    We were blown away!

    While we were fortunate to work with an excellent vendor team throughout wedding planning, Phill truly stood out as our favorite. Videography actually wasn't initially a top priority for us (we were working within a budget) but we decided to keep an open mind and meet with a few videographers just to see what was out there. From our very first conversation with Phill, we were sold. It was clear that he wasn't just interested in booking another job, he genuinely wanted to get to know us as people. In the end, working with Phill was one of the best decisions we made throughout the wedding process. We were absolutely blown away by the final product. He went above and beyond what was outlined in the contract, and he delivered the final product ahead of schedule. Everything in the videos, from the drone shots, time lapse shots, to song choices, was perfect. Our wedding videos are now some of our most treasured possessions and we can’t wait to watch them back over the years.

    What impressed us most was Phill's obvious passion for his craft. Our calls with him often ran long, not because we were particularly picky, but because Phill took the time to understand us. His enthusiasm is infectious, and it shows in every interaction. Beyond his videography expertise, he offered valuable insights that extended well beyond his role, helping us navigate other aspects of our wedding planning. He was very responsive and we never waited long for replies to our emails.

    If you’re a couple who’s on the fence about getting video for your wedding, do it! While our photos were beautiful as well, the videos capture something truly unique. Above all, Phill comes across as a genuinely good person who cares about his clients and their special day. We couldn't have asked for a better videographer!

    Creatively talented and very responsive!

    Phil was just the right person to film my daughter's music-festival themed wedding. He joyously captured the vivid colors and fun of it all. His communication was perfectly professional and responsive. His visionary eye for every little detail showed his creative talents. He was quick to produce a teaser trailer and edited short film that brought tears of joy to our eyes, because they captured the day so well. Thank you Phil!

    If you are lucky enough to reach out to Phill before he’s all booked up, take it!

    If you are lucky enough to reach out to Phill before he’s all booked up, take it! He was our absolute favorite vendor, and we can’t say enough good things about him. Even during our first intro call, before we had booked him, Phill spent an hour getting to know us, understanding our style, and really diving into what we were looking for. He’s such a pleasure to speak with, and it was clear how much thought he was putting into every detail. Even though he’s been to our venue many times, he took the time to ask us about our favorite aspects of the place, why we chose it, and what vibe we were hoping to capture. He is also so prompt in his responses and always sent reminder emails which completely put me at ease which we did not always get from all of our other vendors.

    We were a bit nervous about how it would feel to have a camera following us around, but we barely noticed Phill at all on the day. We didn’t feel awkward in the slightest, and he made the whole experience so enjoyable. His suggestions throughout the day were absolutely perfect—never overbearing, but thoughtful tips that we were so glad we took. We can’t wait to see the final video, but we already know it’s going to be amazing! Phill truly exceeded all of our expectations.

    Amazing Videographer

    We had the pleasure of working with Phillip and his team for both our rehearsal dinner and our wedding day. We are beyond thrilled with the work, time, and effort he put into our films. We will forever cherish the moments he captured, from kind words from family and friends, to the vows my husband and I wrote, to the after party. I highly recommend getting a videographer and even more highly recommend Phillip. From when we initially contacted him, to “meeting” via zoom to get to know each other, to the big weekend we trusted and felt comfortable with him throughout the whole process!!!

    Our Favorite Vendor

    Working with Phillip Alan Films was simply the best investment we made for our wedding. I can't say enough great things about Phill, from his skill and professionalism, to his commitment to his craft, and his amazing personality that made the whole process a joy. We threw quite a few wrenches into things as we attempted to make a 2020 wedding possible, and Phill consistently rolled with the punches, shared creative ideas, problem-solved, and made things we thought would be impossible a reality! It was truly enjoyable to work with him, from our correspondence to the wedding day. And THEN we got to see the final products!... We are in love with our films and will treasure them forever - they represent our magical day so genuinely and in a way that is so "us." Thank you a million times to Phill! As my brother said upon first viewing our film, "Your videographer was worth every penny."

