A photographer who guides you all the way, so nothing feels forced and no moment is missed.
Documentary Wedding Photographer for Couples Who Want to Feel Their Day Again
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.
"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 (within minutes), we received an email with a link to our full gallery. All of it was so beautiful! We were left speechless. Everything was so intentional. Phavy really pours her heart and soul into her work and it shows!"
CLIENT TESTIMONIAL
I hired my wedding photographer because his pictures were beautiful, and they were. But there was no plan, nobody asked what we wanted, and we never got a single photo of just the two of us. Early in my career, I was that same photographer. Now I know the experience matters as much as the photos: when you feel guided and taken care of, you relax, and it shows in every frame. With more than 15 years of experience, I photograph your day as it unfolds while still guiding you through it, so the photos that matter most never get missed.
My Mission
I focus on creating images that are meant to be felt, not just looked at.

Yes, I am fully insured, which is often required by venues. If your venue needs proof of insurance, I can provide that information to them directly.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
