Philip Thomas Photography

Philip was my photographer for my engagement portraits, wedding ceremony, and wedding reception. Philip was recommended by my wedding planner. Philip photographed worked with us to take our engagement portraits in a horse drawn carriage downtown San Antonio. Our wedding ceremony and reception took place at a golf club, and we had a masquerade ball theme. Philip was flexible with our preferences. Our main preference was for our portraits to be taken in an unobtrusive documentary style approach that would capture the story of our celebrations. Philip captured the moments of our celebrations that we will be able to cherish and pass on to our family, friends and future loved ones.

There are so many good things to say about Philip and his photography. Philip is a talented person and very likable. I’ve gotten so many compliments on his pictures. His photography was a very good investment and worth every penny.

We had such a fantastic experience with Philip Thomas Photography. Our pictures are absolutely lovely!

Philip had done the photography for my sister's wedding three years ago and when I got engaged, he was the first vendor we booked. He had done such an incredible job with her wedding photos, that we planned our wedding date around his availability. As expected, he did an absolutely wonderful job with our photos. He has an incredible ability to catch all of the major moments. He has a keen eye to catch the minor moments that make the day special. I loved that each of the photos were natural and he never pressured us to be posed for any photos. It is six months later and people still comment to me about how wonderful he was. He was completely unobtrusive and yet managed to take photos from multiple different angles.

We found Philip to be a great pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend him. He does fabulous work and we have no regrets in choosing him as our photographer. These great photos and memories will be with us for the rest of our lives. He was able to capture the essence of the moment.

I would highly recommend Philip Thomas - he was very organized, courteous and made me feel at ease while I was taking my pictures. We worked together in different cities because I was getting married in my hometown of San Antonio and I live in Dallas. Hence, I was a bit obessive compulsive bout organization due to this reason :) and Philip was the fantastic at delivering the best service possible. And....he is a great artist too!! Also....even before, during and after the wedding, I never had any doubt that he and his assistance didn't capture our most memorable day. I even got rave reviews from our family and guests who worked to get candid group shots too. Again, I highly recommend Philip to any bride or anyone wishing to capture those special moments on film.

P.T. has a wonderful attitude and is so easy to work with. When I received my album,there were pictures in it I never even knew he took. He is truly the best of the best. Thank you for everything P.T.

From the first moment we contacted Philip, he has been responsive and a joy to work with. Since we do not live in San Antonio, Philip met us over Skype so we could get a sense of his albums and more importantly meet “face to face”. He was the only one of our five wedding vendors willing to do this for us.

After interviewing four or five photographers, we decided to hire Philip because he seemed to have a real belief in his work and a passion for telling a story. It was only after the wedding that we realized his numerous photography accolades and membership in several selective professional photography associations (all posted to his website).

Two days before the wedding, Philip shot our engagement session at the Sunken Garden in a totally relaxed way. He even managed to bring last minute prints to the wedding so we could display them. His performance on the day of the wedding is also noteworthy as evidenced by the number of friends, family, and hotel staff that commented, "Your photographer is awesome." There are even Facebook pictures of the length Philip went to get a shot.

The Monday after the wedding, Philip had posted stunning pictures to his blog, which was quickly circulated. The more I look at the pictures the more I see the true artistry behind them and realize that each shot from the flower girl admiring herself in the mirror to the groom dancing with his niece is a story unto itself. Even hard-to-impress friends and family were gushing.

Last, we really appreciated being able to make payments during the months leading up to the event over an easy online service. I can’t say how much this eased wedding planning from afar. I wish all the wedding vendors had this available!

Thanks so much for the hard work Philip.

Philip has stunning talent and an amazing ability to anticipate and capture moments that you can truly relive your event through. If you are looking for a photographer who can give you the gift of emotions frozen in time, this is the artist for you.

Philip is also a genuinely kind and fun person to work with. No diva artist ego, great sense of humor, and more than happy to work with his clients so you achieve exactly what you want. Highly, highly recommended!!!

Philip was extremely kind and very professional. We most appreciated his availability (at all times); especially when we ended up doing things 'last minute.' His work is definitely one of a kind; he truly captures every moment. Thank You, Philip! God Bless you and your family.

I'm not too wordy lol. But i had to say Philip kicked ass at our wedding. Thanks for the great customer service and professionalism. You were the highlight of the wedding!

From start to finish, Philip was absolutely fantastic to work with and produced amazing photos for our engagement, the bridal portrait, and of course our BIG day! He took the time to have multiple conversations with us about what we really wanted to see from our events and genuinely cared about our input. We didn't want a lot of staged pictures...we wanted to see a story of our family and friends helping us celebrate our wedding day.

