Professional St Louis Wedding Photography
Most couples don’t want “perfect.” They want real.
The kind of wedding photography that doesn’t feel staged, forced, or like you’re stuck in a photoshoot all day—but still looks intentional, emotional, and honestly… a little badass.
That’s what we mean when we say professional. Not stiff. Not scripted.
Just real moments, captured in a way that actually matters.
For Couples Who Want Something Real
What “Professional Wedding Photography”
Really Means
It’s Not Just About the Camera,
It’s About Knowing the Moment
Anyone can buy a camera.
Professional wedding photography is about knowing:
when to step in
when to step back
how to read a moment before it happens
It’s the difference between a photo… and a memory that hits you years later.
You Don’t Have to Perform
You don’t need to know how to pose.
You don’t need to “be good in front of a camera.”
We guide you just enough so you never feel awkward—but never so much that it stops feeling like you.
Calm Energy Changes Everything
Weddings move fast. Things shift. Emotions run high.
A professional photographer doesn’t add stress—they remove it.
We show up steady, confident, and ready for whatever the day throws at us.
St Louis Wedding Photography That Feels Real, Not Staged
The Moments You Didn’t Plan for Matter Most
The laughs. The nerves. The chaos. The quiet.
Those are the moments you’ll actually care about later.
We’re always watching for those—not just the big, expected shots.
Direction When It’s Needed
We’ll guide you when you need it.
But we’re not turning your wedding into a production.
You get space to actually live your day.

Our approach is rooted in storytelling. Some wedding photographers just document the bare minimum. We spend the majority of our time capturing essential, candid interactions and unscripted moments that occur naturally throughout your wedding day. Did the ring bearer walk down the aisle with the ring on his head? Did the bride's father bawl his eyes out during the ceremony? Yes, and our trained eye documented it. By focusing on the narrative, these unscripted shots often become the most cherished memories.
Every couple is unique. Some are more outgoing than others and prefer to stay out of the spotlight. That’s why we plan ahead to schedule the perfect amount of time to capture specific posed shots. This approach allows you to spend the most uninterrupted time with your family and friends on your wedding day.
-
Composition is an art and we treat each frame as a canvas. From intimate close-ups that highlight the subtleties of your connection, to epic wedding receptions that capture your guests having the time of their lives.
Our careful composition adds depth and visual appeal to your images that you would be proud to showcase on your living room wall for years to come.
-
Lighting plays a crucial role in photography, especially during weddings. Our skill to control light—whether it's the soft glow of sunset, the warm ambiance of indoor lighting, or the dramatic flair of the night sky—allows us to create images with the perfect mood and atmosphere.
We showcase various creative tricks and tools to bend light through the camera lens to give your photos a visual appeal.
-
Our commitment to excellence extends beyond the click of the camera. Through our expert post-production process, we enhance colors, textures, and overall aesthetics, ensuring that your images exude a timeless beauty that will be cherished for generations.

