You won't regret booking!!
Where do we begin? Photo Phil is an absolutely amazing and talented photographer! He really isn't just a photographer, he is a friend, a chaos coordinator, a comedian and incredibly talented! Phil goes above and beyond, delivering a beautiful slideshow on our big day, followed by behind the scenes sneak peeks! From the black and white photo booth, the prop/bubble dance party and the sunset photos - just incredible! When you hire Phil you are getting his full dream team, and trust me, you want them!! The whole experience was stress free, laugh filled and incredibly memorable all around! Phil, we appreciate how fantastic you were throughout the entire process! Thanks so much for everything!

Phil- simply the best
Phil photographed 3 of my friend's daughter's weddings. We were blown away with his work so naturally booked him for our older daughter's wedding 10 years ago. You see the pattern here. Of course, he was the first vendor booked for our younger daughter's wedding this July 2025. There was simply no one else considered.
He and his partner Josiah did not disappoint. Phil worked with us through the First Look approach to scheduling the day and it was flawless. Gone are the long boring waits between ceremony and reception. He even worked with us for the FMX stunt show the groom organized as a gift to our guests. Phil brought special equipment just to capture those fast moving shots.
I will forever have the image of my daughter mounted behind her groom streaming across the golden field with her veil streaming behind. No need to point a cell phone Phil is always there to get the best possible image of events.
He and his friend Ken Lindsay of Big Event Entertainment made the evening a night to remember. There was never a lull in the energy as Phil popped open his container of crazy hats, beads and bubble machines. Those pictures capture the joy and energy of our guests. They told us repeatedly this was the best wedding they ever attended. Also, they could not believe how active the dance floor was. When you hire Phil, you hire more than a photographer.
This man cannot be beat for his photographic art work, his professionalism, value for money, enthusiasm and flexibility. He will never disappoint you. Thank you Phil -

High Recommend
It is truly an understatement to just say how amazing having Phil and his team present for our day was. In fact, it didn't just start and end with our day. We did our engagement sessions with Phil so we could get to know each other better - and while his photos were amazing, it was his experience, his approach to the big day and his personality that sold us on him...and we are so grateful for this! He helped with planning the schedule so that everything ran seamlessly (did you know you were also getting a wedding planner with him?? LOL). He's just so incredibly experienced and so eager to to help you make sure your perfect day is indeed perfect and a smooth and seamless operation. We had him do his Black and White photos with the guests during cocktail hour and the photos are stunning and the guests had SO MUCH FUN. An amazing experience for the guests because it was something they would get to keep from this day - who doesn't love a professional photo? And they all somehow turn out amazing. He uses a software which allowed us to create a QR code for our photos and share the links (the Black and White album and the entire album) and share with guests afterwards. He also provided us a sneak peak ahead of receiving the full collection of photos. The software he uses to share the photos provided easy access for the guests to look at photos after the fact (especially of themselves as it has built in AI capabilities). The guests loved Phil. We loved Phil. Could not recommend him enough. You will not be disappointed. Of note, his turn around times were great and he was always quick and easy to get a hold of. He also brought a lot of fun and originality to the table. Yes - the props are his. He also ran a slideshow during the evening of some photos from the day which was quite captivating to guests - interesting how eager everyone is to wait around to see the pictures, but also catch a photo of themselves! Beyond highly recommend Phil.-

Amazing Pictures! So grateful for Phil & Team!
We used Phil & Josiah for our October 2024 wedding. Phil has become our unofficial 'family photographer' after having shot my brother's wedding the previous year! While planning our wedding, we knew we needed Phil. So much so, that we picked our wedding date based on his availability. Phil was with us every step of the way; helped us plan, did our engagement shoot, and even connected us with our DJ (shoutout to Ken Lindsay @ Big Event Entertainment). The day of the wedding went amazing. Phil & Josiah captured so many wonderful, cherished moments. We also had a lot of fun. During cocktail hour, Phil set up a black & white portrait booth for everyone to get pictures done. All of the pictures were provided via link, so our guests could download their pics! Everyone loved it!! Phil also did a slideshow on the dancefloor; a small snippet of pics from our first look, ceremony etc. To end the evening, Phil brought out a bunch of props and started a conga line on the dancefloor. The pictures are goofy and amazing, and we LOVED it. We are so grateful to Phil for helping us perfectly capture everything from our big day! His experience is unmatched, and you are in good hands when you book with Phil.

