Phil was an incredible photographer to work with! In the days leading up to our wedding, he made sure we had a clear plan to capture all the photos we wanted, even with the tight schedule that weddings often have. He timely managed everything from getting ready photos to church service shots, family photos after the ceremony, our couples' photos at a bar (outdoor) on the way to the reception, and moments during the reception itself.
Phil’s organization and efficiency was amazing. He ensured that no important moment was missed and he gave lots of suggestions during our planning phase on how to organize things better. As someone who rarely has my photos taken and often feels awkward in front of the camera, I was initially nervous about the photography aspect of the wedding. However, the photo session before the ceremony was such a calming experience that it helped settle my nerves!
We received preview photos the very next day, and they were absolutely stunning. I’m so excited to see the rest of them!
We highly recommend Phil as a wedding photographer. His talent for capturing the essence of special moments is unparalleled, making him an ideal choice for your big day. Phil has a remarkable ability to blend into the background while still being present to seize every important moment, from intimate glances to grand celebrations.
Phil was great to work with. Very professional and has a calm demeanor. He is good at giving directions for poses and the end product of the photos speaks for itself. His communication was timely. We are very pleased with the work he did capturing our special day.
Hiring Phil was the best decision we made. He was so professional and easy-going and made sure we felt comfortable on our day. My husband and I don't have much experience taking professional photos together, but Phil made it feel so easy and relaxed. Phil went with the flow throughout our entire day. There were so many unexpected pictures that our family asked for, and our timeline was completely forgotten about but not once did he seem annoyed or bothered by it. Our sneak peek photos are everything we hoped for. Our guests also pointed out that Phil was very discreet when taking his photos. He never got in the way of the action. Do yourself a favor and make sure you hire the best photographer in central Wisconsin.
We found Phil through Zola. Right off the bat Phil was very responsive and professional. I really appreciated the guide he helped with ahead of our wedding so that we could ensure we got all the photos we wanted on our big day. Phil arrived on time the day of the wedding, worked great with our videographer and even stayed later than we originally asked him to. Phil's photos from our wedding were stunning and the turn around time was quick. We are so lucky we found Phil and so glad he was able to capture our big day. Thank you, Phil!
We really enjoyed working with Phil as our wedding photographer! He has a very creative eye and the quality of our pictures was excellent. He is a very genuine person and very professional to work with. As someone who doesn't generally love getting my picture taken, he knows how to make you feel comfortable. Thanks Phil for capturing all the special moments of our day!
If you are looking for the perfect photographer, Phil is your guy! He is such a fun and genuine person on top of the wonderful work he does! He captured our engagement and wedding photos and when I say perfect, I mean it! Looking at all of our photos I can’t help but smile and laugh as I reflect on how amazing our big day was! Phil, thank you so much for once again doing an amazing job and can’t wait to work with you in the future!!!!
If you and your significant other are looking for that perfect photographer to capture your big day, look no more. My husband and I were lucky enough to find Phil Koehler through a friend that had hired him for her wedding. Let me tell you, his portfolio is stunning. The pictures he had captured for my friend's wedding were beautiful and looking at his other work is breath taking. After seeing his work, I knew he would be my number 1 pick for my wedding. He was very sincere and his communication with us was top notch. Any time we had a question, needed help with organizing or were even nervous about the pictures, he was right there to make sure we were happy and comfortable. He is by far a kind and very respectful person and super professional. If my husband and I had to do it all over again, we would always choose Phil hands down!!!
My husband and I used Phil Koehler Photography for both our engagement photos and wedding photos. We could not have found anyone better. Phil was AMAZING to work with! Phil is very professional. He was very prompt in his responses and he was always on time. He has an easy personality to get along with, which makes your session go very smoothly. I highly recommend using Phil Koehler Photography and we will definitely use him in the future for more shoots!
Thank you for an amazing experience Phil!! We can't wait to work for you in the future!
Phil did my senior year photos, my engagement and my wedding photos! He is very friendly and easy to work with and the pictures always come out amazing. I highly recommend!
Professionalism: 11/10 - Phil was so easy to work with on photos and scheduling. He went above and beyond to make sure we captured the content we wanted for engagement photos + the wedding.
Communication: Very timely with his responses, and always helpful! Between emails, texting, and payments he was a great communicator with us.
