Last update: July 2025

Hi, I’m David Coleman, the photographer behind PhilipSedley, which I started back in 2021 with one goal in mind: to give couples amazing wedding photos without the stress or the sky-high prices.

I know how important your wedding day is—and how quickly the costs can add up. That’s why I focus on offering a service that’s not only professional and personal, but also great value. From planning sessions and timeline advice to capturing all the big moments (and the little ones you might miss), I’m here to make sure you get stunning, meaningful photos without breaking the bank. Check out my consistent 5 star reviews.

With PhilipSedley, you’ll get quality, care, and a photographer who genuinely wants you to have the best experience, capturing the best memories—without the inflated price tag.

My prices range from £290 for a simple ceremony with groups shots. £690 for half a day, usually starting with the ceremony right the way through to the evening, or £990 for a full day, starting early to capture the fun of the bridal party getting ready, right the way through the ceremony and into the night. All packages recieve an online album to share with friends and family, along with an ornate boxed USB with all your memories kept for posterity.

Most couples tend to go for the half day package, but I'm always flexible to provide you with the photography you'll want, at a price that you'll like.

Let's have a chat :)

Services Offered

Although Philip Sedley Photography is based in Kent, I also work with soon-to-be newlyweds in London, Surrey, Sussex, and Essex. All my wedding couples recieve a personalised USB stick, and an online gallery where you can view your favourite pictures and share with friends and family. I never forget the formalities and my traditional wedding shots will always stand the test of time.

Wedding Photos!

David was fantastic from start to finish. We only wanted to capture a few hours and David was more than happy to do this for us. We met up, went through what we wanted and the results were amazing. We felt at ease. David was a laugh and was funny that I married a David! Would highly recommend!

Excellent, professional, approachable and all round lovely photographer!

We had our wedding on April 5th and Dave was absolutely brilliant! We are so pleased with our photos and the time, art and skill dedicated to capturing our wedding day.

He was attentive and listened to our requests, capturing some beautiful, natural and candid shots of us and our guests. He was so on board with our wedding plans, he organised his own travel commitments to meet our unique plans, to travel by train from the registry to the event, ensuring to capture every detail of our special day.

Many of our guests have also since complimented him on his professionalism and friendliness - many asking if he was a family friend, as he was so down to earth and approachable across the day. By the end of the day, he really did feel like family. ❤️

Furthermore, what more can a couple ask for - our photos were ready to view before we had even returned from Honeymoon!

Overall, a top guy, friendly, approachable, amenable and skilled photographer. I couldn't recommend him enough!

Incredibly talented photographer

I cannot recommend Phillip Sedley highly enough! His professionalism, quality of service, and communication were outstanding throughout our wedding. He arrived early, seamlessly blended into the background, and captured every precious moment with ease. The final photos are breathtaking—each shot tells a story with vibrant colors and stunning compositions. Guests raved about the images! If you’re looking for a talented photographer who truly cares, Phillip Sedley is the perfect choice. Thank you for preserving our memories!

Dave was absolutely brilliant!!!!

I can’t rave about how good Dave was enough. We checked in at least 3 times before the wedding to
Go over logistics. We gave him free rein, we said you’re the professional, this is your time to shine. And he did!
I would recommend Dave over and over. The quality of his work, he was efficient, supportive and made us feel at ease.
Dave even stayed later than initially planned because he was chatting to our guests and enjoying a well deserved pint in the sun after all of his running around for the last 5 hours.
Absolute legend, his shots he got were amazing! Can’t wait to see the full album. Thanks again Dave!
