Easy. Get in touch via my contact form and let’s schedule a Zoom meeting! After our meeting I’ll email you a booking link, which allows you to sign your contract and pay your retainer online.

Yes. I customize a photography package for every client. You’ll start with the Base Package, then add the items and services you wish to include.
base package: $4500 // average investment $7500+
-
Yes. The retainer is 50% of the total due, with the remaining 50% due 30 days before the wedding. If you would like a different payment plan simply let me know.

My goal is to document how your wedding day felt, not only how it looked. My approach is photojournalistic. I work quietly and attentively, and always with a smile. I feel my job is to be a “love reflector.” On your wedding day, I’m surrounded by immense love and happy hearts, and it is my job to reflect it all back in pictures. I focus on capturing emotion and relationships, and I deliver images that encapsulate all the feelings and fun of your day. I have a knack for calming nerves about being photographed, and a few compliments I often receive are:
“You felt more like a guest at our wedding.”
“How did you get that shot, we didn’t even notice you were there!”
“I feel like I look like myself in all the photos.”
-
Yes! In fact, this is my specialty. I create one-of-a-kind, fine art, luxury wedding albums. The process includes a custom-designed cover and thoughtfully curated pages that tell the story of your happiest day. Be sure to check out the Wedding Albums Section of my website to see some examples!
-
YES. I celebrate and document love - ALL LOVE! Authenticity and inclusivity are at the core of what I do.
-
Yes. I mainly photograph weddings in the St. Louis area, but I am available to photograph anywhere in the world. I’ve photographed weddings in the Bahamas, Mexico, Ireland, St. Lucia, and across the US.
-
There are no travel costs for locations within 100 miles of St. Louis MO. If farther travel is required by car, the only cost reimbursement is for gas, calculated at 25 mpg. If overnight stay is required, accommodation at a hotel near the wedding location is to be provided. Travel by plane requires the cost of flight, hotel, and transportation.
-
This is an understandable concern! While it’s an unlikely scenario, rest assured I would do everything in my power to provide a talented and professional substitute, whose work, style, and values are similar to my own. Having been a St. Louis photographer for 15+ years, I am part of an extensive network of very talented St. Louis photographers. I am proud to say in these rare situations, we have always worked together to help each other out, and provide our clients with a seamless photography experience.

Ultimately it depends on the number of hours, but for frame of reference, I typically deliver between 500 and 700 images for an 8 hour wedding day. Your high-resolution images are fully edited, ready for print, and delivered via digital download straight to your computer.
-
Absolutely. You may print your photos at a lab of your choice, OR if you’d like to order professional, fine art prints and other exclusive products, you may do so through your personalized gallery + print store.
-
Yes. Fully insured.
-
You’ll receive sneak peeks within 48 hours, and you’ll receive your complete gallery within 6-8 weeks of your wedding. Sometimes sooner, however, exquisite quality is my highest priority!
-
Yes of course! While capturing real moments is my specialty, I’m also very skilled with posed photos. I have a calm, sincere, and playful way of directing people, which results in the posed photos looking very natural and always flattering. I am especially great at arranging family and group photos, and often receive compliments afterwards how fun, quick, and organized they felt! I know the opportunity for these photos are extremely rare and important to your families, and I deeply enjoy making them. I give the same care and attention to the little details of your day as well. I have an eye for aesthetic, and it is my mission to capture every detail in a thoughtful and artistic way.
-
Excellent question! In a sense, there is no minimum, nor maximum number of photos that may be taken. Jeremy brings an overabundance of film to ensure he never runs out. His goal is for everyone to go home with at least one polaroid! He will of course do multiple polaroids for anyone who would like one, at any time.
-
I only photograph one wedding per weekend, unless they are small weddings, then occasionally I will do two. (but this is rare!)
I do this to ensure that all my couples get me at 100% energy, presence, and creativity levels.