Quality of Service + Value: 11/10 - loved working with Phil and his wife! We will definitely be using him for holiday photos/family photos going forward too. I could not be happier with the service and photos we received as a result. We LOVED working with them!!
Phil was super organized, professional and kind! His photos were amazing and he was so nice to work with. He had everything down and always sent email reminders before I could even think of checking in with him! I cannot reccomend him enough!!
Phil was great to work with! We talked about some details prior to the wedding, that he remembered the day of the wedding that I didn't 😁. He made us complete comfortable and did an amazing job. He also helped to keep us on track so we didn't miss anything.
Phil was great to work with on our wedding day! He and his wife Jess both where there to take photos, and even though Jess was only supposed to stay until 7pm, she stayed until 9pm! Both Phil and Jess both where the only one of our vendors to come find us at the end of the night to say goodbye and thank you, which I thought was amazing! They even said goodbye to my parents. Phil's pictures are clear and well edited, and don't have any over heavy filters. He also was game to walk with us to different picture spots once the ceremony was over. Will reccomend him for any wedding! He was great!
We are so glad that we chose Phil to capture our special day! He took some really amazing photos and we couldn’t be happier with the results. Phil had a big hand in making our day go so smoothly and he was such a joy to work with. His communication throughout the whole process was great and he always responded in a timely fashion.
I can't say enough good things about Phil. When looking for a wedding photographer, I came upon his website and it was filled with pictured that really captured the personality of the couples he photographed so I knew he would be perfect.
On the day of the wedding, he and his wife, Jesse, showed up a half hour early to get a feel for the place. They were so kind! They made everyone feel at ease. It was as if they were a part of our family-- that is how easy it is to be around them.
My husband and I were obviously nervous. We spent about 15 minutes doing first look photos with just Phil and his wife and they completely helped to calm our nerves. They were jovial, encouraging, and supportive.
The night after our wedding we decided one of our favorite parts of our wedding day was our time with Phil and Jesse. We had about 45 minutes with them after the ceremony, just us four, and it was so nice to slow down and enjoy our time together.
If you are on the fence about booking Phil - BOOK HIM! I promise you won't be disappointed. In addition to his amazing and calm presence, his pictures were OUTSTANDING!
Phil and his wife Jess were an absolute dream to work with for our wedding!!
They did an amazing job and made everyone feel great and comfortable! Phil made sure to remember everyone's names, who they were and worked on making sure we all felt our best!
I would recommend them over and over again to anyone who is looking for a great photographer, because they really do care not only about you but everyone who is important to you as well.
I am so lucky to have had them there to capture our wedding day, the photos they had taken make me feel like I can relive my wedding day over and over again!
My wife and I cannot speak higher about Phil and his unmatched photography skills!! We hired Phil to shoot our engagement photos, but we had him photograph our wedding as well because we were so thrilled with how all of the photos came out! And boy did he deliver. His professionalism and skill set led to some amazing pictures, but his demeanor and friendliness were what really made the wedding day so great for us. He made the entire day so fun and effortless for two people who normally aren’t very comfortable with professional photo sessions. If you live in Wisconsin, and don’t hire Phil as the photographer for your wedding, you’re doing it wrong! Thanks Phil!
Phil was absolutely amazing! He captured every moment perfectly!
He was professional, friendly and genuine in every way. You will not be disappointed hiring him to capture your special day!
Phil Koehler Photography! Where to even start! Phil and Jess were so amazing and efficient in everything they did for our day! From taking photos, to fixing my train, and getting my stubborn mom to smile!! I felt utterly comfortable with Phil from the moment we met! He accommodated meeting before the wedding and was prompt to getting back to me about any info we needed. He captured a lifetime of memories that I can relive every moment I look at these photos! The attention to detail and some of the moments that were captured! I cant explain or put into words how grateful we are for Phil and Jess! I will always recommend Phil Koehler Photography to anyone and everyone! You won't be disappointed booking him! Some pictures of our day!:)
We cannot speak highly enough about our experience with Phil and his wife Jess for our wedding photos! Phil was so professional and easy to work with throughout the process. Communication was prompt and effective. On wedding day, they were so efficient with directing the group to get all the photos we wanted in a timely manner. They are extremely creative and talented, utilizing natural lighting and different scenery within our venue. We received our photos very promptly and absolutely love how they turned out. Many of our guests and family members have even complimented our photographer, saying how efficient, friendly, and creative he was. Phil has our highest recommendation!
