Philippa Sian Photography Full Description
My work is inspired by dreamy light, nature, and intimate moments. I use a very natural yet stylish approach in my photography which allows me to tell a story and capture people's personalities and emotions in a romantic, beautiful, authentic way. I achieve this through my unobtrusive and reportage candid style mixed with natural and stylish portraits. If you feel the same way about photographs as I do, you will understand the importance of investing in your wedding day photography. I make photographs, I don't take them. Photographing a love story is a delicate art and one that I take on with a lot of passion. I believe that wedding photography should not just be about photographing 'stages' of the day, but about telling an emotive and authentic love story. On your wedding day I spend time capturing your beautiful details, the emotion of your guests and most importantly we will spend time together crafting you a beautiful set of portraits which you make you stop and remember how beautiful you were, how beautiful your day was. When you invest in my photography, you are actually investing in ME. You are investing in what I hope to be a new friend, a wedding helper, someone who you feel you can trust, who you can depend on in the run up to the wedding, on the day and after. My most popular collection for all day coverage includes: - all day coverage (10 hours) - pre wedding engagement photo session - pre wedding consultation and timeline - Luxury USB and presentation box of 400+ fully edited images - bespoke photo viewing - UK travel - Online gallery with thank you card inserts - luxury and thoughtful services throughout! Get in touch to receive more information and my beautiful e-brochure with pricing, photos, and wedding tips!

She provided us with a service so above and beyond
"It's taken us a long time to write this review, as doing so feels like admitting that our wedding bubble has finally burst and that we must return the the real world! Thankfully Philippa has provided us with the most exceptional memories of our day captured so expertly in her photographs, for us to look at and love for the rest of our lives. From start to finish Philippa provided us with a service so above and beyond what was expected that it was hard to imagine how we could have got through it without her! Her sheer passion and enthusiasm for all things 'wedding' is evident in all she does, making prospective brides and grooms feel excited about their big day and providing pearls of wisdom along the way. The pre-wedding shoot was the perfect way to calm our wedding-photo jitters and gave us the chance to see Philippa in action, which once again confirmed that we had made a brilliant choice in her. On the day itself everyone commented on how fantastic Philippa was, integrating herself into the key parts of the day so seamlessly and subtly yet still managing to capture every special moment. The final product was exceptional (although we had no doubts it would be anything but!) - and Philippa's generous, warm and bubbly personality made the whole process exciting and special. We are recommending Philippa to everyone that we know - she really is the best. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts xxx" Lucy and Josh

Philippa was professional but friendly
Philippa really did a truly exceptional job from the first time we met her to the wedding day, to the day we got to see the finished product of her photo's. At all times Philippa was professional but friendly, helpful nothing was too much trouble. Where we needed recommendations for other things such as hair & makeup she gave suggestions, and provided links to useful websites. I would not hesitate to recommend Philippa to anyone getting married. The finished photo's are really beautiful.

She supported us every step of the way
I had come across Philippa from a Google search and loved the way she shot. From the moment I met her in her house I knew she would capture our day perfectly. She was brilliant at explaining how she worked and I felt so comfortable and ease so I booked her straight away. I now feel she is not just our wedding photographer but is now a friend who has supported and thought of us every step of the way in the lead up to, during and after our wedding. Philippa was the perfect photographer for our wedding- brilliant at making us feel comfortable as she helped us smile and giggle our way through our pre wedding shoot! She kept in touch regularly and I think was one of the most excited people about our wedding which made it feel truly special. On the day she was so friendly and our guests loved her as she discreetly captured our most personal moments which were perfectly presented to us this week.

Nothing Short of Perfection
Nothing short of perfection is what I would say about Philippa. From our initial contact which was professional but also engaging and warm, to the preparation that she guided us through, to the day, where despite the weather, she produced the most amazing set of photographs. Her attention to detail is impressive and her ability to make us feel totally at ease with her made such a difference. Its the small things that often make the difference and she goes the extra mile in all she does.

She was everywhere without being seen
Philippa was amazing, she was everywhere without being seen during the wedding ceremony and reception. She captured both us and our guests in a fantastic set of pictures that look wonderful and gave us a real feel of the day when we saw them. All of our family and friends love the pictures.

FAQs

What is your most memorable wedding?

My most memorable wedding are always the ones where the flowers are incredible! However, flowers and beautiful details aside, my most memorable are the ones where the bride, groom and family make me feel so welcome that I am considered a friend.... which tends to be almost all of my weddings at the moment! I'm one lucky photographer and I am getting to work with some truly gorgeous people.

Describe your style in 5 adjectives.

Natural, Unobtrusive, Stylish, Relaxed, Storytelling

What about your business are you most proud of?

My luxury, personal and thoughtful service. I truly believe that the little things matter, as well as creating beautiful memories for people.

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Create yourself a timeline, and tackle 1 thing at a time. It can feel overwhelming but it doesn't have to be.

Describe your typical process with a couple.

My service is luxury but also friendly and personal so it all begins in the comfort of my home at a pre-wedding consultation and ends in the same way with their photo viewing accompanied with a glass of bubbly. My couples do not book me and never hear from me until the wedding day; I am with them every step of the way, creating a beautiful and luxury service for them which is why I take on a limited number of weddings a year to ensure each and everyone receives a quality experience. Many of my brides end up being friends, and for me building a relationship and taking the time to get to know my couples is what's truly important, not only for their experience but it allows them to feel completely comfortable on their wedding day when having their photo taken. I can blend into the background of their wedding as a friend, rather than a stranger.

What is the No. 1 photo that you think every couple should take?

I shoot very naturally and so all moments that happen in front of me get taken. If you could only take 1 photo at a wedding, just 1 single image, then mine would be of the couple walking down the aisle together as a newly married couple.

What do you recommend for a rainy day wedding?

Positive outlooks and happy smiles. Rain NEVER ruins a wedding and suppliers will work flexibly to your needs and you can still get beautiful photographs.

Describe how you got into photography.

I simply loved taking photos of every memory and printing them out in albums! I was known for having a camera (albeit non-professional at the time) with me and simply loved documenting life as it went by. When I got to an age where i began attending weddings, the obsession grew and lots of my photos i took as a guest (again on a non-professional camera) would be the ones friends would choose to frame in their homes... so it got me thinking, I could actually do this?! I sat in the garden with my family on a summers evening, made a 5 year plan on how to make my passion a reality, and now, as they say, the rest is history....
