Alina Phillips Photography - Capturing the Intimate Moments that Matter Most

Hello, I’m Alina Phillips, and I’m so happy you’ve found my corner of the web! My journey into photography began with my grandfather and father, both talented photographers who passed down their passion for capturing life’s most special moments. I started out as a family photographer, but over time, I discovered that my true passion lies in elopements and micro-weddings.

In July 2022, I had my own micro-wedding, which completely transformed my perspective on weddings. At the time, there weren’t many photographers specializing in small, intimate ceremonies, so I had to navigate the entire planning process myself. This experience opened my eyes to the challenges that couples face when planning an intimate wedding, which is why I’m so passionate about helping others create their dream celebrations without the stress.

As a photographer who’s been in your shoes, I truly understand the importance of capturing your love story in a way that feels personal and meaningful. My mission is to provide not just stunning photos, but also the support and guidance you need throughout your planning journey. Whether you’re looking for help with vendor recommendations, venue selection, or just someone to offer a calm and reassuring presence on your big day, I’m here for you.

I specialize in intimate weddings, elopements, and micro-weddings, ensuring that your celebration is captured with the care, attention, and artistry it deserves. My goal is to create an unforgettable experience that’s authentic to you—focused on your love, your joy, and your unique story.

With me, you’ll get more than just beautiful photos—you’ll receive a partner who’s dedicated to making your wedding day as smooth and memorable as possible.

Beautiful pictures of our special day!

Alina was very organized since the beginning. She set up a meeting to ensure we were on the same page of what we wanted for our pictures. She even was flexible enough to meet again with my wedding coordinators so they were in the loop as well.

I’m pregnant and we were doing a combination of wedding/maternity photos and throughout the whole time we took pictures she made sure I was hydrated/fed and helped my husband and I with poses since we didn’t know what poses to do.

When the pictures were complete and she sent them to us they were absolutely breath taking. We still skim through them now lol Alina really knows how to capture the chemistry of a couple. Many thanks to you Alina!!!!

Couldn’t be happier

We couldn’t be happier with our engagement/family photos with Alina! Very responsive to all messages and questions from the start. She came up with the most beautiful location for our photos that we never would’ve thought of. During our sessions she made us super comfortable in front of the camera and had so many poses for us to try. She also was super engaging with our wild toddler. We’re still having a hard time selecting which photos to get framed, every one of them is beautiful!

Alina was amazing!

Alina exceeded all our expectations, not only as a photographer but as an incredible support throughout the day.

From the very first meeting, Alina’s warmth and professionalism was clear. She took the time to understand our vision and was genuinely invested in making our special day perfect.

On the wedding day, she arrived early, full of energy and positivity. Alina's photography skills speak for themselves—every shot was beautifully composed, capturing both the big moments and the little, candid interactions that made our day unique and especially our MVP, our dog. What set Alina apart was her presence. She went above and beyond by helping with my hair and traditional Korean outfit too, which was such a thoughtful touch and showed her commitment to making sure everything went smoothly.

If you’re looking for a photographer who delivers beautiful images and goes the extra mile to make your day stress-free and memorable, look no further than Alina. Thank you, Alina, for capturing our day so beautifully and for being such a wonderful part of it!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
