Danni and Mark

I have known Danni for nigh on 20 years, when she first arrived in my hometown of Ellesmere. A beautiful soul inside and out, as engaging and as honest as she is beautiful. So when she asked me along to capture her most special of days to her partner in life, Mark, I couldn’t say yes quick enough.

Not only did Danni choose what is undoubtedly one of my favourite venues in Shropshire, Rowton Castle, she also made sure I was available before booking her date. What a lovely gesture and goes right to the heart of what I always strive to achieve for all my couples. An amazing experience with some incredible imagery to remember their day with.

Rowton Castle Experience

Getting married at this stunning venue is a truly wonderful experience and when Danni and Mark advised me they were going to be getting married there, well I was just so thrilled for them. Knowing this venue like I do I always look forward to making a welcome return there. Something I have been doing for over 15 years now. I literally know this castle inside out. So much so I even captured the beautiful wedding of the Castle’s general manager and his gorgeous wife there too, Gareth and Ceri, Ceri also happens to be the marketing manager at Rowton Castle as well.

I am so honoured to get so much positive feedback from my couples, and Danni and Mark have been kind enough to leave me a wonderful review, so I will now leave you in peace and leave the words of Danni to express her experience of my craft to you.

If you wish to know more about my work, then please do drop me a line and let’s have a chat.

Simply The Best!
I’ve been fortunate enough to know Phil since 2006, my children had a photoshoot with him in his first studio photography session many years ago, and I’ve had the privilege of watching his photography career develop over many years.

When we came to planning our wedding the first thing we did, before even choosing a venue was to contact Phil and check his availability. We then planned the rest of our wedding around those dates as there was no way I was getting married without the honour of Phil capturing those treasured moments.

Phil is incredibly professional and talented whilst also being extremely personable. He takes the time to understand the vibe you’d like him to achieve with his work and captures the most precious moments. We are eternally grateful for the most beautiful photos we have been presented with, they make us laugh, cry and remember our incredible day.

Phil doesn’t just take a photo, he tells your story through the lens of his camera, he simply is the best.

Thank you
Danni & Mark