Phil was incredible from initial phone call to the day of our wedding. Great communication over the entire planning process. He made accommodations to do our engagement photos at my family farm and provided the photos through a portal very fast. The months leading up to the special day we had many conversations about his roll helping keep to a schedule and making sure everyone what where they needed to be and when. I didn’t even know he was around and he somehow captured all the incredible moments.
The photo quality is beyond expectation and I 10/10 recommend his services.
Phil did a fabulous job on our wedding photos! He was very knowledgeable, professional, and fun at the same time! We love every photo he took. He met with us multiple times before our wedding day. He got our wedding album to us in a timely manner after our big day and gave us a sneak peek within a couple days after. He captured the day perfectly! We loved his style and willingness to travel wherever needed. His price point was great too! We would 10/10 recommend him to anyone!
Phil and his wife Jess are both amazing photographers, and wonderful to work with. We booked them for both wedding and engagement photos, and they are friendly, professional, and easy to work with. The photos are stunning, and came back in a very timely manner. We couldn’t be happier with the service, and recommend them 100%. Next time we want family photos, we’ll be coming to Phil!
Phil and his wife Jess were an absolute pleasure to work with. Phil did a wonderful job making us feel comfortable from the start of our engagement session. We received our photos in a very timely manner. Our wedding day was perfect, Phil and Jess did a wonderful job working side by side with our videographer while capturing all the important moments for us. We received our sneak peek a few days after the wedding and can not want to see the rest!
Phil is by far the best photographer we could have picked for our wedding! He’s extremely talented and so easy to work with! My husband is a tough man to crack and he loved working with Phil! (Phil got him to smile! LOL) He made getting our pictures taken fun! 10/10!
When we got engaged, I had been searching for photographers. Facebook starting showing me many photographers and Phil's page caught my eye. He seemed like he had fun with the photo shoots and I enjoyed that he took selfies with the couples.
My first phone contact with Phil was him getting to know us as a couple which I really enjoyed. Phil was professional and responsive. His contract was easy to read.
I was beyond pleased with the photos. When we got our photos back it was like I was reliving the day all over again. There were moments that I didn't get to be a part of and moments that I didn't even know happened, but his photos allowed me to experience it.
There were poses that he suggested where I felt so silly, but those ended up being my favorite photos! I'm so glad I trusted the process. My wedding party also had nothing but amazing things to say about Phil as they had a lot of fun with him. My wedding party enjoyed how he took the time to learn everyone's name so he could properly place people. It was a nice touch.
I hope to use Phil again and I would highly recommend for your special day!
UNBELIEVABLE! There are not enough words to express our gratitude to Phil and his art at photographing our wedding. He is punctual, attentive and reassuring every single step of the way. From the communication ahead of time to ensure the timeline flows perfectly to the day of in wrangling six junior bridesmaids for incredible photos. Our guests kept telling us how wonderful he was and how great of a job he did and we could not agree more.
Phil arrived early to the venue to take Reception/Ceremony space pictures before meeting me at my home for "getting ready" photos. This was something I hadn't even asked of him and I'm so grateful he took it upon himself to give us these memories. I'm also certain he stayed beyond our agreed upon time to make sure we got our cake cutting and first dance in. Truly appreciate this above-and-beyond care he gifted to us.
We received our photos a week ahead of schedule and they are STUNNING! I have never felt comfortable in front of a camera and neither has my husband. But Phil made everything feel so effortless and gave us the confidence to "just be". I literally cried when I opened our email attachment and scrolled through the hundreds of photos. We truly could not be happier and now to select favorites from the many many gorgeous shots.
Thank you Phil! We are truly honored to have had you capture our special day.
Phil was amazing. He showed up early and got right down to it. He called a few times before the wedding and gave us even great ideas for the reception itself.
He had everyone smiling and by the end of the night everyone knew him and made a connection! He was just awesome! So kind and pleasant and didn't make you feel uncomfortable. We will 150% work with him in the future !!!!
Phil and Jess were an absolute dream to work with. My husband and I have never had professional pictures taken and we were nervous about it. Phil was so kind and answered all of our questions.
They made us feel comfortable and we had so much fun during our sessions, and that translated into our photos.
Not only did we have fun and get great classic wedding photos of all of our guests, but they had a wonderful eye for getting those artistic original shots too.
Every single photo was absolutely stunning and we couldn’t be more happy.
100% will recommend these two to anyone!
