    Don’t hesitate! Well worth it :)

    Phil and Kristen were fantastic to work with for our wedding. They make sure to know what shots are most important to you and also do a great job of scoping out the venue. They made everything easy and did wonderful job of engaging people to get candid and posed photos. Several things stood out to me about Phil and Kristen. For one, with the busyness of the day, we didn’t have time to get details together for photos. Kristen went out of her way to get this done without imposing on us any more than asking us for our rings for a bit. Our guests also couldn’t stop talking about how fantastic Phil’s energy was on the dance floor while getting the action shots. Not to mention how stunning the photos turned out! We will cherish these photos forever. Don’t hesitate if you are thinking of booking Phil and Kristen. Their work speaks for itself!

    Fun and Smooth!

    Phil and Kristen are accommodating, kind, and so fun to work with! They adapted to all of our needs/concerns, and made the day-of really fun and special. They work so well together and keep you smiling all day long!

    Great experience not only as a wedding guests but also as Bride and Groom!

    We originally met Phil and Kristen at a friend's wedding. Their willingness to engage guests to get both candid and staged shots stood out to us. We knew from the brief time of being around them and the resulting photos that we wanted them to also be our photographers! Prior to our wedding, Kristen spoke with us several times to lay out the schedule of photos, and to also make sure everything that we wanted to capture was included in the plan. They turned what could have been a tedious job of group photos into something light-hearted and easy. They make everyone feel comfortable, and their personalities are the best part about having them as part of a wedding vendor team. They are both hilarious, and also worked well with our videographer. After the wedding, my coordinator even commented about how wonderful they were. We consider ourselves very lucky to have been able to work with Phil and Kristen!

    Breathtaking is an understatement

    Phil and Kristen are such a beautiful team, which makes sense why they capture your day like angels! They truly know what they are doing, and make the day seem so effortless. Not to mention they see things in such a unique way, it translates in unbelievable photos that will forever remain timeless.

    So fun- love them!

    Phil & Kristen are awesome. They are super down to earth and make a great team. Their laid back energy creates a very calm and fun atmosphere. Kristen thinks of everything- she made a day of timeline, picked out some awesome photo spots at the venue, and made sure we had time to take golden hour photos. We got a handful of pictures a few days after the wedding, a "preview" of more than 100 photos a few weeks later, and 1500+ photos 3 months later. We also used them for our engagement photos. The wedding photos & engagement photos are loved by all! 10/10 would recommend!

    Oliver Wedding

    Phil and Kristen were the first of many photographers that we considered during the planning process. We talked to some great options; however, there was no question that they were the photographers for us. Not only did I feel an instant connection with Kristen from the first time we spoke, the conversation never felt rushed or impersonal. I had so many questions and Kristen was able to give such valuable advice and feedback. My husband and I are not the most comfortable in front of the camera, but there was never a time where we wanted the photoshoots to end. Phil was funny and charming and the groomsmen loved him!! Kristen is SUCH a calming force and just makes you feel great during an otherwise super hectic day. We have just received our wedding day preview and I cannot get enough. We are so in love with our photos and can’t wait to see the rest! If you come across Phil and Kristen, look no further! You will not be disappointed :)

    Perfect Couple for our Perfect Day

    Phil and Kristen are marriage and photography goals! They are a super amazing couple who are willing to go above and beyond to provide you with the shots and photos that you want for your special day. All the photos that have turned out are simply amazing and I have received tons of compliments on how gorgeous our photos are. My husband and I live out of state so I wasn't going to be able to partake in the engagement shoot included in the photography package. Since we were having two day wedding event weekend Kristen was completely accommodating to use that allotted time for one of our events. Even when that event was delayed Kristen stayed longer to make sure that she could capture some photos we wanted. My husband and I are happy with all of the photos taken over our wedding weekend. Kristen was even super helpful when it came to setting up a basic timeline for our big day. I cannot express fully how pleased we are with the day of services, and the final product of our big day!

    Love these guys!

    Nothing but good things to say! My husband and I loved working with Phil and Kristen. From the engagement shoot to the end of the wedding day, they made us feel very comfortable (and we are not camera loving people!) and we had so much fun. No shortage of laughs when working with these guys! They were able to handle a crunched timeline and lots of family members sneaking their way in with iphones, still delivering some fantastic photos. Thank you Phil and Kristen!

    The best photographers we could have asked for!

    I can't say enough great things about Phil and Kristen! They were the only photographers we had a call with and we got along so well with Kristen that we knew we had to go with them.

    We got married at The Farm (NC), so we wanted photographers who were familiar with the venue. Phil and Kristen knew exactly where to take us and we trusted them 100% to get the best shots.

    They were also just great people to work with. Kristen was so responsive with all of my emails, which I really appreciated since we planned our Asheville wedding from San Francisco. Our guests also raved about them and couldn't even tell when they were around. They were extremely professional and didn't get in the way. Phil also had us cracking up the whole time and just made the experience so fun!

    All in all, Phil and Kristen were one of our favorite vendors to work with!

    Can't Recommend Enough!

