Non-pretentious photographer in a western town holding two cameras.

I’m not here to sell you fluff. I’m Dylan, your Arizona photographer and videographer who tells it like it is—no gimmicks, no pretension. Whether I’m shooting your wedding, event, or portrait, I’m all about keeping things simple, honest, and most importantly; just a little rowdy! If you want photos or videos that feel real, without being force-fed a sappy sales-pitch; I’m your photographer! P.S. sometimes my secret is tequila or beer with you before/during a shoot.

I’m your no-bull$#!@,

down-home, photographer

my secret to making videos…

Person holding a camera rig, filming indoors with blurred background lights.

Plot twist; It’s not the editing, effects, or transitions—it’s everything that happens before I even hit record. I shoot with people I actually enjoy being around—people I could camp with, introduce to my wife, or just hang out with. So by the time the camera’s rolling, we’re already having fun. Honestly, it feels like we’re just kids making home videos—except now I own the fancy gear and give the footage a real polish afterward.

it can be professional and a good time; two things can be true…

I’m your no-bull$#!@
wedding photographer.

  • Dylan was the first photographer my husband and I reached out to. Within two minutes of our phone call, we KNEW he was the one. He clicked so well with us and with every single person at our wedding, he is STILL the talk of the town. Dylan went above and beyond in more ways than one. He was extremely considerate of our wants and needs. He coordinated and communicated very well with us and those that helped setup. He was everyone's hype man and we adore him for it. Overall, Dylan made my husband and I his priorities and it is CLEARLY evident in his work. Dylan was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding, not only because he captured our day so beautifully, but because we also gained a great friend❤️

  • We had an incredible experience with Dylan Photo PHX! Dylan was truly the best—professional, friendly, and so easy to work with from start to finish. He was incredibly accommodating to our schedule and needs, making sure everything went smoothly and that we felt completely comfortable throughout. His creativity and attention to detail really shine through in the final photos, which turned out absolutely stunning. We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer and can’t recommend Dylan highly enough!

  • I'm telling you, hire Dylan Dylan photographed our wedding on 3/22/2025. Saying we were very please is an understatement . In our wedding photos Dylan captured the complete story of our wedding from the mundane ,( that i see know is not really mundane) to the the usual cake cutting ,family photos, plus fun and quirky. He captured it all. After looking at the photos , I am certain Dylan is in the top of the field of Event Photography .Then add in the ease and stealth in which he moves about taking photo after photo. My sisters were so impressed with Dylan we hired him to photograph my Mom's 90th Birthday Party . A 1st rate photographer, and great guy ,that's Dylan

  • Creative, Fun, and Timely, Dylan is the Wedding Pro! We can’t say enough amazing things about our wedding photographer, Dylan! From the moment he arrived, he instantly made us feel at ease with his friendly and up beat personality. His sense of humor had us laughing through every shot, which was exactly what we needed to stay relaxed on such a big day. Dylan came up with some incredibly creative and fun ideas for photos, making the whole experience feel more like a celebration than a formal photoshoot. He had an eye for the perfect candid moments, capturing genuine laughter, loving glances, and those small, unscripted moments that really made the day special. A highlight for us were the shots he got of our niece and nephew. Dylan really knew how to work with kids, capturing their personalities in such a natural, joyful way. The photos of them running around and being themselves were some of our favorites. And to top it all off, Dylan was incredibly timely in getting the photos to us after the wedding. We didn’t have to wait long at all to relive those beautiful memories, and the quality of the images blew us away. We’ll cherish these photos forever! If you’re looking for a photographer who brings a fun, relaxed vibe, creative ideas, and an eye for the special moments, then Dylan is the one! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

  • We had an absolutely amazing experience working with Dylan for senior pictures! From start to finish, Dylan made the entire process fun, comfortable, and stress-free. He has a great eye for locations, lighting, and natural poses, which really brought out my daughter’s personality in every shot. The photos turned out even better than I imagined—crisp, vibrant, and full of life. You can tell he genuinely cares about getting the perfect shot and making the experience memorable. I would highly recommend Dylan to anyone looking for high-quality senior pictures and a photographer who truly goes above and beyond!

  • Look no further Dylan took family photographs for my family and my husband and I were super impressed. Not only could he make our teenagers crack smiles, but he made us all loose and comfortable. He is punctual, a great communicator, creative, and gets your photos back in a timely manner. I highly recommend him for any photography needs big or small.

  • I can’t say enough about Dylan Photo PHX. Im not going to say I am a Bridezilla, but I am very particular and bossy on how I like things. A perfectionist. Dylan asked thoughtful questions, did ample research, and was there with us every step of the way. He took pictures I would never thought of. Our wedding video I perfect because as a stressed bride I missed a lot of the fun. The video let me re-live our beautiful wedding without the stress of the day. Dylan and his partner maintained control of the day ensuring all shots were perfect, including the backgrounds. No little detail was missed. Absolutely perfect. Im so thankful for our photos and video because that was my most favorite day ever and I can revisit it whenever I want.

  • Live Band Photo's My band was in need of some professional live performance pics so we reached out to Dylan Photo PHX. After comparing bids and speaking with other companies, I found that Dylan was the most approachable, professional and affordable. Our event photo's came out great with many to chose from. Dylan Photo PHX really put in time to make sure he captured just the right shots and was aware of our vision. We recieve our photo's in a timely manner as promised. Dylan Photo PHX is our go to for professional photo's.

I’m dead serious; let’s grab a beer and swap a few stories. Even if you don’t book me, that’s totally fine; I ain’t here for a long time, I’m here for a good time. I ain’t here to sell you—I’m here to know you.

Here’s where I like to meet up (but we can meet anywhere you want!):
