Some artists begin with gear. Others begin with technique. Philip Mundy began with the simple desire to make moments last longer than memory.
“Knowing that my work helps others remember moments when memory begins to fail and capture the unique human interactions of each couple,” he shares, speaking the way he photographs: softly, sincerely, with a quiet certainty that truth is always enough.
Born and raised in Chile, Philip stepped into photography more than a decade ago, exploring many genres before realizing where his heart landed every time. “Where my passion lays is in weddings,” he says. “Being able to make your work transcend over the years fulfills my heart and my will to do my best every time.”
And transcend it has. Since 2014, his work has led him across continents, onto lists of the top 5 photographers in Chile for many years, and now to a new milestone celebrated with Wezoree.
Philip describes his journey not as a straight line, but as a series of carefully collected experiences. Weddings in Patagonia’s soft-blue light. First looks under Caribbean palms. Ceremonies echoing through old European courtyards.
“My art work has taken me to visit amazing places in the world and to meet wonderful couples,” he says, grateful rather than boastful. Each trip left its mark. Each couple sharpened his intuition. Each celebration deepened the cinematic thread running through his style.
Ask Philip to define his style and he answers with precision: documentary and artistic.
It’s an honest pairing. He moves with the observant patience of a documentarian, but composes with the eye of someone who loves beauty too much to leave it to chance. The results feel natural yet sculpted, grounded yet poetic.
He enhances these qualities in post-production, where he works as lead editor.
I use Lightroom, where I focus on giving each photograph a dreamlike and elegant touch, with tones that evoke scenes from a film or documentary.
His images breathe. The colors settle softly. The light feels familiar, like something you once saw in a memory or a movie.
Philip keeps his gear simple, intentional, and unobtrusive:
Two Canon mirrorless cameras
A set of fixed focal length lenses
A preference for moving quietly rather than staging heavily
It allows him to blend into a moment rather than interrupt it.
There is no persuasion in Philip’s process. No need for it.
“The first approach happens when clients contact me after watching my work,” he explains. “When they decided to book an interview is because they like my style, so they receive what they always wanted.”
He offers guidance where needed, options where helpful, and customized packages when couples have unique visions. But the relationship is built on alignment from day one.
To couples preparing for their shoot, he has simple, timeless advice:
“Look for ideas, state your style and show yourself as you really are.”
Authenticity is the secret ingredient. Not poses. Not trends. Self.
Philip loves traveling for love stories, and his passport reflects it.
“I do,” he says simply when asked if he travels. Then he lists his favorites:
The Caribbean
Old cities
Europe
And of course, the Chilean Patagonia
Each place offers different light, different mood, different magic. But Philip reveals them all with the same grounded reverence.
A decade in the industry teaches you things nothing else can. His advice to the younger Philip is short and sharp:
Do not do photography for money and control your ego.
For him, that’s the foundation of longevity. Of creativity. Of soul.
With more than ten years behind him and a global audience watching, Philip continues to chase truth through his lens. Every frame a fragment of a story. Every wedding a new world.
His achievements, including his latest recognition through Wezoree, mark only the beginning of what feels like a long, steady climb—one built not on trends or hype, but on heart.
And Philip's heart has always known where it belongs: in the quiet, fleeting, extraordinary moments people never want to forget.
