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!

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND DON FROM LUX MEDIA FOR YOUR PHOTOGRAPHY / VIDEOGRAPHY!!!…read more I hired don for my maternity shoot, and am more than happy with the results. Not only was he on time for the shoot but he was very patient, and knows how to capture the PERFECT angle / shot! He is so worth it! He's very responsive with texts/calls and very kind! He pays very close attention to details, and literally makes the photos look SO magical yet NATURAL. Don is truly skillful and talented at what he does. Highly recommend giving him a shot if you're looking for a photographer / videographer.

Don is amazing at what he does and he truly works with you in achieving what you want for your photos. He did our engagement photos recently and it went really smooth. He made it fun and we felt comfortable taking pictures with him because he made everything go with the flow and it felt very natural! We took pictures at Balboa park and he took us around to different spots so that he could maximize the area and beauty of Balboa Park. It was nice that he wanted us to have a big selection of photos with different background and styles. When we were taking pictures Don made us feel very relaxed. I loved that he made us feel at home and it was enjoyable! He taught us different poses and made it simple as possible. It was such a fun day! Don even makes bouquets for you as a prop during photo taking!! And they ARE BEAUTIFUL!! He seriously could be a florist too! LOL The week before our engagement photos he even called me to talk about attire and it was really nice of him to talk about what would be best to wear and he really wanted us to look perfect on that day and suggested many different outfits and even asked if he could see what we got planned to see if it would go well with the theme etc. it was really considerate of him to take the time to reach out to us and care about our wardrobe and how the pictures will look with certain attire. Don sent us a lot of engagement photos and they all turned out beautifully!! I was very impressed and I am excited to work with him on videography and photography for our wedding day. Don is a very dedicated photographer and videographer. I can already see that it is his passion. He is very busy and books up fast so be considerate of his responses! He truly does try to get back to me asap and I haven't had any problems with communication the last couple months working with him. He is always awesome on calling me and touching base with me and reviewing whatever needs to be reviewed. Thank you Don!

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. She took the time to get to know us as a couple and it showed in the photos. She scoped out the venue ahead of time and communicated with the venue regarding any rules/regulations she needed to know. 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%.

We couldn't have been more pleased with Dayton and would have chosen him ourselves. He met with us before to make sure he got all the photos we wanted and was awesome to work with the day of the ceremony. Super personable and willing to do anything we asked.

No one deserves this level of unprofessionalism. Dayton is literally in the background of a photo,…read moretaken by one of my guests, with his camera ON HIS HIP as my bridesmaids are making their way down the aisle. An hour in to my event start time Dayton was standing around socializing with my wedding guests. When I noticed and asked what he was doing, he acted confused. I informed him that he should already be taking photos since he was paid for the full 6 hour event. He began taking them, but asked me periodically throughout MY WEDDING DAY what kind of photos I wanted him to take/what other ideas I had. I feel any professional photographer should be able to answer this on their own. After dinner, which he was invited to join us for, he was again sort of loitering with some guests until my husband went and tipped him (for no reason other than the fact that it is just proper etiquette.) I guess receiving a tip, prompted some new found enthusiasm in him as he then started taking pictures again and asking me for ideas on what kind of pictures I wanted. This finally all culminated with just a bunch of portrait taking, outside, as we were losing the sunlight.... Actually getting the photos was another ordeal in itself. He mailed them out in a paper mailer the first time, which showed up empty with a split in the side. I can't help feeling a little awkward that some stranger probably has a copy of my wedding photos. I contacted him and he said he would mail them out that day. After not receiving them for two weeks, I reached out to touch base and received no response from Dayton for 5 days. When I finally heard from him he claimed that he had not been able to get back to me because he had been on an extended shoot, but had mailed the photos out two days prior. So I guess he could make it to the post office, but not answer his phone? When I finally received the photos, there were only 243, not the 300-400 I was promised. Editing was incredible poor. Many were either too dark or overexposed. Angles were strange and many not centered properly. There were some things that should have been cropped out if not avoided entirely (ie- and ugly broken utility box on the wall he took some of my husband's portraits against.) There we're also some photos that I remembered him taking that were left out entirely. A photo of myself on the staircase which was probably my favorite of myself that day, as well as a photo of my cousin and I and one of me and a close friend. I reached out to him to see about getting those photos and again, received no response for 4 days. When he did respond (December 21), he said that he was spending time with family and didn't have good phone connection, but would mail out the rest of wedding photos the first week of January. It is now the first week of February and I haven't heard from Dayton or received any photos.
