We loved our Trotter Photo (Booth) Experience!

We hired Trotter Photo for the photo booth at our reception and we are so so happy we did so! If you are on the fence - I highly recommend! We loved having a photo booth because it's a fun activity as well as a built in favor for guests! It was such a hit! We loved that we got a digital download of all of the pictures so that we could laugh along with the fun memories our guests made throughout the night and loved how everything turned out! Trotter gives a lot of options in terms of photo layout, font, color and design so we really got to personalize it to our liking! Due to the pandemic, we were unable to have photo booth props (which we totally understood and agreed with) but our pictures were just as fun, exciting, and memorable without them! Their customer service was amazing, we loved how easily they set up & took down during our reception and no one even noticed the set up in the background, and the price was perfect too! Highly recommend!

(NOTE: Our wedding was in August 2021, not sure what their policy on props is at the time of this review - I'm just delayed on getting reviews posted)

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️


Our photographer, Emily was beyond exceptional on our wedding day! Additionally, the videographer and second photographer, Nora were also great and we couldn’t have done it with these three! Norma was humorous and patient throughout the day and made the entire day continuously exciting and fun! Emily was open to our photography inspiration and took the extra time and effort on our wedding day. Our photos look phenomenal and we couldn’t have asked for a better group to work with. I truly appreciate Trotter for the exceptional work they do as we have had the great honor and experience to choose them to capture our wedding day.

Pick Trotter!

We used Trotter Photo for all 3 services: photo, video, and photo booth. We have not seen our pictures yet, but the planning process and day-of were more than perfect! Everyone LOVED the photo booth (we did the Buzz) and both photographer and videographer were very professional. We highly recommend them for everything!

I am not exaggerating when I say that working with our photographer from Trotter Photo was the the best part of our wedding day (besides getting married of course). We had an indoor/outdoor wedding on May 26th, and most of our photography was done outside. We selected an 8 hour coverage package with a second photographer for 3 hours, and the planning sheet that Trotter provides really helped us to structure our day and prioritize our photography time. Our photographer David was amazing to work with. He called us in the week before our wedding to go through all of the details of the day - the schedule, the preferred shots that we wanted, the details of the venue, etc. We made some adjustments to our initial timeline based on David’s suggestions and they were worth it! David arrived early to familiarize himself with the grounds of the venue and the adjacent park, and he selected some areas where he really wanted to get some shots. David was genuinely enthusiastic about working with us and our wedding party. I initially dreaded the idea of taking three hours’ worth of pictures outside in the humid heat (especially in a wedding gown), but David made the time fun and kept up the energy level. During the reception, David made sure to get pictures of the guests, the dancing, and even moments that I later looked at and thought, “When did he even have time to take this?!” We received our photos about four weeks after our wedding and were so excited by the quality and variety of the pictures. Overall, working with Trotter and our photographer was fun, easy, and took some stress out of the day because we knew were were in good hands.

Every aspect of our Wedding Photography from the initial planning, discussing options, the wedding day shoot, and all the follow up by the Trotter team was fabulous. We so appreciate your work and professionalism in capturing our day perfectly. Trotter exceeded all of our expectation. There is none better in St. Louis. Nicely Done! Ray & Kim DeBerge

This company is the best you can work with in St Louis. Professional and excellent quality. We loved all of our photos and can't wait to see the finished products. Matt was the greatest photographer to work with and we can't be happier than the way we are with Trotter. The Photobooth service was incredible too. We had a lot of friends and family come up and tell us that they loved the service and the lady running it that night. You do not need to look any further when it comes to photos for your big day than Trotter.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
