You can see it in our photos too--we look gorgeous and happy, but we also look like ourselves. Most importantly, though, we both felt validated and "seen" by her language and direction throughout the whole process. In an industry that insists on everything being so gendered, it felt really good to work with someone who understands that not everything fits into that binary. We definitely recommend Tawny, she was so great to work with!

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!!

We had to plan our STL metro area wedding from California and David was there for every step; from the first video chat planning session to staying several hours at my mother's house 4 months later to help us finish the album. We could not have done a cross-country wedding without him! 2) Communication: David will make sure you love you're pictures! He is takes very detailed notes and gives you plenty of time to reflect on what you want. The more details you can give him the better, so he knows exactly what to shoot for. We definitely needed a photographer who would "direct" the more formal portraits and he was on top of everything! 3) Wedding planning: David was very organized from the engagement contract, to the list of shots we needed, and everything in between. He went above and beyond, scouting different areas around the reception location to make sure we had plenty of options on the big day. We did several run throughs on paper and in person. He really acted like wedding planner! 4) Day of: First, David came for the rehearsal dinner even though it was not required. On the big day, he had a second shooter and an assistant (which we discussed). Everything was streamlined and coordinated. The crew was very reverent when needed, but also managed to capture a lot of private moments. After the ceremony, the crew worked with us to get family portraits and wedding party portraits in 2 different locations before heading to the reception! 5) Personal touches: David truly understands how to keep the experience personal. He sent us multiple surprises, on top of everything included in the package. He even hand delivered parent albums even when we could not! 6) Photos: They turned out so well, we did 40 spreads!!! We also paid to download all of the originals (minus doubles, blurred, etc). Choose Choice Jade Photography for your wedding and pick the whole day package! You won't regret it!

If something was missing or needed to be changed, they took care of it without a second thought. We were absolutely blown away with their photography skills. They were so patient and kept a smile on their faces despite the delays and hot weather. McKinley and Megan were always available to answer questions and were very prompt with their responses. We would definitely work with McKinley G. Photography again. We would recommend them in a heartbeat!

I spent over an hour editing and making comments for none of it to save. After having the photo unlocked and attempted again we still were having issues. I believe he's changed his set up now to make it more user friendly.

The way she wrangles and deals with reluctant and distracted people for family photos is quite amazing. Kim arrived very early and took many pictures from the beginning of make-up through the very end of the evening reception. Her creativity with shots is extremely impressive. She thinks of so many interesting aspects of the day that we would never have thought of and also kept track of the list of photos that we requested. Many people from both of our weddings mentioned how thorough and yet discreet she is. How do you do It Kim? I believe, just as you say, the love of taking amazing pictures that tell a beautiful story is your motivation.

We've been using Emily for pictures of our son during his first year. I wanted 3,6,9, and 12 month…read morepictures, and she was able to let me create a package that worked for what we wanted. I had shopped around quite a bit and her prices were really fair for what we were asking. There are definitely other photographers out there with lower quality work that are charging a lot more. So far we have done 3 and 6 month pictures and they are great. During our first session my son was really fussy since he was teething and hadn't had much of a nap that day. I thought for sure we wouldn't get many good pictures because he was in such a bad mood, but Emily was able to catch him smiling, and we got a lot of really cute pictures! When it was time for our 6 month pictures we had scheduled a time to meet at our home for the shoot. Again my son was having a hard time getting a good nap in, I called Emily and asked if it was possible push back 30 minutes in the hopes that we could get at least a few minutes of sleep in so he wouldn't cry during our whole session. She was really flexible and told us to just call whenever he woke up. He was able to get a good solid nap in and we really appreciated the flexibility that day. And again the pictures were amazing. She has really been able to capture his personality and us as a family together. I would recommend Emily to anyone looking for a photographer in the StL area. She has done a great job capturing our son's first year so far, and I can't wait for our next 2 sessions. We wouldn't hesitate to book more sessions with her in the future!

He's the best!
