Phil has been shooting film since 2014.
Hey, I’m Phil — a film photographer based in St. Augustine, Florida. I started shooting film because I fell in love with the way it slows everything down — how every frame matters, how light and imperfection tell a story no digital filter can touch. My work is about capturing real moments with texture and soul — the laughter between poses, the stillness of golden hour, the details that make your story yours. Whether it’s a quiet family morning, an engagement by the water, or a celebration downtown, I approach every session with care, intention, and a love for the timeless craft of film.

Light. Truth.
a moment that stays
—
Inspired by the simplicity and honesty of Hemingway’s prose, this philosophy is about capturing life as it is — unposed, imperfect, and deeply human. It’s the belief that a single frame can hold the weight of memory; that light, texture, and emotion are enough. Every image is crafted with intention, stripped of distraction, and made to last long after the moment has passed.
Authenticity
Real moments matter — no forced poses, no filters, just genuine connection on film.
Patience
Good things take time — from waiting for the perfect light to letting the film breathe before it’s seen.
Craft
Every roll is shot, developed, and edited by hand with care and precision.
Story
Each frame is a chapter — together they tell something true, something worth remembering.
Simplicity
Film invites focus — less noise, more feeling, more soul.
Legacy
What we capture today becomes tomorrow’s nostalgia — made to be felt for generations.
