A Real Mahler Ballroom Reception and UMSL Chapel Wedding

One of our top priorities going in to our wedding planning was finding the right photographer. After going through their portfolio and an initial conversation, we knew Joel and Shannon was without a doubt our choice. Joel and Shannon were a dream to work with from the initial meeting all the way to the final edits. They are both so easy going and great to talk with. They actually have fun with you, so the smiles keep coming without any effort. For the photography, nothing ever felt staged like you see with so many other wedding photos, so each smile is 100% genuine. Watching those two run around like crazy to ensure they have the perfect spot/lighting/angle for a picture showed their dedication to their job to ensure we were happy. They have such a photographic eye that they can turn what would appear to be a simple background into something truly mesmerizing. Each new photo we looked at became our favorite because they were able to capture the love and happiness we felt throughout that day.

By the end of the wedding you will feel like not only you picked the perfect photographer, but you also made two new friends, which is how we still feel 5 years later. With so much planning and choices to manage in a wedding, using Joel and Shannon for photography will be one of your easiest decisions to make.