The images he captured were exactly that...big laughs, smiles and private moments all taken without us realizing he was even there. He delivered in spades and I highly, highly recommend Philip for any event you need memorialized in pictures.

Sincerely, Samantha and Dax Moreno

Outstanding photographer, very professional, great to work with, entire experience was well worth every penny. Photo album is customized as well as the entire wedding day experience, Philip captures all the essentials and the intangibles as well.

I have referred Phillip Thomas to many friends because he is the most professional photographer I have ever met. His quality is perfect and he treats his clients as if they were the only client he has. He is curteous, available and respectful. I would (and do) recommend him for younphotography needs.

Philip Thomas is WONDERFUL! He was such a delight to work with before, during, and after the wedding. He and I emailed a few times before our big day, and he worked very diligently to arrange everything and plan the photography sessions so that we would have things just as we wanted them. At the ceremonies, Philip was so much fun to work with. He was friendly, encouraging, organized, and actually was very much a comfort and calming presence during those last few hours before the Hindu wedding, when I (the bride) was so frazzled and nervous! My groom really loved working with his assistant and had a lot of fun! Working with each of them truly feels like you are working with an old, dear, trusted friend. And the quality of the photography...absolutely STUNNING!
When we received our pictures I couldn't have been happier. Philip captured every moment of our day and everyone's personality. Every smile, every tear, and every laugh was there. He captured all sorts of moments in thousands of photos, both traditional and modern, both planned and unexpected. Every person to whom I have shown the pictures is just in awe of how professional and beautiful they are. My groom and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Philip Thomas! If weddings were easier to plan, we'd have another one just to work with Philip again

Loved, loved, loved working with Philip Thomas! We've only seen a small sampling of photos from the wedding at this early date, but we know we're going to love the final product. We highly recommend him and we know we'll call him in the future for special events.

Philip is AMAZING! He made my bridal shoot so much fun and as for the wedding...he captured every single moment...and didn't miss a beat!!!!!!!

Philip is an amazing photographer who really gets to know you as a couple! He was very personable and he totally made the bridal session a lot of fun!!!
We couldn't have asked for a better photographer!!! Definitely worth the money!!!!!!!!!

Philip is hands-down the best photographer in Texas and probably the world. He worked with us to customize shoots and album options.

We had been planning to take our wedding photos outside; however, after seeing our suite, Philip immediately recognized that the lighting in the room was uniquely suited to amazing photography, and the results definitely prove it - the photos are amazing!

After the wedding was over, I said to my husband, that I hadn't seen the Philip all night, and was worried he didn't get enough great shots. I was so wrong, he is so GREAT at his job, that you don't even notice him there, and when you get to see you proofs, you will be amazed at the number but more so of the quality of the shots he took. Many of our guests commented that they wish they'd had him at their wedding and most paid more than Philip's reasonable fee.

The one thing that was important to us, was our wedding photos, and we could not have been happier with our choice of photographers. If the one thing you do for your wedding to make it great, it should be to hire Philip.

Philip was one of the best decisions we made when it came to the wedding planning process. He was flexible, funny, talented and very professional. He worked hard to make us feel comfortable and we did - even though we met him in person just days before our wedding!

But, most importantly, his amazing work speaks for itself. He is simply so good at what he does. He will capture all the traditional posed shots that you want - and do those very well. But you will see his true genius is in the moments when you didn't even know the camera was there (which is a feat in of itself). He captures the emotion and the joy in each of his photos. Six months after our wedding, I truly now understand that this it is such a treasure that our pictures and album can so easily transport me back to those nights!

Philip was the BEST photographer I have ever worked with. He always responded quickly to my emails and phone calls and was always friendly! His cute little accent didn't hurt! My wedding party and guests loved him as well! He's so easy going and really put everyone at ease. We picked Philip because we wanted more than the traditional group "posed" photos that you normally see. We are a fun, non-traditional couple and Philip never batted an eye at any of our requests or silly antics! He has a great eye and I couldn't be happier with the bridal portraits, wedding photos, and wedding album we received. I am extrmely picky when it comes to photos of myself and I was prepared to be very critical, but I literally loved every photo he took! I would definitely reccomend Philip Thomas Photography for any bride to be! He's absolutely amazing!

It is with pleasure that I highly recommend Philip Thomas Photography!

My husband Andrew and I hired Philip to cover our wedding back in March. I was drawn to his documentary-style photography as well as to his commitment to taking pictures that went beyond your typical "bride looking off into the sunset" variety.

