ABOUT ME.

Hey, I’m Philip. Lover of music, dogs, coffee and wine. I live in a ramshackled old farm house in the countryside with my WONDERFUL wife Kat. Her beauty and strength has been a constant in my life since we started our own journey almost 30 years ago. Married as teenagers and without a care in the world, the adventure that followed has been wild. We’re parents to the two most PHENOMENAL young women. Jennifer, our impassioned academic with degrees from both Cambridge and Oxford and Alice, the most beautiful, artistic soul and hardest worker I know. Raising two INCREDIBLE girls as mere children ourselves into strong, accomplished young women will always be my greatest achievement in life.

London Wedding Photographer Philip White

// MY APPROACH

I firmly believe that only 5% of capturing your wedding day will involve a camera. For me it’s about connecting with everyone. I want to be a guest with a camera, shooting totally relaxed from the inside, rather than as an onlooker. It’s my ability to work with people that’s been the foundation of any success I’ve had.


I observe, I join in, and I capture every real moment that’s happening. Nothing staged, Nothing forced. Just you guys and the people who love you.

I also want to bring over 16 years of experience to the table. the calming influence. THE ADVICE GIVER. PROVIDER OF GUIDANCE, HUGS AND HIGH FIVES. I’VE BEEN THERE HUNDREDS OF TIMES BEFORE AND TRUST ME, EXPERIENCE MATTERS.

// REAL MOMENTS

I see myself as a professional observer. Ready to pounce discreetly when something happens. Your Wedding day will be packed full of a thousand moments that you’l likely miss as you get swept along with the ride. It’s my job to capture these micro moments in a way that tells a true, authentic story of the complete event.

Your eye will be on those beautiful social media images that you’ll obviously receive, but mine are fixed on 20+ years down the road, when you’re sat with your grandchildren re-living the best day of your lives.

// EVERY DETAIL

Every element of your day has been chosen meticulously to represent you guys as a couple. It’s my job to not only capture the obvious. The florals, the location etc – But also the unseen. The hand written notes, and lists, the end of the night wine stained table linens and chocolate stained shirts that go so much further to tell the authentic picture of your day.

// COUPLE’S PORTRAITS

THIS IS TYPICALLY THE ONE THING THAT MY COUPLES WORRY ABOUT MOST WHEN IT COMES TO PHOTOGRAPHY. MY RESPONSE IS SIMPLE. IF YOU CAN WALK FROM A TO B. IF YOU CAN SIT AND COMMUNICATE WITH YOUR NEW HUSBAND/WIFE THEN I CAN DELIVER YOU A SERIES OF INCREDIBLE ‘COUPLE’S PORTRAITS’. THE WORST THING I CAN THINK OF IS THAT YOU LOOK AT YOUR PHOTOS IN 20 YEARS AND WON’T RECOGNISE YOURSELVES BECAUSE YOU’RE WEIRDLY TOUCHING FACES OR LOOKING OFF INTO THE DISTANCE TITANIC STYLE. I’LL PROVIDE THE DIRECTION BUT IT’S NOT ABOUT POSING, IT’S ABOUT YOU GUYS BEING DRESSED UP TO THE NINES AND LOOKING COMPLETELY NATURAL TOGETHER.

NEXT STEPS

Choosing your Photographer / Filmmaker is a huge deal. I’m not only providing you with a set of priceless images but I’ll be the guy that you’ll have to hang out with for the best part of your wedding day. FOR THAT REASON I WANT TO BOOK COUPLES THAT RESONATE COMPLETELY WITH NOT ONLY MY WORK BUT ALSO ME AS A PERSON. I DON’T JUST WANT TO FILL DATES IN THE DIARY.

IF YOU LIKE WE CAN ARRANGE A ZOOM (OR REGULAR) CALL TO DISCUSS YOUR VISION IN MORE DETAIL.

I REALLY HOPE TO HEAR FRO YOU SOON.
