Absolutely Amazing

We came across Phil online. We saw the work he did and were both impressed. We couldn't wish for a better photographer. He made Jeannine and I felt at ease. He was so clear and precise what he wanted us to do. He was brilliant with all our guests. I had guests coming up to me saying how lovely the pictures are. I would recommend him to anyone. Thank you Phil for being apart of our special day.

Outstanding picture, highly recommended!

We absolutely made the right decision in choosing Phil to be our wedding photographer and couldn’t be anymore happier and grateful. We initially came across his profile on a wedding website and then looked at his work on Instagram. We fell in love with his candid and natural shots which was what we wanted as well, so we booked him for the whole day including video and drone footage. The booking process was easy and straightforward and included a one to one meeting discussing the day, our wishes and ideas. On the day, Phil arrived early and started taking pictures of the venue right away (Clearwell Castle) and explored great spots for photos. He has worked at that venue before which was a great bonus as he knew the castle and the surroundings very well. He even knew how to get the attention of the donkeys that live close by. Throughout the day Phil made us feel at ease and confident which made the photo taking so much easier for us both. Even our guests told us what a great photographer we found and everyone commented on how friendly and professional he was. Phil stayed quite late and was able to take pictures of all our planned activities. A few days after the wedding we received a preview of 10 pictures through Instagram/ Facebook which were absolutely fantastic and put us at ease before going on honeymoon. We have now received all of our pictures in colour and black/white in high resolution and social media size. We also received a link which allowed us to share the pictures easily with family and friends. I have to say the pictures are amazing. We are over the moon. All I wanted was a few good pictures but now we have soooo many that it is really hard to decide which ones to put in our photo album and which to hang on our wall. I highly recommend Philtography to anyone who wants to capture their wedding or other events by a professional.
Thank you so much Phil for capturing our wedding day. You really made us feel special. Can’t wait to see the video footage next.
Highly recommended Philtography to everyone.

The best wedding Photographer we could have ever wished for!

Phil photographed our wedding in July 2022, and even to this day, we still talk about how amazing he was. On the day, he did absolutely everything he could to make sure we got the most perfect photographs. He made everyone feel so comfortable, was friendly, chatty and felt like we had known him for years. We had family and friends comment on how professional and lovely Phil was, and countless people asking if he was a family friend because of how welcoming and warm he was. From capturing the little details, to riding in a golf buggy to get the most amazing photos, he did it all. I would recommend Phil to anyone and everyone, because he has given us so many beautiful photos to help us relive our day, over and over again. Thank you Phil!

Amazing photographer

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Phil as our photographer, and we couldn’t have been more impressed by his professionalism and attention to detail. From the outset, he set himself apart by scheduling multiple pre-event chats to fully understand our vision and walk us through the entire process. This level of dedication made us feel incredibly confident going into the event, knowing that Phil was aligned with our expectations.

One standout feature was his effort to secure a special license to fly a drone, which added a stunning aerial perspective to our photos. This level of commitment showed just how far Phil was willing to go to capture unique, memorable shots that made our day even more special.

Phil’s punctuality was another thing we appreciated—he arrived right on time, ready to work. Throughout the event, he managed to seamlessly blend in with our guests, making everyone feel comfortable while capturing those candid, natural moments we were hoping for. His ability to work so smoothly with our videographer was also commendable—they worked as a team without any disruption, ensuring every important moment was captured from all angles.

The quality of the photos themselves was extraordinary. Phil managed to get all the key moments, and when it came to post-production, he was meticulous. He listened to our specific requests for colour tones and hues, editing the images to our exact preferences. The final product was even better than we could have imagined.

On top of all this, Phil was an absolute joy to work with—friendly, polite, and always approachable. His positive energy made the experience enjoyable from start to finish. We wholeheartedly recommend Phil to anyone looking for a talented, professional, and genuinely lovely photographer

Captured everything we wished for & more!

We had our magical day on 27/07/24 in Gloucester!
Through social media we found Phil’s account and was able to see all his incredible work.
We are both over the moon with both our photos & video’s. Phil captured everything we envisioned and beyond. Looking through our pictures we have such candid photos & more poses too which is just perfect for us. He spent the whole day from when I was getting ready all the way into the evening with us and captured every single laugh and cry.
I honestly couldn’t have picked someone else for our perfect day. The photos taken by Phil are ones I’ll cherish for a lifetime & for my children to look back on in the future to.
There was so much ‘keeping in touch’ and communication on the upcoming weeks to our wedding to ensure we were all on the same page with how the day will go.
Thankyou so much Phil!

Exceptional Wedding Photography

We had the pleasure of engaging Phil to capture the essence of our wedding day at the picturesque St Audries Park in Taunton, Somerset. From our initial consultation to the final delivery of the photographs, Phil demonstrated a level of professionalism and expertise that was truly impressive.
Phil's photographic style is characterised by a candid, natural approach that perfectly encapsulates the joy and emotion of the occasion. His ability to blend into the background and capture the most intimate and spontaneous moments without ever being intrusive was a hallmark of his work. The resultant photographs are not only visually stunning but also deeply personal and meaningful, providing a lasting testament to the happiness and love that we shared on our special day.
The Victorian Orangery at St Audries Park provided a breathtaking backdrop for our ceremony, and Phil's photographs beautifully captured the elegance and grandeur of this historic venue. His attention to detail and ability to work with the light and surroundings resulted in photographs that were not only beautiful but also deeply evocative of the occasion.
Throughout the planning process, Phil was always available to offer guidance and advice, ensuring that the photography aspect of our wedding was seamless and stress-free. His passion for photography is evident in every shot, and his commitment to delivering the highest quality images is unparalleled.
The final photographs exceeded our expectations in every way, providing a lasting and beautiful record of our wedding day. We have received numerous compliments from our friends and family, all of whom have been impressed by the quality and beauty of our memories.
In conclusion, we would have no hesitation in recommending Phil to any couple seeking a photographer who can truly capture the essence of their wedding day. His exceptional talent, professionalism, and dedication make him the perfect choice for any occasion. 5/5 stars
