Cultural and destination wedding photographer, Philip Thomas Photography
This is Ruby and Barry’s magnificent Indian wedding from June 1. Their lovely engagement session was shot a few weeks before and you can see it here. No words can tell you just how wonderful it was to work with these two amazing individuals. They fit together perfectly. Summer is here. Yippee! It’s been the busiest…
This was the day of the San Antonio record rains. And rain it did. My wife was kind enough to drop off at the Contessa Hotel downtown. Having not checked the news, we were glad we left early when we did as the main 281 road going downtown was flooded at Olmos Basin. The cool…

This lovely wedding was with Houston couple, Angela and Alex celebrating their wedding at Westin La Cantera Hill Country Resort and the Palmer Clubhouse in San Antonio, Texas.

A magical evening!

so, i’m looking at these again and have to make another comment. Was looking specifically at the ceremony photos and how you captured the look of pure joy on angela’s face and I have to say…I didn’t even see you on THAT side of the wedding party….you and your 2nd shooter are always so discreet and cognizant of guests and the fact that its a wedding and something to be treated with care…yet you still get the most incredible shots 
KUDOS!

James and Courtney’s wedding was at Carlton Woods and reception at Carlton Woods Creekside, The Woodlands, Texas just north of Houston. Congrats to both of them and even though the heavens opened in typical Texas spring fashion, that of-course didm’t dampen spirits. The skies got so dark at one point with heavy downpours it got a…
Chizene and Pejman’s wedding in Houston two weeks ago was simply amazing to me. I love to capture multicultural weddings and this was no exception. It was also a pleasure to work with Danyett again, from Two Be Wed. A team of wedding planners I’ve worked with many times in the past. Beautiful work and decor…

Ernie! Thanks so much.
Like Alex and Max’s wedding, I’m very fortunate to do what I do for a living. I get to shoot all types of cultural and destination weddings and this was no exception. Alex and Max’s wedding or ‘Malex’ as we now fondly call them was a Jewish ceremony at the Onmi Riverway in Houston on…

Hello Mr. Thomas,
Ms. Schneider recently shared the link to the photos from Alex & Max’s wedding. We were the provider of the Photofetti that was tossed in the last photo. All the photos are fabulous, it is a beautiful wedding with beautiful photos. We really appreciate the photo with the Photofetti being tossed it is a perfect photo, we don’t often get to see photos from the events that our product is used, so this is a special treat for us. I have asked Ms. Schneider for a copy of the photo to keep in our files and also possibly for future promotional use, which of course we would give you full credit for the Photography. Thank you so much for sharing your photographic talent, It is obvious that you are an excellent photographer.
Best regards,
