BEST wedding decision we made!!



We stumbled across the Photography Shoppe at a Bridal Show in St. Louis. At first, we were overwhelmed by the number of vendors at the show which included at least 100 different photographers. But, no matter how many photographers we saw, we kept coming back to the Photograhy Shoppe booth. The pictures were great, the prices were affordable, and Ross was extremely approachable and down to earth. We were sold.
From the very start, Ross was wonderful to work with. At our initial meeting, he patiently walked us through all of our package choices and explained the timeline of how everything would work. It was such a relief to work with a wedding vendor who felt more like a friend and less like a saleman!
Our engagement shoot was a couple of months later and went off without a hitch. Ross made it fun and made us feel comfortable all while getting some great shots. We received the CD of our pictures within two weeks of the shoot and were able to incorporate them in our wedding decorations.
The day of our wedding was the true test of how great Ross was. He arrived early and was set up before we even arrived. He moved quickly to get all of our family shots before the wedding (at our request). He captured every photo we asked. During the wedding itself, I didn't notice Ross or his assistant at all- which to me was amazing. I've been to lot of weddings where the photographer makes such a production that it distracts from the wedding itself. Ross, on the other hand, couldn't have been more discreet. Even my parents commented on how professional and polite Ross was.
The most amazing thing of all was that we received our wedding photos CD the day after we got home from our honeymoon! I couldn't believe how fast Ross had gotten everything together. The pictures were beautiful and there were so many to choose from.
We were thrilled with everything Photography Shoppe did for our wedding. We've recommeded them to two of our friends who are planning upcoming weddings and would recommend them to anyone planning a wedding in the St. Louis area. If you are looking for an affordable photographer who takes amazing pictures and treats you with respect and patience- the Photography Shoppe is for you!

My husband and I were married last month and were fortunate enough to have the Photography Shoppe for our wedding photography. We were impressed with everything! Their prices were very reasonable. They had a great payment plan. The customer service team was incredibly helpful, and our pictures are AMAZING! Exactly what we wanted and more. I have already recommended the Photography Shoppe to several friends

Our friend had used The Photography Shoppe for her wedding in June 2009, and she couldn't stop raving about how she loved her photographs and the entire experience. After looking at her pictures, I could understand why she was so happy... They were amazing! So, when my husband and I were looking for a photographer for our own wedding, we decided to check out The Photography Shoppe.
After comparing the reasonable prices and excellent quality with other photographers in Saint Louis, we knew we needed to check out this photography company. I met with Ross Peterson, the main photographer in Saint Louis, and decided to definitely go this route.
We were nervous at our engagement session, but Ross and his assistant, Tommy, made us feel a lot more comfortable. And, our pictures turned out beautifully. Ross was really helpful in getting our photographs to us in time for our wedding showers, even over-nighting the cds to us.
On the day of the wedding, we were so comfortable and loved working with our photographers. Our pictures were available for us to see online within couple days and we received so many comments from our friends about our wonderful pictures.
Right now, we are still choosing our pictures for our prints and photo albums and can't wait until we received those.
Thank you so much Ross, Tommy, and The Photography Shoppe for making our wedding day unforgettable. We are very satisfied with our decision.

Fantastic!

So when we were looking to find photographers for our wedding, we heard through friends that The Photography Shoppe was amazing and were really reasonably priced as well! We looked at their website and were really impressed by the beautiful and artful ways the photos looked. After meeting with Brendon Pinola in Birmingham, AL just once, we were pretty much hooked. Brendon is really easy going and down to earth, and totally made both the engagement session and the day of the wedding completely comfortable! We also worked with Colin on the day of the wedding, and although I hadn't met with him personally before, he meshed right in with everyone, and was so great! The packages are amazing and pretty much include all the sessions, hours, and photobooks you could want. Also - the BEST part about it is that you get a rights to all of your pictures, they send you a disc with all of them, black and white! Really - if you want the entire package deal and reasonable prices, The Photography Shoppe is the way to go!

Amazing pictures!



My husband and I were married in August and we could not be happier with our pictures! They were amazing. I can't tell you how many of our friends and family have commented on how great they were.
They were by far the best deal for your money also. We looked for a long time to find the right company and this is by far a stand out. You get a ton for your money, engagement session, bridal shoot, and 8 hours with two photographers the day of, two parent albums, flush mount album, and all the rights to your pictures color and black and white!
We had a blast with all of it. They made it fun for us and our pictures turned out perfect. Only problem I had was narrowing down the pictures to put in the album! Too many great ones to choose from.
Go with The Photography Shoppe and you will not be disappointed. :)

A day to remember!




Could not have been done better.... This is a review of Photography Shoppe
My husband and I have had the most wonderful experience with using Photography Shoppe to do our wedding pictures and engagement pictures.
We spent a number of months visiting photography companies looking for the best bang for our buck. (They say you get what you pay for).
Well, we got much more than what other photography companies offered, for half the price, but much better quality and service. Ross, our photographer was excellent for our engagement session and the wedding day. Friendly, prompt, cooperative, and very good at what he does... we are so glad we chose them! Our picture turn around was a week verses other companies that stated it would take them about a month and in some cases 3 months.
The photos were simply AMAZING!!!!! I would recommend Photography Shoppe to any and everyone. They ARE a 5 star photography business.

Photography Shoppe=Amazing!!

My wife and I knew that pictures were a very important part of our wedding. We wanted someone who would take the time to give us wonderful memories of our day and we found the perfect photographers!
We were married in October in a small rural northeast Georgia town and it was difficult to find a photographer that would come so far. But not only did we find one that would, we found a spectacular one! They came all the way from Atlanta and one even from Birmingham!
Nathan and Collin were our photographers and the pictures they took were wonderful. Brendon, out of Alabama, was our contact and he did everything he could to make sure we had what we needed. He was very quick in responding to emails and phone calls and when we did have one small issue it was quickly resolved!
Our engagement shoot was wonderful and Nathan, our photographer, took time with us to make sure we had the pictures we wanted. He even gave us more time that we were supposed to have!
We received our pictures within a month of our wedding and we were so happy with the way they turned out. We loved all the different angles and styles.
Thank you Photography Shoppe for a wonderful wedding experience. We can't wait to see our book!!!
