Selecting a photographer to capture the joy and beauty of your event is no easy feat. I saw many…read moregreat photographers online through IG. Thumbtack. Yelp and the internet. Most had prices that rivaled a house down payment. Being a member of Yelp Elite, I was immediately impressed by Emily's Five Star Yelp reviews. Every single one was (is) rated five stars. That speaks volumes because we Yelpers don't hand out five stars like Tic-Tacs. I reached out to Emily and we had an initial call to discuss my event, vision, location and most importantly, my expectations. Emily asked me questions I hadn't considered as a consumer. She brought ideas and explained her process. I immediately felt comfortable and knew she'd deliver with Excellence, Enthusiasm Effortlessly, all while surpassing our Expectations. When we received our photos, my husband said "those are the best photos I've ever seen". Thank you Emily!

You can tell that she is professional and knows what she is doing because I came to her having no idea what photos I wanted or a timeline for the day of. She helped so much in that area and was able to direct us day of and made a timeline that worked perfectly for us. The photos we received back are AMAZING, she could not have done a better job. Even though our wedding was during a busier season we still got the photos back pretty quickly I would say. She really helped make our wedding day perfect and I am so grateful for that.

If you need a photographer in St. Louis, look no further…read more I've hired Jenn for both my professional headshots and a family session in the park and she was fantastic for both! I HATE having my photo taken, but she actually made the process fun and worked with me to produce really flattering headshots. I've gotten multiple compliments from friends and colleagues on my new headshots, and I would recommend her to any professional without hesitation. For our family photos, I was blown away by how patient she was with my 3 year old son, who was not in the mood to have photos taken the day of our shoot. She cheered him up in impressively short order, and ultimately she took gorgeous photos that captured our family's personality perfectly. And when I thought it couldn't get any better, she turned around the proofs and edits for both sessions very quickly! She was professional and communicative throughout, and I can't overstate just how much I've enjoyed working with her.

She provided amazing equipment that was simple to setup, and the end products were amazing. Her personality even helped drive people to our booth! Jenn is extremely passionate about her work and it definitely shows in her work ethic. We loved working with Jenn and would gladly work with her again!

We loved working with her and we love every single photo she took. She communicated with us before the dinner and asked all the right questions to understand what we wanted and who we were.

We asked for candid photos of guests as well as some posed photos of us as a couple. When we got the photos we were so happy with what she captured! She was creative with suggestions and had a vision for what would look good. We would recommend Phoebe Landrum Photography 100%.

Her tips and tricks for us were so helpful ("don't lock your knees at the altar, or you might pass out!), and her one-on-one care for use was incredible (she brought a beautiful "unplugged wedding" sign just for us). She spent hours with us brainstorming what types of pictures we wanted and asked us key questions about our photography needs that we never would have imagined would be so critical. She was sensitive, detail-oriented, and wonderfully humorous. Even in the midst of a pretty powerful summer thunderstorm, she was out with us taking pictures that we would have never captured if not for her tenacity in the field. Truly, we could not have asked for a higher quality professional--our photos are PERFECT and everything we've dreamt of. We also consider Laura a friend--she is down-to-earth and approachable, and we truly clicked together from the beginning. Her incredible skills, wonderful professionalism, and awesome personality made her our dream-wedding photographer. Thank you, Laura, for simply being the best!

I love Brea Photography!…read more Brea herself is fantastic to work with, and her team of photographers are reliable, friendly, and I never have to worry about they way the photos are going to turn out. As someone who plans a lot of events, not having to give photography a second thought is completely priceless. If you can snag Brea, use her before you use her peeps, but anyone from the group should work out just fine. Typically getting a hold of her 2-3 weeks before your event is enough time, but book ahead if you want to use her pop-up photo booth services, which I believe are new. Really solid photographers with great attitudes. Let 'em capture all the cool things you've got going on!

I relied upon glowing yelp reviews, when selecting my daughter's wedding photographer got…read morecomplicated. Unfortunately, my life did not get any less complicated. After meeting with a photographer, selecting a package, signing a contract, and setting a date for engagement photos, four months later my daughter discovered, the night before the engagement photos, that the photographer no longer worked for Brea, and somehow had not checked her messages in days. Praise to Brea herself, who stepped in at this critical moment to respond to e-mail notes and phone messages, and make the trip to our humble suburb to take care of the engagement photo session. I rationalized this stumble and recovery, imagining that many small business owners experience similar pains when entrusting work to others and/or taking a break. We experienced poor communication and flawed office procedures, followed by a good save by the boss. Subsequently, my daughter was assigned another photographer and assistant to complete the contract; the team arrived on time, and completed the job. Five weeks later, the results were available for viewing and download. Seven-hundred-plus wedding photos and perhaps 150 engagement photos. A photo booth for guests. In the end, there were approx. 1/3 the number of photos from my son's wedding by another firm last year, but perhaps more time given to editing out the duds, so it might be argued that the quality of these is higher. When I look at the photos, certainly I can see artistic shot framing and good photography skills. I also see a more pronounced worry line in the forehead of the bride's father.
