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!