    From our very first conversation Phil & Kristen had us feeling at ease and confident in choosing them. They were both calm and professional while still bringing amazing fun and friendly personalities. They were excellent about detailing out the whole process from helping us pick how many hours were needed, to confirming which specific photos we wanted, and putting together a photography timeline for the day of. It was obvious they knew what to do and the best way to go about making sure everything went well. The day of they were completely prepared and were just a blast to work with, making a busy day one with good times and great memories. During the wedding they gave fantastic ideas of photos and were open to listening and capturing the moments that were most important to us. We left feeling like we were thanking good friends for being such an amazing part of our special day and later, seeing the stunning results, was just that much more amazing! We don't think we could have found a better photography team to capture our special day.

    Phil and Kristen were absolutely amazing, they are so personable, funny, and really make you feel comfortable like you’ve known them forever! They make a great team, with their amazing chemistry and humor they worked with us closely to capture all of the many amazing moments we envisioned. We would highly recommend Phil and Kristen to anyone looking for a photographer! We honestly couldn’t be any happier, thanks again Phil and Kristen!

    Phil and Kristen were absolutely wonderful. From our initial conversation with Kristen we felt very comfortable and taken care of. We didn't meet Phil until the day of the wedding but instantly felt the same with him that we had already felt with Kristen. The pictures they took for us are fantastic! They did a great job making the most of the landscape that they had to work with and more importantly...making us look good! Our family and friends have been raving about the pictures they took and also how they fit in at the small ceremony we had. We know exactly where to go if we ever need professional pictures taken again!

    Phil and Kristen are the absolute best photographers and people! We had them do both our engagement shoot and our wedding and we couldn’t be happier. My husband and I were both a little uncomfortable having our pictures taken at first, but Phil and Kristen are so warm and hilarious and they made every step of the process so easy and so, so much fun. Not only are they exceptionally professional and timely in all communications (unlike me who is writing this review seven months late, sorry guys!), but every single photograph they gave us was stunning. They captured every single beautiful moment of that day and we are so, so grateful that we were able to work with them. Everyone was so impressed, including our wedding planner who told me the prep work they did before the wedding to scout locations and perfect the timing for the day of was above and beyond. I cannot say enough nice things about them. They are exceptional people and photographers.

    From a fellow vendors perspective: Phil and Kristen are truly the best. Their assistance with timeline, planning and day-of details is so helpful to the Client. Kristen is very responsive in her communication and always accessible for questions and last minute changes. Their photos are gorgeous and really show who the couple is and how they relate to each other. Their images capture the authentic spirit of celebration and love that happens on a wedding day. Highly recommend!

    Wow, so I don't even know where to begin with my review. Phil and Kristen have been such an amazing couple to work with. We had our wedding at the Biltmore, and they were honestly the best part of it. I was beyond nervous before Kristen showed up, but as soon as she got there she knew exactly what to do to calm me down (without the aid of alcohol lol). They were both such a blast to have around, and the sneak peek pictures have turned out to be absolutely stunning. I couldn't have asked for better photographers, and I hope that they'll agree to doing more photoshoots with us in the future. Thank you Phil and Kristen for helping me make our big day perfect!

    There really isn't enough I can say about these two to express how much we loved our experience with them. Phil spent the day with the guys and captured some of my favorite pictures ever of my husband. Kristen spent the day with me and the girls, and I swear caught every single special moment between me and the bridesmaids and my mom.
    They are the epitome of calm, in what surely will be a hectic day. Their experience and expertise was integral in helping me stay level headed when (so many) things went wrong. We had the best laid plans, and through no fault of their own, the whole schedule got its feet kicked out from under it. They were flexible, and made it happen; catching the moments that were most important to us, and then some. Kristen and Phil, we love you guys so much. Thank you for everything you guys did for us that day. We can't thank you enough, and we're so blessed to have had you there.

    Phil and Kristen are truly amazing. Not only are they the sweetest people ever, they take breath-taking and stunning photos that make me want to cry with happiness every-time I see them. Kristen is such a wonderful and professional photographer who calmed me down when I needed it and was full of unique picture ideas that turned out perfect. Phil has such a great character to him and had everyone, including the kids, laughing and smiling as the pictures were taken. Seeing them both together, standing on chairs, running around all day just trying to get the perfect picture, really amazed me and just set in stone that we went with the perfect photographers. Phil had also done our engagement photo shoot and we knew that he would also make our wedding photos memorable. Not only am I happy to call them my wedding photographers, but I am also honored to call them my friends. They truly went above and beyond to make our wedding day spectacular. Kristen took pictures of all the fine details of the wedding such as the rings, cake, centerpieces, and bouquets, which is great because the day goes by so fast, that you forget to slow down and look at all the little things. I know that if I ever should need photographers again, they are my first choice.

    Most unprofessional

    Since our wedding 5.4 we have received no communication. Emails, texts and phone calls are going unresponded. I see on the Knot website another couple is having the same issue. Today 7.9 I filed a BB complaint and I’m now having to look into legal action. I cannot believe this is happening to us.
