"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!
"Our engagement photos were also FANTASTIC! Calen and Dayton gave us the perfect guidance and were able to get so many different locations in such a short time.
"Choosing a photographer was daunting, but we couldn't have made a better decision. Bill, Calen, and Dayton made us so comfortable and were so fun to hang out with during our day. They met with us a few times before our big day to make sure we had everything nailed down and helped with so many details we didn't even know were needed before and during the day. We can't recommend them enough!!"
"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."
"The photographer was so professional, but also warm and friendly. He was able to capture our wedding day beautifully, including our quirky personalities! 11/10 would recommend!"
"Dayton, Bill, and Calen did our engagement photos and they were fantastic to work with. They made us laugh and feel very comfortable. We're so glad we did the engagement shoot before our wedding to get to know them better. And the photos we got were great!"
"Bill and Dayton are exceptional photographers! They made us feel like royalty during our shoot! Very fun, funny, and professional! My husband and I had the best time with them! Would highly recommend!!!! I can’t wait to see more photos 😍"

"The whole team were so pleasant to work with, and made the experience casual and comfortable. My other half hates getting his picture taken, and they made the experience pretty painless for him.
"They were beyond easy to schedule, and their platform was easy to use, and they were on time and ready to start at our scheduled appointment.
"The pictures captured intimate interactions and displayed a side of ourselves that we don’t always get in photos.
"It was a pleasure to work with Lion of the Valley Team, and would encourage others to do the same. ;)"
"Lion of the Valley has a particular style that I really appreciate. It’s very real. Their photos make me feel as if I was right back in the event."
"If you ask me, having your photo taken can be awkward. Lucky for me: 1. My fiancé makes me look REALLY good, and... 2. Lion of the Valley makes it WAY less awkward. We had the pleasure of working with Bill and Calen for our photoshoot, and honestly, it was a blast having them show us around the Central Public Library in St. Louis. Not only did we get to explore an amazing space, we also got to connect with Bill and Calen on a personal level. They made it super easy to become instantly comfortable enough to let loose and goof around a little, which made our photos that much better! I would recommend them to anyone in a heartbeat simply because they were so easy to work with. They also provide creative services like branding, invites, and videography. Looking forward to working with them again in the future!"
"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!"
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Get in touch with us to discuss your requirements and let's create magic together.
