Highly Recommend!

Wonderful photographer. Easy to communicate with, took time to get to know what we wanted, and worked hard through the day. Pictures are exactly what we wanted. He captured the whole day and we got so many pictures. Very talented and attentive to what we were looking for. I and thrilled we booked Rez

Excellent Photographer

Rez and his team were amazing! They were exactly what we wanted. He was easy to get hold of, replied to our texts quickly, and had answers to all our questions. We didn't meet him until the day before the wedding because we live in Denver but all out families are in St Louis where the wedding was. He immediately made us feel comfortable. On the day, they arrived early, left late, and seemed to never stop taking pictures. They clearly love what they do. Our family commented on how impressive our photographers were. The pictures, when they arrived were lovely. They captured the whole day and so many beautiful pictures. Our wedding album was part of the package and it is amazing. There was one problem with the album and Rez corrected it by sending us a new one even though it wasn't his fault. He took care of everything to make sure we were totally happy. I am so happy we booked Rez for our wedding.

Awesome Photographer!

Rez photographed our wedding in June 2018. He was amazing to work with. He was so energetic through our day (about 10 hours), he arrived early, stayed late, and was just fantastic. He kept everything moving so smoothly. All my guests commented on how impressed they were with him. Your photographer does more than just take pictures- they literally run the day! You want someone who is experienced and confident in working with large groups. He was everything and more. He took charge in a fun and relaxed way. And of course the pictures were incredible. He got the whole day in a beautiful way. I am so so happy we booked Rez for our wedding.

Booked Rez based on recommendations and his reviews. Everything went perfectly with him. Very fast responses to texts and email questions. He took time to listen to what I wanted and asked lots of questions. On the day he never stopped working. I was looking for mostly documentary style- nothing too posed- and he delivered. Pictures came on a flash drive and I love them. They are exactly what I was looking for. There are lots of photographers out there, but I can’t say enough positives about Rez. You will not be disappointed.

Thank you Rez for every picture that you took. You did an absolute fantastic job working with everyone, having a excellent sense of humor and tolerating the cold weather with us. Without the pictures that you took the memories would have stayed on January 6th 2018 so because of you we can share some forever. Thanks again and I definitely will recommend you two more soon-to-be bride and groom's

Amazing experience with Rez. Everything about getting in touch, the consultation, the weeks leading up to the wedding, the actual wedding day, and of course the photographs was perfect. There is a reason why he has so many amazing reviews- he went above and beyond from start to finish. There were other photographers that I considered but in the end I knew he was going to be the best becuase of his whole approach to making me feel comfortable. His experience and knowledge was the biggest reason- I had total confidence in him which is something I did not get from the others. I am so thankful we booked Rez.

Fabulous experience from start to finish. He replies so quickly and has answers to every question I had. Our wedding was smaller but the did not stop him from going all out. He worked tirelessly and with so much energy. The pictures I received were spectacular! I’ve looked at them so many times. I am
Thrilled with everything provided.

Rez was the photographer at a wedding we DJed last spring in Benld, IL. He did a great job, as he was always right there for the best shots. He stayed late into the reception, as there are always some great shots late into the evening that some photographers miss! We would definitely recommend Shari Wedding Photography!

Randall Gallery Randall Gallery Historic Weddings

We had the pleasure of working with Rez this last year here at Randall Gallery. He is professional and detail oriented. He has a good eye and is very creative in his shooting. He stayed late into the evening and we were able to see many of his great shots after the event. You can't go wrong with Shari Wedding Photography!
