    Sam is seriously amazing!

    Samantha at Mirage Photo is amazing to work with. She made our day feel so special and was great on keeping me on track. She made sure that we got everything we wanted. I can't wait to see our photos and remember all those special moments over and over again.

    My fiancé and I have Mirage booked for our wedding in October, but I am confident that everything will go well. They did our engagement pictures and we could not have been happier with the results! Samantha and Sean made us feel comfortable during the shoot and, most importantly, they made us laugh. They really made sure we were both happy with the pictures and gave us great direction! Not only did they make my fiancé and I feel comfortable, they worked really well with our dogs! I cannot say enormous changes good things about Mirage and whenever someone asks me for a photographer recommendation, we always suggest them! If I could give them over 5 stars, I would.

    We used Mirage for our engagement and wedding photos! They were awesome. They are so friendly to work with and totally make you feel at ease. We loved our engagement photos and can't wait to see our wedding photos from our September wedding. They do amazing work and Sam really helped ease my stress and keep everyone calm & having fun. Her and Justin did wonderful to include my dog in some wedding pictures, which was something we really wanted to do. I would definitely recommend them to everyone I know. Keep up the great work!!

    When I began planning for my wedding I was overwhelmed with all of the decisions I had to make. Once decision I was most concerned about was the photography aspect. I had a list of photographers to meet with and at the time Mirage was not even on my list! While meeting with other vendors (non-photo) one specific person recommended I contact Samantha from Mirage Photo. I immediately put that on my list and contacted her to schedule an appointment (after reading reviews online). Within a day I had a response and we scheduled a meeting. Wow! Even on our phone call she was friendly and seemed personable! When I met with her a few days later I felt like we clicked immediately and she really listed to what I wanted on my wedding day. Our time together was busy planning for photo locations and talking about the timeline for my wedding day. I could tell she had done this a few times because she had a nice list of things to do, when and where to do them. Overall, I knew that using Mirage Photo was the right choice for me! We talked specifics for the package I needed and came up with a good price that I could actually afford! Score! Samantha was already booked for my wedding day, but she provided me information about their other lead photographer (Justin) and told me that I would like him too. I trusted her and knew it would work for me. She showed me some photos that Justin had taken himself and I agreed that his work was great. A few days later I made the decision to book Mirage Photo and dropped off the payment. My wedding is a year away, but I am already excited for what my photos will look like!

    Mirage Photo is AMAZING! All of the photographers are wonderful, listen to every request you have, not to mention will suggest things to those that don't have a clue what to do! Mirage Photo's ability to capture the moment is absolutely incredible. I couldn't be more impressed with the staff's knowledge and kindness, not to mention the quality of photos! You will not be disappointed if you use Mirage Photo. I am usually very shy when it comes to my photo being taken, they couldn't have done a better job making me feel relaxed and comfortable. Thank you to Shawn, Samantha and the whole team! I cant wait to use Mirage Photo again for any other photography needs I have!

    O.M.G. Samantha and Shawn are two of the funniest amazing photographers we have met! We had so much fun with them at both our engagement session and wedding! Our wedding party raved about them also because they were so awesome! When we first met these two at a bridal show I was instantly sold. They are always up to have fun and try new stuff during shoots. During our engagement session we had so much fun when they let us pop and spray champagne everywhere and they got the PERFECT shot for our save the date!! They make taking pictures so easy and fun! Go meet them – you will say O.M.G. too!!

    OK Sam and Shawn, you get 5 stars only because that is as high as it goes, otherwise I'd give you a 10. Let me start out by saying...Samantha and Shawn made me feel SO comfortable while taking engagement photos, they laughed with us and are fun to be around. They make you actually really smike instead of posing with the fake smile. Our engagement photos were so awesome and of such high quality that I cannot wait to see my wedding day photos. I have already decided that my pregnancy photos and newborn photos will be by Mirage. They have very good ideas for photo shoots. Thank you so much again. Go Cardinals.

    I could not have asked for a better photographer than Sam Iverson. SHE ROCKS!! Not only is she extremely talented, but she is the best to work with because of her great sense of humor and personality. She did our engagement pictures and wedding day pictures and makes you feel completely comfortable and natural. If I ever need a professional photographer again, it will definitely be Sam--she is just simply, the best!

    WE LOVE SHAWN & SAMANTHA!!! Two of the coolest, nicest people you will ever meet! And our wedding photos were AMAZING! We had multiple people tell us that they are the best wedding photos they have ever seen. They knew all of the perfect spots around St. Louis for great shots, and they kept us on time all day. We have remained in contact with Mirage and plan on using them for any photography we may need in the future. We recommend them to everyone!

    Samantha and Shawn were absolutely amazing! We decided to do a last minute engagement session 2 days before the wedding. We knew we had chosen the right people after that day. They are hilarious for one and they always made us feel at ease while shooting our pictures. On our wedding day, they did more than just shoot pictures. Samantha helped me with grabbing my bouquet for the bouquet toss, she helped me with me garter, plus she helped organize some of our very eager guests who were wanting pictures. I could not have asked for a better pair of photographers than Samantha and Shawn. The best part was on our wedding day and they surprised is with a few of our photos from our engagement session (Framed as well). Our mouths were on the floor!!! Made our day so much more special. We live in Kansas city, but when we need pictures in the future, we will definitely be calling Mirage photo. Thank you for making our day picture perfect!!

