Please note that due to an upcoming move out of state, I'm no longer accepting NC wedding inquiries. Growing weary in the search for the right photographer? Maybe interactions are feeling kinda transactional, you just can't picture yourself in the galleries you're seeing, or you're tired of hearing we all love pizza, margs, and wine nights? Now I don't want to start of this relationship with a lie...I honestly love those things too. BUT, as you search for the right person to capture your loved ones, your growing kiddos, or your big day, who can blame you for wanting to connect a little deeper?

If you've made it here, I'm guessing your wedding doesn't look like a Pinterest board full of blush and neutral linen. Good. A queer-led creative director, day-of coordinator, and the person who actually wants to hear about your weird, specific, beautiful vision and then make it happen without you having to manage a single vendor text on your wedding day. Here's what I do: I show up before anyone else, I run the whole day so you don't have to, and I become the wall between you and every vendor question, every logistical hiccup, and every moment that threatens to pull you out of your own wedding. You get to be present. That's the whole point.

At Fancy This Photography, my goal is to capture the essence of who you are on the most important day of your life. When I got married, my first concern with hiring a photographer is that they understood the fun and unique side of who I was, and could capture that. I want the same thing for you. My passion is working with couples who want something a bit out of the ordinary for their wedding. The couple that’s real, the one who’s willing to be exactly who they are. The one who puts their relationships as top priority, and who want the people who are most special to them in the world to witness the joy of their wedding.

Hey! I'm Phillip, a Durham-based commercial Cinematographer that brings that bold energy from big household known-brands into wedding films! We fell in love with filming weddings, but noticed that modern wedding films feel flat, slowly-paced, and boring. Then we asked ourselves: Why don’t we bring that boldness and energy from commercial projects into our wedding films? Storytelling is everything in wedding films. Every couple’s love story is unique and intimate. We utilize immersive camera movements, energetic music, and captured vows/speeches to craft films that are truly cinematic. Let's set up a chat and talk about your love story!

This storyteller believes that your wedding day shouldn't feel like a photo shoot, but should be full of genuine moments that are unique to your love story. As a fly on the wall with a photojournalist style, I am less concerned about "blog worthy" shots and more about the candids that show who you are and who you love. I find importance in preserving fleeting moments and the importance of printing photos, not just letting them live in an online gallery.
