Is this you?

You want to experience the world with your person; not fill your life with things that sit on a shelf.

You want real emotion, but you also want direction. The kind that makes you feel comfortable but creates bold, cinematic photos you’re obsessed with.

You don’t want to be rushed by a timeline, you want space to breathe, feel, and be present.

You want a photographer who communicates fast, brings ideas, connects with your people, and feels like part of the day.

You love good stories, How I Met Your Mother, movie nights that turn into conversations, and songs like “Mr. Brightside” on the dance floor.

You want someone willing to show up anywhere your story goes, with no travel fees holding you back.

If that sounds like you, we’re a good fit.

About Roy The PHOTOGRAPHER

basically your wedding hype man with a camera

I’m Roy, your slightly (very) witty, zero-stress Phoenix wedding photographer.

I’ve been doing this for 10 years and photographed weddings across the U.S. and around the world. Big parties, tiny elopements, mountaintops, rooftops, storms, power outages; I adapt. Fast.

I give direction without making things weird, and I make people comfortable quickly—usually with jokes, good energy, and a camera in my hand. I’m here to create something real with you, not stage your whole day or turn it into a stiff photoshoot.

I built my collections to remove stress and make room for real moments: full-day coverage, no travel fees in the U.S., and fast delivery because good things take time, and stress kills creativity.

I do this because life moves pretty fast and I think the best parts are worth remembering.

Also, I’m definitely showing up with a cold Diet Coke. It’s part of my workflow now.

FAQ

Stuff you might ask…

I am based in Tempe, AZ just outside of Phoenix. However – I love to photograph new places.

Yes! Travel within the continental US is included in any full day collection. International travel is custom quoted but includes an extended shoot at the destination of choice.

Yes, and I’ll show you galleries from those if you are interested!

Yes! Those are typically half day coverage events – but travel is not included in those. So if the event is outside of Arizona, you may have a travel fee.

A full day wedding gallery is typically between 750-1000 images.

You are guaranteed delivery within 8 weeks, and can opt for 30 day delivery as an optional add on.

I use an online gallery system that has print ready images to download, ones for social media, and hand selected museum grade prints for your walls. (downloads are free, and encouraged)

This only happens in emergency situations but I have back up photographers vetted, and ready to step in. I will still edit your gallery and deliver as promised.

No, actually I don’t even like to book multiple weddings in one weekend! Your date is your date with me as your photographer.

A $1500 retainer and a signed contract officially locks in your date. That retainer comes out of the package price and is not additional.

This is one of the many reasons why I only photograph 20 weddings per year, it allows me to easily reschedule most couples without a date change fee. Cancellations must be made 60 days prior to the wedding.

For most couples, after the retainer the balance is due 60 days before the wedding. For weddings happening sooner than that, I do offer Afterpay as an option.

If I am familiar with the area I do! However in areas I haven’t traveled, I may reach out to colleagues and send you thier recommendations.

We have to! I do not work with anyone I haven’t personally met at least over a video or phone call. In person is preferred for me.

Absolutely! We offer pre-session consultations to discuss your ideas, preferences, and any specific requirements to ensure we capture exactly what you envision

I limit myself to around 20 weddings per year, and an additional 30 or so engagements or proposals.

Yes, we will go over a full gallery during our consultation.

No. I am a master photographer and feel that doing both hurts the end product of both. I only want to deliver the absolute best.

why work with me?

your day, your way.

If that means the Imperial march down the aisle or an engagement session in a plane. I’m here to help!

real is better than perfect.

Genuine laughter, emotion, and connection will be what you want to remember in 20 years, not awkward poses for the internet.

no redo button.

Every moment only happens once and your wedding will be treated that way. The things you care about, won’t be forgotten.

Why I love being a Phoenix wedding photographer

I believe in creating more than photos, but cultivating experience too.

Being a Phoenix wedding photographer keeps things exciting in the best way. This city has such a wide range of scenery, modern architecture downtown, desert views, mountains, and resorts tucked right into it all. I love that every couple brings me somewhere new, and every weekend feels completely different.

What I love most is that no two stories ever look the same here. I get to explore, chase light through new spaces, and document couples as they experience these places for the first time too. Traveling with them sometimes across the city, sometimes across the state lets me tell the full story of who they are and how the day really felt.
