    Worth the Wait!

    Even before I was engaged, I always knew I wanted Philip Siciliano as my wedding photographer. His work speaks for itself! He was the one thing I was adamant on for our wedding. As crazy as it may sound, I booked him the day after my engagement for my wedding with no other details solidified other than the day (almost 3 years away). From our first meeting to our engagement shoot to our wedding day, Philip was nothing but professional, easy going, and flexible. He took the time to meet with me to discuss plans A-Z for the wedding with COVID leaving everyone in the unknown. The day of the wedding, he was very relaxed and made me feel very much at ease. My husband, who is not a fan of taking pictures, was extremely pleased with Philip and his crew. The photographs I have seen were nothing less than perfect! It may have taken almost 3 years of waiting with my dream photographer, but it was well worth the wait! Brides, Philip is the photographer you need for your wedding day! Wedding pictures are forever and he provides you with timeless photographs and wonderful memories!

    No better photographer than Phil

    I knew I wanted Phil to be my photographer before I even got engaged, I always admired his work and the way that he captured every bride and groom in a way that was unique to them. Phil has a vision and I swear sees things that other people just don’t. He sees beauty in places where others don’t. I trusted Phil’s vision enough that some of my wedding photos were taken in the parking lot of my wedding venue lol. Not only is he an amazing photographer but he makes you feel so comfortable that day & it feels like you’re just hanging out with your friend who loves to take photos. He is truly one of the most talented wedding photographers ever and you would be making a mistake if you didn’t use him for your wedding - no one is better, nicer, and more invested in capturing you and your husband than Phil. From the start he told me he wanted to be the easiest person I worked with that day & after being a 2020 COVID bride I can say he 100% was. Your photos are literally the only thing you get to take away from your wedding & Phil kills it every single time he does a wedding. Can’t thank Phil enough for the amazing job he did & will continue to rave about him to everyone !!!

    The Ultimate Ring-leader!

    Phil single-handedly kept my wife and I afloat during the chaotic year of 2020, reassuring us that all would turn out well. He was with us every step of the way with honesty, humor, positivity, and flexibility. The pictures were phenomenal and Phil's eye for creative shots made every moment of our wedding day a wonderful memory. He showed great dedication during the pandemic and we look forward to him shooting our postponed reception as well.

    The Best!!!!

    We loved working with Philip!! We wanted someone that created art with his or her photographs – not someone who was going to take the usual posed photos. We have SO MANY cool shots from the wedding that are actual art. Philip is also really easy to work with and tells you exactly what to do to get the shot you want. He was always on time (we had him do our engagement shoot as well), professional, and he put everyone at ease. Our wedding was in early January so we were nervous about the weather, but Philip made it easy to relax because he always had another plan in place. We also appreciated that he got photos of our bridal party, but specifically took a long time with just the bride and groom. Those are the photos we’ll cherish the most. If you are looking to capture the memories, but also have more interesting photos than the typical wedding, go with Philip!

    The best wedding photographer ever!

    My Husband and I have known Phil was going to be our wedding photographer from our very first encounter with him 5 years prior where he photographed by chance both of our sisters engagement & wedding festivities. The #1 choice in wedding photography!! Phil truly has an eye like no other that can capture the most breathtaking & timeless photos! We cannot thank you enough for capturing our love so beautifully from our engagement shoot to our wedding day. Our one & ONLY choice for a wedding photographer!!

    Incredible

    Phil was amazing. His quality of work speaks for itself and his energy throughout the whole day was just wonderful to be around. My husband and I would HIGHLY recommend Philip Siliciano to anyone and everyone.

    Photos worth a thousand words

    After we got engaged, we had decided to take our time with our wedding planning. We wanted to really take in and enjoy this time together. However, we waited no time to check Philip’s availability and put down our deposit. I had seen his work a few years ago via a good friend of mine. I was inspired by his photos and knew it would be those pictures that would create the memories that would recreate our special day for years to come.
    Philip made the day of super easy and all about us. He is not only funny but also makes you feel like you’ve been friends a long time. Most importantly, his work speaks for itself. Our pictures are amazing; just what I had hoped for and more. He made even the snow a catalyst for a shot worth the precipitation and weather day of. I would highly recommend Philip and his crew again to anyone who wants to invest in their future photos. To us, it was the most important and best decision we made for our wedding. Philip, thank you a million times.

    Philip was the absolute best photographer I could have chosen. The photos alone are worth a million dollars, the experience and Philip (and his assistant Chris's) friendly demeanor only made things better. We must have laughed the whole day long. I would recommend Philip to anyone looking for an excellent photographer for the most amazing wedding photos. I would also recommend booking him ASAP, I know a friend of mine tried to book him for her wedding next fall and he is already booked :) I cannot say enough good things about Philip and the work he does!