What to Expect
-
Communication is key and our journey with you begins long before the wedding day. When you reach out to us, we take the time to get to know you as a couple in person or by video chat to talk about you, your ideas, and your vision for the big day.
Commitment aside, it’s a way for us to get to know each other. We want you to be confident we are the right wedding photographers for you. We encourage you to look through our gallery of photography work and our various wedding packages to see what resonates with you and pulls on your heartstrings.
Once you decide we are the right wedding photographers for you, we will sign the contract together, then submit the invoice to reserve your wedding date and receive our Photography Engagement Magazine Guide for your free engagement session.
-
A lot of wedding photographers only see their couples face-to-face on their wedding day, which can be a bit awkward. That’s why we offer a free engagement session with every package. We don’t want to walk into your wedding as strangers, but as friends.
Our Photography Engagement Guide will help you know what to expect for your session and how to come prepared. This is great practice for the wedding day!
-
Some couples love to plan everything on their own and want to be in control, which is great. We love that! But we understand that this is a new step in life and sometimes a little help is needed in the wedding planning process, which is A-OK.
If at any point you have ideas or questions you want to run by us, we are here for you. In fact, we plan a pre-wedding meeting with you a week or two in before the wedding so we can talk through details and relieve any stress you may be carrying. Lay it on us, we can handle it!
We showcase various creative tricks and tools to bend light through the camera lens to give your photos a visual appeal.
-
This is your day. Enjoy it! Let go of any worry and stress about the schedule and just be in the moment. Yes, there is a designated time to take specific photos, but we have that under control. That’s why you get two of us, so nothing gets left behind or forgotten.
While documenting those sweet unrehearsed moments of you, family and friends, we will make sure to keep everyone on schedule and that the wedding day is running smoothly. Two are better than one with us!
-
When the marriage license has been signed and all your wedding guests have said their goodbyes, that’s when we’re still working for you. After safely backing up your wedding memories onto two separate hard drives, we meticulously start the editing process.
We pick the best of the best. Photos that will bring happy tears. We then expertly enhance the colors, textures, and overall aesthetics, ensuring that your images exude a timeless beauty. This process can take up to three months, but we’re usually quicker than that because we want you to start reliving your wedding day!
You will then receive an email with a private link to your gallery of hi-resolution images where you will be able to view the photos, download them and share with family and friends. How exciting!n

Wedding FAQs
-
Our approach is rooted in storytelling. We spend the majority of our time capturing candid (frequently called photojournalism) interactions and unscripted moments that occur naturally throughout your wedding day. These spontaneous shots often become some of the most cherished memories. But we also take pride in setting up artistic poses for stunning portraits that are sprinkled in throughout the day.
You get the best of both worlds with us!
-
Of course! We can hold your date once we receive both a downpayment and a signed contract. Until then, dates remain open for booking.
-
We accept cash, debit and credit cards. There is a 20% deposit to reserve your date with a contract. We do 2-3 installments with the remaining balance paid in full three weeks before the wedding.
-
You betcha’! We are insured with General and Professional Liability.
-
Travel is included within a 30 mile radius of our business. We do photograph weddings farther out of our area (including destination weddings) and we would discuss travel expenses with you prior to booking with us.
-
We have never let a couple down. In the unlikely event that we are unable to attend your wedding, be assured that we know other professional photographers, and every effort will be made to supply you with a photographer of similar style and ability.
-
Yes, we love available light, but we also have lights to create our own unique lighting setups.
-
Yes! We know these are some of the most important photographs to preserve your family’s lineage. And what is important to you, is important to us. However, we do recommend keeping your list short and sweet, because the process can be time consuming and sometimes overwhelming for you. A good number is around 5 combinations, and no more than 10.
-
Of course, that’s our job! We will guide you through natural movements and interactions, capturing moments that showcase the genuine love you have for each other.
-
Technically, yes. It’s in our contract. We’re always on the hunt for that perfect moment throughout the day, so we need nourishment to keep the creative juices flowing. The last thing you want to see is a photographer passed out on the dance floor!
-
Nope! When you sign the contract and pay the deposit, your date is secured, and we spend all our attention and energy on one wedding per day!
-
It will take up to 12 weeks for you to receive your wedding photos. Depending on the time of year and how many weddings we have in the queue, the exact time will vary.
-
This depends on the amount of hours you book us for and how many activities are going on throughout the wedding day! Generally our couples receive anywhere between 400-700 high resolution images!
-
After the images have been edited, you will receive a link to our online gallery where you can mark your favorites, download all the images, share the link with family and friends and even have prints made and sent directly to your home. All with the click of a button.
-
Available upon request at anytime, just ask!
-
Unfortunately, no. Raw files are dull, flat “images” that are meant to be edited.
They contain data from the camera’s sensor that we use to edit in our specific style…
…which is what caught your attention and drew you to our work!
-
We back up your photos to 2 separate hard drives so nothing ever gets lost or forgotten.
-
We try to blog every engagement session and wedding we can, but sometimes we get backlogged and need to catch up. We like to show off our work and the amazing couples!
