Wow, where to even start?! Phil was just amazing! Such a lovely guy, all of our guests said he was a delight, and he clearly loves what he does - it really shows in his work. Our photos are just incredible, we are so in love with them - I've really struggled to pick just a few for this review! Our personalities really seem to shine through and show how fun the day was as well! We're so glad we chose him as our photographer.

Phil is just brilliant! A pleasure to work with and makes you feel at ease. His knowledge of the venues he covers is brilliant. We wanted natural pictures which really captured the essence of the day - and our pics are just brilliant, capturing so many moments we would have otherwise missed! We would recommend Phil to anyone planning a wedding!

Phil! Where do I Start? From initial consultation to run up to the wedding, you made sure James and I where comfortable and we knew what was expected from us and yourself during our wedding. The Wedding itself was beautiful and your images and sneek peeks where incredible. They say a picture is a 1000 words and your images are just that. To anyone who thinks that photography is expensive or seconding guessing a photographer, I urge you to chat to Phil and change your mind! Memories that will last forever. Thankyou Phil! 100% recommend!

Mr Philip James….is a master! Not only is he ridiculously talented as a wedding photographer but he also brings a vibe to your day which you absolutely need to have! Phil has an amazing balance of professionalism, fun and romance! Whilst he is brilliant at capturing the poses we all want at our wedding, his ability to capture the unique moments is second to none! We were up for some unique and fun shots and Phil was more than excited to match our energy and make them happen! He got to know us as individuals before our wedding which was really special. Phil was a huge support throughout our day, making sure we got the shots we wanted whilst also making sure we had the time to spend talking and mingling with our guests (which he cleverly captured without us even knowing!). If you are looking for a top end photographer, Phil is your man.

It’s been a year this month since our wedding and we still look at our photos and think how incredible they are!From the first phone call we knew Phil was the perfect photographer for us as he made us feel at ease throughout. We created a Pinterest board and he made sure he got all the shots we wanted.As an April wedding I was worried about the rain, but again he put us at ease and got the most incredible photos, with a lot of excitement on his behalf from getting rain photos! His attention to detail was outstanding throughout!He worked well with our videographer and venue and he basically ran the day! Our friends and family commented on how lovely he was, constantly smiling and great professionalism.He also is amazing with children and got some gorgeous photos of us and our little boyWe would highly recommend him to anyone! Thank you for everything! 🙂

We find it hard to find the right words to describe how amazing Phil was on our wedding day. Leading up to the wedding, we were both nervous about having our photos taken. However, after ten minutes of Phil arriving during morning preparations, I felt at ease. He just felt like one of the guests! This feeling continued all day. Our guests also commented on how great he was, and this was before we’d seen any of the pictures- which are absolutely perfect! His enthusiasm was infectious and he always seemed to be in the right place at the right time, capturing every special moment.Thank you, Phil. You have given us memories to look back on for years to come.Emma and Jack

We can’t recommend Phil enough! Our pictures are absolutely incredible and he captured every aspect of our day, he made us feel as easy with our couples portraits and blended in with our guests to capture some amazing memories for us. We can’t thank Phil enough for making our day so perfect and giving us the most amazing pictures to remember our day. Thanks so much Sarah and Matthew

We found Phil on Instagram and instantly fell in love with his photography! We had an initial call and felt at ease knowing that Phil is super passionate about his work and is forever chasing sunsets, which leads to the most incredible photos! Phil was attentive throughout the planning stage, discussing everything from group photos to suppliers.I've always hated being the centre of attention and having my photo taken, so we decided to have an engagement shoot a few months before the wedding. The photos were beautiful and the experience made me feel so much more confident for the wedding!On the day, nothing was too much trouble. Phil ensured that we had the best day and captured the most amazing photos. Everyone commented on how professional and friendly he is, just a genuinely lovely person!We received a sneak peak the week after the wedding and the full album just after. The photos were better than we could have ever dreamed of. Phil's attention to detail is outstanding, and he captured all the special moments. It was so difficult choosing just 70 photos for our album! We received the album this weekend and were blown away by the quality!Thank you so much, Phil!!!! We couldn't recommend you enough.Mary and Pav ❤️

If you have stumbled across Phil for you wedding photography and by some chance your date is still available... do not hesitate to book him! In 11 years with my partner (now husband!) We've only ever had a handful of photos together - we have more stunning photo's from our wedding day together than in our entire relationship - we wish we could go back and do the day again, but the memories frm these photo's will last a lifetime - all thanks to Phil! Stunning photo's and he really understood us as a couple and what we wanted from our day and our photo's. Over-delivered on every level, a HUGE thank you! Mr & Mrs Gosling ❤️

It's nearly been 1 whole year since our wedding! There were so many amazing moments throughout the day that we can look back on, and none of them would've been possible without Phil!He was amazing from start to finish, even waiting until the sun set to get those incredible shots. My friends and family thought he was lovely, both myself and Matt felt at ease the whole day. We are both in love with our wedding album that we will cherish forever.We would highly recommend Phil 100% and would like to thank him so much for capturing our wedding July 2022.

Phil was absolutely amazing at our wedding on the 20th April 2023 at Delamere Manor. He had not photographed at this venue before our wedding so turned up an hour earlier than expected to have a scout of the grounds and find the best place to take pictures. This clearly had an affect as the pictures taken are absolutely amazing and we are so happy with the results! Phil was so friendly and chatty from the very start which eased any neveres we both had about being photographed. We have had so many guests comment on how great Phil was not just capturing every single moment throughout our day but how he interacted with guests as a person. We really couldn’t have wished for a better person to photograph our wedding, thank you so much for all your efforts Phil I don’t think 5 stars will do you justice! We can’t wait to see the rest of the pictures.

