Philip Thomas Photography : Blog bio picture

Welcome to my Blog!

PASSION is what drives me every day to capture great images. That, lots of coffee and my hectic family life, two girls; a two year old and our new born keeps my feet on the ground (usually running).

The following shows all the latest shoots, what drives me as an individual and sharing my learnings with you. Shooting professionally since 1992 and a wedding photojournalist since June 2006, I'm always trying to improve my craft and create great images.

Share your comments on the stories below and I hope you find inspiration. Please check out the website, www.philipphotography.com for more of my work and come and connect on my official Facebook page.

Come back often and thanks for stopping by!

TESTIMONIAL: CLAUDIA GARCIA

I just received this wonderful feedback from Claudia Garcia who married back on November 21, 2009. It’s always humbling to receive a testimonial like this and makes me work that much harder and create my best work.

“Not only is Philip incredibly talented, he made me feel tremendously comfortable during my bridal session. Furthermore, his work during our wedding was phenominal! He captured memories in a way that makes us feel like we’re there in those moments all over again. I recommend Philip without hesitation. He is a gifted photographer and a kind soul. ”

The original comments can be found here on my Pictage page. Just scroll to the bottom.

2010 + new website

Can you believe it’s 2010 and we’re already half way through January. I’ve been busy the last two weeks getting over colds and the flu and feeling the fatigue of our two little ones. The joy of a new born is just, well, fantastic of course, but exhausting! My wife and I are slowly been getting back into the rhythm of a new year, catching up our work, emails, editing, shooting and including a new website which went live this morning.

Marcie and I both wish you all a very happy new year and if you’re getting married, I’d like to wish you the best of luck as you plan your special day. One of the best sources here in San Antonio is San Antonio Weddings.

New Testimonial

It’s just fantastic to hear feedback from past brides and here’s the comments I received yesterday. It’s always humbling and it just pushes me to continually improve my craft. Noelle and Eric tied the knot on October 24, 2009. Thanks Noelle!

“Philip did an absolutely beautiful job with our engagement and wedding photos. It was difficult to choose what pictures we wanted for our album because he got so many fantastic shots. We barely noticed him the entire night and we were blown away by the pictures he got. The whole wedding was such a blur but because Philip did such an amazing job we have gorgous pictures to remember it by. I can’t recommend him enough!”

Yesterday, I arrived in downtown Houston to shoot Sarah and Andrew’s engagement session. This was a seriously fun shoot, as you can see from the pictures below. Sarah and Andrew are tying the knot February 13, 2010 and I’m really looking forward to photographing their special day.

See a few of my favorites below.

WEDDING: ASHLEY+CHRISTOPHER

The lovely Ashley and Chris tied the knot last Saturday at The Church of the Incarnate Word followed with their reception at The Witte Museum.

I just love this time of the year when the sun is lower in the sky and casts it’s lovely shadows and light. Their wedding was just gorgeous and fun to shoot. See below a few of my personal favorites.
