Philtography Full Description
Hi there, let me introduce myself. I'm the Phil in Philtography :-) and I've been capturing weddings for over 12 years and have loved every second of it! My family and I live on the edge of the beautiful Cotswolds where we are blessed with so many incredible wedding venues. Whilst the majority of my weddings are here in the South West, I am also very happy to travel both nationally and internationally to capture your big day. I offer a wide range of photography and videography options to cater for all manner of weddings. Plus, all of my packages are fully customisable to allow you to tailor-make them to the exact coverage and feature set that you are looking for. Options include: Variable Hour Coverage, Digital Download Albums, Personalised USB Stick & Presentation Pack, Printed Wedding Albums, Photo Montage Video, Filming of your Ceremony, Speeches & First Dance and Romantic Engagement Shoot in a Picturesque Location. I also work closely with several videographers so please speak to me about my Dual Photo & Film Packages. To give you a little insight into my photography style, I’m a friendly, storytelling wedding photographer. I move quickly and quietly around your wedding venues capturing the smiles, tears and laughter that accompany your wedding day. I’m certainly not the kind of photographer that tries to take over your whole day and gets everyone doing cliché poses for hours on end. I simply do my utmost to document every moment through natural, candid, storytelling photography, focusing on bringing out your personalities through my images. We of course do all the traditional group shots with family and friends though I always aim to keep this time to a minimum so that your guests don’t get restless and you have more time to enjoy this once in a lifetime day. We then sneak off to capture some beautiful portraits of the two of you in a fun, relaxed style plus where possible an additional sunset shoot too for those amazing golden hour photos.

Simply perfect!
What fantastic service! Phil gave us everything we asked for and more! A truly magical record of our special day. He captured all of our friends and family smiling, laughing and helping to make our day so wonderful and perfect. The taster photos were just the start and we are totally thrilled and delighted with the final array of shots. Thank you x

If you do not go with Phil then you are mad!! Phil is an excellent, natural photographer who knows exactly how to capture those beautiful moments. Phil was born with a camera in his hand. Excellent value for money, we are so pleased with our wedding photographs.

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. 😊

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 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.

He always goes the extra mile, and with a smile!
Absolutely 100% satisfied, 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.

Eternally grateful for such amazing memories
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.

Beautiful shots of every single person
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.

FAQs
Find out a bit more from our FAQs

What is your most memorable wedding?

That would have to go to Tam & Chloe's wedding as they had the most magical sunset at Lyde Court in Herefordshire overlooking the beautiful rolling hills.

Describe your style in 5 adjectives.

Natural, Candid, Storytelling, Reportage, Friendly

What about your business are you most proud of?

I am most proud when I see the reaction my images get from my couples, when they use them for their profile photos and most of all the heart-warming reviews they leave me.

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Wherever possible, always try to choose a photographer because you love their work and you feel comfortable with them rather than solely on price. The photos (and videos) are one of the only 'physical' things you take away from your wedding day. So once all the food is eaten, the drinks are drunk, the flowers have wilted and you've said goodbye to your venue, what remains are they beautiful photos that you will treasure forever and can be passed down through the generations to come. (Also, make sure your photographer shoots exclusively on cameras with dual card slots so your images are always written to two independent memory cards just in case of a card corruption and also they have multiple backup cameras. I have heard a lot of horror stories over the years!)

What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?

At a recent wedding the B&G used photos of them with each of the guests from throughout their lives as the individual name cards on the tables.

Describe your typical process with a couple.

Introduction to my work and style. Zoom call or meeting to get to know each other and discuss their wedding day. Booking form creation and signing. Engagement shoot if selected. Wedding planner form to enquire about timings of the day, group shots and any special details I need to be aware of. Zoom call a week or two before the wedding to go over planner form. Wedding day itself. Sneak peek photos the day after. Beautifully edited images sent to couple within 4-6 weeks. Wedding album and videos to follow is selected. A follow up conversation to check everything has been received and all parties are extatically happy :-)

What is the No. 1 photo that you think every couple should take?

I always feel the candid/natural photos of people laughing and enjoying themselves are the best photos because these are so genuine but for a posed shot that is always lovely I would recommend a form of 'reveal shot' whether that's to a father of the bride or mother of the groom or simply to the rest of the bridal/grooms party.

What is the most original photo you’ve been asked to take at a wedding?

Whilst not strictly at a wedding, for a couple's engagement shoot they wanted me to go rock climbing with them. We got some great photos there.

What do you recommend for a rainy day wedding?

In one word, flexibility! So firstly, it rarely rains all day in the UK, there are often 10 minute pockets when we can pop outside to get some beautiful photos with your venue but secondly, embrace the rain. There are loads of cool shots we can do with umbrellas in the rain and also shots inside your venue are beautiful should we not be able to go outside.

Describe how you got into photography.

I have always had a passion for capturing the moment and I feel photos are like windows into the past and only increase in value as we age. I made the conscious decision to go into wedding photography full time back in 2016 as so many people were asking me to shoot their weddings after seeing my images from friends and family weddings I attended simply as a guest and remarking they were often better than the actual main photographer. So why not follow your passion for your career... and I have never looked back.
