Cultural and destination wedding photographer, Philip Thomas Photography
What a way to end a year and very humbled. Placed two images in the WPJA 2012 Q3 Wedding Photojournalist Association’s international contest. See them all here. Amazing shots and an honor to be mentioned. Both shots captured with my favorite camera, the sublime Leica M9 and a 35mm summilux f1.4.
Lovely little engagement session with a very good looking couple, Hanna and Drake from Indiana. These clicks were captured at the Japanese Tea Gardens, San Antonio. If you’re interested in a engagement session, drop me a line. Sessions are just $400 until the end of January and include a 16×20 print or selection of smaller…
Looking forward to Angela and ALex’s wedding next May! This time last week I traveled to Houston to shoot their engagement session in and around Herman Park. What a beautiful place and every time I visit the park, I find new parts I hadn’t seem before. The wedding will be in San Antonio ably put…

You’ve captured our family dynamic perfectly in the last photo…RJ looking smug at having harassed his sister successfully, my Aunt Katie looking disgusted, and Theresa, RJ’s wife laughing at his antics. And me, looking annoyed. Well done!

[...] Green Pastures. This was an outstanding brunch wedding and you can view their engagement session here. This was a small intimate wedding, the type of celebration I love to shoot. The challenges [...]
Amazing engagement session with Alex and Rose over the weekend in downtown Austin. We had many locations to cover and we managed just half of them before the light diminished as dusk approached. Looking forward to their greek wedding in Houston on November 24th. Here’s a few of my favorites below.
November 2, 2012 - 8:22 pm
WOW! These sneakpeaks are AWESOME! Thank you so much for capturing some awesome moments. It’s so neat to work with someone that is so incredibly talented, personable, & who LOVES his “job”. You were ON FIRE during the whole shoot & made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. Running up & down South Congress with you was so much fun! Cant wait to see more of your masterpieces and looking forward to our big day too! Best wedding choice thus far—our photographer Philip Thomas–for sure!
