Philtography - Candid, Natural, Storytelling Wedding Photography Candid, Natural, Storytelling Photography - Wedding & Events Photography in the Cotswolds and Surrou I approach all photography with this mindset. So hi!

Truly great photography is about letting your subject's personality shine through. It's capturing those magical split-second moments so they can be shared with the world and cherished forever. My role is to capture the essence of what makes you - 'you'. Whether it's a wedding day, birthday, christening or family & pets shoot, your photos will be natural, beautiful, creative but above all else shin

ing with your personality. My name is Phil Loadwick and I am a wedding & events photographer covering The Cotswolds, Gloucestershire and surrounding areas. Over the years I have seen many jaded photographers that have shot the same venue that many times that it becomes a disconnected robotic procedure to them, just ticking off a set routine to churn out yet another generic wedding day set of photos. I vowed never to become like this. My shooting ethos is ‘every person is a unique individual with unique quirks, facial expressions and personality traits’. This means I approach every wedding as it should be, a totally unique day. My sole job is to capture what makes you and your day special, to record the magic of this day for you to treasure for the rest of your lives. As a storytelling photographer, I move quietly around your venues capturing the smiles, tears and laughter that accompany your day. I do my utmost to document every last moment of your wedding day as every photo tells a story. We of course do the traditional group shots but I aim to keep this time to a minimum so that your guests don’t get bored and you have more time to enjoy this amazing day. We later sneak off, usually around sunset, to capture some beautiful romantic shots of just the two of you. I offer an extensive range of packages which can be viewed here:

I look forward to hearing from you.
