PHOTOSHOOTS FOR

FAMILIES

As a Documentary Manchester Wedding Photographer I will spend the largest part of your wedding day capturing those special moments between your beloved friends, family and of course you both. A small part of the day can be spent with some creative portraits which I also enjoy capturing for you both.

Phils FAMILY SHOOT

Capturing the Heart of Your Family Story

Life moves fast, and in the chaos of everyday moments—bedtime stories, messy breakfasts, the way your child’s hand fits in yours—it’s easy to forget just how fleeting each stage of life truly is. That’s where I come in. My approach to family photography isn’t about stiff poses or forced smiles; it’s about capturing the raw, honest, and beautiful reality of your family as it is right now.

The belly laughs, the quiet cuddles, the wild energy of childhood—these are the moments that define your journey, and they deserve to be documented in a way that feels natural, effortless, and entirely yours. A single session freezes time, but the real magic happens when we create a series of images over months or years, giving you a tangible timeline of your family’s evolution. Because someday, you’ll want to look back—not just to remember how everyone looked, but to feel exactly what life was like in those moments.

A LIFETIME OF MEMORIES

That’s why I offer more than just one-off photo sessions. Many families choose to document their lives every six months, creating a visual narrative that unfolds year by year. From the early days of babyhood to the ever-changing stages of childhood and beyond, these images become a priceless archive of your family’s story. The beauty of this approach is that it captures not only the physical growth of your children but also the deepening connections, the evolving dynamics, and the little details you may not even realize you’ll miss until they’re gone. My goal is to give you more than just pictures—I want to give you a way to step back into these moments whenever you need to, to relive the joy, the chaos, the love, and the life that makes your family uniquely yours..
