Applehead Photography & Design

hotographs. My wedding guests also loved them. If I had a downside to tell I would share it - but I truly do not. I was hesitant because they were outside our budget - but so glad I did because they had a wedding package that ended up being perfect for us!

d I knew immediately that we had made the right choice. Every photo we have from them is a deeply cherished treasure and we are so glad to have gotten to know Phillip and Heather in the process. Not only did they match our desire to be out in the cold (January for engagement photos on a VERY windy mountain and January for the wedding in a historic downtown), they thrived in it! I swear you can see it in the photos. And they were always so sweet to our little pup who we just couldn’t be without! They fit in with our wedding crowd so well that they may as well have been a part of the family - we’ve gotten so many compliments on them as people before the photos were even back! And while the photos are the BIG thing here, I can’t believe how incredible they were to work with on the business side of things as well. They were helpful in picking a location for engagement photos and what to wear, they helped so much with working out a day of timeline and any other details for the day, and then after they were so patient and compassionate when our final check got stuck in the mail and worked with us every step of the way. Not only would I use Phillip and Heather again for my wedding day, I’m actively looking for reasons we may need photos taken again! I would recommend them a thousand times over.

nd they had him laughing, smiling, and relaxed during the photos of us together and the ones of him alone. I can honestly say the photos they produced are my favorite of any shoot I have ever been a part of (I model and have done a lot of wedding style shoots through the years). When we met Phillip and Heather through the styled shoot, we had already booked a photographer for our actual wedding in Sonoma in May 2021 (we were a covid wedding and original date was supposed to be April 2020). Our wedding finally happened, we got our photos back from the photographer we booked out there and while they’re beautiful, they don’t compare to what Phillip and Heather created during our styled shoot together. The creative eye and direction they give is what gets the incredible shots that make your jaw drop, and that is something that sets them apart tremendously. I was wishing SO bad that we had them as our photographers for our big day. So much so, that I’ve asked them to do a redo shoot for us in my gown and his tux so we can recreate the big day as much as possible and have the beautiful pictures they create to keep forever!! I just love them so much and cannot recommend them enough. We laughed until we cried a few times while we were together and created magic in between. They’re great people and the perfect duo. Anyone would be lucky to work with them. Pheather, y’all are the best <3

ey are creative, artistic and just damn good at what they do. They craft the most unique pictures. They are everything you would want your wedding photographers to be. They are reliable, attentive, prompt, detailed, thorough, fun, exact, responsive...I could go on and on. Not to mention that they had our wedding photos back to us within a WEEK of getting married. I mean seriously, that's not going to happen with anyone else. The pictures were beautiful! So much more than we ever hoped for. They "moved around" without us ever knowing they were there. And that's exactly how you want your photographer to be. You want them there getting all the shots without knowing they're there. To say that we were blown away by them is an understatement!

most precious moments. When you work with Heather and Phillip, you gain not only stunning photos, but new friends. They will share stories with you and laugh with you all while making you feel comfortable in front of a camera. You will never forget the experience you'll have from getting to know them and receiving the most elegant photographs for your engagement or wedding. From their romantic, gothic photography style to their endless creative talent, Pheather is the best photography duo you'll meet.

I wanted capturing my wedding day and that was the best decision I made! They're work is edgy, creative, and unique to each wedding. From beginning to end both Heather and Philip were so helpful with everything; making the whole process fun and easy. From trekking through the woods with us, to helping reschedule events to fit everything in! Not only did they perfectly capture the feeling of our wedding but also got so many amazing, fun photos of everyone dancing and having a great time! I also cannot express enough how much of a benefit it is to have two photographers. You get so many more photos in a shorter amount of time, along with getting two different angles of everything! Not to mention that they get the photos back to you extremely fast; they had them done before we even got back from our honeymoon! I cannot imagine the day without them both, my only regret is that we didn’t have them there longer!

ok like we knew what we were doing. They made us feel so comfortable, and they captured every detail perfectly. I am in awe of how amazing our engagement photos and our wedding photos turned out, I was truly blown away by the end result! The thing I love the most is that my photos look like no one else's... what I mean by that is they captured everything with an artistic point of view. I recommend you book this amazing duo as soon as possible, you will not be disappointed!!