    Thank you Phillip Alan Films!

    Choosing Phillip Alan Films for our videographer was the best thing we could've done for our wedding! We're one of the many couples who had to change our original wedding plan due to COVID. We moved our location and had a month to plan and that's when we found Phillip Alan Films from recommendation of family and friends. Phil was so flexible and adaptable for us and was such a joy to work with. He is extremely professional, talented and funny! He really helped us relax and just enjoy our day. He captured amazing footage and we felt so relieved to know he had it all handled! Phil is extremely talented and creative and we are so grateful to have these memories captured to cherish forever. Highly, highly, highly recommend Phillip Alan Films!

    I knew from the very start of wedding planning that I wanted a video to capture our day. After lots of research (watching many videos & comparing prices), it was Phill's work that stood out. The way he portrayed the setting, the details, and most importantly, how he captured the love and energy of the day had me in tears with the handful of his videos that I watched.

    I sent an inquiry and got a response right away. We spent an hour or so on vid conference to talk it through. Booked! Phill was very professional, responsive and informative during the planning.

    The final outcome? Such a beautiful short film (~8.5 minutes), a live edit film (~1hr), and all the raw footage.

    We posted the short film on social media and the responses have been overwhelming! So many people commented on how beautiful the day was, how evident it was that we loved each other, and that it brought many of them to tears. They said they felt like there were there! Artistically speaking, so many have compared it to a Hollywood Film trailer - leaving them wanting to buy tickets for the full screening lol.

    I know many couples contemplate the value of hiring a videographer vs. keeping to tight budgets. If you asked me, I'd say that you needed to find a way to make your budget work to hire Phill. This keepsake captures the day in a way that photos can't. (Don't get me wrong, you want a videographer AND a photographer to capture the beauty of your day - and all the hard work that went into planning it.) My husband keeps referring to it as such a great investment.

    Our married friends have said they wished they hired a videographer, especially after seeing our short film.

    Thank you again, Phill!

    Phil and his assistant Rusty are amazing. He had us laughing when he was blending into the crowd. I knew he was there but at times I had no idea. I can't wait to see our wedding video. I know it will be nothing short of spectacular. He was a great hire, which was important to me cause this was the number item on my list for our wedding. He was easy to work with, has a great vision for the couple he is working with, and was all around top notch.

    Phill was very professional, yet fun and artistic. He knows how to capture good video to make a work of art from it instead of just a video. He did a wonderful job capturing our day and not being "noticeable" with the camera. Most of the day I didn't notice him, which made the video that much better. Candid, sweet moments caught perfectly, designed into a beautiful video. Great work! I'd highly recommend to anyone!

    By selecting Phillip Alan Films for our wedding day, we did not get a basic videographer, we got a filmographer and movie director. We have not yet seen our final wedding day film, but based on what we have seen of his product thus far, we know our final movie is going to be just as amazing.

    From the very beginning my husband said we needed him to be part of our day and I'm so glad we had him. Our wedding day will forever be captured by live footage in Phil's artistic way. If you are thinking about capturing your wedding on video, this is the man to go to.

    As a vendor myself I've referred many clients to Phill knowing that they would be in good hands.
    This time I get to refer him as a client!
    I hired Phillip Alan Films for my Brother's wedding and he did not dissappoint. He captured all the special nuances of the day that I knew he would. My Brother and his new wife are ecstatic about the beautiful piece Phill put together for them.
    I kept the surprise of hiring PAF from the couple until a few days before the wedding and I remember the Bride telling me later that she was nervous when I told her about the video because she didn't want someone with a camera following her around and getting in her face. She later told me that she barely noticed Phill floating around and is sooooo glad that they now have something irreplacable and so special to remember their day.

    I've learned over the years working with Phill that video offers such an amazing treat to take away from a special event. I tell people constantly that they should make video a priority and that Phill is second to none at what he does.
    I'll refer PAF to anyone, anytime, anywhere!

    Thanks Phill!
