based in London and Surrey and covering the uk and europe
I have always been an artist and a creative; ballet, art school, theatre, linguistics and an early career in fashion was just the start and the important pieces that make me who I am today as an individual and as a photographer.
Photography came a little later on; I was always 'the' person with a camera taking photos. I have every photo from my twenties printed and presented in albums in the vintage bookcase in my living room. These photographs of the past are so special to me, and this is how my love for 'making memories' began.
The moment I picked up a DSLR, that was it. I (metaphorically) knew exactly what I was meant to do.
background
Weddings are where my love of photography truly began and is my signature offering. I see weddings as such a unique and special opportunity for me to beautifully and authentically bring my love of photography and happy moments together.
My balance of natural documentary, editorial and fine art photography allows you to enjoy your day exactly how you want to while creating beautiful timeless images that will bring the memory of your wedding to life, year after year.
My bespoke photography packages include timeline planning, pre weddings sessions, bespoke photo viewings and luxury deliverables, as well as the options for videography, analogue film photography, additional event coverage, photographers, and albums.

Weddings & Elopements
- Emma westacott - wedding planner
"She brought a wonderful energy to the wedding day and an infectious enthusiasm. She adapted to the challenges of the weather with a (very much appreciated) smile on her face and positive attitude. She captured the day wonderfully for our clients and it was lovely working alongside her."
More kind words
A pre wedding session is included in all Collections for my wedding couples but there are times when newly engaged couples travel to London and want some beautiful portraits to celebrate!
I have been lucky enough to photograph couples from all over the globe, including America and Canada who were celebrating their engagements or special anniversaries.
Engagements &
Pre-Wedding
Family & Newborn
Wedding photography naturally lead me into photographing families, as many of my past couples come back to me when they are expecting and once they've had children.
Photographs of your bump and your children will become some of your most precious heirlooms. Time moves so fast with kids and you will wish that they would just stop growing! I love capturing families so you can always look back on those times fondly.
I have two offerings; full sessions for a longer, relaxed shoot allowing time for changes or multi locations and my popular mini shoots for a short and sweet annual update.

Sarah & David
Having used Philippa for our wedding, it was only right that we asked her to do our first family photoshoot. Philippa was brilliant on the day, going with the flow, in a super calm manner that meant it didn’t matter whether our baby was awake, sleeping, crying or feeding. Her incredible eye means that she can direct you and capture the most priceless moments

Birthdays & Celebrations
As well as weddings, I love to document all celebrations in life. From lavish milestone birthday parties, to intimate dinner parties, I cover any type of event in my signature style; beautifully detailed and stylish candid photography.
I have photographed many events including proposals, children’s birthdays, baby showers, Christenings, retirement parties, and adult celebrations in private homes, venues and luxury hotels.
I cover the whole of the UK and Europe for
any special celebration.

Amos & Emily
She was so kind, patient and open with us when handling some of the more sensitive parts of the day: from fine-tuning the smallest details to filling us with confidence and reassurance with some of the more daring photo opportunities (taking photos on Tower Bridge in front of tourists!)

Right from the very beginning, Philippa made us feel excited and like we were in very safe hands. She remains in constant communication throughout the planning purpose and is unbelievably organised. Including a test shoot is such a great idea (even if you have a reluctant groom, as I did!) because it made for beautifully natural pictures on the day.

Louise & Ross
Nicola & Matt
She has become a friend, I was able to ask for her advice many times throughout the planning process of the wedding and she was wonderful in helping to keep me calm on the big day. She even gave me some rescue remedy just before the ceremony as I suddenly became so nervous whilst getting into my dress!

Gemma & Will
Philippa is the perfect wedding photographer - she managed to capture everything in such a natural way. The images are better than we could have ever imagined! It was such a pleasure to have her there on the day and she just blended in like a guest.
