About

Applehead Photography and Design's combination of directing and documenting provides their clients with photos of raw emotions and interactions, and allows them to truly get to know each and every person they photograph. It's pretty awkward to have your photo taken by a couple of strangers, but their hope is that by the end of the day, you feel like you had your photos taken by a pair of old friends. To them, it's not just about the end product you receive – it's about the adventure and the memories they created in order to do so.

With Applehead Photography and Design, you receive:

  • Pheather (Philip + Heather): they spend 24/7 with each other so they know each other almost better than they know themselves. That translates into the work they do and the art they make. They are also both lead photographers, no second shooters here
  • Your blemishes will always be edited because they don't think there's any other acceptable way.
  • Fast turnaround time: they usually get their client's photos back to them within 1-2 weeks (and that's with your blemishes removed! Yes, they have no life!)
  • Photos that will be cherished for their timelessness, authenticity, and drama.

Don’t regret NOT choosing Pheather!

Where to even begin!?! Philip and Heather have the biggest hearts out of any photographer we’ve ever worked with AND their creativity is astonishing! I highly doubt it could get any better than these two! Their passion for photography AND PEOPLE shines through their photos. They truly want your day to be as magical as you plan for it to be and make that goal so easy! We had such a fun time with them & wish we lived closer so we could hangout with them more than just the one day we got HA! Their fluidity with each other while behind camera is most definitely telepathic! IT WAS INCREDIBLE! Every single moment was captured with so much emotion and so many angles, you will find yourself going through them for hours and hours like I did in continuous amazement. The turn around time of our photos was mind blowing considering the creativity and love so perfectly executed! & SOOO many of them at that! They’re a truly talented husband wife duo and I can’t wait to work with them again! You’re really missing out if you turn your head from these guys!

I love applehead

One of the last decisions my husband and I were on the fence about was hiring a videographer, and it was WORTH IT! They make an amazing duo and I can’t imagine not having these memories to look back on! They were of course super communicative and professional while planning/organizing, but also super fun on the day of!! I feel like there was the perfect mix of hyping us up when we needed it, but also blending into the background for candid moments. Our photographer was over the moon about working with them, they’re really fabulous working with vendors and I only received overwhelmingly positive feedback. I particularly appreciated how they really wanted to get to know us + the vibe we wanted for our wedding. I cannot recommend them enough and I can’t overstate how much these videos mean to me. BOOK THEM!

Best wedding photographers ever!


My husband and I cannot say enough wonderful things about Applehead Photography and how they made not only our day special but also for the rest of time as we reminisce on it! The photography and videography were the most important aspects to me when booking our vendors since I knew these were the pieces we would have forever to look back at. Philip & Heather more than delivered in every way! From the moment we met at our engagement shoot, they felt more like friends and calmed our nerves. They not only put us at ease, but also effortlessly made it fun which definitely showed in the photos! We also got several compliments from guests at our wedding of how personable and great they were. During the day, they were on hand and ready to help out in any way whether it was driving my mom and I down the path to the venue when my mom accidentally handed her keys to someone else, helping bustle my dress, or keeping groomsmen in line (or maybe encouraging their weirdness which is even better haha).

The 90s home video style videography is so much fun for us because it felt more personal and captured everyone’s personalities perfectly. We loved how Pheather had a couple of video cameras that were passed around to friends to swap with people during the night so that even more intimate and true to life moments were captured. I also am still in awe of not only how quickly we got both the photos from our engagement shoot and the wedding photos/videos back, but how many there were and perfectly edited! My husband and I had decided last minute to take dance lessons for our first dance, but originally didn’t add it on to our videography package. I realized afterwards that we didn’t and no one had gotten a full video of it, but Philip saved the day by having the full footage anyway that we were able to add on post wedding to our package!

We highly recommend Applehead and would use them over and over again. Pheather is one of the coolest couples you will meet and have a blast hanging out with during your wedding day!

Our Wedding Was Perfect!

Our wedding was perfect and our amazing photographers were a huge reason why! The photos are fantastic and they emailed them to us three days after our ceremony - we were still on our honeymoon! They have an incredible style and an amazing work ethic but most importantly, they were so fun to work with and be around.

The best vendor you will hire for your big day

My (now) husband and I had the opportunity to do a styled shoot with Phillip and Heather in August 2020 and it was one of the most fun, creative, and easy-going photoshoots I've ever done. My husband is not comfortable in front of the camera, and they had him laughing, smiling, and relaxed during the photos of us together and the ones of him alone. I can honestly say the photos they produced are my favorite of any shoot I have ever been a part of (I model and have done a lot of wedding style shoots through the years). When we met Phillip and Heather through the styled shoot, we had already booked a photographer for our actual wedding in Sonoma in May 2021 (we were a covid wedding and original date was supposed to be April 2020). Our wedding finally happened, we got our photos back from the photographer we booked out there and while they’re beautiful, they don’t compare to what Phillip and Heather created during our styled shoot together. The creative eye and direction they give is what gets the incredible shots that make your jaw drop, and that is something that sets them apart tremendously. I was wishing SO bad that we had them as our photographers for our big day. So much so, that I asked them to do a redo shoot for us in my gown and his tux so we could recreate the big day as much as possible and have the beautiful pictures they create to keep forever!! And those pictures are my absolute favorites we’ve ever taken!! I just love them so much and cannot recommend them enough. We laughed until we cried a few times while we were together and created magic in between. They’re great people and the perfect duo. Anyone would be lucky to work with them. Pheather, y’all are the best

great people, great photos

Phillip and Heather were so relaxed and easygoing, it was like having an extra friend around on our wedding day. The amazing photos and the rapid turnaround on final photos were just bonus to the pleasure of having two more good people supporting us on an important day.

Literally my favorite people.

APD was the first vendor I hired when I first started planning my wedding 14 months ago. I had connected immediately with Heather and was so stoked to work with them! Pheather (heather and Philips nickname 🥰) made us laugh and made us feel so comfortable during our engagement shoot and the entire day of our wedding. It was like hanging out with old friends each time we saw them and their work is impeccable. I won’t be getting married ever again but I will definitely be going to APD for ALLLLL of my photography needs for the rest of my existence. Seriously. My favorite people.

You will regret not hiring them

Phillip and Heather are the photographers who will:
-Ask questions, get to know you, and fully grasp your vision
-Respond to emails and texts efficiently
-Direct you during your shoot but also collaborate with you to get the best photos unique to your vision
-Make you laugh like you’ve been lifelong friends
-Keep you calm even when you’re stressed and running behind on time
-Interact with your wedding guests and make them all love them too
-Help you with the world’s most heaviest and confusing dress bustle
-Grab food for you when you realize you haven’t eaten yet
-Have your wedding photos back to you within a WEEK during peak wedding season (October)
-Help with vendor recommendations, and day of timeline so you get perfect time for photos
-Create the most incredible, unique, and timeless photos you’ve ever seen
And honestly SO much more. They deserve more than 5 stars for everything they did for us. Our friends who are already married wish they could do their weddings over with Phillip and Heather. If you’ve come this far and found them, I really wouldn’t consider anyone else.
