Hi, I’m Phil Holland. Most days will find me with a camera in my hand at some point trying to see the things around me in a different light than the day before. I am a photographer specializing in weddings and love being around being people on one of the most special days of their life. I get to go to work and hang out with families celebrating an amazing event. It is always a great honor to be the person chosen to document such a day.
I am also a classical trumpet player. I grew up playing all the time and was fortunate to attend the Eastman School of Music for college. After Eastman I served as principal trumpet in the USAF Heritage of America Band followed by a year position in the Virginia Symphony. In 2001 I relocated to Dallas Texas and set up a trumpet studio began freelancing in the area. After my father passed away in 2005 I threw myself into photography, only a hobby until that point.
I am married to the former Lee Smith, also a classical trumpet player. Lee is a wonderful support and a terrific musician having studied at the Cleveland Institute, Yale and Northwestern. You won’t find her playing as much lately. She has been a Dallas Police Officer for three years now and loves it.
I hope you enjoy looking around my blog. I’d like to invite you to visit my website at HollandPhotoStudio.com. If you are searching for the perfect photographer for your wedding I would be thrilled to talk with you.
