Best in Missouri

There aren't enough superlatives to describe Lana (Art & Soul Photography). She's a supremely talented photographer and delightful person. We felt very blessed to work with her on our wedding day. She was very accommodating and gracious throughout the planning process. The photos turned out spectacular. Whether you're in Missouri or need a photographer for a destination wedding I highly recommend Art & Soul Photography.

Lana is wonderful! She is a highly talented photographer, but just as importantly, she is really nice to work with. She put my husband and I, as well as our entire bridal party, at ease during both our engagement photo shoot in November 2011 and also on the day of our wedding, 9/29/12. Lana made 3 hours of photos between the ceremony and reception into a fun part of the day (it has the potential to be a long, tiresome stretch). Several members of my bridal party commented on how fun Lana is throughout the day.

I appreciate how discreet Lana was during our wedding ceremony. I didn't notice her at all. I've been to weddings in the past with other photographers and it feels like a paparazzi event with photographers everywhere - crossing the room, blocking the views of the guests, etc. Lana didn't do that at all.

Lana did an amazing job on our engagement photos - I still get compliments on them almost a year later. I can't wait to see our wedding photos! She estimated that I would be able to see them online one week after the wedding.

I would absolutely recommend Lana to any friend, family member, or co-worker with an upcoming wedding (or any other event that needs a photographer).

This photographer did an excellent job! She took creative quality shots for the engagment photos which we used in our wedding invitations. At the wedding she and her crew were relaxed, professional and very flexible and personable. The family and wedding party commented on how enjoyable they were to work with. At the end of the wedding we were very pleased with their services. However, when we got to see the photos just one week after the wedding, we went from very pleased to ecstatic! The photos are all wonderful! She did an excellent job of capturing a very unique atmosphere that day and we couldn't have chosen a better photographer and crew!

They captured the greatest moments of our wedding perfectly. Very professional and very creative. The ideas were great and the photos were even better. I highly recommend Art and Soul Photography to anyone who wants great wedding photos to look back on and smile.

Art and Soul Photography was first class in every way during our wedding. They tailored the shoots to fit our personalities and was extremely easy to work with.
They even adjusted their shoot schedule when ours was changed. I recommend them highly!

Don't hesitate to go with Art & Soul Photography for your wedding day! Lana is the best -- professional but warm, she will connect with you and make you feel comfortable. Her style is beautiful, and she and her staff always manage to capture special moments. In fact, I had to add extra pages to my album because I just couldn't pare down my photos...there were just too many that I had to have! Lana was awesome at my wedding...in fact, she even snuck into the photobooth and added an extra-special touch to my guest book! Loved having her present at my special day.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Art & Soul Photography came highly recommended to us from the University of Missouri for the work Lana has done capturing many of their events. We were delighted to have one of our Bride's book Lana for a wedding this summer. From the initial meeting to the final book being mailed the couple and myself were very impressed with the personal service from Art & Soul Photography. Lana takes time to really get to know the couple and find out about the unique details for their special day. The photos are gorgeous and I know the couple, and their families, will cherish them forever. - Anne Churchill, Owner & Event Planner of AnnaBelle Events & Rentals
