About

It is my goal when documenting one of the most important events of your life to allow the wedding day to unfold naturally. This way I can capture all those spontaneous moments that make the day special and help me tell the unique story of your wedding day.

My style is deeply rooted in documentary photography. After graduating from the University of Missouri-Columbia with a degree in photojournalism, I spent seven years working as a staff photojournalist at daily newspapers in Kansas City, northern Utah and suburban Chicago. I am now a St. Louis-based freelance photographer, completing domestic and international assignments for a variety of editorial, corporate and non-profit clients in addition to photographing weddings. My work has appeared in publications such as The New York Times, Newsweek, The Washington Post and USA Today. I am a member of the Wedding Photojournalist Association, National Press Photographers Association and American Society of Media Photographers. My editorial portfolio can be viewed at www.whitneycurtis.com.

My sister hired Whitney to be her wedding photographer, and after seeing the pictures I knew I wanted her to photograph my own wedding. From the first meeting, Whitney showed professionalism and a genuine interest in what my (now) husband and I found important and how to incorporate our own personalities through our photos. Whitney and her assistant did not disappoint on the day of our wedding - they were flexible and pleasant to work with, AND they beautifully captured not only the big moments, but the smaller moments that may have gone unseen. She has a great eye for detail. They also did a good job of getting a comprehensive collection of photos without being a distraction to the ceremony and reception. I am so happy with my photo collection from that day, and I owe it all to Whitney. Next time I need a professional photographer, I'll be calling her up.

We had a wonderful experience with Whitney. She always impressed us with her attentiveness and responsiveness leading up to the wedding day. She and her assistant seemed to be everywhere during the wedding day without being in the way. Our friends and family were blown away by our photos. Our wedding album turned out beautifully. Thank you Whitney for the wonderful memories you captured.

Whitney did a great job photographing my wedding. She took high quality, natural photos. I'm so excited to get my photo album and plan to order one for both our parents. Now that the stress/blur of the wedding is over, it's been great to be able to look through and enjoy my photos. Thanks for the memories Whitney!

Whitney was by far our favorite vendor to work with on our wedding day. From the start she listened to our needs and she was very responsive to any questions we had leading up to our wedding day. Our photos are absolutely beautiful. I continue to get compliments on our wedding photos and album from family and friends.

Whitney did an AMAZING job!!! We lived out of town and she was very flexible with our schedules so we could actually meet in person before the wedding weekend. And I personally wanted more than just the usual stock wedding photos, what drew me to Whitney was her documentary style of photography, and her ability to really capture a moment, not just a snap shot. We will cherish our Wedding photos and our lovely photo album for the rest of our lives!! We HIGHLY recommend Whitney Curtis Photography!!

Whitney and her assistant were wonderful! She made things smooth and seemless and helped reduce the stress by telling me what works best for group photos and ideas on where we could go to get some great "in the moment" shots. She was very responsive and prompt. She would think about things before I even did, and let me know when to expect photos, cds, etc... We booked her over a year in advance and I always felt as if I was the only client she was working with. I would recommend her to everyone! Fabulous photographer!

We absolutely loved our engagement photos and we couldn’t have been happier with our wedding photos. She captured our wedding day beautifully!
