Congratulations!

Capturing Your Perfect Day: Wedding Photographer in St. Augustine and Beyond

capturing your Big day

First of all, congratulations on your engagement! Whether you're a 2024, 2025, or 2026 bride I’m so excited for you as you begin this wonderful journey. I’m Phavy, your local Wedding Photographer in St. Augustine, and I’m here to help make your wedding day everything you’ve dreamed of — and capture every magical moment along the way.

I know your wedding day is one of the most important days of your life, filled with love, laughter, maybe a few happy tears, and a million little moments that you’ll want to remember forever. My job? To be there for all of it. I’m all about capturing those real, genuine moments — the ones that make your heart flutter. I want your photos to be better than your pinterest board, feel like you, to tell the unique story of your love, and to bring back all those wonderful emotions every time you look at them.

Hey There, Beautiful Bride!

Why Choose Me as Your Wedding Photographer?

I've been photographing weddings for over 10 years now, and I genuinely love every single part of it. From the nerves before the ceremony to the heartfelt vows, the crazy dance moves, and those sweet, quiet moments in between — I am here for all of it. I know that every couple is unique, and I’m all about making sure your photos feel just as special as your love story.

We’ll kick things off with a chat — I want to hear all about you! How you met, what you love about each other, what makes you laugh, and what your vision is for your wedding day. Are you dreaming of a big, elegant affair with all your friends and family, or maybe a more intimate celebration with just your closest loved ones? I want to know it all! This helps me get a sense of who you are and how I can best capture your day in a way that feels authentic to you.

On your wedding day, I’ll be there every step of the way, blending into the background like a ninja with a camera (a friendly ninja, I promise!) so I can capture all those beautiful, spontaneous moments without you even realizing it. But don’t worry, I’m also great at stepping in and guiding you through those posed shots when needed, making sure you feel comfortable and look amazing. I’ll help you laugh, relax, and just be yourselves — because the best photos happen when you’re truly enjoying the moment.

When it comes to capturing your wedding day, my style is all about authenticity, emotion, and storytelling. I believe that the most beautiful photos are the ones that reflect who you truly are — the genuine moments, the real emotions, and the little details that make your love story unique.

I aim to create images that feel timeless and classic. I love capturing those candid moments when you forget the camera is even there — the laughter you share with your bridesmaids, the look of love in your partner’s eyes, the tears of joy from your parents, and all the moments in between. These are the moments that matter the most and tell the story of your day in a way that feels natural and real.

I lean towards a light, airy aesthetic, with an emphasis on natural light and soft, flattering tones that highlight your natural beauty and the stunning environment around you. I love using the beautiful scenery here in St. Augustine — from the golden beaches to the charming historic streets — as a backdrop to bring out the unique vibe of your celebration. My photos aim to feel fresh and vibrant, capturing the joy, laughter, and love that makes your wedding day so special.

My approach is a mix of documentary-style photography, where I capture events as they unfold naturally, and artistic direction, where I gently guide you into poses that feel comfortable and relaxed, making sure you look your absolute best while still feeling like yourselves. Think of it as a blend of storytelling and fine art, capturing the essence of your love with an editorial edge.

I want your photos to feel like you — genuine, joyful, and full of life. When you look back at your wedding album years from now, I want you to feel everything all over again — the excitement, the love, the laughter, and the joy. My style is about creating images that are not only beautiful but also meaningful, capturing your story in a way that feels true to who you are.

My Photography Style: Timeless, Authentic, and Joyful

Why Experience Matters More Than You Might Think

Customizable Wedding Packages Designed Just for You

I know there are tons of photographers out there, and choosing the right one can feel like a daunting task. But here’s the thing: experience matters — a lot. Weddings are dynamic, unpredictable, and often a bit of a whirlwind. An experienced photographer knows how to handle whatever comes their way with grace and confidence, ensuring that everything is captured beautifully, no matter what.

From the first moment you slip into your dress to the final dance of the night, I’m there to make sure all the big moments are documented, but also those tiny little details — the ones that you might not even notice in the flurry of activity but will mean so much when you see them in your photos later. I’m talking about the tear in your dad’s eye as he sees you in your gown, the giggle between you and your partner as you steal a glance during the ceremony, the way your guests’ faces light up during your first dance. These are the moments that truly matter.