    OMGGGGG!!! Sam & Shawn were AMAZING! I had the hardest time picking a photographer because of all of the available options, but immediately made up my mind once I met with Sam. She was so down to earth, sweet and fun that I was instantly sold. She genuinely cares about giving you great pictures and was very reasonably priced compared to a lot of the other options I looked at. You spend ALL day with your photographers, so I was so happy and luck to have spent the day with Sam and Shawn. They are wonderful people and I'm so excited to see all the pictures they took on our wedding day. Their website does NOT do them justice, go meet with them and see all of their incredible work in their studio!!!

    Shawn and Samantha were absolutely amazing to work with. Shawn is very laid back and Samantha is definitely the go getter. This team of photographers are amazing. They have great ideas and definitely think outside the box. Their creativity is stunning. I have never seen a photo album like the ones they offer. Our wedding album is still the talk of our friends to this day. They have also done family photos for us as well. With a family of 8 that's pretty challenging but let me tell you they nailed it. We did not just end up with "one good picture" we had a whole album full of fantastic family shots. They are also amazing with the little ones. Very patient and quick to get that one second sit still shot that every one year old has. Highly recommend this duo to everyone!!

    Samantha and Shaun were absolutely wonderful to work with. I looked forward to meetings with Samantha and the day of Wedding...it was her and Shaun that actually kept me calm, laughing, and happy. Both are professional and yet---an absolute blast to be around. Their studio of work reflects the amazing pictures they're able to take but they do it with a realism that you can't appreciate until the day of the wedding. You realize then how awesome it is to have them with you and at your side, making sure they get all the special moments. I cannot express in words how amazing they are to work with!

    Mirage was the perfect photographer to work with for our wedding! My fiancé and I were planning an out of town wedding in St. Louis and Sam was so helpful during the entire process. When we first met Sam and Matt, it was love at first sight. Their enthusiasm and personalities meshed perfectly with our goofy care free style. Their art work from past weddings were brilliant and we knew that they would carry over the same creative spirit for our wedding as well. And boy were we right!!! Two weeks before the wedding, my husband and I decided to plan a last minute engagement photo session at Busch Stadium. Even though it started raining halfway through the session, we had the time of our lives. Sam came with so many ideas and the ending results were a munch of masterpieces. Our wedding day was the same way with Matt and Amy. Our energy just kept feeding off of each other the entire day and they brought incredible ideas to the table. Our favorite photo of the entire day was an impromptu shot in front of a random barn at a park. We can not thank you all enough for the beautiful/elegant/spontaneous/goofy pictures that you took. We will cherish these memories forever!

    My husband and I are extremely glad we chose Mirage as our photographer. Choosing a good photographer is more than just picking someone who can create great images and capture important memories. Not only did they deliver that, but they also made sure the bridal party was having fun, carried my lipstick for me all day to make sure it was touched up appropriately, and helped me relax when I got nervous while getting ready. These photographers are truly A-List material! Thank you, Shawn and Samantha, for helping make our day everything we ever dreamed of!

    Vendor to Die for!!...that is the title of the email I sent to everyone I could think of after our wedding. Pictures are my obsession and I knew that this was going to be the most important part of my big day (besides marrying my best friend). From the moment we met them at the bridal show we knew there was no one else we wanted to use for our wedding. They are simply amazing! My husband doesn't love having his photo taken but they are so much fun that he was smiling and posing in any crazy way they asked! Our engagement photos were beautiful and all of our meetings were so much fun! I can't wait to see our wedding photos because I know they will be everything I ever dreamed of!

    On the day of our wedding I started getting really nervous and stressed but then Sean and Sam walked in the door and I can't even explain how it just made my mood go to this fun happy place rather than stresssing out. To the extent that even during my service when i started to cry I looked up to see Sean on the balcony taking photos and it immediately brough me back and put a smile on my face. They are the most amazing people you could have by your side on your wedding day. Sam even carried my lip gloss around all day and told me when I needed more! The little things on this big day really meant the world to us!

    I will continue to recommend them to everyone I know and can't wait for future family photo shoots and any other reason I can think of to hire them again! They are affordable, flexible and the most amazing people we have ever met! For your big day, I promise you there is no one better.

    My husband and I loved working with Shawn & Samantha. These have to be the two easiest going individuals on planet earth. We loved our engagement photos, and we absolutely were obsessed with our wedding photos (not to mention the album we got at the end was perfect). Additionally, all of our wedding guests were complimenting us all night on how much fun our photographer was and what amazing photos she had captured. We love Mirage!

    My wedding took place in St. Charles, MO back in April 2014. Shawn and Samantha shot our wedding and reception, as well as our engagement photos. The quality of their work cannot simply be described in a sentence or two. These two have a unique way of capturing every moment, in photo's that come to life with the candid shots, as well as the classic group photos. The day of the wedding I was able to remain comfortable and relaxed as Samantha quickly adjusted my dress, fluffed each bridesmaid, and double checked the groomsman to make sure they each looked their best for every picture, and it made a huge effect on the photos. Everyone in my bridal party commented on how great our photographers were, how professional they were, and how awesome it was to get back pictures of the event that we didn't even know they shot!

    I would highly recommend them for wedding photography, and cannot begin to thank them enough for the pictures we will have for our future family in years to come.

    Mirage Photo's reply:

    all of this is true and very accurate, even though there was no mention of just how handsome I was this day.
