Documentary wedding films that feel like elevated home movies.

The day goes fast. The film slows it down.

I shoot weddings the way you’d make a documentary: quietly, without staging anything, paying as much attention to your people as to the plan. Around the corner or a long flight away, I’m glad to be there.

Hi, I’m Phil

Over ten years of making films, and weddings have been the heart of it the whole time.

I mix Super 8 film and old-school camcorder footage into my films, so yours feels like a home movie someone really cared about. The moments people rewatch are almost never the planned ones. It’s the aside, the laugh that cracks, the thing that goes slightly wrong.

Everything else gets covered too. That’s just the part I actually care about.