Photo Phil Pulled out all the Stops!
We could not give a more glowing review for Phil as a photographer! The package we got from Phil was very reasonably priced compared to other photographers and included so many extras that other photographers don’t even offer! Our package included all day coverage from 11 am - 11 pm. Phil was there for everything! While most photographers leave after the first dance, Phil was on the dancefloor getting pictures and even took us out for some late night shots with lights and champagne spraying. Two other unforgettable details that Phil included in the package were a photo booth on the dance floor, and a slideshow of pictures DURING THE WEDDING! Phil brought in a whole bin full of hats, wigs, microphones and even bubble guns for guests to use on the dancefloor. This got the party started and increased the energy from the beginning! Phil and the other photographers also spent multiple hours combined during dinner editing photos from the day in real time to put together a slideshow for guests to watch during the dance! Over 175 photos were edited and absolutely beautiful! From the countless breathtaking photo ideas to the small details he accounted for during our special day, we could not have asked for a better photographer! Phil even gave input on our wedding timeline/schedule and gave some feedback on areas he thought could use reordering or a bit more time, though he was willing to stick to any schedule we wanted! We can't wait to get the remainder of the photos back! -

Great Photographer!
We cannot recommend Phil Steingard Studios enough for your big event and we will definitely be using them again in the future! Phil and Carmela were amazing photographers for our wedding! We’ve been to many weddings where the photographers leave right after the reception starts, but Phil stayed almost until the end of the night. He got just as many people on the dancefloor…if not more than our DJ… with his photobooth and props. The team went above and beyond! Phil had included a complimentary engagement shoot with our wedding package and the results were incredible. As someone who isn’t the most comfortable in front of a camera, he got so many natural pictures of us during the shoot. At our wedding, he even helped pin my boutonnière back on when it fell off right at the altar. He made sure we got every picture that we had requested and even had some ready to go to show guests on a slideshow during the later part of the evening. I had multiple friends and family shocked by how quickly they could see pictures from earlier that day at the reception. If you are in search of a photographer for your wedding and Phil is available, I would highly recommend going with him! He captured memories that my wife and I will cherish for the rest of our lives! -

Above and Beyond Photography Service!
My husband and I hired “Photo Phil” and Josiah for our wedding this September! From the get go he impressed us with Phils many many years of experience being in the industry and the multitude of different equipment types he typically carries with him as well! He was so easy going, communicative and very professional. Phil truly went above and beyond for our wedding from the beautiful photos he took, to helping us figure out our wedding day timeline for all other vendors involved as well! He also, has an amazing “Photo Booth” that really helps pump up the party atmosphere too. We do not have enough good words to say! You are truly missing out on an amazing experience if you do not hire Photo Phil!-

Anita and Phil were Awesome!
We had the pleasure of having Anita as our photographer for our wedding weekend. She is AMAZING - punctual, very professional and so much fun! Anita gave us helpful advice and was an expert at wrangling groups together for photos and suggesting the best locations and backgrounds. She jumped into the action to take candid shots and was very thoughtful and considerate to our guests. We highly recommend her!
Phil was also a pleasure to work with! He met us in Barrie to take our engagement photos and he is highly skilled. We were impressed by the photos he took and the enhancements he added. We're very glad we chose Phil and Anita for our big day!! -

Unforgettable Experience with Anita and Damon from Phil Steingard Studios!
We had the incredible pleasure of having Anita and Damon from Steingard Studios as our wedding photographers on September 21, 2024, at the Nottawasaga Resort in Alliston. From the moment we met them, they were warm, professional, and so easy to work with. They immediately made us feel comfortable and were a calming presence throughout our special day.
On the wedding day, Anita and Damon were everywhere, capturing both the big moments and the subtle, candid ones without ever being intrusive. Their attention to detail and passion for their craft really shone through. We were able to fully enjoy our day knowing we were in such capable hands.
While we’re eagerly awaiting the final photos, we have no doubt they will perfectly reflect all the love and joy of our wedding day. Anita and Damon were a dream team, and we’re so excited to relive all those special moments through their lens.
If you're looking for photographers who are not only talented but who genuinely care about capturing your memories, we highly recommend Anita and Damon at Steingard Studios!
With Love,
Andrea & Adam -