We were not disappointed! Our photos were gorgeously artful and natural-looking---shot from a variety of angles in beautiful, soft light. There was one picture of my father and I dancing that absolutely brings tears to my eyes every time I look at it. It's just absolutely perfect. And that is really Philip's greatest skill---the ability to know EXACTLY which moments you'll want to relive over and over for the rest of your life.

In addition to the photos being top-notch, Philip is a real pleasure to work with. He's there early, stays late, and is SUPER efficient and reliable. Once you hire him, you'll never have to think twice about your photographs until you are looking through the finished shots after the big day!

Philip was amazing! We wanted a photographer to capture our wedding day without influencing it - he was a phantom, ducking around the guests to get the best shot without intruding or affecting the candor of the shot. We hardly knew he was there! His relaxed style helped calm my nerves before I "took the aisle" and he stayed shooting until the very end.
As for the final product...our wedding album is perfect. Perfect! We love how he told our story - the flood of laughter, tears, & love comes through on every page, in every shot. The quality of the album itself is fantastic. Gorgeous colors and vision. Thank you, Philip, for everything!! We love your work and adore you!!

Best,
Sarah & Andrew

Absolute professional in flexibility and obtaining photos that capture emotions. Attentive to our
Needs.

Best wedding photographer we could of ever asked for!!! Has an amazing personality, patient, flexible, captures every moment with impeccable quality! Up with the latest and greatest technology and products! Truly a wonderful experience all around! Would recommend with great pleasure!!

I can't say enough positive things about Philip and his work. The most important thing we wanted for our wedding day were great photos. Philip delivered and then some.

Philip made us feel very comfortable during the whole selection process, engagement photo shoot, bridal portrait shoot, and during the wedding weekend festivities. He listened to all of our wishes, offered up creative suggestions and delivered some of the most beautiful photos we've seen.

As we were trying to tell our parents about his work, Philip was accommodating by meeting up with us and bringing examples of his work that impressed our entire family. Those meetings made us feel very happy with our decision to select Philip.

If you are looking for a great photographer for your wedding that truly gives you the most bang for your buck, look no further!

Great photographer! His style is truly unique!!

Philip Thomas photography is a must for a wedding. His skill and artistry are beyond any other photographer available in South Texas. Wonderful to work with, thoughtful and honest. Final product of albums is absolutely outstanding and breath taking.

I've played wedding ceremonies all over South Texas, and one of the photographers I see the most often at these events is Philip Thomas. Always professional and thorough, he is a favorite with brides and wedding parties. Highly recommended.

Philip Thomas is amazing! Not only is he an extremely talented photographer, he is sweet and charming- characteristics that always puts his subjects at ease.

Timeless, elegant, professional photos. A class act, all 'round. Can't wait until the next opportunity to work with Philip Thomas!

Working with Philip is always a treat, he is courteous, professional, and has an amazing ability to capture pure emotion. He is always smiling and makes everyone laugh. Philip has a way of bringing calm to the storm, and I would recommend him a million times over! Take a look at his beautiful portfolio and you will be amazed.

Outstanding! Philip Thomas Photography was the photographer for a wedding I provided the flowers for. They sent me photos of our flowers from that wedding which were wonderful. Nothing is better than a professional photograph of flowers. They have a unique "eye" and do very creative shots. I would highly recommend them.

Philip Thomas Photography....my oh my where to begin! First, Philip's talent for finding the uniqueness of the "average" is incredible! Something you and I would never look at twice, he will photograph to create a stunning art piece! Philip is always kind and patient with clients, and never intrusive. He captures those "moments" that could easily slip past, but he never stops the action to get the photo. That's talent. I love working with Philip...you will too!

Phillip Thomas is wonderful to work with. He has such a fun and inviting presence, and his clients love him. I work with a lot of photographers, and Phillip is by far one of my favorites. He is always in good spirits and remains calm in the most stressful situations. His work is phenomenal! The staff at Madame Makeup & Hair would highly, highly recommend Phillip Thomas Photography.

The thing that separates a great photographer from other photographers is the way they "see" what is going on around them. Phillip has an amazing ability to look beyond and in between moments and frame stunning shots of emotion even in situations that most photographers would overlook. I am excited any time I get to work with Phillip Thomas. It is always a treat to see through his eyes. I highly recommend Philip Thomas Photography.

Philip is FANTASTIC!! If you want a photographer that is a professional, and at the same time has great personality, and lets you have fun, Philip is your guy! We love to bump into him at weddings!
