WELCOME!

Hi, i am PHILIP

About me

AND I VERY AM EXCITED TO MEET YOU

So, how did a Brit end up in Texas?
It started on a cruise ship. My wife and I met while working onboard, and what followed was a long-distance relationship that spanned the Atlantic. After we got engaged, I made the move to San Antonio in 2006. These days, we’ve built a happy life here with our two daughters, two dogs, and a cat.

wEDDINGS IN Houston, Texas

I offer a fresh documentary-style perspective on wedding photography that feels natural, not staged. As a Houston wedding photographer, my work is rooted in storytelling and observation, capturing moments as they unfold in real time. With a background in press and photojournalistic photography, I document weddings organically—avoiding clichés and focusing on genuine, in-the-moment emotion.

Wedding photojournalism is about stepping back, observing, and capturing real moments without intrusion or awkward posing. My unobtrusive approach lets you stay present while I document your day with timeless, candid photographs.
