    Phenomenal

    Memories Are Forever exceeded my expectations. The photos from our special day are beautiful. We felt like a rock stars with all the attention to details we received.

    Absolute perfection

    I cannot say enough good things about memories are forever. Kathie, Taylor, and Heather were so helpful. They went above and beyond for our wedding and engagement photos. I would recommend them to anyone and everyone!

    Seamless Experience!

    Kathie and Taylor were an absolute delight to work with for L+A's wedding. I loved having our pre-wedding calls to make sure all details were covered and that we were well prepared. Come the day of, she and Taylor were an excellent team. I appreciated their communication, high spirits, and loving on the couple so well. Thanks so much, Kathie! :)

    Memories Are Forever's reply:

    Thank you Sydney, You and your team are awesome! Very easy to work with and VERY organized! It was our pleasure to work with you and your team!

    Excellent photographer and team

    Kathie was our photographer during our actual wedding last year in a park with our immediate family. We changed the reception date to a year later since COVID happened. Kathie and her team are very professional and excellent photographers. During both of our “weddings”, Kathie kept us on task with the itinerary, made sure we had pictures with our family, and kept well out of sight during the reception. We didn’t even notice them. We picked her because her pictures aren’t washed out like many others we saw. I couldn’t speak highly enough of her ability and service!

    Such an amazing team of photographers!

    I can’t say enough wonderful things about Memories are Forever! They were an absolute delight to work with from start to finish! Kathie and the entire staff are incredibly accommodating and kind, and I never felt like I was lost or confused in the planning process. They make it incredibly easy to plan out your day and keep track of what photos will be taken at what time, and guide you through the steps so you don’t feel like it’s all on you. They also have a variety of packages made to fit a variety of budgets and needs, and are more than willing to work with you to help you decide on what the best fit is. Kathie, her staff, and all of the photographers are also extremely responsive to all forms of communication, so you never feel as though you’ve been left hanging.

    I also have to highlight how incredibly patient, kind, and compassionate Kathie and her staff were when I had to reschedule my original 2021 wedding date into 2022 due to COVID. I’m sure COVID wasn’t easy on their team either, and yet they didn’t bat an eye when I needed to push my date out further, and I can’t thank them enough for that. My wedding package included a free engagement photo session, and our photographer Tom was absolutely outstanding! We had Tom again on the day of our wedding, along with a second photographer Gordon, and both of them were an absolute pleasure to work with. The day moves so quickly, and both of them were outstanding professionals, able to keep up with the fast pace and get a wide variety of stunning shots, while still making sure it felt like our wedding day and not just one big photoshoot. My husband and I, as well as our entire wedding party, truly felt cared for by our photographers and had a blast taking photos at multiple locations!

    I can’t recommend this company enough! Just go with them!

    Amazing engagement and wedding photos, highly recommend!

    Kathie sent us the best team for our wedding. They fit us perfectly and captured everything we wanted and more. Tom and Gordon were creative and professional and we are ecstatic about not only our wedding photos but the engagement photos we had done previously as well. I don't have enough positive words to give, we are so happy with this experience!

    Knowledgeable Professional!

    Kathie was amazing to work with. We got married yesterday and during our reception she ran photos from the day on the screen by the bar at our venue! Such an awesome surprise. It was so nice to relax and just have her guidance throughout the day!

    Such a great experience!

    Kathie shot both our engagement and wedding photos, and she was amazing for both! The photographer she had with her on the wedding day was great too. We loved that they weren’t afraid to direct people where they needed to be and they got our photos to us so quickly. Very pleasant people to work with and great value! 10/10 recommend!

    Great price and great photos

    Kathie (owner) was so sweet in getting to know us and the style of photos we wanted from our special day. She did not disappoint! We love the photos we have, and they were given back in 2 weeks, which I was so surprised about! The price for the quality of work they do is fantastic. If you have your reception at Tapawingo Golf Course you'll receive special pricing, and we had a fantastic experience working with both vendors.

    "We look like movie stars!"

    My wife and I were thrilled with Memories Are Forever wedding photography. We were referred by one of my wife's coworker friends. We met with the owner for an hour or so to learn about their practices and see some example photos (phenomenal). The package included a couple hour engagement photo shoot at a location we chose (Forest Park near the Muny - where we met). We got an email that very night with the best one. My wife said "We look like movie stars.", and we did! At the wedding, I really appreciated Memories Are Forever taking family pictures of our guests for their benefit. My wife made a gorgeous hardcopy wedding album book we display on our coffee table. So many great images from which to choose.
    You wedding day will come and go. Believe it or not, someday it will be far in the past. The question then is, what will you recall of it? What will that past event mean to you? With Memories Are Forever, you will always have a vivid reminder of how special that day was and what a great couple you were and are together.

