Contact Philip Thomas

A former press photographer from Britain, I moved to Texas in 2006 and am available for weddings in Texas and internationally.

I bring images that celebrate your beauty and all the magical moments of your wedding day. Working artfully and unobtrusively, I shoot from the heart to capture stand-alone photographs that are beautifully timeless and always at the height of style.

Over the last twenty years, a winner of over 90 international awards from the WPJA, ISPWP, This Is Reportage, and Fearless.

Where are you located? Do you charge a travel fee for weddings not in your location?

Beyond San Antonio and Austin, Texas, I charge a travel fee.

How long have you been in business? How many weddings have you photographed as the main photographer?

Est. 2006. Over 500 weddings captured.

Describe your "style" of wedding photography.

A former press photographer, my love for photography runs deep — that and coffee 24/7 with my fast-paced family life. I'm a documentary wedding photographer capturing powerful, evocative images and the life and emotion of your wedding day.

What's the typical wedding coverage package that you offer? What is the price?

I start at $5000. A typical collection includes 8 hours of coverage, a second shooter, high-resolution files without albums, priced at $ 6,500, and albums starting at $ 9,000. Beyond San Antonio, the rates go up to cover travel. NDA coverage also available for discreet couples.

Do you have a studio where we can meet in-person?

Presently via Zoom only. I have a studio located in north central San Antonio.

What are your professional degrees, credentials, affiliations? Have you taken any recent educational workshops or classes?

Member of the PPA. I also present educational seminars to photographers.

Is there anything else you'd like to share about yourself?

I'm an Englishman in Texas, a dad, husband, cook, and long-distance runner. I am also a San Antonio–based Unit Stills + BTS photographer for film / TV serving Austin + Central Texas.
