Philip White is a London wedding specialist crafting editorial, documentary wedding photos. He immerses in your day to capture honest, timeless images that feel effortless and personal.
I specialise in wedding photography in London and across the world, bridging classic reportage with an editorial, fashion-led sensibility. My work is rooted in authenticity: I spend less time thinking about the camera and more time connecting with you and your guests so I can shoot from the inside of your day. That approach lets me capture genuine moments — the quiet, candid, joyful and sometimes raw emotions — and shape them into images with a timeless, editorial finish. Over three decades of photographing weddings (500+ at the last count) have taught me that great wedding photography is as much about people as it is about technique. I aim to be unobtrusive, kind and curious — someone who blends into the flow of the day rather than directing everyone into artificial poses. I’ll offer minimal, considered direction when it helps the image, but my priority is to preserve real interactions that will still feel honest in 50 or 100 years. Stylistically I sit between documentary and editorial photography. I love the narrative truth of reportage and the compositional ambitions of fashion photography, and I work to combine both so your wedding photos look beautiful while remaining utterly authentic. My imagery has been recognised internationally — from industry awards to editorial features — and I bring that experience to every wedding, whether a small London registry ceremony or a large celebration abroad. Although wedding photography is my primary focus, I also work as a filmmaker and run educational masterclasses for photographers. Those secondary activities inform my storytelling sensibility but never distract from the job at hand: creating a coherent, emotional record of your wedding day. If you want a wedding photographer who puts honesty and connection at the centre of the work — someone who will create editorial, fashion-aware photographs without losing the documentary heart of the day — my approach will be a fit. I strive to make the experience relaxed and human, leaving you with a collection of images that feel personal, stylish and timeless.