    Incredible Day

    Kathie & Taylor worked their tales off shooting my wedding. They were always on the go and kept things moving. They worked with my tight schedule and took a ton of gorgeous photos! The day was a complete whirlwind and it went by in a blink of an eye. I am so thankful we will have wonderful photos to remember our day. She captured things I didn’t even see happening at my own wedding. HIGHLY RECOMMEND ❤️

    Perfection!!

    Kathie went above and beyond! The images are stunning and they captured every moment beautifully. We always received a quick response when we had questions and felt completely at ease on our big day. We can't thank Kathie enough for capturing each and every moment so elegantly!!

    Cannot say enough good things about Memories Are Forever and Kathie! From the early communication to the pre-wedding communication to the day of professionalism and dedication to the quick turn delivery, the team was amazing and so easy to work with. They were thorough, patient, generous with their time, humble, adaptive, accommodating, pleasant, brilliant, etc, etc. They requested so little of us and were so unobtrusive, yet were always where they needed to be promptly. They brought pleasant, competent assistants, thought of pictures we didn't even think of, were so polite to our family and guests. Memories Are Forever is a calming and pleasant, 'breath of fresh air' in the wedding industry and I highly recommend them for your event or wedding!

    Working with Memories are forever and Kathie was one of the best experiences of my entire wedding process.
    I was already blown away at my first meeting and reviewing this companies work but to top it off, the group (owner and photographers) are so personable and it’s so important to be around people that you trust will make the best decision and help guide you on the most important day of your life.
    They went above and beyond what I feel other professional photography companies offer.. and I would HIGHLY recommend anyone looking for the perfect wedding photographer to simply meet with Kathie and review her work. It was such a pleasure working with Memories are forever and even though I received a sneak peek (as a favor , again.. above and beyond) I am so excited to see the complete package as I know it’s going to be gorgeous and my husband and I will cherish the photos of our day forever! Thank you Kathie/Tom and everyone else who helped make my wedding perfect!

    Highly recommend!

    Memories Are Forever exceeded our expectations and gave me a variety of amazing images that will help us remember the day forever. I had a few picture ideas and the photographers helped incorporate them into the schedule seamlessly. Having two photographers helped the day go smoothly and I loved how they both captured different angles at the ceremony. I highly recommend!

    Great Experience and Great Results

    We have hired photographers on a couple of occasions but Memories are Forever produced the best pictures by far. It was our wedding so we really wanted the best and after several recommendations we went them. Kathy and her team made taking pictures fun and were even able to get the kids to join in too! We found out later that our venue was new for Kathy so she drove to it the weekend before to scout the lighting. Pics turned out fantastic and we would definitely recommend!

    Kathie was amazing to work with and we have received so many compliments on our wedding photos! She gets super excited about taking pictures and actually drove more than an hour away to go to our venue the week before to see where the lighting was best and what places to take pictures at. You can tell she really enjoys what she does and the pictures show it! I would recommend Kathie to all my friends and family! Thanks so much Kathie!

    Kathie and her team did an amazing job the day of our wedding, and we could not be more grateful. It was expected to rain shortly after our ceremony (right when we were supposed to be taking pictures in the park), but Kathie quickly made it work, instructing the members of our bridal party where/how to stand for some of the specific shots I wanted. She is extremely efficient at taking a lot of photos in a short amount of time, and thankfully we were able to get most of our “outside” pictures completed before the rain hit. She and her team definitely have an eye for gorgeous wedding photography, and many of my shots looked like they could be right out of a magazine. So happy I chose Memories Are Forever to photograph our wedding!

    The style of pictures that Kathie and the Memories are Forever team take matched our vision and personality perfectly. We knew from looking at her portfolio and Kathie would be the perfect person to capture all of the special moments of our day. She certainly exceeded our expectations. We were able to meet with her multiple times before our event and having Kathie take our engagement pictures allowed her to get to know us as a couple, setting the stage for a fun and relaxed day. She arrived early to capture all of our details and the girls and guys getting ready. Thanks to Kathie and her associate, Tom, every part of the day was covered. Kathie and team stayed with both my husband I all day, even capturing many family and group candid photos as the reception partied on. From the intimate moments of the first look to out on the dance floor, Memories Are Forever really documented the greatest day of our lives in a creative and expressive way.

    World Class photography and effort by Kathie. Beautiful pictures of every part of our wedding and reception, including family/group pictures and dinner/reception action. Kathie worked tirelessly for hours to arrange and control the families and kids, and to make sure she captured everyone at their best. Great formal family portraits were an unexpected product of her work. We highly recommend her for any occasion, but her creative work with weddings and families seem to be her expertise.
