There’s a reason Brian Phillips Photography consistently receives top honors for wedding photography. The process of booking and planning with Brian was effortless and he genuinely...
cares about his client’s needs and requests. Our photos speak for themselves! Brain’s unique, journalistic style captures the special moments naturally and the only pictures we had to pose for were the ones we requested ourselves. If you need a photographer for your next event, Brian is the best and so great to work with.
My husband and I got married at the Boston Four Seasons and we were so fortunate to have Brian Phillips and fabulous his wife Maria share our special day with us. They captured all...
of the important moments thoroughly and artistically. They are such a talented and dynamic duo - I felt like they were everywhere yet nowhere at the same time. They were completely unobtrusive in their photography. Both of them were constantly surveying the background to find the perfect angle, lighting and pose for each and every shot. Added bonus: Maria also came to fix all of the ladies' hair and men's bow-ties between each photo.
Brian is extremely easy-going, flexible, responsive, and nice. Within hours of the wedding, he texted me a handful of shots so I could share them at our brunch the next day (and to hold me over until the professional photos - all 1500+ of them! - would be ready just a few weeks later). My husband and I were very pleased with his quick turnaround time and of course the overall quality of his work. His documentary style is exactly what we wanted; he captured all of the great candid/reaction shots while also mastering the formals.
The Red Sox World Series Championship parade was on our wedding day and Brian was happy to incorporate a few of the Sox signs/banners we had in the bridal suite (and later in the Public Garden for photos).
We also did an engagement shoot with Brian in the fall and I had been worried about the weather not holding up for outdoor shots. Brian came up with some great back up options and we ended up getting beautiful photos at the Boston Public Library. Brian spent an extra 45 minutes with us and even drove us to our next vendor appointment. He truly goes above and beyond!
I cannot say enough nice things about Brian and Maria. We loved you guys and are so happy we had an opportunity to work with you (and will definitely be hiring you again for family photos at some point!)
It was an absolute joy working with Brian Phillips. Not only is he extremely easy going and flexible, but he is a truly gifted and talented professional. His work is amazing!

My husband and I had a blast with Brian during our engagement session in Boston! We asked Brian to use the photos for a guest book, which we used the day of our wedding and it came out great!
On the actual wedding day, Brian and his wife Maria teamed up together to photograph our wedding. Maria is just as lovely as Brian and they really compliment each other well. I felt so comfortable around both of them!
The wedding photos turned out beautiful! I couldn't be happier with the end product and know that I will look back at these photos with such fond memories. I can't say enough positive things about Brian Phillips Photography and strongly recommend him and his work!
Brian was GREAT to work with from the very beginning. He truly stands out from all of the other photographers we’ve interviewed because of his easy-going personality, can-do attitu...
de, and his ability to listen to a client’s vision and deliver it flawlessly. More importantly, Brian is passionate about his craft, responsive, highly efficient, and detail-oriented. No details were spared in the amazing posed and photojournalistic photographs he produced for us!
My husband (admittedly camera shy like my father-in-law) was really impressed by Brian’s relaxed and non-invasive style. He was able direct all of the posed shots with great ease and conversely was able to capture candid moments naturally and beautifully.
Overall, we are blessed and lucky to have had Brian and his assistant Julie as an important part of our special day. They were fun and comfortable to be around, and we really appreciate being able to relive the cherished moments of the day for many years to come through the beautiful story their pictures tell.
It does not come as a surprise to me that Brian has received so many accolades for his work and we give him our highest recommendation!
