My services are in place to keep things simple, ensuring you receive the best set of photographs possible.

You can also rest assured that my coverage package includes all travel expenses no matter where your wedding is taking place.
Philosophy
I love photography
The world through a camera lens is one I feel most connected to. Being able to freeze and capture a moment in time and have that forever is what truly inspires me.
I love people
Meeting new people is something which is close to my heart. I’ve always been told that I get on with anyone, for me I just love making new friends.
I love to travel
Travel is so inspiring, once a year I go somewhere I haven’t been before. Destination weddings always leave me in awe of countries, culture and people.
"Words cannot describe how amazing our photos are .... just WOW!"

Wedding Albums
The beauty of print
You have to admit theres something very special about a brand new book, the smell, the feel, the look. I’m a bit of a book addict and it took me a long time to decide on the right album manufacture. For me I didn’t want to provide a big ole bulky traditional album which would mostly end up on the book shelve forgotten about. I want to provide modern, fun yet stylish albums which would not look out of place on a coffee table so here is a little selection of the amazing wedding albums I offer.
When I shoot a wedding I am always capturing images for the album as I find it’s the best way to enjoy & show off your photographs and what better way to display your wedding story. Being a book nut it’s taken me a lot of time & effort researching to find something which fits my high standards & also my style of photography. I bring you QT Albums with a choice of Leather and Cotton covers. Available sizes are 8×8, 10×10, 12×12 inches. You also have the option of including a duplicate 6×6 mini album for those proud parents.
So the only thing left to do is to choose which type of album you would prefer? You have two choices. A leather or cotton cover? Both albums are from QT’s Aria book range, QT’s best sellers with a gorgeous photo finish lustre finish. With a beautiful dynamic range, you and your family will be impressed by this gem of an album.
Produced by experts
Did I mention all of QT’s albums are handmade! As you can imagine the process of producing a handmade album is an involved one. Luckily the guys at QT albums are handpicked craftsmen, this way they can make sure every album is truly special – weather you want a bespoke request, lots of personalisation or just want to be certain you’ll get a exceptional finish you won’t go wrong with this wedding album company.
Once you have received your online private gallery from me you can easily go ahead and start looking at album layout designs. I have an integrated gallery platform which allows you to select your favourite images and populates them in an album for you so you will be able to visually see straight away what your album will look like. If however you would rather me design your album for you this also can be done I can send out a colour swatches and sample. Your album is typically made up of 15 spreads, (30 pages) but you can add as many as you wish.
Of course being a book nut I will recommend a personalised wedding album everytime to all my clients but of course the decision is entirely yours. If you would like to know more or have any questions please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
Questions to ask your wedding photographer
What are your rates?
Commissions for weddings depends on wedding location and availability. Average bookings for clients is £1795. Reach out via the Contact Page or at hello@philipquinnellphotography.com for my latest brochure and pricing.
Do we need to feed you on the big day?
I would be forever in your debt if you could, I average a 13 hour day at weddings so a hot meal will make me your best friend forever. ( Doesn’t have to be wedding breakfast meal, a burger from the bar menu is fine.)
Can friends and family order prints?
They certainly can. Free digital downloads are also available from your private gallery.
What happens if your ill on the wedding day?
This has never happened as of yet (touch wood!), but I do have a plan in place. I must say that I would have to be seriously unwell not to attend. If I broke my leg don’t be surprised if you see me rock up in a wheelchair! Failing that I am part of large collective of professional wedding photographers. I would arrange for another professional with a similar style to my own work on my behalf. If however you found your own arrangements then you would of course be entitled to a full refund.
How long until we receive our photographs?
I aim to deliver your slideshow set to music within 3 weeks and your full online gallery within 6 weeks.
What do we get in our online gallery?
Fully processed, edited, and downloadable printable high resolution jpeg images.
Do you take any group photos?
Of course! This isn’t what people hire me for but I understand most people would like a few. I recommend keeping the number to around 10. Each one can take 2-3 minutes so thats 20-30 minutes. Having an Usher or someone really loud to help gather people really speeds this up.
Are you insured?
I sure am! Public liability and professional indemnity.
Can we post our photos online, share them, or print them?
Absolutely. You can print your photos wherever you want and you can distribute them around the internet too (facebook, twitter, email etc). I also provide prints from my professional print lab if you want them done well.
Do we own the copyright of the images?
Unfortunately no. You have the licence to print and share your photographs. The full copyright is retained by me, all this means is that you can’t sell, modify or enter the photographs in competitions.
Do you backup the photos?
I sure do! Both of my cameras records the images to 2 memory cards. I back the images up to a laptop during the wedding breakfast, by the time I leave in the evening I have 3 copies of every photo taken and I make a 4th when I get home and upload them to ‘the cloud’.
Are all of your photos edited?
Yup. All of them. Colour and exposure will be exactly as I attend them to be.
How many photos will we receive?
I typically deliver between 400-600 photos per wedding.
How do we book and pay?
Once your happy to go ahead and book me I will send you a custom payment portal online where you can sign the digital contract and make the deposit payment of £350 via debit/credit card to secure the date. As soon as I receive these 2 things – the date goes in the calendar and you’re officially booked in, Hurrah!
Do you have any limits on coverage time on our wedding day?
Never any limits on photos taken and I offer full day coverage as standard. I’m yours for whenever you need me throughout the day.
Where will you travel?
Anywhere! I’m based in Andover but love venturing further afield, my passport and cameras are always at the ready!
