It’s your story. The adventure that led you to this place is yours and yours alone, and we want to be your storytellers. You aren’t generic – you are original, and your wedding photos should reflect that. We want you to take home a piece of your big day that truly represents who you are. And we have a hell of a lot of fun while doing it. Let’s laugh and tell your story together.

Smiling couple taking portrait in downtown st louis

Lion of the Valley captured our day PERFECTLY! Not only did they capture every single detail, but we also truly felt the fun, love, and excitement of the day through our photos. My husband and I definitely aren't the most natural when getting our photos taken, but you would never know that from our wedding photos. Bill and Dayton gave us the best cues to help us pose and capture our best selves and made it so FUN! We've already gotten so many compliments on our photos. We were also so pleasantly surprised that they got some of our photos from that day up and displayed at our reception!

Couple kissing in a blue lit space

You need to book them NOW for your wedding day. Bill and Dayton went above and beyond for us. They took the time to learn about us and what we wanted for the day. It was hanging out with your friends who happen to have cameras. But they also take extreme pride in their work. You can be confident that you will get the absolute best quality from these guys. We wouldn't trade these guys and their involvement on our big day for anything.

This team was wonderful to work with! We’re a little shy in pictures, but they made us feel so comfortable and really boosted our confidence the whole time. We were so happy with the results. They have a real talent for editing and shooting in unique lighting situations (we were in a low lit loft). Highly recommend!

Offering a variety of high-end services

Engagement Photography

We offer an engagement photo session as part of our packages because we think it's really important to get to know each other. When we have an opportunity to work out the kinks and learn about each other in advance of your wedding day, it feels more like friends hanging out than it does like sterile business deal. Plus it's easier to feel more comfortable and be more natural in your photos when you're just hanging with friends.

Wedding Day Coverage

Our comprehensive wedding photography coverage ensures that your entire special day is captured, from the moment you start getting ready to the ceremony, portraits, reception, and any other special events. We're dedicated to preserving every important detail and emotion, so you can relive your wedding day for years to come.

Second Shooter

We always have at least two photographers as part of all packages. We work alongside each other to capture more angles and candid moments throughout the day, ensuring that every special moment is captured beautifully. You'll have a wider variety of photos to choose from and more opportunities to relive your wedding day through stunning images.

High-Resolution Digital Images

You'll receive high-quality digital files of your wedding day images, delivered in a downloadable online gallery (guaranteed to be available for at least a year) and in USB format - all for you to keep and share as desired.

Online Gallery

For up to a year you can view your wedding images on a secure and user-friendly online gallery, where you and your loved ones can easily view and order prints of your wedding day photos. Plus, it's a great way to share your special moments with family and friends who couldn't be there on your big day.

Flexible Wedding Packages

We offer two carefully crafted wedding  packages, each designed to fit different needs and budgets - we've got you covered. And if neither package perfectly suits your needs, don't worry - we are flexible and can work with you to create a custom package that fits your unique wedding day.

Let's capture your love story, together.
