Phil Brown is a Lichfield wedding photographer specialising in natural, relaxed storytelling. He captures authentic moments, blends into the day and supports couples from planning to dancing.
Hey — I’m Phil, a Lichfield-based wedding photographer who fell in love with weddings after a decade shooting motorsport. My approach is simple: natural, relaxed and story-driven. I aim to document the real emotions, laughter and small moments that make each wedding unique rather than forcing posed images that feel staged. Why choose me? I bring a friendly, calm energy that puts people at ease. Couples tell me I blend into the day — getting involved with guests and following the flow of events so I can capture spontaneous moments without interrupting them. That balance of unobtrusive documentary coverage with gentle, confident direction for group or couple portraits is what creates timeless, authentic wedding photos you’ll want to revisit for years. How I work: from our first chat (I usually start with a Zoom call) through to the last dance, I’m here to help. I offer planning support and guidance on timings, light and logistics to make the photography feel seamless on the day. For group shots I run things efficiently to keep guests relaxed; for couple portraits I prefer short, natural windows — a few ten-minute strolls around the venue is all I need to capture you together, being yourselves. My style is documentary-led with a relaxed, contemporary feel. I love using natural light and real moments — the smiles, the tears, the in-between — to build a genuine record of your day. I’m proud to be approachable and hands-on: whether that’s helping with a morning timeline or cracking a joke to get a laugh for the camera, my focus is on making the whole experience enjoyable. Video is available as a secondary option within a photo & video collaboration, should you want both formats captured. My primary passion and expertise remains wedding photography, but I can work alongside trusted partners to offer combined coverage when desired. Based in Lichfield and covering weddings across the UK and beyond, I’m committed to delivering professional, heartfelt images that reflect your day as it truly happened. If you’re after natural, relaxed wedding photography that tells your story, I’d love to hear about your plans.
