EXPERIENCE
A Custom Process
and relaxed vision
My team and I am there to unobtrusively capture those unforgettable moments as they naturally happen whilst stylishly focussing on those exquisite and unique details.
My editorial yet relaxed style of shooting produces a beautiful fine art and authentic collection of wedding photographs that will become your most treasured heirlooms. I have a decade of experience and my couples feel comforted by the fact that they are working with a professional who also specialises in luxury client service.
We believe that or role is not to simply turn up on the day, take gorgeous photos and edit them. Couples getting married should be able to enjoy their planning process where timely communication, care and dedication is the bare minimum service level received. We strive to offer excellence in the experience we provide.
a process as stunning as the final photos

Our direction is gentle, relaxed and fun, using lots of natural movement. The aim is to capture you both at your best and who you are as a couple, rather than using staged poses that don't feel like 'you'.

You were the perfect photographer. Everything felt so natural and we still got to have so much time with family and friends. The photos are a work of art!

After we photograph your wedding day, you will receive a few couple portraits within 24 hours and a full preview within 48-72 hours. The rest of your photographs are ready up to 6 weeks after your wedding day and you will be invited to Philippa's home for a complimentary photo viewing to receive your luxury USB.

Bespoke photography collections are quoted based on our clients needs, vision and requirements. As a starting point, you can expect coverage to begin at £950 for ceremonies, half day from £2295 and all day from £3295.
Our photography services are custom for each wedding client and are built on your needs so if you are on a budget, we can work together to find a happy medium.
Yes, I love black and white! It is quite subjective so before editing begins we will have discussed if you'd like a selection of black and white images included in your gallery.
This is something we will discuss during our consultation and build you a proposal to reflect this important NDA request.

Yes, myself and my team all have our own indemnity and public liability insurances.
We shoot a mixture of digital and film, using Canon, Sony and Fuji. We use mostly prime lenses and have some zoom as well as back up cameras, countless memory card and batteries.
We have never, to date, let a couple down or had to cancel coverage due to poor health/emergency. In the unlikely event that I am unable to attend your wedding, please be assured that I have a strong and large network and every effort will be made to supply you with a photographer of equivalent style and ability.
In these very unlikely circumstances, we will always help to work alongside you and your planner to secure a new date.

Do you work alone or with a second photographer?
Do you take group shots?
No. 14
Can I make special requests or 'shot lists'?
No. 15
Depending on your needs and vision for your wedding you will either be assigned one photographer, two or more! Having a second shooter is recommended if you'd like morning coverage with the groom, and/or weddings with 100+ guests or where the group shot list is particularly long. My second photographers will either be one of my associates or will be booked from my trusted list of second photographers that I always work with.
Yes of course, I view these as an important historical document and something generations of your family will look back at and enjoy. I assist in planning your list of photos and help you take into consideration the time of year and light restrictions, as well as allowing up to 5 minutes (sometimes longer) to set up and take each shot. A good number is around 5 combinations, and no more than 10.
Ultimately you will have chosen me because you love and trust what I do, but I do recommend bringing to my attention any special people, planned moments or unique details that I might not know to anticipate.
I take a very detail focussed approach which ensures that you'll end up with more photos than you could ever need.

What is the latest time you will stay to on a wedding day?
When will we get our photos and how many will we receive?
No. 17
What happens if our day is running behind schedule and we want you to stay longer?
No. 18
Every wedding day is different and so we work with our couples to build coverage around their wants and needs for their wedding day. Typically, couple's are happy for coverage to end around 30 minutes after first dance but some couples want to extend their coverage into the evening.
Weddings sneak peeks and previews by or before 72 hours after the event and all photos in 6 weeks. Depending on length of coverage, number of guests, second photographers, you can expect anything from 250-1400 high resolution files. More if you have additional events.
In the unlikely event that there are delays and your plans are running later than planned, we won't pack up and leave without giving you the option to decide if you'd like to extend your coverage. The extra time will be invoiced to you the day after the wedding.

Do you retouch the images?
Do you offer prints or albums?
No. 20
Do you give raw images?
No. 21
As a natural photographer, I want your images to look like you, so light retouching is included if necessary which may include blemish removal, slight under. eye touch up, teeth whitening and cropping. Any adjustments made are minimal as my preference is to delivery natural clean representation of you.
I do also offer outsourced professional retouching for more extensive requests which are quoted on an individual basis and would require your approval before proceeding with any additional work.
Yes! In a digital age, printed photographs are just so special and I offer beautiful printed products from including albums, wall art and prints. You can order many beautiful products through your personalised store in your online gallery. Wedding albums are designed in house..

The simple answer to this is no, and this is because raw files are unfinished photos that do not reflect the final product and work. It would be like Picasso handing over a line drawing of a painting... 'RAW' is also a format that most people don’t have the software to support so you wouldn't be able to use or. view them anyway.