E shines through their photos. They truly want your day to be as magical as you plan for it to be and make that goal so easy! We had such a fun time with them & wish we lived closer so we could hangout with them more than just the one day we got HA! Their fluidity with each other while behind camera is most definitely telepathic! IT WAS INCREDIBLE! Every single moment was captured with so much emotion and so many angles, you will find yourself going through them for hours and hours like I did in continuous amazement. The turn around time of our photos was mind blowing considering the creativity and love so perfectly executed! & SOOO many of them at that! They’re a truly talented husband wife duo and I can’t wait to work with them again! You’re really missing out if you turn your head from these guys!

e getting our pictures taken. On our wedding day it truly felt like we had 2 good friends taking photos of us and they really understood the overall vision I wanted for my wedding photos. We also received many compliments from our weddings guests about how nice, friendly, organized and professional Heather and Philip were on our wedding day. Heather and Philip are the most genuine, kind and caring photographers a bride could ever ask for. They truly go above and beyond to capture your most special moments on your big day and have a special gift of making you feel like a friend of theirs from the moment you meet them. Also not to mention they got all of our wedding photos back to us within a week of our wedding! I cant recommend them enough!

made for such a wonderful experience on our big day. Their photos are absolutely stunning and every time I look at them I see an added layer of detail or emotion that perfectly captures how much joy and fun we had at our wedding. I had done a TON of research before choosing them for our wedding, and I absolutely *cannot* recommend them enough.

ul pictures. They did an amazing job, I was beyond happy and in awe of so many beautiful pictures to choose from. They are the most unique and best photographers I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting and working with.

ather and Philip we connected--it felt like meeting new friends. If you are getting ready for your wedding, you WANT people like Heather and Philip around you on your wedding day. They are kind, creative, organized, and so enjoyable to be around. As our photographers, they were with us all day, and they brought a joyful steadiness to the day that we needed, as well as making sure we savored each precious moment while they captured it on camera. My now husband and I aren't super comfortable in front of a camera, but Heather and Phillip gave great posing directions, and during our shoots we were laughing together and just having so much fun. They also helped plan the schedule for the wedding day, at no extra charge, and kept us on that schedule the day of the wedding. Every photo they capture and edit is stunning, and I cannot recommend Applehead Photography enough!

locations for us to shoot in, and really just caught the whole vibe of the day. If you're looking for the most unique photos you've ever seen, don't think- book. I hope Eric and I get to work with them both again soon. PRE-WEDDING REVIEW: Let me just tell you- if you’re thinking about booking with Pheather, stop thinking and just do it. We had the absolute pleasure of hanging with them for our engagement photos and the entire experience was a dream. Both my fiancé and I have never really taken formal pictures and were pretty nervous, but Phillip and Heather made us laugh, directed us, and overall made us feel totally natural/comfortable. We shot photos in the Oakland Cemetary, and they fully brought my “spooky romantic” vision to life. I’m so obsessed with how our photos turned out, they caught our whole vibe, and every time I get to show them to people- it’s like seeing them again for the first time. I wish my wedding wasn’t so far away, because I’m so excited to spend time with them again!

r the wedding next year! Seriously, book them. I cannot express enough how blown away I am with the quality. Update 09/17/22: We just finished our wedding with Heather and Philip. They are incredible! They captured our day so perfectly and the quality of their work is unmatched. They’re wonderful people, their style is beautiful, and they are a lot of fun to work with. They’re organized, great with communication, and dependable. If you’re looking for photos that will blow you away you’ve found the right photographers here. Seriously, thank you Pheather. You’ve captured our day even better then I could have imagined and created photos we will cherish for the rest of our lives.

