Documentary-Style Photography for Couples Who Want to Feel the Day as It Unfolds
SEASONALLY IN NEW ENGLAND
TRAVELING WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER
BASED IN ST. AUGUSTINE, FL
Wedding photography for couples who want to remember how it felt.
I photograph weddings and engagements with a blend of documentary awareness and editorial direction. I’ll step in to help you feel comfortable and confident, then step back so real connection and candid moments can happen without interruption.
The result is imagery that feels natural, balanced, and timeless.
Intentional. Cohesive. Never forced.
Based in Florida and available for travel, I work with couples who value both the experience and the images — those who want to feel present on their wedding day while knowing they’re being well taken care of.
If you’re drawn to photographs that feel effortless, meaningful, and worth revisiting years from now — you’re in the right place.
IMAGINE...
Your engagement and wedding day photographed with intention — guided when needed, and unobtrusive when it matters most.
I step in to direct with purpose, then step back to let moments unfold naturally. The result is imagery that feels composed, effortless, and emotionally true.
A cohesive gallery that reflects the rhythm of the day — the quiet in-between moments, the energy, the connection — captured with care and restraint.
Images you return to not just for how they look, but for how they bring you back.
This is photography that balances presence and polish.
Thoughtful direction. Honest storytelling. Done properly.
"She left us speechless"
Our experience with Phavy exceeded our expectations! She was so easy to work with. From the engagement to the wedding, she made sure we were comfortable! Our family and guests loves her too!
Within a week of our wedding, we received a package at the door and it was our physical wedding album!! A WEEK!!! Shortly after the delivery, we received an email with a link to our full gallery. All of it was so beautiful! We were left speechless. Phavy really pours her heart and soul into her work and it shows!"

My style is a mix of candid and documentary. I aim to capture the real, emotional moments as they happen while also creating beautiful, timeless portraits that feel authentic and true to you.
What style of photography do you specialize in?
A second photographer is available upon request and is often recommended for larger weddings. This allows us to capture more moments from different perspectives, ensuring nothing is missed.

Do you travel for weddings outside of St. Augustine?
Yes! I’m based in St. Augustine but love traveling for destination weddings. I've done weddings in New England, California, all over Georgia and Florida. Whether your wedding is in another part of Florida or across the country, I’m happy to discuss options for travel.
The number of photos varies depending on the length of coverage and the size of your wedding, but for a full day of coverage, you can expect to receive 600-800 edited images.
How many photos will we receive?
During busy season, you can expect to receive your edited wedding photos within 6-8 weeks after your wedding, but typically it takes 4-6 weeks ro receive your photos.
How long will it take to receive our wedding photos?
Yes! I offer engagement sessions either as part of a wedding package or on their own. Engagement sessions are a great way for us to get to know each other and help you feel more comfortable in front of the camera before the big day.
Do you offer engagement sessions?
My packages typically include coverage on your wedding day, high-resolution edited images, an online gallery for easy sharing, and options for wedding albums or prints. I also offer customizable packages that can include engagement sessions, second photographers, or extra hours of coverage.
What is included in your wedding photography packages?
It’s best to book your photographer as soon as you have your date and venue locked in. Popular dates can fill up more than a year in advance, so booking early ensures you secure your date with Phavy Photography. Currently we are booking brides into the end of 2026.
