Information For Philtography: Natural, Candid, Storytelling Images

Hi, I’m the Phil in Philtography. With over 12 years of experience of shooting weddings, I have honed my skills and developed my own unique style that is natural, candid, and storytelling.

I approach each wedding with a fresh perspective, always striving to capture the essence of the couple and the magic of their day. I understand that every wedding is unique and therefore, I work closely with my couples to ensure that their vision is captured in the most beautiful and meaningful way.

My goal is to create stunning, timeless images that tell the story of the couple's special day and preserve their memories for a lifetime. I believe that a wedding is one of the most important and memorable days of a couple's life, and it is my privilege to be a part of it.

As a storytelling photographer, I move quickly and discreetly around your wedding venues, candidly capturing the smiles, tears and laughter that accompany your wedding day. I avoid interrupting the flow of the day and instead, aim to document every moment in a natural and authentic way. I believe that a beautiful photo tells its own story, and I am committed to capturing your special day in the most beautiful and timeless photos.

When I'm not behind the camera, I enjoy spending time with my family, exploring the great outdoors and my passion for electronics. I still try to play football when I can and I am also a big fan of F1, good food and travel.

So, if you're looking for a wedding photographer who will capture the essence of your day with a blend of candid, natural, storytelling photography and breathtakingly beautiful posed portraits then I would love to hear from you to tell you more about my photography style, wedding package options and learn about your plans for your big day.

The photos we got are AMAZING - all of our guests and family were blown away!
Phil was the most amazing photographer in every way! He was super friendly and blended right in with our guests. He really knew what he was doing and gave us lots of direction for the more posed shots, but his real magic was in the candid shots, which were brilliant. The photos we got are AMAZING - all of our guests and family were blown away! There are beautiful shots of every single person, and the essence of the day has been captured perfectly. Phil even managed to brilliantly capture the different groups and relationships of our family and friends, without any guidance from us! We couldn't be more grateful for the amazing photos, which we will treasure for a lifetime!

Phil managed to capture the day perfectly
Me and my husband booked Philtography for our wedding in September, and i cannot praise this guy enough! From the point of booking right up to the actual day Phil was amazing. Very quick with replies,(which is very important to all you bridezillas out there) and extremely friendly. As a nervous bride with low self confidence I hate having my photograph taken, I voiced my concerns to Phil and he gave me excellent advice and helped take away all of my anxiety about the process. On the day, I had the inevitable meltdown and once again Phil was great, he has such a friendly, calming nature that not only me, but all of my bridal party and guests picked up on. Phil managed to capture the day perfectly, from the style and quality of the photographs to getting everyone's unique personalities. Everyone we talk too since the wedding tells me and my husband how beautiful our wedding photographs are, even one of our friends have booked him for their wedding. A wedding is so special and needs to be captured perfectly and Phil did not let us down, you will not be disappointed.

We are absolutely blown away by our amazing photos
What can we say about Philtography! We are absolutely blown away by our amazing photos of our wedding. Phil put us both at ease from the start, was so patient and most of the time we didn’t know he was there! He captured every moment so beautifully! We were worried about not having a video but honestly we didn’t need one, every moment, every smile, every laugh captured. We were really able to relive our day going through them. We are eternally grateful for such amazing memories and we will treasure them for a lifetime. If you’re looking for a photographer with a candid approach and storytelling, Phil is your man. Our heartfelt thanks and gratitude.

OMG how did he manage to perfectly capture that smile shots
Phil was a star from start to finish. And such good value for money! His wedding package are perfectly tailored for every couple needs, and he always goes the extra mile, and with a smile! Phil was with us from start of the day to late in the evening, capturing every single moment. We have a mixture of traditional photo shots, and some candid, natural, and "OMG how did he manage to perfectly capture that smile" shots. He also responded positively to every picture request, to our guests' delight. Even his photo albums are a joy to read. "Candid, natural and storytelling photography" is indeed an accurate description.

We couldn't recommend him enough
Phil photographed our wedding in 2017 as well as our both boys christenings in 2020 and then 2022. On all of these occasions he has been just wonderful at capturing the true spirit of the day. We couldn't recommend him enough. A truly talented photographer.

Thank you Phil
So glad we asked Phil to do our Vow Renewal photos. He is very professional, as well as calm and unobtrusive, and nothing is too much trouble. His photos are beautiful, with a mixture of traditional group shots and plenty of candid, natural pictures which captured the day from so many different perspectives. It is an absolute joy to be able to relive our celebrations through his gorgeous photos. Thank you Phil.

We're SO glad we went with Phil
Phil was recommended to me by a friend for our wedding photos and we're SO glad we went with him. He's kind, friendly and hardworking and made us feel relaxed and at ease having our photos taken (and we are not naturals in front of the camera) All our guests loved him too and the quality of the photos and videos are superb! Our package included an engagement shoot (including our kids), all day at our wedding, video footage of key moments (ceremony, first dance and speeches) and a beautiful photo book. It was excellent value for money and I will be recommending Phil to everyone I know who has a special event coming up.
