    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    Rez was awesome! He was fun and energetic and there was never any doubt that we were in good hands. The communication was great before, during, and after, and the prices were clear and reasonable. Rez had so many good ideas and scoped out a couple of spots near the venue to get some beautiful and unique shots. I highly recommend Shari Photography.

    Just outstanding from start to finish. There's nothing he did wrong. From the moment we met him, to the fast communications leading up to out wedding and after, to his energy and incredible patience on the day- Rez was just incredible. He never slowed down on the day and even when things did not go according to plan (like 1 hour late to the wedding with me freaking out!!) he was so calm and thoughtful. He was the one that kept me from losing it and even made me and my girls enjoy it in spite of everything. I am so grateful he was my photographer. And of course the pictures are breathtaking. I love love love them. Thank you so much. There are no words to say other than book this man!

    Having Rez photograph our wedding was the best decision I made. From first contact through the wedding itself he was responsive, friendly, and totally on top of it. He and his second photographer Jayson captured the essence of our wedding – we are THRILLED with the photos. My friends and family can't say enough about how gorgeous the photos are. He is so good technically and knows what he's doing with cameras and lenses and camera settings. He was always adjusting to make sure the photo looked gorgeous and that the light was right. He knew how to photograph me at the most flattering angle and I really appreciated how he gave me some subtle suggestions on where to look or place my hand. It didn't make me look phony; it just made it so that he captured my face at the most flattering angle or my waist looked slim even though I was wearing a dress that billowed out in the skirt.

    No one could believe how professional he was during the wedding. He had two cameras slung over his shoulders and captured every moment without being obtrusive. We had a small wedding and we didn't even know that Rez and Jayson were there. But they managed to get amazing intimate photos. I loved the portraits and the photo-journalism style photos of the guests enjoying happy hour or toasting during the toasts.

    He also got the photos to us SO quickly! I've heard that it can take a really really long time to get wedding photos from some photographers but Rez is an efficient worker and he doesn't take longer than he needs to. Great prices - you're getting the best for a reasonable price.

    I can't recommend Rez and his team enough! You will not regret hiring him!

    What an amazing photographer! We are thrilled we found him to do our wedding. He's a true photographer with incredible knowledge of cameras and the technical side and so creative. I was worried about booking a weekend photographer- someone's whose got a sort of decent camera and does it to make some money on the side. I know Rez was not going to be that guy. He's such a professional in every way. Great prices- great pictures- great service.

    Anyone looking for a wedding photographer in STL, KC, or Illinois, I highly recommend @shariphotography. Rez and Jayson were a blast to work with, and I am in love with all of pictures we have received back. Rez made my day go so smoothly, and he had a ton of ideas for posing! so, when someone like me who is easy going and not particular about many poses, it was great because he always had a vision. My bridal party loved both Rez and Jayson, they were a blast!

    Rez did our engagement pictures and he was amazing! We are getting married in Mexico and if we could take him we would! Rez was so responsive to our requests and really fun to work with. We actually did not want the session to end it was so enjoyable and it was a hut humid evening in St Louis.
    We loved the pictures we got from him. They really captured our personalities and how we feel about each other.
    Thank you Rez!

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!
