So Fun and Professional
Best photographers!! My husband and I have no idea what to do in front of a camera -let alone relax. Heather and Philip were amazing at striking us in our natural state and posed. They are so friendly, great at communicating, and take amazing photographs. My wedding guests also loved them.
If I had a downside to tell I would share it - but I truly do not.
I was hesitant because they were outside our budget - but so glad I did because they had a wedding package that ended up being perfect for us!-

One word: obsessed
Heather and Philip (Pheather) were my absolute, hands down favorite part of our wedding. They were the very first vendor we hired, because the moment I saw their work, I knew no other photographer could fit the vision I had like they could. Their stylization is "moody," but also elegant, deep, editorial, ingenious. They tell a story with their photography that simply can't be captured with the overexposed airiness of so many other wedding photographers. I feel like they are almost telepathically in tune with each other, both visionary and seeing the shot they want before it is even taken. Their personalities are so easy going and funny; people you want to be best friends with after the shoot. They made both my husband and I feel so comfortable while shooting, and that is saying a lot on my husbands part who typically despises having his picture taken. All of our guests are still talking about how personable they are as humans, but, also, how captivating their photographs are. Their work speaks for itself. Also, if speed is something you're looking for, they deliver the highest quality photographs you can imagine faster than any other wedding photographers. We had ours back before we were even home from our honeymoon. I simply can't wait to have more life events that I can hire them for. Thank you guys for capturing our memories and creating art with them. We love you both!-

The best ever
I will never be able to say enough good things about Applehead as a business and Phillip and Heather as people. It has been an absolute DELIGHT to work with them for our wedding! We did engagement photos about a year prior to the wedding day and I knew immediately that we had made the right choice. Every photo we have from them is a deeply cherished treasure and we are so glad to have gotten to know Phillip and Heather in the process. Not only did they match our desire to be out in the cold (January for engagement photos on a VERY windy mountain and January for the wedding in a historic downtown), they thrived in it! I swear you can see it in the photos. And they were always so sweet to our little pup who we just couldn’t be without! They fit in with our wedding crowd so well that they may as well have been a part of the family - we’ve gotten so many compliments on them as people before the photos were even back! And while the photos are the BIG thing here, I can’t believe how incredible they were to work with on the business side of things as well. They were helpful in picking a location for engagement photos and what to wear, they helped so much with working out a day of timeline and any other details for the day, and then after they were so patient and compassionate when our final check got stuck in the mail and worked with us every step of the way. Not only would I use Phillip and Heather again for my wedding day, I’m actively looking for reasons we may need photos taken again! I would recommend them a thousand times over. -

Most Amazing Photographers & Photos
Philip and Heather are absolutely amazing and the best photographers!! From the very start I knew I did not want the average, bright, and airy wedding photos that you see everywhere. As soon as I saw Applehead's work, I knew they were they ones I wanted capturing my wedding day and that was the best decision I made! They're work is edgy, creative, and unique to each wedding. From beginning to end both Heather and Philip were so helpful with everything; making the whole process fun and easy. From trekking through the woods with us, to helping reschedule events to fit everything in! Not only did they perfectly capture the feeling of our wedding but also got so many amazing, fun photos of everyone dancing and having a great time! I also cannot express enough how much of a benefit it is to have two photographers. You get so many more photos in a shorter amount of time, along with getting two different angles of everything! Not to mention that they get the photos back to you extremely fast; they had them done before we even got back from our honeymoon! I cannot imagine the day without them both, my only regret is that we didn’t have them there longer!-

Our best vendor
Phillip and Heather are by far the best photographers you can have at your wedding. When we first contacted them I thought we were splurging on our photography, but I now know we snagged an absolute steal. They are worth every single penny and more! They are very professional and were our best and most helpful vendor. They were better than our venue, bakery, videographer, flower, and DJ combined. They reached out to us early to get an idea about our vision and gave us great guidance as to what to expect for our big day. Leading up to the day, they were the only vendor that actually contacted us with reminders and clarifications that no other vendor did. On the day of, they were not only incredibly helpful, they were absolute champs when it came up rolling with the punches and really making the day special. I can't recommend them enough. Your search for a photographer ends here. Please contact them immediately! -

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!-

Best Wedding Photographers!
We found Heather and Phillip on Instagram for our engagement shoot! Instantly we became friends! Going into the shoot I explained the “vibe” I was going for, and they understood the assignment!! We new after the engagement photos came back that it was meant to be! When I tell you my wedding photos are perfect… I’m not kidding!!!! Every single person I show tells me “your photographers are amazing!” I just go, “I KNOWWWWW!” Thank you for capturing our day to perfection! I could not have asked for more!-

Exceptional
Heather & Philip are one of a kind. There are no words to describe the level of extraordinary photography that they do. Their work is amazing, and they are both a delight to work with. They did my wedding and I can’t thank enough for my beautiful pictures. They did an amazing job, I was beyond happy and in awe of so many beautiful pictures to choose from. They are the most unique and best photographers I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting and working with. -

