There are not enough words to describe how spectacular Philip was as our wedding photographer. I was able to book him early and Philip has been in constant communication. Because we were extremely uncomfortable in front of a camera, we wanted someone that we felt comfortable in front of and after interviewing some photographers, I knew Philip was the one. I was so lucky to have come across his Instagram page!
Philip and his second shooter, Nick (who was also spectacular) traveled from Charleston, SC to Richmond, VA to shoot our wedding. They were the most easy-going, friendly, funny and professional guys. We had our rehearsal dinner/welcome party and Philip was willing to shoot photos of everyone with both headshots and family photos. We opted for this instead of engagement photos and Philip was extremely accommodating and was also extremely flexible with scheduling.
On our actual wedding day, I think Philip was the reason we felt comfortable leading to the ceremony if not the entire night. He was able to direct us in how to pose for the photos and had an eye for the camera like no other. Him and his second shooter, Nick already explored our venue beforehand to identify areas for shooting. My husband is even more shy of the camera and he felt very comfortable with Philip's guidance. Philip took many, many photos and this is when I lead to the part where we receive both the sneak peeks and the entire wedding gallery...
WOW. When I say wow, Philip really outdid himself with all of our wedding photos. He not only made us look decent (lol) but was able to capture some of the most amazing moments including our family members, friends, and other attendees. We received some of the highest of compliments on our wedding photos. Not only that, we received compliments of our photographers in general and how friendly and easy-going they were. Philip and Nick worked diligently with smiles on their faces the entirety of the night.
I was a bit worried about not having a videographer for our wedding but when I saw Philip's photos of our wedding, all of the worries went away. We have the most beautiful wedding photos that we will continue to look back on for the rest of our lives. Our families and friends raved about Philip's work.
1000000% recommend. Philip's photography is worth every penny and I look forward to receiving my keepsake box from his own printing!
Philip, as if you haven't been told enough by your clients- thank you, thank you, thank you. We are so lucky to have snagged you as our photographer and have enjoyed working with you. We can't wait to recommend you to family and friends.
All the best,
Esther E & Chris L
