Congratulations!
First of all, congratulations on your engagement! Whether you're a 2025, or 2026 bride I’m so excited for you as you begin this wonderful journey. I’m Phavy, a professional wedding photographer serving St. Simons and Jekyll Island, 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!
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 centers on authenticity, emotion, and storytelling. I believe the most beautiful photos are the ones that capture who you truly are — the genuine moments, real emotions, and special details that make your love story unique.
I aim to create timeless, classic images that feel real and natural. I love capturing those candid moments when you forget the camera is even there — from the laughter with your bridesmaids to the look of love in your partner’s eyes and the joyful tears from your parents. These are the moments that matter, telling the story of your day in a way that feels authentic and heartfelt.
With a light, airy aesthetic, I use natural light and soft, flattering tones to highlight your beauty and the stunning scenery of St. Simons and Jekyll Island. Whether it’s the majestic oak trees, golden beaches, or romantic coastal views, these elements enrich your wedding story, bringing out the unique vibe of your celebration. My photos feel fresh and vibrant, capturing the joy, laughter, and love that define your day.
I combine documentary-style photography, where I capture moments as they unfold naturally, with gentle artistic direction, helping you feel comfortable and look your best while still feeling like yourselves. It’s a blend of storytelling and artistry, capturing your love’s essence with an editorial edge.
I want your photos to feel like you — genuine, joyful, and full of life. When you look back at your album, I want you to relive every emotion — the excitement, love, laughter, and joy. My goal is to create images that are not only beautiful but also meaningful, preserving your story in a way that’s true to you.
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 $6,500. 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. Simons 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!

I’m always up for an adventure! Whether you’re planning a romantic beachside ceremony on St. Simons Island, a dreamy wedding on Jekyll Island, or a celebration somewhere new, I’m all in.

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 :).
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!
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.
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, 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!
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!
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.

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.

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!
