Introduction

I have been a working photojournalist for the past 25 years, and I genuinely love what I do. I aim to marry the science and the art of photography to give my clients pictures that meet a variety of needs. I have photographed many weddings, portraits, sporting events, real estate and architecture shots, and family celebrations during my career. Using proper lighting and quality equipment, I take pictures that capture memories that last a lifetime. I approach every single job I do and photo I take like it's the most important picture I've ever shot. I have energy, motivation, and patience, and I thrive on meeting the needs and challenges of each client. What I love about being a photographer is that I get the opportunity to photograph people at their best. No one wants a bad picture, right? I do every single thing I can to make sure I put a smile on my subject's face not only during the shoot, but also after...when they see the results. I'm a lucky guy to have this job!

We were lucky enough to have Phil from as our engagement and wedding photographer. He did such an amazing job with all the photos, and got them back to us very quickly! (Same day only ) He was very knowledgeable, and did a great job scouting out locations to take photos, as well as helping us feel comfortable . We will also hire him in future for next photoshoots

We used Phil for our residential real estate photos for our For Sale by Owner listing. He was excellent - personable, professional, took all the time he needed to get the right shots. Our pictures turned out beautifully and are the reason we've had such a good response.

Philip Pavely is not only an excellent photographer, but a great vendor to do business with. He was able to be hired with little notice, was a pleasure to talk to and his photographs were some of the best high quality images I've received yet! He went above and beyond what he was hired to do. I would certainly recommend him to anyone looking for a talented photographer in the Pittsburgh area.

Phil went out of his way to make the best product for our wedding. A true gentleman and great to work with from months before our ceremony. He captured all of the best moments, had us get the great poses and all of the on-the-fly events. Phil used amazing lighting sources for our indoor night scenes. His pictures are all so rich in color as the quality of the lenses he uses is outstanding. He has a talented eye for composition. My wife and I were dazzled by the amazing photos. Phil did the job of at least 2 photographers being everywhere and having different lenses for the different effects. He really cares and put his heart into his work. Thank you for such wonderful memories of our wedding!!!