And I get it — weddings are fast-paced, with so much happening all at once. That’s why hiring someone who’s been through it all and knows how to be in the right place at the right time is key. You’ll feel so much more relaxed knowing that I’ve got your back and won’t miss a thing. I’ll be there, quietly capturing it all, so you can live in the moment without worrying about the photography. Your job is to have the time of your life, and mine is to make sure you have a collection of incredible photos that will transport you back to those moments again and again.

Every couple and every wedding is one of a kind, which is why I offer fully customizable packages starting at $3,000. I want your wedding photography experience to feel as unique as your love story. We’ll work together to create a package that’s just right for you — whether that means an engagement session to celebrate this exciting time, multiple photographers to capture every angle of your big day, or even a fun photo booth to keep your guests entertained!

Are you dreaming of an engagement session to capture those pre-wedding jitters and excitement? Let's set up a session in your favorite location — whether that's at a coffee shop where you had your first date, a park you both love, or the beach at sunset. These sessions are all about getting comfortable with me and my camera, having a little fun, and getting some gorgeous, relaxed shots that show who you are as a couple.

If your wedding is going to be a bigger event or involves multiple locations, having an extra set of eyes (or two) can make all the difference. Adding a second or third photographer means we won’t miss a beat, and you’ll get a wider range of perspectives and moments captured — from the groom’s face as he waits for his bride to the laughter and tears of your family and friends.

Want to spice up your reception? A photo booth is a fantastic way to bring a little extra fun to your celebration! Your guests can snap silly, candid photos that become instant keepsakes. Plus, I offer beautifully designed guestbooks and heirloom-quality albums that showcase all the love, laughter, and joy of your wedding day. These are perfect for flipping through on a cozy evening with a cup of tea, reliving the moments that made your day so special.

Whatever you envision, I’m here to help make it happen. We’ll craft a package that suits your style, your needs, and your budget, ensuring you get everything you want from your wedding photography and nothing you don’t.


Let’s Make Some Magic Together!


I’m truly passionate about what I do, and I’d be so honored to be a part of your wedding day. Your love story is unique, and it deserves to be captured in a way that’s true to you. I promise to bring my heart, my creativity, and my full attention to every moment of your day, so you can enjoy every second, knowing your memories are in good hands.

So, let’s get to know each other! Let’s grab a coffee (or hey, a glass of wine if that’s more your style!) and chat about all the exciting details of your day. I’m here to answer any questions you have, share my ideas, and hear all about yours. Whether you’re looking for a Wedding Photographer in St. Augustine or planning a wedding anywhere else, I’d love to be there to capture your special day.

Can’t wait to hear from you and start this adventure together!


more than a st. augustine wedding photographer - Wherever Your Love Takes You, I’m There!

I’m based in the stunningly beautiful St. Augustine, but I’m always up for an adventure! Whether you’re planning a romantic beachside ceremony here in our lovely city, or you have your heart set on a destination wedding in another dreamy location, I’m all in. I love traveling to capture love stories in new places — from the rolling hills of a vineyard, the grandeur of a mountain lodge, to the soft sand of a tropical beach, or even the hustle and bustle of a vibrant cityscape.

St. Augustine is my home base, and I know it like the back of my hand. I know the perfect spots for those golden-hour shots and where the light hits just right to make you look radiant. Whether you want the historic charm of downtown, the natural beauty of the beaches, or the lush greenery of our parks, I’ve got you covered. But my skills go beyond my hometown. Wherever you’re planning to say “I do,” I’ll do all the location scouting and prep work to find those perfect places for your photos.

Traveling for weddings is one of my favorite things to do because it allows me to explore new places, meet wonderful people, and capture love in all its beautiful forms. It doesn’t matter if it’s just around the corner or halfway around the world — I’m there with you, capturing every moment, big and small.

Meet Phavy

of Phavy Photography

Hi, I’m Phavy, a professional wedding photographer based in beautiful 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.

If you’re looking for a wedding photographer who values collaboration and understands the importance of aligning visions, I’d love to chat. Together, we’ll create beautiful, timeless memories of your special day.

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 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.

Before the wedding day, I’ll send out a questionnaire to gather all the important details.

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!
