We are in the process of wedding planning and, though we did not book Erica, I wanted to attest to…read moreher professionalism and thoroughness. I contacted Erica in December when I was soliciting many price quotes from photographers in the STL area. She provided me answers to my more basic questions like: What do you usually get to in your 8hr/9hr/and 10hr packages? Cost of packages? Shooting locations? She also went above and beyond at giving me a sense of more in-depth aspects of her work; she was able to send me a post of work she had done at both our wedding venue and our reception venue. Finally, when I requested some time to prioritize nailing down my venue before photographer and asked her to follow up in late January, she was one of three photographers out of 15 who actually did follow up! She has an attention to detail admirable in a photographer. We did not book Erica because we decided to go with a photographer with a slightly different editing style, but I would have no qualms encouraging friends to book with Erica. No wonder she's been in business since 2006!

Norma was humorous and patient throughout the day and made the entire day continuously exciting and fun! Emily was open to our photography inspiration and took the extra time and effort on our wedding day. Our photos look phenomenal and we couldn't have asked for a better group to work with. I truly appreciate Trotter for the exceptional work they do as we have had the great honor and experience to choose them to capture our wedding day. -Fernando & Jennifer Sunset Bluffs Venue 10/30/21

I looked through MANY local photographers prior to booking and decided to go with Jameson Nicholas Photography due to her consistent editing style and quality and I was not disappointed. If you are looking for a family photographer in the St. Louis area, look no further! You won't be disappointed.

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.

The first time that I saw Switzerfilm I knew without a doubt that I HAD to have them for my wedding…read moreday. Switzerfilm was the first vendor that I called after getting engaged and I told them that I would pick my wedding day based on whatever availability they had. From start to finish, they were wonderful, creative, professional, and an absolute joy to work with. Switzerfilm was by far my favorite part of our wedding day. They made me feel so special throughout the whole day. My husband never likes getting his picture taken, but even he loved Switzerfilm. They were able to capture the most amazing photographs and video footage. I had very high expectations of Switzerfilm from the very beginning and they surpassed what I had even pictured in my head. The pricing is very comparable, especially when you figure in that you have full rights to all of your pictures afterwards. Out of all the amazing things that Switzerfilm does right, the same day edit completely blew me away. They will put the video on a huge projector screen so the whole reception can enjoy it. To have the whole reception stop, walk away from the bar, and be completely quiet is nothing short of a miracle. Switzerfilm has THAT affect. After our video was played I had countless people come up to me and tell me how perfect it was and how they want/wished they had that at their wedding. My parents are still getting stopped by people in the grocery store 5 months later telling them how much they enjoyed our video. It is the most perfect keepsake from our wedding that we will truly enjoy for a lifetime. I am forever thankful to Switzerfilm for helping me have the wedding of my dreams!

We learned about…read moreSwitzerfilm through mutual friends who used them for their recent wedding and after seeing only a few samples of their photography and videos, we knew instantly they had the style, professionalism and creativity that we wanted for our own upcoming wedding.

Switzer is truly a hidden gem - can't wait for the wedding!!!! Check out their website!!

Pro's: Great location, friendly and professional staff. My hair and makeup was just what I asked…read morefor (I was worried it was too much but it looked perfect in the pics). The photographer made me feel comfortable and beautiful and had great pose ideas (although I wish they'd have used the blue wall a little more in my shoot, it was so pretty). And the order was a week early to the quoted time so that was all great. Con's: My biggest beef was the misleading language of the 'deal'. I can't be the only person who believes "CD of 20 images" implies high resolution. Does anyone else see the irony in having a CD that is 'best viewed by phone' (as she described when I was picking out my pics). They weren't kidding either, 36-40kb. Really people? Ok well at least allow me to buy untouched high resolution images, you already have them and won't have to do any work, the lighting was so great I didn't need touchups. Nope they won't sell untouched full res images. Well you are losing easy business then. Might wanna rethink that. Overall great experience but buyer beware that the 'deal' isn't really what you might think.

Chris is an amazing photographer, she is actually very good with kids and overall she's a very creative artist. When you come to the studio you immediately see that the people who run the studio have a very good taste. First I was scared to do my makeup and hair because I used to wear my makeup in a certain way, but Stacy made me absolutely beautiful, so my husband was truly amazed. I'm very happy with all my pictures, they are beautiful. I would recommend The Studio to every one of my friends.

My wife and I cannot say enough about Rue de la Vie. From start to finish, they have exceeded our…read moreevery expectation. Macy and Jeremy, relative newlyweds themselves, are supremely talented. They produce incredible videos by combining precisely edited footage, perfectly appropriate music, and intriguing graphics. Everyone we have shared the videos with has been completely blown away, and many are brought to tears. Macy and Jeremy don't just document the day's events; they work tirelessly to ensure their footage tells a compelling story. We chose to add the "love story" to our wedding package. Macy and Jeremy made the process incredibly easy. We live in Chicago, so Macy quickly set up a dropbox account for us to upload pictures and other documents. The "Love Story" turned out so well we ended up playing it on a loop at our reception! They created a short highlight reel that we could easily share online with family and friends. It proved to be a perfect recap of the entire night. They listened to our preferences and what we were hoping to achieve with each video. They incorporated everything we wanted - including last minute song changes (sorry, Macy) - to ensure we were thrilled with the final product. We cannot imagine the hours that went into crafting these videos, but we were amazed by the quality of work and how quickly they turned them around. We were also extremely impressed with the value of Rue de la Vie's services. After seeing the finished product, we gladly would've paid double what they charged. Last, but certainly not least, Macy and Jeremy are just great people. They are so passionate about what they do and fully understand how important these videos end up being for their clients. We feel incredibly lucky to have found them and would, and will, recommend them to anyone looking for awesome videographers.