    To me the photographer is probably THE most important vendor to choose. It was also the vendor I wanted to choose early on and with our wedding being 2-1/2 yrs away from being first engaged we had the luxury of taking our time to meet with numerous photographers. Being that my fiance and I are paying for the entire wedding ourselves we also had to be realistic and strict about our budget while still searching for QUALITY. After meeting with quite a few photographers we were caught in between those in our budget but work was certainly not what we wanted or those way above our budget whose work was just OKAY and all you were really paying for at the end of the day was the tons of photo books, thank you cards and all those little extras they throw at you- no thank you. Knowing that I was starting to feel a little disappointed in what had been presented to us my future mother in law provided the name Philip Siciliano and told me to give him a try. Well I can happily say my mother in law was right! Philip is the type of professional that lays everything out there for you and is honest. He doesn't sugar coat anything or manipulate you to believe you need every photo book, thank you card and any extra imaginable just to milk you for your money. His work speaks for itself and even before he took our engagement photos I knew in my heart when we booked him that if we made any right decision for this wedding (other than marrying one another of course) it would most definitely be choosing him as our photographer. A little over a week ago we took our engagement photos and from the first few we were given a glimpse of all I, as well as many of our family and friends, can say is WOW WOW WOW STUNNING! He took a normal walk in the park on a rainy day and turned it into ART! I truly can not wait to see what tricks he pulls out for our wedding!! Just knowing that once everything is said and done and his work is all we have to look back on for forever makes me the most happiest bride!

    Phil is not your average wedding photographer, he's an artist. He's absolutely fantastic to work with and keeps the mood light so that everyone stays laughing and looks their best in their photos. I'm a type A bride, so when he noticed that I was getting a little stressed he calmed me down and made jokes to relax me. We had a lot of laughs that day and a lot of fun taking the photos. My bridal party and all of our family loved working with Phil on our day. Phil works magic and just finds the most beautiful and interesting ways to frame a shot. We had to scrap our location for wedding photos due to torrential rain, but Phil found some beautiful spots for us to take photos. I honestly can't say enough about him. Our photos were more beautiful than we could have ever dreamed they would be. We loved spending our day with Phil (and his 2nd shooter Anthony). Everyone who sees our wedding photos can't stop complimenting how gorgeous they are. We got our photos so fast after the wedding and we can't wait to see our album! I recommend Phil to everyone I know who is getting married. There's no one better!

    Every girl wants a great photographer to capture her on the day she looks her very best. We search through hundreds and hundreds of photographers by looking at their pictures online, Pinterest ideas, wedding site reviews and referrals from friends... And yes, I did all of the above. But then...

    My friend recommended this guy who hadn't come up in any of my searches.. He had actually only entered the wedding photography business less than a couple years before and according to her, he had a crazy eye for creativity..

    Before I actually met with him, I had compiled a list of 6 photographers, him being included. New as he was, he was on the pricier side of that list (but still within range that you'd expect to pay for a good photographer). I emailed the list that only included names and websites in no particular order to my 9 bridesmaids, mom, and dad with a voting request...

    Needless to say, he was overwhelmingly the number one pick.

    He was booked- it was a no brainer - he's simply the best. We booked our engagement shoot and wedding that week. Our pictures were BREATHTAKING! He is not your typical photographer. He finds ways to capture you and your love but also the beauty of environment surrounding you. The energy of the world around you somehow feeds itself into his lens and out into the most incredible pictures.

    His tag line (and so well fitted) is #makeitlookdifferent , and different he makes it look- in a lose your breath, raise your eyebrows, widen your eyes because you can't believe what you're looking at sort of way. Don't believe me? Check out his website and see for yourself. (www.philipsicilianophotography.com/blog)

    He's not just a wedding photographer... He's a genius with a camera, top notch lens, and a really great eye. Thank God he likes taking pictures too...

    Philip Sciciliano did our engagement photos and was absolutely amazing! He was fun to work with, and managed to capture the most surreal photos we've ever seen. We had our shoot at the New York City Public Library in Bryant Park, and then moved on to Times Square. He is extremely creative and was able to combine my desire for a " fairy tale" theme with our venue's architectural beauty, to create STUNNING shots. Most importantly, my fiance who is not one for the camera had a blast during the shoot! I couldn't have asked for a more AMAZING photographer.

    I hired Philip Siciliano for my wedding in November of last year. We took our pictures at Historic Richmond Town and they came out beautifully! I couldn't have asked for a better experience! He is really personable and funny. We had a blast taking our pictures!

    We love Phil!

    Phil is an incredibly talented photographer and we truly enjoyed working with him. The day can be really nerve-racking, and Phil made us feel at ease. He works very quickly, so you can get a lot of pictures in during a short amount of time. He also has a very artistic flare, and your photos will not be the bread and butter, typical photos you would expect on your wedding day (although he will give you the traditional stuff, too)!. He is funny, flexible, and timely. We highly recommend him!