Phil was absolutely fantastic! He blended in seamlessly when needed and gave reassurance and direction were needed too!We were completely blown away when we saw our photos and could not believe the attention to detail. Honestly, Phil captured all of the little details, some of which we didn't even notice on the day!We would highly recommend Phil to anyone looking for someone to capture their big day.

We can’t thank Phil enough for photographing our wedding and couldn’t recommend him more! As a couple who aren’t very comfortable with having pictures taken, I am shocked at the sheer number of amazing pictures. We are always receiving comments about the quality and how he managed to capture so many shots when people don’t remember him being there/in the way! On top of all of this genuinely such a nice guy and so easy to work with!

For us choosing a photographer for our wedding day was one of the most difficult tasks however we literally struck gold with Phil! He was amazing from start to finish, the booking process was easy, the call before the wedding was excellent as he suggested some photo opportunities I had never considered and on the day he was amazing from start to finish. He was very calm, friendly and professional all day, he made us feel very at ease and worked well with all our guests. I also liked the fact that he was conscious we should enjoy our wedding so gave us a lot of time to spend socialising instead of taking photos whilst still managing to take all the shots we wanted, and didn’t know we wanted! We would 100% recommend Phil to anyone looking for a photographer and an all round nice guy at your wedding!

Phil photographed our wedding in July 2022, we first met Phil at a wedding fayre at hoar cross hall back in 2019 and as soon as I saw his work I knew he was the one for us and we Definately made the right decision, Phil made us feel at ease and we just loved working with him on our special day, we then got 10 sneak preview images within 24 hours of our special day which was amazing! When the final photos arrived we looked over them so many times we just love them. Phil is amazing and so passionate about what he does we would recommend him to anyone!

Phil photographed our wedding at Foxtail Barns back in November. We couldn’t recommend him enough. Throughout the planning stage he was so responsive & nothing was too much trouble. On the day, he was so thorough, we are so happy with all of our photographs, we loved our first look photos and were amazed at how quickly we got all of our photos back. Every moment was captured and we struggled to pick our favourites, as they are all amazing. We can’t thank Phil enough that we get to look back and re-live our day whenever we want. If you book with Phil you will not be disappointed.

Phil is amazing! We got married over Christmas 2022 and Phil absolutely brought our wedding day to life.Phil’s photos speak for themselves, he’s incredibly talented in his craft, but a big part of booking a photographer is finding someone you can spend your wedding day with and Phil was the most personable, humorous and thoughtful person - we had such a laugh and knew Phil had the day under control from the moment he arrived.If you’re on the hunt for a photographer and are lucky enough to secure Phil, you won’t just have some amazing memories to look back on but you’ll also have the best time making them.

Phil was our incredible photographer. He kindly took our date under his wing on such short notice to support us. His communication was excellent from the day we booked and throughout the day itself. We just followed his direction and the photos he captured are magical.Not only that, his work is absolutely amazing and something well and truly worth every penny.Highly, highly recommended!

We can’t thank Phil enough for our beautiful photographs! They encapsulated our amazing day and we felt like we were reliving it all again watching the slideshow.Phil was patient after meeting back in 2019 and covid pushing us back nothing was ever a problem and communication always kept. He is such a friendly guy and makes you feel at ease as we definitely aren’t photogenic or confident infront of the camera!Now we just have the wonderful but tricky job of picking photos for an album.

Phil photographed our wedding and we definitely booked the right photographer. He captured everything we wanted and more. I can't stop looking at our photos, he captured all of the emotion which takes me straight back to the day, I will cherish them forever. Phil is so professional and discreet and you just forget he's there, I felt so comfortable around him and so did all of our guests and they all commented on how friendly and professional he was. We highly recommend Phil and are just so grateful that he was able to photograph our wedding, thank you so much 😊

We can’t thank Phil enough for our beautiful wedding photos. We absolutely love them and can’t stop looking through them! He captured everything we hoped for and more and we’re just so pleased we have these photos to look back over forever.From our very first contact with him he was super helpful, friendly and professional. Phil was so understanding about personal circumstances and possibly needing to change dates and I’m so grateful for his kind card caring approach. He really is just a genuinely nice person and this made us feel so at ease on the day.Being a wonderful photographer is one thing but I think his personality and genuine kindness really helped us to feel at ease and capture the most wonderful photos.We honestly couldn’t recommend him enough!!!Thanks so much Phil,Love from the Young’sXx

I have had the pleasure of knowing and working with Phil for a few years, once we had set our wedding date & venue I had to make sure we could secure his services for the big day.This guy takes photography to an entire new level, his not just you average picture snapper, the attention to detail is the best I have seen but it doesn't just stop there..... Phil has a great eye for creative art forms.On top of his incredible proffesional work he is a genuinely lovely person, makes you feel at ease with everything, listens to your ideas and went out of his way during a busy schedule to include an engagement shoot.Photos and memories are a really important part of the day as it literally flies by, if you want the best part of the day captured then Phil is a MUST for your wedding as has to be one of the best in the to ever do it.Phil was also a great help when it came to COVID and having to reschedule our wedding, I know that this must have been a nightmare with this happening all over the Uk.Can't Wait To See The Final PicturesTim & Daizee ♥️