Phil and Jess photographed our wedding on 9/4/21. We could not have asked for more wonderful photographers! They were very helpful throughout the process: asking us the right questions and planning to make our day go as smooth as possible. They customized the hours to fit our needs, traveled to the location, and were very easy to communicate with. They were extremely reasonably priced, especially considering how above and beyond their service was! Phil and Jess had our photos ready within a mere two weeks and they are absolutely gorgeous! They captured all the feelings of our day. We definitely recommend Phil Koehler Photography for any of your photography needs!
We found Phil in an internet search for wedding photographers back in the fall of 2019. His reviews were great, and we loved what we saw of his work. Fast forward through two postponements because of COVID to July 2021. Phil and Jessica were an absolute dream to work with. They had asked in advance what special relatives or groupings we wanted to make sure they photographed. They captured every single request and so much more. They had some fabulous ideas for settings, natural poses, and the lighting they captured was breathtaking. Phil came through with 581 photos that we were so thrilled with. We are having a hard time deleting any of them! It's going to be a very large wedding album...We can't recommend Phil enough - professional through and through, and with a gift of space and lighting you just can't teach.
You ask and Phil definitely delivers! From the beginning, Phil was quick with responding and very professional. Like many, we have the perfect pictures in mind with certain poses that we thought we could only find on our dream Pinterest boards. Phil exceeded our expectations and did NOT disappoint. He made my fiance and I really comfortable in front of the camera and a great guy to chat with along the way. Lastly, Phil was so speedy at editing your photos and sending the online gallery. Will definitely recommend!
Phil was absolutely amazing. I had a destination wedding so I had to pick out a lot of things remotely and was not always able to meet people before deciding on them. I had a gut feeling from the start with Phil that he was going to be perfect. He was incredibly fast at communicating with me and helped answer some questions I had about any and everything. I did have a smaller wedding but my family does have big personalities and he handled everyone so well. He did a great job coming up with poses and helping us pose. He had a great eye for finding picture worthy moments. I would recommend Phil to any and everyone. He was such a pleasure to work with and deserves a successful and lasting career as a photographer.
What a find! Phil and Jess were a BLAST to work with. Always smiling and making everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera. Phil was very responsive via email and would reach out with a phone call whenever we needed it. We got a few sneak peek photos mere days after the wedding and LOVE what we have seen so far. Highly recommend Phil Koehler Photography!! Phil and Jess thank you for everything.
Just had my wedding photos done by Phil. They turned out even more perfect than I could have imagines and he got them back to us so fast. He was very responsive and helpful about everything and I would highly recommended him.
Phil Koehler Photography delivered beyond our expectations! We had a small intimate ceremony, and Phil was able to capture the emotions of our day perfectly! Looking through the photos was definitely reliving the day. We also had a bit of a crazy morning, with an outdoor wedding and a thunderstorm pending, but Phil was the best to work with! He was calm and flexible with helping us get everything in before the rain! All of my bridesmaids said they loved him. Phil created poses that were unique and stunning - many people have mentioned that our photos look like they could be in a magazine! The colors in our photos are vibrant and the posed shots of our group stand out beautifully against the backdrop. He took lots of casual shots of the events throughout the day, and everyone looks great in all! We could not be happier with how everything turned out!
Phil & Jess were phenomenal wedding photographers! They captured all of the guests (even the dogs!) and the emotion on our faces throughout the day! My family can't stop talk about how amazing the photos are! I would highly recommend them to anyone!
I cannot CANNOT recommend Phil enough!!! We found Phil on Wedding Wire looking for a good, but affordable, photographer, and Phil proved himself 10 times over. My husband and I’s wedding day was unusually hot for an early June wedding in Wisconsin, but Phil and his wife, Jess, didn’t miss a beat! Phil was taking photos and adjusting people, Jess was adjusting me, my dress, my veil, my flowers, you name it! These two went above and beyond what typical photographers should do and they are a great team together and a great duo to work with! Not only did they capture images that will bring back memories for years to come, but I know my husband and I for sure will remember their skills and their dedication to making our wedding day the best! If I ever need professional photography, I have Phil and Jess on speed dial! Thank you again! We will keep in touch!
Thank you to Phil and Jess for an amazing job while keeping our crazy wedding party and families in line. You made everything seem effortless and fun!
Phil is an awesome photographer to work with. He did a fantastic job on my wedding photos.
