Where every moment matters
Welcome to Philippa James Photography, where I, Philippa, a professional photographer based in Oxford, bring your special day to life through my lens. As a passionate storyteller, my approach to wedding photography is all about capturing the off-camera moments that make your day truly unforgettable. These are the authentic, often hidden moments that reveal the true essence of your love story.
My Story
Growing up in Oxford, I developed a deep love for photography, which eventually led me to pursue a career in it. I'm a firm believer that every couple's love story is unique, and it's my job to bring that to life through my photographs. When I'm not clicking away behind the lens, I'm a mum to three wonderful kiddos and a partner to my lovely husband. We got married a few years ago, and all I can say is that it was the best bloody day ever!
My Approach
My photography style is all about capturing those precious, off-camera moments that make your wedding day truly unique.
