Hi, I’m Phavy, providing professional photography in St. Augustine, FL! Weddings are my specialty and I’m passionate about capturing love stories in a way that feels authentic and timeless. With over 10 years of experience photographing weddings, I understand how to make your special day stress-free and full of joy.
Every bride has a vision of how perfect her day will be, and I want to be able to freeze that time for you. Capturing your wedding day starts with aligning our visions. Every wedding is unique, and I’m committed to making sure that my approach reflects the love story you want to tell.
My photography experience has taught me that the best images come from mutual understanding. It’s essential that your vision guides my work. I invest time in truly understanding what you value most—whether it’s capturing candid moments, elegant bride and groom portraits, lots of memories of the family, or intimate details. I encourage my clients to keep me in the loop and text me whenever. This not only our bond together, but it will make your wedding day more comfortable with me.
Though I’m based in St. Augustine, I love traveling and have photographed weddings in cities like Jacksonville, Savannah, and beyond. No matter the location, my goal remains the same—capturing your love story in a way that’s personal and authentic.

"Professional and amazing photographer"
Ready to book?
A signed contract and a 30% non-refundable retainer fee. The remainder of the balance is due 30 days before your wedding date.
What's your requirement to book a wedding package?
Wherever the heart desires! I love traveling. And I love taking photos in different places. I love photographing in St. Augustine and Jacksonville, however it's great to break away to a new destination! I've been from coast to coast - from California to Massachusetts! I would love you to take me wherever your wedding destination will be :).
Do You travel To Other Destinations?
Once your wedding photos are done, it will be uploaded onto an online gallery. You will receive a link to the online gallery via e-mail. I will also send you a text just to make sure you get it!
How will our Wedding photos be Delivered?
After each wedding, the gallery is entered into a queue for editing. I edit each gallery in the order of when the wedding took place.
To make my editing process quicker, I try to shoot as perfectly as I could from the camera. With post processing I do minor retouching, such as color correcting, cropping, and minor blemish removal. If you have any special retouching requests, we can discuss them, though extensive retouching may come with an additional fee.
Each wedding gallery will typically take 4-6 to be delivered, for busier seasons it will take 6-8 weeks. I understand you are excited to receive your wedding photos and I work diligently through each gallery. If you would like your wedding gallery much sooner, I do provide rush delivery for a fee.
What's your editing process?
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, my experience includes Catholic weddings (I am Catholic myself), Indian weddings, and Khmer weddings. I understand how important it is to hire someone who already understands the traditions well and I would love to be your photographer!
SO MANY THINGS!! All the little and big details. Getting ready for bride with bridesmaids as well as groom and groomsmen, detail shots (which includes everything you provide me such as shoes, perfume, rings, veil, dress, and more) bridal/groom formals before the wedding, the first look if you decide to have one, private vows, the cermeony, details of the ceremony and reception (room setup and decor), formal portraits of the wedding party, the family, and bride and groom together, wedding entrance, first dance, father-daughter dance, mother-son dance, cake cutting, whatever traditions you may have, the exit, and so much more!
Do you have experience with other traditions?
What do you typical photograph on a wedding day?
Most definitely! Most packages actually includes a second photographer to ensure extra coverage of your wedding day! My second photographers are all professionals and normally weddings on their own. I make sure to bring only the best!
Do you recommend a second photographer?
I strive to be the best wedding photographer for my clients. I love my clients and I get along with pretty much everyone. For the most part, I am laid back. However, I make sure I do what I can to get the job done without being disruptive on the wedding day. Rather than having a "photoshoot" on your wedding day, I make the day about you but capturing more candids than posed photos -- documentary style.

My style is all about capturing your wedding day as it naturally unfolds. I’m not into stiff posing or overly curated shots; I focus on those real, candid moments—like the way you look at each other during the vows or the laughter you share with your friends and family. I aim to tell your story in a way that feels authentic and true to who you are.
I love working with natural light to create bright, timeless images that highlight the genuine emotions of the day. My goal is to make sure your vision shines through in every shot, so we can capture the day exactly how you imagined it.

What’s your photography style?
Yes, absolutely! I always encourage couples to view a full wedding gallery. It’s important because it gives you a complete picture of how I document the entire day—not just the highlight moments. You’ll get to see everything from getting ready to the reception, including how I handle different lighting situations, candid shots, and family portraits. This helps you understand my consistency and attention to detail across the entire event. Plus, it shows how I capture those meaningful in-between moments that might not always make it to a social media post but are just as special.

I’ve been photographing weddings for 14 years now, and in the past three years, I’ve photographed around 40 to 50 weddings each year. This experience has given me the chance to work with a wide variety of couples, locations, and wedding styles, allowing me to adapt quickly and capture the day beautifully, no matter the circumstances.

Of course! I encourage couples to provide a shot list for important family photos. This helps ensure that we capture all the key moments and everyone you want in those photos. It's especially helpful to have this list ahead of time so we can work efficiently on the day and make sure no one gets left out. Plus, it allows us to focus on the candid moments that naturally unfold around those posed shots!

Before the wedding day, I’ll send out a questionnaire to gather all the important details. This will include information like your point of contact, wedding planner details, and the timeline for the day. Having this information helps me plan effectively and ensures we’re all on the same page, making for a smooth and organized experience. Your input is invaluable in capturing your day exactly how you envision it!
