How It Began

When I was a child, my father bought me this cheap, plastic, Disney camera. Like, one of the first kids digital cameras in the early 2000s. I took that tiny, Pirates of the Caribbean camera and photographed everything. EVERYTHING. My moms flower garden, random bugs, and all our farm animals (Yes I know, welcome to growing up in rural Alabama.) After that I was hooked. When I was 15, my dad got me a real camera, I took classes in high school, and started asking friends for if I they'd be my model so I could practice. I learned everything I could as a teenager.

Flash forward to when I was attending a friend's wedding couples years later. I loved how beautiful everything looked, how happy the couple was, and I watched their Photographer like a hawk. She was just as excited to be there as the couple was. She was practically in charge of the entire environment. I fell in love with the whole experience. I then contacted every local wedding photographer and started second shooting with them to learn. I got accepted into The Art Institute and started working on my Associates Degree in Photography.

Finding My Own Way

I remember my first wedding. I was terrified of standing in the isle! Everyone would be able to see me, what if I fell, what if I missed the kiss, what if, what if , what if. But I HAD to do it. and I did. It went with out a hitch. I remembered my training and knew how I wanted to run the business, just lacked confidence to get in front of the clients I wanted. But I persevered.

Now, 6 years, and 40+ weddings later I have the honor of being a leader in the field. I strive everyday to continue to grow my brand and increase my client experience.

Client experience, and over all impact is the most important aspect of Autumn & Co.

I want to express raw emotion, the tearful joy of saying "I Do" and cackling laughter of the reception speeches.

I do what I do to spread love. To make art. To share joy.

If you feel the same way, then we should work together.

See you soon,

Autumn Phillips
