Phil was amazing. A few friends and decided to have a photo shoot to celebrate our girls trip to Paris. We booked Tuesday evening for an early Wednesday shoot. It was super last minute but Phil was incredibly accommodating. He was quick to respond Tuesday evening to get all the details ironed out so we would have the best experience possible and maximize the time together. He made each lady feel like a star. He took us to amazing locations and got adventurous and captured photos of us strutting down the middle of the street in front of the Eiffel Tower. The most impressive part, however, is that he got the pictures back to us NEXT DAY!!! Amazing. And they were absolutely stunning. It's been 3 days and we still can't narrow down our selection. Shot after shot was beautiful. Phil is a star. And the next time I come to a Paris I'll be booking him for my next shoot. Penny read more

Such a pleasure working with Phil! He gave excellent advice on the best time for our photoshoot, which was especially helpful since it took place at the Louvre and can get quite busy. He was great at directing poses and made us feel completely comfortable throughout the session. Phil even checked in the day before to let us know about potential delays due to protests, which we really appreciated. Highly recommend him! read more

We had such a wonderful experience with Phil during our family trip to Paris. He was incredibly accommodating and somehow managed to capture beautiful, natural shots--even when we weren't trying! He worked seamlessly with our toddler and baby, which made the whole process enjoyable and stress-free. Beyond the photo session, his customer service has been excellent. Even after I accidentally let our photo links expire, he was quick and kind in helping us regain access. He also went above and beyond by giving us great recommendations for places our family might enjoy during our visit. We would gladly book Phil again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer in Paris! read more

Such a pleasure to work with such a great photographer and Phil's communication was incredible. Pictures came out better than I ever expected and with the Olympics coming to town (and best photo spots blocked) Phil knew exactly where to get the best available shots. Thank you so much for creating such beautiful memories for us!!! read more

My husband and I wanted to capture our 10 year wedding anniversary and we are so happy to have worked with Phil. He was one of the most incredible, caring, and kind photographers out there. I loved that we were able to share both our stories to make our photoshoot easy and natural. We were able to take multiple shots around the city in 2 hours and they all turned out better than we could have imagined. Phil knows all the beautiful shots around the city and you can customize it however you like. I would not hesitate to work with Phil when you're in Paris! read more

We did a 1-hr maternity photo shoot with Phil while traveling through Paris and I cannot recommend his services enough! Our trip was booked last minute and our schedule was pretty tight, but Phil was very flexible and accommodating with our itinerary. We were thrilled with how our photos came out, especially with our almost 2-year old son who looks like he's having the time of his life in almost every picture. If you're thinking of a photo shoot in Paris for any occasion, Phil should be your top choice! read more

Phil is amazing! He takes the most amazing photos and is so easy to work with. My daughter and I truly enjoyed our two location photo shoot with him in November.

We had such a fantastic experience working with Phil during our recent vacation to Paris. The communication was great and scheduling a breeze; the day of he was on-time and so easy to work with and made the experience a lot of fun. We received a "sneak peek" of a few photos several days after the photo shoot. And the photos - well they are just amazing! Thank you Phil for capturing so many great family photos in Paris! If you are looking to have photos done while in Paris I highly recommend reaching out to Phil - he's amazing! read more

There is no singular word to capture the essence of Phil and his work, so my review will have to suffice: I DM'd Phil via IG requesting a family photo session in February 2020. Phil responded within 24 hours, confirmed his availability, and directed me to package options. After I selected my option and placed a deposit, we discussed potential locations and monitored for weather. Phil assured me that even with rain, he was up for the challenge. The minute we met Phil at Torcadéro, I knew we were going to have a fantastic shoot. His soft spoken, calm demeanor made it so easy to be ourselves. My 9 year old was jumping and dancing (per usual) and Phil caught him mid air perfectly with the Eiffel Tower as the backdrop. Phil suggested that we do different combinations of family photos, and so we did: family, couple, mother/son, father/son, etc. Now here is where Phil is pure magic - the couple images turned out so romantic, but in actuality I'm looking at my husband and asking why he didn't trim his nose hair?! Anyway, the locations Phil selected were wonderful. There was the Trocadéro with the best views of the Eiffel Tower, a few bridges, the Louvre, and Palais-Royal. Whenever we relocated, Phil would check in, "Are you OK to walk?" or "Do you want to take the train?" He would make sure to tell us how far the distances were, how long it would take, or how much it would cost. He was really considerate of our time and money. Our session lasted about 2 hours. We were getting hungry but didn't want Phil to leave! A few days after our shoot, Phil sent me some teasers. They were awesome and definitely got us excited for more. About a week later, Phil sent me a link with the rest. I naturally assumed that the best ones were the teasers, but to my surprise there were so many more that were even better! I'm so happy that we were able to work with Phil. We could've easily taken selfies and carried on, but they would never come close to the joy it brings looking back at our time in Paris through the lens of PhilArty Photography. read more

We had an amazing photo shoot with Phil on our family vacation to Paris in August 2021. Phil was easy to connect with via WhatsApp prior to our trip and helped to get me prepared for the potential locations to shoot our photos as well as the types of outfits we may consider. Phil was very easy during the actual shoot as I had an active five-year-old and a disgruntled husband who hates taking pictures. Somehow he got both of them to comply! The shots that he took of my family turned out beautifully! We are getting so many compliments from friends on social media. There were so many great shots that I don't know how to narrow it down. Phil, thank you for capturing the joy of our time in Paris! The photos are an amazing keepsake. read more

The best photographer I could have asked for! I first found Phil by doing a Google search for photographers in Paris. Since I was planning a surprise proposal from abroad, I was really nervous and wanted to make sure everything went according to plan. From the moment I saw Phil's work on his website, I knew he would be the one to help me make my vision come to life. He was really easy to work with - quick communication, friendly, and most importantly reliable. Even though I didn't meet Phil until the day of my proposal, he felt like a friend who happened to be taking our photos. The one-hour photo shoot session felt organized, organic, professional, easy, and comfortable. Phil helped me execute my surprise proposal by suggesting what to do - my partner was completely surprised. It was such an honor to work with Phil - we were very pleased with his work. It's been a little over a year since our engagement photo shoot (November 2022), and we are now looking forward to creating a website, invitations, etc. with his photos. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions about our experience :) I cannot recommend him enough. read more

Truly an amazing photographer to work with. We started looking for a photographer to take pictures of our family about a year prior to our visit. It was a trip to celebrate my parents wedding anniversary and included a group of 10 of us. I fell in love immediately when I saw some pictures he had taken that had been posted on a Paris FB page. He has a beautiful eye for detail. I love the artistic approach he has when taking pictures. He is easy to work with. Quick to respond. Very accommodating. And unbeknownst to me, he was also working behind the scenes with my then boyfriend for a surprise proposal. I would highly recommend him for your professional pictures. We just received ours back and once again, fell in love. read more

We had an amazing experience with Phil on our recent visit to Paris! We had a group of 4 adults and a toddler, so I was expecting it to be a little chaotic. Not only did we really enjoy ourselves, he was able to get tons of great shots! Candid and posed. He was open to our thoughts on locations, but had great ideas for what would work for our group since we were a little clueless. The result was a very happy toddler, and genuine smiles with a picturesque background! read more