A really great experience! Phil and his wife did an amazing job with our engagement and wedding photos. I cannot say enough good things about them! Fun, professional, creative, and made our photographs better than we could have imagined. If you need any photography work, look no further. They truly are the best at what they do.
My husband and I worked with Phil and his wife for our engagement and wedding photos and could not have been happier with our experience and the quality of our photos! Phil was great at communicating with quick responses and was very accommodating with planning photos since we live out of town and by also agreeing to add on video taping our wedding ceremony a week before the wedding. He also was creative to come up with location and picture ideas that turned out great. We received our pictures and video quickly and were more than please with the quality. Phil and his wife were very nice and easy to get along with; we had a lot of fun working with them and would recommend Phil Koehler Photography to everyone!
Phil did such an amazing job at capturing the love and happiness in our wedding photos! We were lucky enough to have Jess able to assist on our wedding day as well. They are super nice and patient people, and they made it so easy and stress free! I 100% recommend Phil Koehler Photography - I’m blown away by the photos we got back!
We would highly recommend Phil Koehler Photography! He is great about communicating and is quick to respond. Something else we really appreciated about him is that Phil takes the time to honestly get to know you and understand what style and types of photos you would like. We first hired him on to do our engagement pictures in the frigid month of February during which he was very professional and a pleasure to work with. He was very quick in editing and getting us our engagement pictures. Not only was he fast at getting us our pictures but the quality was outstanding! We also hired Phil and Jess to do our wedding photos. The pictures they took fully captured our wedding and were absolutely astonishing! While we are not ones to enjoy being photographed, Phil and Jess were a delight to work with and somehow made the photographs one of the best parts of our day! We even had people from our wedding come up to tell us how great of a job they did and what a pleasure they were to work with. We already have Phil and Jess booked for our one year vow renewal! Can't wait to work with them again!
Phil and his wife Jess did an amazing job with our photos for our wedding. They made it so easy to get all the shots we wanted and had lots of great suggestions for photos we didn’t even think of, but are so happy to have now. They’re energetic and funny personalities had my husband and I and our wedding party laughing at every moment which made for some awesome natural, organic photos that turned out perfect! As someone who doesn’t always look great in photos that are staged with a forced smile, these photos will be ones that I will love for years and years to come! I am so happy with how everything turned out. Our guests loved them (Phil and Jess) and we got so many compliments on all of our beautiful pictures. Thank you Phil and Jess for making our day even more fun and special!
Phil and his wife were amazing, they took their time with photographing our wedding. Turn around time to view our pictures digitally was fantastic. Thank you so much!!!
Phil and Jess Koehler did an amazing job with our engagement and wedding photos. He was easy to work with and has a great eye for photography. The photos we recieved capture not only the great moments of our day in unique ways, but our connection as a couple and the emotions of everyone there with us. We can't rave enough about his work!
Phil was very quick to respond to emails and texts throughout the process, even during the difficult time with Covid happening. I loved his natural take on the photos he captured, which is what I was looking for. The prices was very reasonable compared to other professionals in the area, and he was able to travel to our location. He is very down to earth and easy to work with. He will ask if there's any poses or certain photos you're looking for, and will get those covered for you. Definitely recommend!
Phil did an amazing job with our wedding photos. We LOVE our photos & he got them back to us so quickly! He was also very responsive and flexible with all the changes covid-19 brought. Creative, thoughtful, and very professional. Would recommend him to anyone!!
I saw Phil's work via a coworker and I felt he really captured unique moments for their wedding. Although we gave him almost no parameters, and a very tight evening wedding timeline, he exceeded our expectations on our wedding. Pictures blew us away. On top of that, we felt he was extremely affordable.
Phil was excellent! He artistically used the beauty of the facility to create original, naturally posed photos. From the family groups to the guest candids, he captured the joy of the day!
Phil was amazing to work with. Super patient and flexible working with us as we planned a wedding from states away, super accommodating, and got amazing shots at our wedding! He even got along great with our families right before the ceremony. 10/10: would Phil again.
Phil Koehler Photography did our wedding and I can't say enough good about everything he did that day. His ideas for pictures were awesome. He fit in like one of the family and the end result was beautiful. It was kind of a last minute thing because we were getting married at the courthouse but I am so glad he was available and was able to provide his unmatched skills and professionalism to make our special day the best day ever. If you are looking for a photographer, it's a no brainer - call Phil!!
