Phil is amazing!

Phil is AMAZING! He is so much more than a photographer and we honestly don’t know what we would have done without him on the day!

Firstly, we did a stunning engagement shoot with Phil, at our venue, which was just such a great idea. It helped us relax behind the camera, get to know Phil (he’s truly just a great guy) and feel more at ease over couple poses and shots. Would 100% recommend this to anyone! Plus, the pictures are beyond what we could have ever asked for!! They are stunning & were perfect for our wedding website to surprise all of our guests. It put that bit of excitement into sharing these lovely couple shots for what ended up feeling like another occasion for the wedding day. It was great.

Now on the day…. I mean wow. Phil is an all round helping hand, he acted more of a coordinator than our venue ones, and we are beyond grateful for the fun chat to ease nerves, tips, tricks, diffusing challenging situations (the groom almost saw me ahead of the ceremony!!🤦🏼‍♀️) and then the photography is truly unmatched. Phil is so skilled, so talented, he knows what works, what doesn’t. You’re truly in the best hands. There’s a reason we booked Phil, and he had never been to our venue before but his portfolio is stunning and we now get to be a part of that and have the most beautiful photos to remember our special day by.

We don’t know what we would have done without Phil. He was our saving grace, in directing us, keeping us on track, keeping the stress levels down, making sure we got all the pics we wanted!! Honestly can’t thank him enough, he is AMAZING!! 🙏🏼😁😊

Our sneak peak is beautiful, our family is so impressed & we can’t wait to see the full gallery!

10000% recommended, you’re in the best hands!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
