Report
We are a husband and wife team with over 10 years experience, therefore your wedding photography is in safe hands. We pride ourselves on our relaxed and friendly approach, putting you and your guests at ease. Based just outside Tamworth, we are in an ideal location to cover venues in Sutton Coldfield, Birmingham, Warwickshire, Lichfield, and all surrounding areas of the Midlands. Before the big day, we arrange to meet with our couples at their wedding venue to walk through the grounds and create a personal shot list. We have worked at many of the West Midlands leading venues over the years including New Hall Hotel, Moor Hall Hotel, Drayton Manor, Nuthurst Grange, Swinfen Hall Hotel, Lea Marston Hotel, the list goes on. Please take a look at our gallery of weddings we have had the pleasure to cover, and also visit our blog page for our couple’s experiences. Scroll down to see some of our example packages, to suit all budgets.
Newborn baby photos are a lovely way to celebrate your new arrival and we set up our studio to get it just right for your little one. Your family are the most important people in your life and having a family portrait offers a very special snapshot that's timeless. Your wedding day should be all about celebrating the love between you and your partner and sharing the special occasion with your guests.
We are a truly family run business, Phil the and Vicky will take you through the whole process and by the end hope you'll consider us more as friends than photographers. Our mums and children also help out when things get busy, you'll see the kids popping up in a lot of promotional videos and photographs.
We are a specially trained husband and wife photography team, with over 15 years experience photographing families, with a welcoming friendly studio. Or scroll down if you would like to know more. After your shoot Phil will go through your images and edit them to make them the best that they can be.
The first question on everyone's mind. The only upfront cost is 45 paid to book your shoot. After that it is totally up to you. We have a choice of prints, frames, canvas, aluminium, and USB's with prices starting from 33. We will send out a getting to know you questionnaire. This helps us understand what you want and from there we can answer any questions and book your shoot.

Took our little baby boy Jacob, to get his photos taken and for some family photos. Couldn't have asked for a better environment for him to be in. Nice and toasty room for him too. Phil took his time to help settle him on numerous occasions and both Phil and Vicky took really good care of us all. Would highly recommend for any type of photo experience but we loved our newborn shoot. Can't wait to go back and use them in the future.

Really enjoyed taking our baby boy Jacob to Philips Charles Photography Ltd. From the first minute to going back to pick up our photos both Phil and Vicky made us feel so welcome. I was a little nervous when going to have the photos done as our baby wasn't settling very well at the time. But both of them made him feel so good and sleepy. I would 100% recommend them. When baby number 2 comes we will be back.

Can't thank Phil and Vicky enough for our fantastic family photographs. Some of us are not what you would call photogenic but with help from chicky (granddaughters toy) Phil managed to capture some great smiles and laughter. Our only regret us that we didn't get a photo including chicky as he has been misplaced.

We hired Philip Charles photography for our wedding last year and can't praise them highly enough. Took some amazing photos and were great to have around during the day. Vicky and Phil were super helpful and did their best to tailor the package to what we wanted. The albums they created for us after the event were of really high quality and had a very reasonable turnaround. Very happy we hired them both for our special day.

Thank you so much for our amazing photos! We won a voucher at our daughters schools Christmas raffle and could not have been happier. Phi took some amazing photos and even managed to get my grumpy 2 year old to join in! There were so many wonderful photos to choose from that we decided to go with a montage which looks great in our house. Can't thank Vicky and Phil enough for all their hard work!

Absolutely beautiful photos! My daughter was throwing tantrums and Vicky and Phil were both so brilliant getting her to laugh and smile so we got some great pictures. Really professional and so friendly I really felt at home. Highly recommended, absolutely brilliant photographers and their enthusiasm and passion really shows!

From the moment we met Vicky from Philip Charles Photography, we were impressed with her standard of work, enthusiasm, easy-going manner and passion for what she does. Throughout our experience Vicky was on hand to offer advice on the best shots both indoors and outdoors including contingency shots should the weather be unkind as we married in October 2021. However, these were not needed as our weather was truly amazing and Vicky was able to take all the shots she had planned.
Our wedding party had nothing but praise for Vicky as her approachable and easy manner showed through when she was taking our pictures. I think her passion and standard of work absolutely shows in our pictures and she captured the essence of our wedding, relaxed, intimate and gloriously happy. We would happily recommend Vicky to any couple getting married. Thank you again Vicky.

Very professional and made us feel at ease. Phil was very patient with our dog and it was very difficult to choose which photos we wanted as they were all brilliant. Vicky was very patient with us and was really helpful going back over all the photos quite a few times while we made our minds up. Beautiful photos that really showed our old dog at his best. Thank you!

Highly recommended. I can not stress this enough if your thinking of having a photo shoot please go and see Vicky and Phil. They’re so lovely and you’ll instantly be put at ease, there experience and advise is second to none. My daughter is only 7 months old and they were amazing with her truly wonderful. I bought several outfits on the day with me and we chose the best from there experience and they were so right.
I felt so welcome and had so much fun, the whole time of the shoot we spent laughing and be silly and it felt normal. The memories will last forever and will still be as fun when I think of them in years to come.

What an absolutely lovely experience. The photoshoot was relaxed and fun and our 10 year old son said he really enjoyed it (so that's a feat in its self). The pictures are 2nd to none and capture us as a family. I will definitely recommend to family and friends. Thanks again for a wonderful experience.

We booked a photo session with our newborn and our two year old. We booked last minute and we were able to go the very next day! Phil was extremely professional yet friendly and approachable throughout the whole session. We were there for around two hours and felt at home and at ease - both Phil and Vicky were amazing with our children and we could not recommend them enough. We purchased a canvas and a frame with three photographs and both are superb! Thank you again, we will definitely be back in the future

I took my 2 year old for her first photo shoot and she had so much fun! Phillip was fantastic with her and she enjoyed it so much she wants to return! All done in about 20 minutes, fab pics and a happy memory of my little one enjoying herself! Thank you guys, well organised by Vicky and fantastic communication from booking to ordering and collection.

Our recent family shoot was fantastic. We were made to feel so at ease and relaxed throughout. Being a dad himself, Phil was so patient with our mischievous boys and really took his time to capture some beautiful pictures. We returned the following week to view our photos with Vicky..... they were all stunning!!! This made it so difficult to choose our favourite ones! Vicky was great as she made us aware of all our options and guided us through our choices without being pushy at all!
She was so understanding of our budget too! We would highly recommend Philip Charles photography to our family and friends as the service was fabulous. Can't wait for our pictures to arrive now!!

We have just had a family photoshoot and can honestly say it has been a wonderful experience. The photoshoot itself was professional but relaxed and we all felt totally at ease. We have just viewed our photos and they are absolutely wonderful. We can't recommend Philip Charles Photography enough. Thank you both for such a great experience. We'll definitely be back!

Just had my viewing of a photoshoot of my 6yr old and 4yr old. Phil was amazing with the kids throughout the photoshoot and the photos are absolutely beautiful! No tears or tantrums just lots of fun! Also no pressure or sales pitch when selecting photos, relaxing environment. Would highly recommend.