Unique & Creative Wedding Photographer
I seriously don't know where to start. Philip and Heather, better known as Pheather, are the most incredible people you will ever have the privilege of knowing and working with. Besides them being such great people, they are an amazing team! They are creative, artistic and just damn good at what they do. They craft the most unique pictures. They are everything you would want your wedding photographers to be. They are reliable, attentive, prompt, detailed, thorough, fun, exact, responsive...I could go on and on. Not to mention that they had our wedding photos back to us within a WEEK of getting married. I mean seriously, that's not going to happen with anyone else. The pictures were beautiful! So much more than we ever hoped for. They "moved around" without us ever knowing they were there. And that's exactly how you want your photographer to be. You want them there getting all the shots without knowing they're there. To say that we were blown away by them is an understatement! -

Just book them already!
I should just let the pictures I shared do the talking because Philip and Heather left my husband and I speechless when we got our wedding photos back. I don’t have the words to say all the good things about them! From the moment they arrived on our wedding day, we felt like we were spending time with old friends. They were so fun and easy to be around and immediately made us feel comfortable despite feeling awkward in front of a camera. Somehow, they managed to make us look like models! They gave incredible direction and have such a unique vision for every photo. Just do whatever they tell you- trust them! The turn around time for editing the photos was also extremely fast. They’re a truly hardworking duo with some amazing talent and kind hearts. I have no doubt that they offer the same quality of service to every client they have. I just want to scream from the rooftops that everyone needs to book with Applehead Photography! We love them!-

Best photographers and a dream to work with!
There are not enough words to say how amazing Heather and Philip are! They put us both at so much ease during our engagement shoot, my husband's grad photos, and on our wedding day. We had to postpone our wedding and then we reduced it to less than 20 people and moved it to Gatlinburg and I told my husband I absolute refused to give up Pheather as our photographers. Thankfully they were able to travel to Gatlinburg and the pictures were a dream come true. Our pictures look similar to a stylized shoot which is what I was hoping for since my husband and I wanted ones that looked more like artwork than traditional wedding photos and Pheather absolutely delivered. They made us laugh the whole time and seemed to have the perfect thing to say when I got stressed and started to get overwhelmed during group photos. Their turn around time for photos is insanely fast and I was so thankful to not have to wait multiple months to get my photos like so many of my friends have had to do. I cannot recommend them enough and they deserve more than 5 stars!Applehead Photography & Design's reply:
Oh, Nicole! You guys are seriously such wonderful people! From the moment we approached you guys at Glover Park, we knew we'd all have fun together! And we've seriously had such a fun time when we're around you guys. We're so grateful that you stuck with us through Covid and then decided to make sure we were at your private elopement spot on top of those mountain clouds (that driveway was crazy steep!!). And we're ecstatic to know that your wedding photos were the unconventional ones you were hoping for!! We're sad to know that you'll be leaving the peach state, but we know you two will have an amazingly bright future in all you do. We wish you guys so many more years of happiness together! Thank you for letting us into your lives!!!!!

Unbelievable talent
There really aren’t sufficient words in the English language to express how amazing these guys are. Philip and Heather beautifully captured every detail of our wedding day. Usually you have to pick between quantity and quality. One look at their photos and you know they exemplify quality. Because of this, I honestly was not expecting to have as many unique, posed shots as we ended up with, in addition to candid reception shots, group shots, details, and everything else. I seriously don’t know how they did it. Every single photo is absolutely incredible. Not only can they pose, compose, and edit in a beautifully artistic way, they also are insanely talented candid photographers and know how to capture moments and expressions, which as a photographer, can be REALLY hard to do.
They got it all. I can’t believe the number of photos they turned over to us, in LESS than two weeks (ten days, to be exact), and not just that, but the quality of everything and the variety, it’s just amazing. We got so many unique posed shots, each one is absolutely stunning and something we would hang on our wall. They got details of EVERYTHING, so even though we were too busy to remember what our cake even looked like, they got several shots of it and every other detail of the day. They asked us what group photos we wanted and got those for us, they work SUPER fast and the results are perfect. Philip worked with me and my groomsmen to make some really special group shots that are the absolute coolest photos I’ve ever been a part of. They did our first look, but kept it really low key, which is how we wanted it. They just totally got us and our style. On our day-after photo shoot, they brought the drone along and made some really cool aerial shots and over the water shots. I just can’t say enough about how much effort they put in and how far they went to make our photos truly special. It is obvious that they care so much about their clients and their craft. They are simply the best at what they do, and you can tell they really love doing it.
As if all this wasn’t enough, they are genuinely kind, funny, and fun people to have around on your special day. We honestly had so much fun just hanging out with them, we were instant friends. They work in such a relaxed, but efficient way. They aren’t the kind of photographers that are going to add to your stress, In fact, they do very much the opposite and help you enjoy your day.
If you’re looking for an amazingly talented, artistic team of photographers to capture your wedding day, with impeccable quality and style, you won’t find any better than Philip and Heather. They were truly a pleasure to work with, and the photos exceeded our wildest expectations. Thank you guys!!!-

