About us

Hey, you found us! We’re Phil and Bomi, a Wedding, Engagement, and Portrait Photography duo based in East London.

What is now Brown & Bomi started off as Phil’s personal project, where he wanted to translate his enthusiasm for photography into making lasting memories for couples on their special day. Bomi would assist on shoots, making sure the day was captured from all angles. But due to a big health scare in 2023 Phil paused with wedding photography. Thankfully that has resolved so Brown & Bomi has formed as a rebrand, with us embarking on this new journey together.

Bomi is born and bred East London while Phil made his way around Hampshire & Yorkshire before settling in London 9 years ago. We love street photography, travelling to new places (the fun is in the planning!) and taking our bikes for a spin.

Due to rebuilding the business anew, please have patience whilst we recreate our social media presence. For our portfolio please check out: http://www.brown-bomi.com

Our Style

We mainly shoot a blend of documentary and portrait styles to capture the small details of the day and tell the story. Expect to be wowed by how we capture those stolen glances and cherished laughs from family members. We also won’t forget those sought after ‘mantlepiece’ pictures for friends and family. We’re flexible and our priority is to work with a style that’s your wish - from candid, to classical and editorial. Don’t worry if you’re not used to being behind the camera, we’re here to make the experience as relaxing and carefree for you.

Wedding Photography

Each wedding is different, and flexibility is our main priority. We are available for hourly, half day and full day bookings. With each booking you will receive:

  • Edited photos on a secure password protected online gallery (or USB stick if preferred)

  • Consultations before the wedding and a complementary engagement shoot

For London-based weddings, prices can start from:

  • £400 for a two-hour booking with a single shooter

  • £600-800 for a half day with one or two shooters

  • £1600 for a full day with both of us as shooters.

If you want to discuss your unique special day - please get in touch and we can share our fuller brochure and price list.

Portrait & Engagement Photography

We are also available in hour long bookings for engagement and portrait photography (please state if you have a preference for one of us). Remember that if you book us for your wedding, a complementary engagement shoot is included as standard. We can travel to on location shoots, arrange a studio, and do editorial, or classical styles. As with weddings, your package will include scouting, consultations, edits and aftercare. Travel further afield is also possible, just let us know your needs.

Amazing wedding photographer- absolutely ideal for us!

Phil was absolutely brilliant and the ideal photographer for our wedding. He understood what we wanted and captured that in a friendly, cheerful, unobtrusive and trustworthy manner. We love the photos he captured and these will be happy memories for us to always look back on. We chose Phil because of his friendly, approachable demeanour online and our instinct was right because he was all these things. We found many photographers online off-putting because they were so serious & seemed way too formal, but not Phil. Phil has a sense of humour too and our families commented on the day and later that he was excellent. He communicated with us loads before the wedding and had processes in place to understand what we were looking for. If you're looking for a friendly wedding photographer who will deliver some excellent photos in good spirits, then I really rate Phil. Thank you so much Phil, we are very grateful for your work.

Simply Wonderful

Phil was simply amazing as our wedding photographer. He was very communicative, friendly and flexible. He scheduled a pre-wedding shoot (as we had never been photographed professionally before) to meet up in our local area, take a few snaps and have a chat about expectations for the day. This worked great for us and really prepared us for the day itself. In terms of photos, the service we got was exactly what we asked for and more. Moreover, he was flexible with his end-timings and stayed on for longer at the event ad-hoc to cover more of the reception. He was a delight to have at the wedding and got along great with the other guests! Would heartily recommend to anyone!

Brilliant service, would recommend and would use Phil again

Phil was brilliant in capturing the special moments for me and my partner. Very responsive, Phil was great in putting us at ease and capturing some great shots and the pre-wedding shoot was a fantastic way to build a rapport. I don't intend on getting married again - but if I were to, I wouldn't hesitate in getting Phil to be my photographer.

An amazing photographer!

Phil was the most easygoing and friendly photographer and we’re so glad we found him to take photos of our big day! We found him via Hitched and instantly loved his portfolio of other weddings, they were natural, elegant and really beautiful and we wanted a similar style to what we saw. He made our friends and family feel at ease as well as us! We have a member of our family who doesn’t like their photo taken and she seemed to be up for photos by the end of the ceremony which was a huge surprise to us. He is just amazing and an absolute gem! The photos we received were absolutely outstanding and more beautiful than I imagined. Thankyou SO much Phil for being so wonderful. I would highly recommend him as a photographer!

Excellent service

We couldn't have asked for a better wedding photographer. Phil was polite, punctual, professional, and produced perfect pictures. He worked with us to ensure that we captured the exact moments we wanted throughout our day, and even helped us to pose for couples photos midway through the reception.

He had an impressive turnaround time, sending over an expertly-crafted website that displayed the photos in a beautiful format, ready to share with the guests. We would recommend Phil in a heartbeat to anyone looking to make their day extra special.

Superb service all round

We enquired with a few photographers here and most replied with ridiculous and expensive "package" prices before we'd even said what we were looking for.
Phil responded with the tone of "what would you like" and correspondence was superb up to the big day.
His photo skills are fantastic and he seamlessly called away myself and wife plus others for more personal photos without disrupting the day.
Several guests also commented what a friendly and professional photographer too.
Highly recommended.

Friendly, smooth service with great candid shots of our day

We had limited opportunity to meet/communicate with Phil leading up to our wedding due to ongoing illness, and he still managed to capture the essence of our day through great candid shots. Highly recommend if you're looking for documentary-style photography!

Excellent photographer - highly recommended

Phil photographed our small wedding ceremony in Hackney Town Hall. It was an intimate ceremony with only our parents in attendance.

Phil was great to deal with from start to finish. He listened and was careful to bear in mind our requests. Phil has a really calm, easy manner; ensuring we got all the photos we wanted without anyone feeling rushed or pressured.

Our photos were delivered within about 2 weeks and we are really pleased with the results. We would definitely recommend Phil to anyone looking for a wedding or engagement photographer.
