About Phillip
BaCK
I love making you look and feel amazing. At any event, I pride myself on being
part cheerleader,
part therapist,
part time-keeper,
part best photographer you've ever seen, and
part grandma charmer.
I always deliver photos faster than you can imagine.
I keep the energy calm and confident all day long.
XOXO, PHIL

About me:
I've traveled somewhere new every year since 2003, which brings me to 54 countries visited!
I love to read and finish about 20+ books a year.
I was born in Santa Barbara and have lived in New York for 13+ years.
I am endlessly curious and think curiosity is a superpower!
I hiked El Camino de Santiago March 2026 and it was profoundly life changing.
XOXO, PHIL

"On the day of your wedding, Phillip has an easiness about him which makes him an unconventional professional in an industry full of big personalities. All of my couples love him."

01. IN TUNE
Hiring a wedding photographer means hiring someone to be by your side on one of the most important days of your life. When you hire Phil, you can be sure that you're hiring someone who will be emotionally in tune to what you (and your family) want and need throughout the day. No forced agendas or stress, just a friend who is on your team and has your best interest in mind.
THE PHILLIPVN EXPERIENCE
04. EFFORTLESS
"Phillip's warm and enthusiastic demeanor shines when you meet him and comes right through the lens when you see his work. He captures the most unexpected touches, moments and feelings just when you least expect it... Working with him seems effortless but his finished product proves nothing less than perfect!" - Carolyn Bender

No overly posed imagery or uncomfortable portrait sessions here. The Phillipvn experience is relaxed and fun, even if you're not your most comfortable in front of a camera. You'll always look your best, and you'll have a good time doing it. Most of the time, you won't even know he's there!
