Hampshire Wedding Photographer

I've spent over a decade photographing weddings across Hampshire, and I can honestly say there's nowhere quite like it. From the moment I arrive at a venue, I know exactly where the light will fall during golden hour, which corners hide the best backdrops for portraits, and where those spontaneous, authentic moments tend to unfold.

That knowledge? It's your advantage.

When you book a Hampshire photographer who truly knows the region's wedding venues inside out, you're not just hiring someone with a camera. You're gaining a guide who can navigate your day with confidence, anticipate the perfect moments, and deliver photographs that capture your story exactly as it happens.

Experience That Spans Hampshire's Wedding Venues

Over the past 10+ years, I've had the privilege of photographing weddings at some of Hampshire's most stunning locations. I'm talking about venues like Great Fosters, where the Tudor architecture creates those dreamy, timeless images. Or Pitt Hall Barn, where the rustic charm and countryside setting make for incredible candid photography. I've captured countless weddings at Tylney Hall, with its magnificent gardens and elegant interiors, and Highfield Park, where the natural beauty speaks for itself.

Here's why that matters to you:

When I arrive at a venue I've photographed before, I'm not guessing. I know the exact spot where the ceremony light creates magic at 3pm. I've already worked out the best locations for your couple portraits without stealing hours from your reception. I understand how the venue flows, where your guests will naturally gather, and crucially—where those fleeting, emotional moments happen.

A Decade of Experience, Not Just Local Knowledge

Now, you might be thinking: "What if Phil hasn't shot at my venue before?"

It's a fair question, and here's my honest answer: whilst I've photographed dozens of wedding venues Hampshire has to offer, I haven't shot at every single one. Some venues are brand new, some couples choose truly unique locations, and that's absolutely brilliant.

But here's what matters more than whether I've been to your specific venue: my 10+ years of experience.

I've photographed weddings across the UK and internationally—from châteaux in France to castles in Kent, from London townhouses to rural Somerset farms. I've worked in grand ballrooms and village halls, on clifftops and in gardens, during torrential rain and blazing sunshine.

What Experience Brings

That decade of experience means I can:

1. Read any space quickly – I assess lighting, backgrounds, and flow within minutes of arrival
2. Adapt to anything – Unexpected weather? Timeline changes? I've navigated it all
3. Anticipate moments – Ten years of weddings means I know when the magic's about to happen
4. Work efficiently – I maximise your portrait time whilst minimising disruption
5. Stay calm under pressure – Because I've genuinely seen (and solved) it all before

Whether I've shot at your venue a dozen times or it's my first visit, you're getting someone who knows how to deliver exceptional photographs in any situation. That's the real advantage of choosing an experienced Hampshire photographer.

Hampshire-Based, Available Throughout the UK and Beyond

Whilst Hampshire is my home and my core area of expertise, my passion for photography and meeting new people means I'm available well beyond our county borders.

I regularly photograph weddings across the surrounding counties:

• Berkshire
• Surrey
• Wiltshire
• Oxfordshire
• Somerset
• Dorset

And I'm always excited about destination weddings—whether that's Scotland, the Cotswolds, or further afield to France, Italy, or wherever your celebration takes you.

The truth is, whilst my deep knowledge of wedding venues Hampshire offers gives me a head start at local celebrations, my decade of experience travels with me wherever I go. The fundamentals of great candid photography remain constant, whether I'm in a Hampshire barn or a French château.

If you're planning weddings Hampshire or the surrounding areas, I'd love to hear about your celebration.
