Fantastic weather, great company and a wonderful bride and groom….soaked with love and fantastic moments…a day of almost perfection for this beautiful young bride and her handsome groom. I will blog their day in full later, but for now enjoy the first few images from their gorgeous wedding. Phil

An incredible and fun pre wedding experience shoot with this fab couple, Clare and Richard. They came down from their places of work in Telford, to join me down a local mere in my home town of Ellesmere. We were greeted with the most incredible light and a stunning rainbow from a passing cloud burst. I hurriedly bossed (sorry guys) them into position on the end of the jetty to capture the fast fading rainbow….every cloud and all that!! After the rainbow had faded we were then treated to the most incredible light, light that just played with the soft swaying trees…the fresh greens and the warmth of a long missed hot summers day, how we all remember those? This was a glimpse of what could be, we can only hope and pray that the weather takes a hold and we loose some of this awful rain. Last year was testing on many levels, but being a skilled photographer has it’s advantages…every cloud has it’s own sweet silver lining, and like many professionals I can and do work with the elements to make sure my clients get the very best no matter what mother nature throws our way. Indeed if you are looking for a creative, artistic and thoroughly capable photographer for your wedding, party, commercial commission, please do get in touch. Perhaps we can work some magic for your big day too. In the meantime please enjoy this lovely couple pre wedding experience and do let me know your thoughts. All the best Phil
As a creative portrait and wedding photographer I feel very strongly that it is always important to keep practising and honing my skills. This is exactly what I did a little while back with another photographer and good friend of mine, Steve Hale. We booked a model to accompany us around the streets of Chester City. We took a few light stands and a few speedlights to create some interesting and dynamic images. The opportunities to do these type of shots do present themselves at weddings, but being ready and able, to set them up quickly is incredibly important. I really don’t want to be messing about on someone’s special day. This is the time to do just that, to release all the restrictions that a wedding can, and sometimes with the time restrictions, do, impose upon me, and have some fun. If anyone out there would like to accompany me on a Creative Model Shoot around Chester. Then please do get in touch, if enough interest is shown then a workshop may well be possible. All the best Phil
A beautiful spring day and a perfect day for a Shropshire creative wedding photographer to get stuck into…finally, the sun was shining for this lovely couple and their family. Sarah and Kern came to see me at my studio over in Oswestry, just a few minutes walk from their reception venue which was held at the Wynnstay Hotel. Who are one of my commercial photography clients too, hopefully Emma and her team will soon update their website with some fabulous new images of their lovely town centre hotel. The decoration of the venue was provided by Jo and her team over at the fantastic Elegant Finishing Touches, another great local company whose ethos and ethics are superb, as is their approach to design. Sarah had her hair done at one of Oswestry’s salons on Salop Road, the fabulous Way Ahead who I had worked with just a few weeks before on Claire and John’s wedding, which you may remember was at the beginning of April….their wedding can be seen HERE , one of my two Old Rectory weddings from earlier in the year. Sarah’s choice of style was just amazing, her attention to detail with the beautiful hair piece was just perfect with her chosen style. When it was put together with her dress from another Oswestry supplier, “Trisha’s” it was wedding day perfection. Other suppliers were Arrive in Style, for the transport, and Schuh…the flowers were supplied by Park Gates, another Oswestry supplier, and with myself completed a near perfect “shop local” supplier list that is worthy of a big thank you to this young couple…who basically used, and supported, many local wedding vendors. Big thank you’s to Sarah and Kern, it was amazing working with you, thank you for entrusting your memories to me. Phil

I just love doing my pre wedding pictures, it is really a great way to get to know my clients, and this is one of the reasons I include it with every wedding I book….the other reasons are many, but the main one is to get you guys used to the way I work, and for me to build up our rapport before the wedding itself. Row and John joined me on what had been a pretty wet and thoroughly miserable evening in April, but as good fortune would have it, the sun broke through and basked us in an amazing early spring light. These were all taken around Ellesmere, if you are after a creative photographer to get you some artistic images to capture your special time together, then please do consider me, and why not get in touch. Drop me a line or give me a call and lets get chatting.
