“Phil is an excellent photographer and provides a very personable service. We booked him for our wedding without much notice and Phil made us feel at ease with his experience and approach.
On the wedding day Phil took excellent photos whilst easily managing us and the guests. During the ceremony Phil wasn’t intrusive when taking his photos and he also allocated time and allowed the guests to take their own photos when available. During the reception Phil helped co-ordinate the guests so that the group shots we had requested were taken
We would highly recommend PJL Photography if you want excellent photos with a friendly service”