hole day laughing during our wedding and our bridal photos afterwards! They are the BEST at dark + moody photos and we couldn’t have been happier! We have recommended them to all of our friends also planning weddings!

than 20 people and moved it to Gatlinburg and I told my husband I absolute refused to give up Pheather as our photographers. Thankfully they were able to travel to Gatlinburg and the pictures were a dream come true. Our pictures look similar to a stylized shoot which is what I was hoping for since my husband and I wanted ones that looked more like artwork than traditional wedding photos and Pheather absolutely delivered. They made us laugh the whole time and seemed to have the perfect thing to say when I got stressed and started to get overwhelmed during group photos. Their turn around time for photos is insanely fast and I was so thankful to not have to wait multiple months to get my photos like so many of my friends have had to do. I cannot recommend them enough and they deserve more than 5 stars!

r photos and you know they exemplify quality. Because of this, I honestly was not expecting to have as many unique, posed shots as we ended up with, in addition to candid reception shots, group shots, details, and everything else. I seriously don’t know how they did it. Every single photo is absolutely incredible. Not only can they pose, compose, and edit in a beautifully artistic way, they also are insanely talented candid photographers and know how to capture moments and expressions, which as a photographer, can be REALLY hard to do. They got it all. I can’t believe the number of photos they turned over to us, in LESS than two weeks (ten days, to be exact), and not just that, but the quality of everything and the variety, it’s just amazing. We got so many unique posed shots, each one is absolutely stunning and something we would hang on our wall. They got details of EVERYTHING, so even though we were too busy to remember what our cake even looked like, they got several shots of it and every other detail of the day. They asked us what group photos we wanted and got those for us, they work SUPER fast and the results are perfect. Philip worked with me and my groomsmen to make some really special group shots that are the absolute coolest photos I’ve ever been a part of. They did our first look, but kept it really low key, which is how we wanted it. They just totally got us and our style. On our day-after photo shoot, they brought the drone along and made some really cool aerial shots and over the water shots. I just can’t say enough about how much effort they put in and how far they went to make our photos truly special. It is obvious that they care so much about their clients and their craft. They are simply the best at what they do, and you can tell they really love doing it. As if all this wasn’t enough, they are genuinely kind, funny, and fun people to have around on your special day. We honestly had so much fun just hanging out with them, we were instant friends. They work in such a relaxed, but efficient way. They aren’t the kind of photographers that are going to add to your stress, In fact, they do very much the opposite and help you enjoy your day. If you’re looking for an amazingly talented, artistic team of photographers to capture your wedding day, with impeccable quality and style, you won’t find any better than Philip and Heather. They were truly a pleasure to work with, and the photos exceeded our wildest expectations. Thank you guys!!!

amily members completey comfortable and at ease. I had multiple compliments afterwards from our family with how great they were. I can't wait to see the final product - but have complete confidence from all of their other work I have seen. I would HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend them!

ents captured. They’re so encouraging and really support any unique vibes. Working with them was more like playing, which is exactly what my husband and I wanted. We also got incredible candid shots of us and our guests-which is great because we weren't able to spend extended periods of time with our guests and now we have evidence everyone had a great time!

hem to anyone looking for great wedding pitcures. They were willing to accommodate everything we wanted and had some cool ideas of their own too. They captured our wedding perfectly.

really helped to make the pictures go by faster and smoother. They are a great team!

dered. Having two photographers was an invaluable bonus, capturing some amazing candid moments in addition to the poses. They were professional, considerate, and FUN! They were quick to respond to any questions, and we had our final pictures within days. As artists, I feel they were as excited about the final product as we were. Philip and Heather truly captured each precious moment of that day… I can’t recommend them highly enough!

ication was great and they made sure to incorporate everything we wanted! We just finished our 3rd shoot with them. I would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone
