Incredibly talented! Also kind, thoughtful, attentive to details, efficient, managed large bridal party easily

Phil is incredibly talented and made our day go so smoothly! Phil managed our large bridal party so easily and had the perfect balance of giving directions and being kind. His directions, ideas, efficiency, and kindness were so helpful and appreciated throughout the entire day. He paid attention to details (ex, one piece of flying hair, lipstick on teeth, my dress’s train) he held my bouquet several times to help me while I adjusted my hair, veil, or shawl. Phil mapped out the timing of our day to make sure we got all the shots we wanted and was super efficient. He asked us many times if there were other shots we were imagining and he made them happen! Phil got us a preview of photos the day after our wedding and the whole album shortly after that! Our bridal party continually complimented him as well with how he managed everything and made each of us so comfortable! Please go with Phil (1LPhoto) for your wedding or other photography needs!!!

Incredible shots and amazing energy

When capturing our wedding, Phil did everything we could hope for, and then some. He was great to work with throughout the whole process and brought a relaxed and assuring energy that helped everyone feel at ease and take the best photos possible. We had some unexpected rain that forced us to improvise a new indoors location for our wedding party photos but between pre-planning and good improvisation skills, Phil seamlessly navigated the situation and the two of us were never worried.

We chose Phil mainly because his portfolio didn’t just feature the posed wedding photos, but also demonstrated a ton of dancing and other shots that we felt captured the energy and emotions of the day perfectly, and he absolutely delivered on that. Phil had a super quick turnaround in sending us a huge album of preview shots less than 24 hours after finishing shooting our event, and so many of those photos perfectly captured a moment that we loved from the wedding night - especially the reception speeches and the dance floor! Overall hiring Phil ticked all the boxes for us and it would be hard for us to imagine a better wedding photographer to capture what we wanted. If you are looking for a photographer, look no further and hire Phil! You will not regret it.

Wonderful Photographer

Hiring Phil was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Early on in the process I received the advice that while you don't have to like most of your wedding vendors personally you should make sure your photographer is someone who you enjoy because they will be around you the whole day. Phil is so incredibly thoughtful and easy to get along with on top of being a complete pro. He was EVERYWHERE at our wedding and captured our day in such a beautiful, fun and artisitic light. He helped us relax in front of the camera and was able to capture genuine moments that we will treasure forever. We cannot recommend Phil with 1L Photos enough!

Easy to work with and super accommodating

Phil was great! He was super laid back and I didn't feel like I needed to worry about a thing. He even accommodated my long list of group shots I wanted to be sure to capture. The candid photos taken of the ceremony and cocktail hour were just perfect. The last thing my now-husband wanted was a camera in his face the entire time and Phil respected that and was able to get great shots while barely being noticed (a good thing). Our only complaint was he wasn't available for the following day for our grand reception - we would have loved to have him!

Thorough, Fun, and fast!

Hiring Phil as our wedding photographer was one of our best choices for our wedding day! He captured so many details and moments that we missed until we saw the photos! He has a gentle touch with everyone, brides and children alike. You never feel like you’re being handled, but guided. He was amazing at keeping our schedule on track and still delivering with every photo! Not to mention we had our finished edited pictures in just over a week! Phil is hard working, knowledgeable, and most importantly kind and fun! He helped made our wedding day go smoothly! Thanks Phil!!

A True Pro!

Phil was absolutely a dream to work with on our wedding day. Not only were the pictures wonderful on the back end, but the experience was just perfect. He was very professional and efficient without pressuring us in any way. Our day was completely stress free! Also, when my grandmother died 3 days after our wedding, I was able to call Phil from my honeymoon and he expedited a handful of pictures from our day without question.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
