Hi I'm Phil your new friend with the camera, a multi award winning Manchester Wedding Photographer taking a documentary approach to wedding photography.
My award-winning, storytelling wedding photography in Manchester focuses on organic, beautiful, breath-taking images that document your day as it happens from start to finish. I’ll blend in and make you feel at ease during morning preparations, be in the right place at the right time to capture the emotion of your ceremony and then wrangle the crowds for stress-free group photos. When the night gets wild, that’s where the party really comes alive – I’ll be right at the centre of the action making sure all those happy faces, questionable dance moves and unexpected raving relatives are photographed in incredible, artistic style.
Creating timeless wedding images for you and your partner is something I truly cherish whether that be in Manchester or beyond. Knowing you'll be able to relive those moments is something I take so much pride in and something I've worked so hard to do.
I absolutely love Manchester and all it has to offer, a playground for wedding images to be created with such unique urban canvas, this is what makes photographing weddings around Manchester so much fun. From the Northern Quarter to Castlefield Manchester offers endless potential photographic opportunities that like you are unique.
