I got married four days ago, and simply couldn't wait to write this overwhelmingly positive review about my, now friend, Phil who captured our wedding day more beautifully than we could have ever dreamed of. Phil is genuine, warm, funny, professional, and adaptable. Dealing with all the loud personalities of our bridal party and families is no easy feat, and Phil did it with such grace and enthusiasm that he truly became a part of the wedding. Taking hundreds (perhaps thousands) of photos over the course of a weekend can be overwhelming, but the way he was able to capture everyone to their fullest made for photos that we will always cherish. Not to mention his timeliness in getting them developed/edited. If you are getting married / engaged / have any event you need a photographer you would be the luckiest person to have Phil as your photographer, I know that I was
Phillip was actually the second photographer I hired. I was not in love with my original photographer and my planner suggest Phillip. After the initial meeting I knew I made the right decision! Phillip was absolutely amazing to work with! My husband and I rarely take photos so I was nervous they wouldn't turn out how I was hoping, but Phillip knew exactly what to do, with minimal effort on my husband or I's part lol. He captured our day magnificently. I can't stop looking at the photos!
Hiring Phillip as our photographer was hands down the best decision I made when it came to our wedding! My bridesmaids loved him and so did the guest! He captured candid shots but also made an effort to capture great posed shots of our guest, that make the memories of our day that much more special.
We love you Phillip!!
Phil is an amazing photographer. He was so friendly from the outset, arranging for us to speak and meet with him before our elopement City Hall wedding. On the day he was there before us, well prepared with where he wanted us to go to get the best shots. And made me feel totally at ease, which was just what I needed when I was feeling very nervous, and I’m pretty shy when being photographed. The photos are fantastic, we love them, they perfectly capture the fun and love of the day, as well as the New York backdrop. My new wife and I can’t recommend Phil highly enough!
We recently just got married in Hesperus Colorado and we were lucky enough to have Phillip as our wedding photographer! He is so incredible to work with and I highly recommend him! He’s always avaliable to talk if you need him or have any questions! He’s not like some photographers that just show up and takes pictures! He looked at our venue before the big day to get ideas for some great shots! He went above and beyond to create a bundle of memories my husband and I get to relive over and over! He’s defiantly not your typical photographer and the photos he captured were above our expectations! If you’re looking for somebody to capture the best day of your life.. he’s the one to call!!
Phil is hands down one of the BEST photographers and people I have ever met. I met him while he was shooting my best friend's wedding and he was so fun, professional, and perfect in every shot that I knew I wanted him to be our photographer when we got married too. He manages to capture the love, emotions, fun, and dancing all in a still shot. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts Phil, we will cherish these photos forever!
I cannot recommend Phil enough to anyone planning a special event. I hired him for engagement and wedding photos and it was the best decision I made. He is incredibly professional and prompt and kept everyone calm and relaxed (not an easy task!). He checked in with me regularly leading up to the big day and made sure the day itself ran smoothly. Phil has an extremely quick turnaround time with the photos (even giving you a sneak peak almost immediately) and his shots captured the day perfectly. My family and friends were raving about Phil and I hope to work with him again!
Phil is the person you want by your side on your wedding day. He is calm, professional, and joyful. He takes charge with direction when necessary, but otherwise stands back and captures things as they happen. His communication from first inquiry to receiving the finished product was kind, prompt, and professional.
The quality of the photos is unparalleled. Phil has a knack for capturing personal and intimate details. His photos are unique, creative, and beautiful. He is funny and charming, and all the wedding guests were wowed by his positive attitude, professionalism, and the photos he was letting us get a sneak peek of. I feel so lucky that we were able to find Phil and that he was available on our wedding day. I couldn’t have asked for a better collection of photos to remember our special day.
Hiring Phil was the best decision I made for my wedding. He has reasonable pricing and will customize a package to make sure you get what you want and need. In addition to wedding photos, we did an engagement session with Phil and had him take photos at our rehearsal dinner. Phil was prompt, professional, positive, and very easygoing in every situation, and make everyone feel calm and relaxed. Honestly we loved hanging out with him! But most importantly, my photos are GORGEOUS and I am thrilled with the images. Phil was open to all my requests for specific shots on my wedding day, and made the whole day feel seamless and easy -- from getting my dress hung up for photos to ensuring my veil looked right to quickly and efficiently getting all the family shots I wanted. He was a calming presence. We got our pictures so quickly and loved being able to look through them on our honeymoon right after the wedding. You have to buy a lot of stuff for a wedding, but the one thing you keep afterward is the photography -- so I think it's worth the effort to find a photographer you really click with who will deliver the kind of pictures you've dreamed of -- Phil is that guy!! My whole family was floored by his beautiful work and we will treasure the pictures forever. THANK YOU PHIL!!
Phillip was the THE BEST! As a fellow traveler, I was initially drawn to Phillip's work as he is a kindred spirit who loves to experience the world. But that is only where it starts. Throughout our engagement he was always touching base with us along the way, and made the effort to meet my mom when she was in town briefly last spring. He is enthusiastic about his work but also is a very calming presence. It was so easy to be in front of the camera with him. We'd had some engagement photos done with another photographer who we found well intentioned but too intense- and it made the experience a bit awkward and didn't feel natural. None of that was a concern with Phillip, he guided us easily through the day. We haven't seen all our photos yet, but the group we have seen are amazing and all of our guests have been commenting on how great he was! He captured many priceless moments and it is fun to revisit the memories of such an awesome day. We feel so fortunate he was our photographer!
Phillip is an incredibly friendly photographer. My parents loved him as did my bridal party!
He also has really fast turn around. He posted photos on Facebook immediately that everyone got to discuss the next morning at brunch, and had all of my photos hosted on a website before I even got back from my honeymoon.
I would definitely recommend Phillip to others looking for an easy to work with and quick photographer!
Phil photographed my wedding in CT last August and he was the BEST. Nearly every other aspect of the wedding fell through or changed last minute, and Phil was always a rock, a constant. He checked in regularly leading up to the big day, was prompt, relaxed, flexible and all smiles throughout. He customized his pricing and package for exactly what we wanted, and delivered above our expectations. Everyone loved having him around and still ask about him to this day. Our photos are beautiful, and they were delivered quickly. He even had an ipad ready with photos that was passed around day of! Everyone who attended the wedding still talks about what a wonderful day it was, and I can say without a doubt that Phil helped it all happen (he even tied the bow on my dress)! Phil goes above and beyond, and his party tricks are a huge hit. I hope we can work with him again!