Wow!! Your review means more to us than we can adequately express in this response. The fact that we exceeded your expectations is so rewarding for us to know. The couple of days we spent with you all truly felt like we were just old friends catching up. Thank you for being so flexible with our creative spontaneity throughout your timeline and not laughing super hard at me (Philip) for falling down after your ceremony! The atmosphere you, your friends, and family created made our time with everyone extremely enjoyable. We'll always remember your words in this review, but one of your sentences will remain as a major initiative for us, “they care so much about their clients and their craft.” We sincerely hope you both have many more years of happiness and success together!

Ah maz ing
Heather and Phillip have a GOD GIVEN TALENT. Their ideas just flow off each other and they are so easy to work with! Their photos are definitely unmatched by any, my turn around time for my wedding photos was unreal! I will always recommend them (my sister is actually using them in her wedding next month!). Having two photographers is a game changer, you may not think about it but they get every angle of your big day so nothing is missed!-

Look no further- heather & phillip are amazing!
Heather & Phillip shot our wedding this past November and were an absolute pleasure to work with. They were both extremely professional- on time, detailed, efficient & thorough. Even more importantly, they made my husband & I and all of our family members completey comfortable and at ease. I had multiple compliments afterwards from our family with how great they were. I can't wait to see the final product - but have complete confidence from all of their other work I have seen. I would HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend them!Applehead Photography & Design's reply:
Laura, thank you so much for your review and possibly excepting my delinquent response! We had such a great time with you both at such a beautifully designed intimate wedding! The location of your venue and everyone there was such a delightfully cozy environment. We seriously felt like the goofy uncles getting up from our dinner to photograph our family! So many kind people to celebrate such an amazing couple. Thank you again for finding us and trusting us with your wedding! We wish you both many wonderful years!!!!

Amazing people & stunning photos
Words can't even express how much we loved working with Heather and Philip throughout our entire process of planning, and especially on our wedding day. They were so helpful and kind, and it was like having two old friends there with us, which made for such a wonderful experience on our big day. Their photos are absolutely stunning and every time I look at them I see an added layer of detail or emotion that perfectly captures how much joy and fun we had at our wedding. I had done a TON of research before choosing them for our wedding, and I absolutely *cannot* recommend them enough.-

Our Favorite Photographers
We cannot begin to explain how much fun we had working with APD! It was such a blast. Heather and Phillip have such an eye, not to mention the perfect personality for “low-key” couples who want to celebrate their love and have the real-life moments captured. They’re so encouraging and really support any unique vibes. Working with them was more like playing, which is exactly what my husband and I wanted. We also got incredible candid shots of us and our guests-which is great because we weren't able to spend extended periods of time with our guests and now we have evidence everyone had a great time!-

Thank you for being so chill, super fun, and willing to let us float around your awesome venue. And although you didn't take us with you to Cali :), we were super thrilled to be included in your beautiful reception venue with such amazing people. Congrats to such a wonderful couple!!

Photographers for Life!
Of the many vendors hired for our wedding, the best money spent was with Applehead Photography. My husband and I aren’t exactly pros in front of the camera, but Philip and Heather were able to get us out of our shells and capture our personality in every shot. We chose to do our engagement photos at the venue in which we were going to be married, and we were able to practice poses and locations that we thought would be best for the actual wedding day - something I would highly recommend to any couple. I absolutely loved every one of the photos taken in both our engagement and wedding, which is a very amazing feat, as we all know how self-critical we can be when viewing ourselves in photos. I felt that Heather and Philip truly took the time and effort to know us and our needs/wants for our special day. Fast forward a few years, and our pup was celebrating her 10th birthday - I didn’t hesitate to call Applehead to inquire about capturing this special moment in (now) our married life. Again, the photos didn’t disappoint and, as always, the turnaround was quick and seamless. I’ve found my photographers for life. -

Wedding Photos of my Dreams!
We hired Heather and Phillip for our January 2021 wedding and can’t even begin to express how much we loved their work! Not only are their photos phenomenal, but they are both the sweetest humans! Our photos turned out amazing and I spent the whole day laughing during our wedding and our bridal photos afterwards! They are the BEST at dark + moody photos and we couldn’t have been happier! We have recommended them to all of our friends also planning weddings! Turn around time was insanely fast and they were an absolute dream to work with!-

Thank you, Hannah! Every time we meet photograph you two you both know how to kill it! The camera loves how you both can so easily model for poses or just have fun together. We may have to carry a Snickers for Thor in the future, but I'm sure we can always capture great photos with you two regardless ;)! We are seriously grateful that you both allowed us to capture those moments for you! We completely love your families and your wedding was amazing all around- the venue, the Varsity!, and the atmosphere you both created!! We hope you'll continue to look back fondly at your photos and until next time!!!!
