About

In short

I photograph people in love. I photograph real people, true emotion and life changing moments. I photograph all people, from all corners of the world, to all corners of the world. I photograph passionately, naturally, creatively.

Because of you

Over the years couples have put their confidence in me to photograph some of the most important moments in their lives. This is something I take seriously. I am proud of this. Without them I could not do what I love. Because of their trust I have achieved a few things that make me proud.

what people said

  • We are a couple from China and cannot speak any French, so it sounds good to have an English speaking photographer in France. And Philip gave us more surprise that we could ever think of. We book a photo-shooting package of Paris and Nice, which turned out to be a good choice. The two city are quite different and so is the tone of photos. Philip has a magic power of finding secret but beautiful spots for shooting, many of the spots we shoot at are impossible to find without him. We love how he managed to capture our natural emotions and instantaneous moments. The photos are just GREAT. We sincerely recommend Philip to you.

  • My fiance and I arranged to have our engagement shoot in Paris months ahead of time from Chicago. Philip made me feel confident from the get go that he would be able to capture the special time in our lives through his timely responses and by looking at his updated Instagram account. To get the look we desired Phillip suggested a sunrise shoot and he was exactly right with that suggestion! Upon receiving our photos back it looked as though we had the city all to ourselves; like we were the only ones in the world for that moment. We chose the 2 hour photo package that included two locations and an outfit change. Philip knows the city like the back of his hand and therefore we were able to get so many beautiful shots. Feeling comfortable in front of the camera and having fun while while shooting brings your photos to life and Phillip made that easy for us to do. We highly recommend him for any special occasion in your life!

  • Thank you so much for the amazing Paris experience and for the amazing photos! We had such an wonderful time on such a freezing cold day! The whole experience was so amazing and stress free from the beginning of our original inquiry to our last photo 🙂 Thank you so much for the great location recommendations (as we didn't have any idea as to where the best locations were) and for keeping us in great spirits in the rain and cold! We absolutely love our photos and so do our friends and family! We can't wait to come back for another occasion to take some more photos with you 🙂

  • Thanks so much for all your help at the wedding! Translator/photographer extraordinaire! We had a great time, and I really appreciated your calm presence. Thanks.

    - Jessie & Duncan (from New York)

  • The photos are beautiful!! We have had photos taken before by good photographers who captured emotions well, and had good composition - but I have to tell you, your photos not only have those qualities but are pieces of art in themselves! You are a great artist with fantastic work! (I like how you call yourself 'Imagery' and not just 'Photography'!) Thank you so much - you have made our five year anniversary trip to Paris memorable and timeless! Thank you so much again!

    - Purva & Parag (from Texas)

  • We wanted to say a huge thank you for the beautiful photos you put on your blog of our wedding. They are so special to us and we really can't thank you enough for capturing the day and evening for us in exactly the way we remember; incredibly happy and so much fun! We will treasure them forever. I hope you and your family are all doing well. Warmest regards from hot and sticky Thailand!
