Hiring Loria to be my wedding photographer was one of the best wedding decisions we made! From start to finish, her work and communication was stellar. She made the wedding photography process as smooth as it possibly could be, especially being a COVID bride. She started the communication process several months before the wedding to get to know me and my preferred style. We had such a blast at the included engagement shoot, and my husband even said it was the most fun he had ever had taking pictures. It rained on our engagement shoot but Loria took incredible pictures and the rainy shots turned out so well! She was very professional and timely on the wedding day and I was blown away by the quality and and quantity of photos that she took. Every single picture she took is so treasured! My wedding was on an overcast fall day but whether it was the lighting she provided, her editing, or her talent, the pictures were bright and colorful. She also took many pictures of the small details of the day that I would have forgotten about if I did not have any pictures of. My favorite pictures showed the raw emotion and joy of the day, the emotions that are hard to capture on camera. I especially loved all of the small treats that she sent us leading up to the wedding that were super fun to receive! The photos came back so quickly and were beautifully edited and she helped to put together a photo album for us. She was quick with all email communications and I felt that the wedding photos were not something that I needed to ever worry about. My family loved her, my wedding party loved her, we loved her and I have had countless people tell me that my wedding pictures were some of the best that they had seen! I can't thank Loria enough for sharing her time and talent with us!

Loria helped to make our engagement and wedding incredibly special. I actually had the privilege of meeting Loria as the photographer at my friends wedding. I was able to get a first hand look at how she operated prior to hiring her! Let me tell you- she is OUTSTANDING!!! First of all, our engagement shoot was so much fun! She had great ideas for location and poses for the shoot. She was open to all of our ideas and contacted one of our locations ahead of time to ask for permission to take photos. She really helped my husband and I feel relaxed while taking photos, which neither of us feel comfortable doing! She also included our dogs in the shoot, which was very important to us! As for our wedding... Loria and her staff were AMAZING. They arrived early, took photos of the bridal party getting ready, and caught adorable candid shots. She did a great job of capturing the essence of our venue and the atmosphere of our guests. She was able to capture every important shot we requested and assisted with managing certain family members who presented as difficult. The photos turned out BEAUTIFUL and I had a hard time identifying my favorites for an album (there were too many favorites!). After the wedding, Loria worked patiently with me to create the perfect wedding album. Loria was always easy to contact and always responded promptly to my questions! I also LOVED the small gifts that she sent throughout our engagement. It made working with Loria that much more special and personalized.

Loria is kind, caring, timely, professional, and a delight to work with. I highly recommend her for your special day! I am excited to continue to refer her to my friends for their Wedding Day!

My wife and I found Loria on The Knot as we were searching for wedding photographers. After an interview, we liked her so much that we didn't feel the need to search any further (she was the very first photographer we interviewed). Our wedding was 05/13/2017 and we were so happy with her work that we've used her services multiple times since then! Loria and her team are highly recommended!

Loria was so great to work with for our engagement shoot and wedding day! She made us feel relaxed and comfortable the entire time. Everyone who has seen our photos absolutely loves them, including us! Loria had a great vision for our wedding day weeks in advance and was able to recommend some of the best locations to shoot at! This was especially great and appreciated since neither of have that great instinct and vision that Loria has! Loria was fast at responding to my emails with all of my questions, and she even took the time on several occasions to sit down and talk to us face to face about our wedding. We would definitely recommend Loria to other couples who are getting married!

I was 100% satisfied with our engagement and wedding photos! My best friend had Loria as her photographer and I absolutely loved the way they turned out. Plus I am very insecure about myself so I loved the way I turned out in the photos for my best friends wedding. So I decided to have her do my wedding. I never doubted how the photos would turn out because Loria just knows what she is doing! I loved the fact that Loria also asks if you have any insecurities. She knows what poses to go by what you tell her. Loria really goes the extra mile with spending time getting to know us and personalizing our experience. After the first meet up with Loria, she just seems like a friend you have known for a very long time.

Loria is absolutely the best! Very professional and so fun! Every single picture is absolutely breathtaking! The poses are fun and easy and she really knows her stuff! She had an assistant to help capture all the people in the wedding and different things going on at the same time. She is easy to work with if you have ideas and at the same time has plenty of great ideas if you have trouble thinking of them. Loria really goes the extra mile with spending time getting to know us and personalizing our experience. I'm so glad she was our photographer to make our special day even more special!

I love photography, and have a huge appreciation for the art and how different each photographer can capture memories in a photo. I had a vision for how I wanted my big day to be captured, and Loria nailed it.
She's creative and understanding, she learns your "good angles" and most importantly she makes the experience fun and enjoyable. It's like you are hanging out with one of your good friends when you work with her, and her charm and positivity will quickly make you want to be besties. Other than the amazing pictures we have our all our family and friends, Loria made us feel extra special with her care packages she sent throughout our engagement. She is such a caring person and I am beyond grateful to have come across her work so we could have her as our wedding photographer and new friend. I would highly recommend her to anyone getting married in the STL area and have suggested her to several friends already.

Loria was, by far, the best decision we made for our wedding. From the very beginning of our wedding planning experience, she was a source of constant support and reassurance. Over our year-long engagement, Loria stayed in contact with us, even sending sweet gifts along the way. I have very little experience with any sort of photo shoot, so I was very nervous and awkward during our engagement session. Loria went out of her way to make sure I was comfortable and it turned out to be a very fun day. The pictures were phenomenal, but what sets Loria apart is her personality and ability to connect with the couples she works with. I had absolutely no stress regarding my photography going into my wedding day. I knew Loria would capture every moment and she did. My husband is one of 9 children, so I was curious how our family shot would turn out with so many siblings, nieces and nephews. When we got them back (less than a month after our wedding!) I was blown away. She had somehow managed to wrangle such a large group and had everyone's attention, even the small children. Several of my guests commented on how impressed they were with Loria, how she was always present but never in the way, had professional lighting that really made pictures pop, and managed to capture so many "moments" as opposed to strictly staged photos. The portrait photographs were gorgeous; it is impossible to even choose a favorite. She has a true gift with photography and going through our photographs has been a way to relive the day all over again. She really captured the joy of the day. If I could give a rating higher than 5-star to Loria, I would in a heartbeat. The photographs alone are amazing, but the experience she provides is absolutely priceless.
With all our gratitude,

We had our engagement photos done just a couple days ago, and I cannot say enough about how amazing Loria is!! My fiance and I had so much fun having our photos taken by her - she made us feel super relaxed and comfortable in front of the camera! She is a true professional who will capture who you are as a couple and make sure you are happy with the photos! We cannot wait to see our pictures. I already know they are going to be perfect :)
If you are looking for a photographer in the St Louis area, definitely consider Loria!

Loria was our wedding/engagement photographer of choice. We are absolutely thrilled with our decision!! She was nothing short of amazing. Loria captured the most beautiful photos of our engagement and wedding day. People have continuously complimented us on how great our photos are. The thing we admired most about her is that she really cared about making our wedding day a success as much as we did. She even sent us a box of treats a few days before the wedding as a “stress reliever” present! Taking photos during your wedding day can be a repetitive and overwhelming task. Loria made it very stress-free and fun for us as well as the bridal party! If you are in need of a photographer, look no further! Choose Loria!! Thanks to her, we will be able to look back on the most fun and memorable moments of our wedding for our entire lives!
