When starting to plan my wedding, I knew the single most important vendor I was going to be working…read morewith was the photographer. It was the first thing I started looking for after my engagement, and one of the first people I hired. I knew the photography would be how I remembered, and my future children saw my wedding for years to come. When I found Jon Koch's work, I realized it was exactly what I wanted. I felt emotional looking at photos from a stranger's wedding day. Start to finish, I felt like I was there. He captured the entire feeling of the day. I knew photography was not something I was willing to compromise on, and was willing to pay for the right one. And, I think Jon's prices are worth every penny. He worked with us on our engagement shoot, and a boudoir shoot for myself, and on our wedding day. His assistant, Kate, was wonderful as well, and was able to get some interesting angles on a lot of shots. Jon is professional and such a sweet guy. He captured our wedding in a very personal and beautiful way. He explains his philosophy on his website as: "I use photojournalism as my starting point, but my coverage is more than just recording what happens- it's documentation infused with fashion and fine art." And that is exactly what I see when I look back at our photos.

If you are looking for a photographer in St. Louis look no further!! My husband and I had truly the…read moremost amazing experience with Jon. He is incredibly professional but above that very kind and understanding and here is why, My husband and I had a very intimate ceremony, just the priest and 2 witnesses,so I relied solely on photos to share this experience with both of our families. Jon totally captured the moment, so much so that both families felt as if they had been present and that is exactly what I wanted since they could not attend. It was intimate, it was romantic and it was classic. Our pictures turned out so much better than I could have ever expected! So here is where the understanding part comes in to play, unfortunately it rained on our wedding day and we had planned to have the majority of our pictures that were not taken in the church, in different locations outside. Jon was nice enough to reschedule that half of the shoot (a little over an hour) at our convenience. Well, as you know this is St. Louis and the weather is often unpredictable so the following week it was bitter cold! A high of about 20 degrees but it wasn't raining so I was determined to get the photos done! Jon went out with us and even though he was freezing, he took the most beautiful photos and we don't even look cold!!!!! I was so impressed by his professionalism and his willingness to do just a about anything to make us happy. He even helped us work out a payment that was right for us. I have absolutely nothing negative to say about our experience with Jon. Unbelievable photos and I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer, he will not disappoint!!

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.

Tracey's style was a great choice for our engagement shoot (cooking at home) and our wedding day…read more The photographs are beautiful and very real. I'm not sure I would have remembered the day and all the details, but she captured it all. We did a few posed shots, but of course, the favorites are the unplanned moments. I do wish we had spent the money to have Tracey do our album. I thought I could do it myself and it turned out fine but not great. I feel like I have a good eye for photo and design, but I know we would have a nicer book if Tracey had done it. She's totally professional--has an impressive background--and is easy to work with. We call her to take pics of our daughter now, too. She's great.

The photos came out great and our guests raved about the experience! My husband and I agreed that the photos of his father and my mother acting goofy with the props were probably our favorite (although all of the pictures were hilarious). :) If I had to plan the wedding all over again, there are a few things I'd change -- but Tony wouldn't be one of them! He's the best!

That comfort really shows in the photos. She also did an amazing job with our engagement shoot, which got us even more excited for the big day. From start to finish, Kristen was a joy to work with, and anyone would be lucky to have her as their photographer. We can't recommend her enough!

She was super helpful through the planning process and in working with our other vendors to align on timelines. On our wedding day, Elizabeth and her second shooter (and hubby!) fit in naturally and captured all of the true emotions of our day. She is great at giving direction and wrangling everyone without being pushy which allowed us to keep to the schedule, but still maximize our shots. Now for the photos. The photos are WELL worth the wait. Elizabeth delivered breathtaking, magazine quality images that captured every aspect of our day and every emotion we felt along the way. She also overdelivered and gave us SO many images to choose from. We are so in love. TLDR; Passionate, Professional, Breathtaking results.
