Phil Brown Photography

I love how looking back on a photograph can bring back so many memories and emotions. We all take photos, and we carry them around with us, usually on our phones, and we look back at them whenever we want. I believe without photographs, memories would eventually fade and moments would be forgotten. ​ My couples mostly comment on how comfortable they are around me and how I felt like a guest on their wedding day. This gives me the opportunity to capture the day as naturally as possible. To then be able to give you images you can look back on to keep those memories alive, is the reason I love what I do. In the run up to the wedding I always try to meet with my couples to get to know each other, and discuss those important wedding plans. If distance or calendars do not make this possible, I always organise a zoom call to sit down and discuss things in detail, so I'm fully briefed before the big day. As well as this, I ask for a questionnaire to be filled out with all the details I need to help me capture your day perfectly! ​ On the big day, I plan to arrive around around 3 hours before the ceremony, to capture bridal preparations. My whole approach is natural and relaxed and I'll be getting involved with your family and guests throughout the day. This gives me the opportunity to capture everything as it happens and means your gallery will show a natural story of your wedding day. I usually take couples away for a few short intervals to capture portraits, limiting time away from guest, however we can spend as short, or long as you want. Don't worry if you are as awkward as I am in front of the camera too, I'll make sure we're laughing the whole way through! Ill be with you from the start of the day, until around 30 minutes after your first dance, as this is usually when the dance floor is busiest, but don't worry, if some serious shapes are being thrown, I'll hang around a little longer to capture those incriminating dance moves!
