quoted from the record. Send your hours and venue, and ask for a fixed written figure with the delivery terms included for reference before you decide. Screenshot the priced reply, since the page itself shows no figures.

Phone or email direct with your hours, venue and date, since the fees page shows image-only collections with no readable figures.
