Best wedding photographer in stl

Hands down the best decision we made for our wedding!

If you're stressed about picking a wedding photographer, seriously just stop looking and book Montey. ClayMakerPhotos was incredible from start to finish.
On the actual wedding day, Montey was a total rockstar. He showed up early, totally knew what he was doing, and immediately made everyone feel comfortable. I’m usually so awkward in front of a camera, but he made it feel completely natural and fun. He was great at directing us for the couple portraits, but he also just blended into the background during the reception to catch the best candid moments. Half the time we didn't even notice he was there, but he somehow caught every single laugh and tear.
The final photos are absolutely stunning. The lighting, the colors, the tiny details—everything is perfect. Plus, he got the gallery back to us way faster than we expected, and his pricing is incredibly reasonable for how much work he puts in.
Montey is just a genuinely nice, hard-working guy who cares about making your day perfect. We honestly couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out!

A photographer with an eye!

Damontony took our family fall pictures at Forest Park, and he did such a great job! He really has an eye for capturing those special, candid moments that make photos feel so meaningful. He had his hands full with our toddler and dog but he made it so easy. When he shared the final edits everything looked beautiful. We absolutely love how our pictures turned out and would highly recommend him!
