San Antonio wedding photographers
Hi there! I’m Philip, a San Antonio wedding photographer
I am a documentary wedding photographer based in San Antonio, Texas. My specialty is capturing authentic love stories with emotional depth and sincerity without wedding photography clichés. I also capture weddings in Houston, Austin, Los Angeles, and New York, and other destinations.
I am a former press photographer originally from England. I have made San Antonio my home since 2006, but I’m still holding on to my British accent for dear life! All jokes aside, I am passionate about photography and love to fuel my passion with coffee 24/7 while balancing my busy family life.
I’m a hybrid film and digital photographer who shoots with Leica Rangefinder cameras. My style is unobtrusive, and I never interfere with the natural flow of your special day. I capture your wedding candidly as a wedding photojournalist (PJ).
Wedding photojournalism is all about documenting moments without disrupting the natural course of events. As a wedding photojournalist, I observe and capture the magic unfolding.
I am honored to have been voted one of the best wedding photographers in San Antonio by The Knot for five years in a row. I look forward to hearing from you!
Forget wedding clichés.

THE STYLE
Always Chasing the Light
I love capturing moments with the diminutive Leica Rangefinder cameras. The natural-looking images I produce are film-like or shot on film, which gives them a unique and moody quality, especially in black and white. The Leica is perfect for how I see the world- quiet, small, and unobtrusive. I draw inspiration from many sources, including masters of art, painters, photojournalists, street photographers, and documentary photographers. Henri Cartier-Bresson is a particular favorite of mine. Studying their work taught me more about my craft and how to tell stories with my photos.
Unscripted in-between moments
I’m a San Antonio wedding photographer, but also photograph in Texas and throughout the USA. I enjoy capturing the in-between moments, those raw and unscripted moments on your wedding day.
On top of that, I love working with geometry in my images. Those decisive moments and emotional resonance truly make the photos come alive.
Ignore me, pretty please
Of course, I’m more than happy to take the traditional group photos and portraits of the newlyweds, but they’re just a small part of the magic that happens on your special day.
The cool thing is you can just be you, and I’ll handle the rest. I believe in documenting your day as honestly as possible. In fact, please ignore me, as the pictures will be better while you can enjoy the magic and intimacy of your special day. All I ask is for your trust. See my galleries here.
Finally, yes, I really am an ‘unobtrusive’ photographer, capturing the real, the authentic.
Texas wedding photographer
I am a photographer based in San Antonio, and I love capturing moments all across Texas. From the vibrant city of Austin to the bustling metropolis of Houston and the serene beauty of the Gulf Coast, I enjoy exploring all that this great state has to offer through my lens.

Hotel Havana, San Antonio, Texas
Hotel Havana has to be one of my favorite San Antonio hotels to capture weddings. The hotel is like stepping into the tropical allure of the hotel’s Caribbean namesake.
Summer wedding in New York
Here’s a set of my favorite images from Judy and Alex’s wedding at The DeBruce in New York. The DeBruce is nestled in 600 acres of grounds along Willowemoc Creek and features hiking trails, ponds, and views of the Catskills mountains. I hope the pictures I took show just how breathtaking it is.
