Why Safehaven?
Choosing a photographer is like selecting a book.
There are plenty stories with the same plot, twists and turns.
Our selections come down to preference and overall aesthetic.
An aesthetic can be mimicked or replicated, but not authenticated . Choosing Safehaven means you don't want a "one size fits all."
You want someone that can emphasize the quirks and charm that make your story, Yours.
The Style
Avid light-chaser
My work gravitates towards soft & airy, golden hour glory and moody low-light-love aesthetics.
The Story
Where our treasure is, our hearts will follow.
I value the stories people have lived. The hopes and dreams of things they'll achieve, or who they'll become. I chose to become a photographer so I could create timestamps of the memories that should never be lost.
Your responsibility is to be present in the moment. Mine is to make sure you'll never forget it. *click*
The Method
The approach is to direct, not dictate.
Being in front of a camera can be intimidating.
Being told what to do and how to do it can create stiff images. I like to be present with my clients and guide them through motions that deliver candid moments.
It shouldn't feel like there's a camera in your face. You're just speaking with a friend.
BEHIND
the LENS
Felix Gillett: plant enthusiast, music lover, nature admirer, and a major foodie consumer.
I work alongside my couples and clients to craft images that are seamlessly editorial — brimming with genuine affection, and candid moments (with the direction they need to achieve the photos they want). I am endlessly inspired by the interplay of light and aim to photograph stills that feel alive.
