    Incredible Photographer!

    Could not have asked for a better photographer to capture our wedding day! Louis was incredible to work with and listened to all of our wants and needs throughout the planning process. He ensured we got all of the photos we wanted and more! Louis is a true professional. He is a great communicator and amazing to work with!

    Affordable and awesome!

    Louis was amazing!!!
    His prices were fair and he was good at communicating with us. We got a sneak peek the morning after the wedding which was awesome to wake up to. Then we got all 1,800 of our photos back in 1 month. It was faster than I was expecting. He was great the day of the wedding… around enough, but not in the way. He made sure we got the shots we wanted and had good time management the day of. Would definitely recommend!!

    You have to book this photographer

    We knew as soon as we saw his portfolio we were going to book Louis. He has that winning combination of technical skill and a creative eye. He is very easy to work with as well, especially if you have limited experience in front of a camera (my husband). If you are looking for a wedding photographer we could not recommend Louis enough, he also worked well with our videographers for a seamless wedding experience.

    Amazing Photographer

    Louis is an amazing photographer who captured our wedding day in such an imaginative and creative way! Never mind how amazing he is as a photographer, but he was also very accommodating and understanding throughout all the shifts and changes that had occurred over the past year and a half due to Covid. Our plans changed several times and with every change he was responsive and always on board. What an amazing person to work with and we were honored to have him as our photographer!

    Amazing photographer!

    We booked Louis and Alex for our Jan 19th wedding and they were great from the start! Louis is friendly and takes his time with you, listening to your preferences and taking the time to understand you and your style! He met with us in person to make sure we all felt comfortable together and listened to all of our ideas! Our wedding day turned out to be pretty cold with some recent heavy snow but we wanted some outdoor pictures and they pulled it off like pros! Their prices are very reasonable and I as soon as I saw his portfolio I knew I wanted him for our wedding. Can't say enough good things! THANKS LOUIS!!

    We Highly Recommend Louis!

    Having Louis as our wedding photographer was hands down one of the best decisions we made. We got married at the Madison Hotel in Morristown, NJ this past March. Louis was so easy to work with - even during our first phone call he immediately made us feel like we've known him forever. It was such a relief to have a professional wedding photographer who had experience shooting at our venue.

    He was very reasonably priced, has a ton of experience which shows in every single photograph he took, and was very responsive.

    We didn't do an engagement shoot as we opted for a second photographer instead, and we didn't regret the decision.

    The day of our wedding, Louis and his assistant took many photos from different aspects and from both sides of the family. Honestly, we didn't even realize Louis and his assistant were taking photographs for the majority of the day. They got some great action shots that my partner and I didn't personally witness - it was great having these photographs to see how much our family and friends enjoyed our wedding!

    Our sneak peak was given to us approximately a week after our wedding, and all of our photographs (definitely well over 1,000 photos) were given to us within a month and a half.

    If you're looking for a photographer who is professional, reliable and overall a genuinely great person with a clear passion for what he does, Louis is your guy!

    P.S. - Louis is the only photographer I have seen that offers 3D photographs. Trust me when I say this is definitely something you should consider adding onto your package! My partner and I were hesitant at first since we didn't know how a 3D photograph would come out, but once Louis explained to us the process, we were hooked. Our 3D photographs came in a beautiful wooden box carved with our names and wedding date. It is the perfect thing to have on our coffee table and is a great conversation starter. The 3D photographs made me feel like I was reliving our wedding day all over again.

    We would 100% recommend Louis to our friends and family and will definitely use him again for future photo shoots!

    Awesome Photos and Photographer

    First time we met him, he gave us a perfect example of his method for taking photos.
    Responds to email as soon as possible.
    He is warm and welcoming.
    He fixed a closed eye photo for us right away when we reached out to him.
    Photos look amazing. He does a great job capturing the right background and using the right lighting.
    Photos are completed within three weeks of the wedding.
    He offers great packages.

    Beautiful wedding photographs

    Louis and his assistant Alex, photographed our wedding in September 2018. It rained on our special day and deep down I was upset about the rain and concerned about how the photographs would turn out. Both Louis and Alex were so reassuring and they definitely did not disappoint! Louis and Alex delivered such beautiful and romantic photos. I am so glad that we picked Schroder Photography to photograph our wedding day. I highly recommend!

    Louis & Alex were the absolute best for my wedding this past weekend in Asbury Park at Tim McLoone's Supper Club. They were so friendly, professional and eager to ensure we got all of the pictures we wanted & more. My wedding party & family loved them both and truly enjoyed working with them. We could truly see how much they love what they do and how much they wanted to capture all of the love throughout my day. You will not be disappointed!

    Louis was absolutely amazing and a pleasure to work with. A great professional, he knew what pictures would look the best and made sure to capture of all the important moments. Any pictures that we requested to be taken were taken. We have seen some of our pictures as posted on Facebook, as they were put up the same day, and they were amazing and breathtaking. I can’t wait to see the rest of the pictures! I highly recommend Louis to photograph any event as he was amazing. Should I ever need to hire a photographer for any event, I will be calling Louis. Thanks for everything Louis!!

    We are so happy we picked Louis to be the photographer at our wedding! He was pleasant from the very beginning and forthcoming about the entire process. I definitely wanted the wedding to be as laid back as possible, which we talked about beforehand so that everyone would be on board. Louis and his assistant were super friendly and were able to take tons of candid shots. We got lots of positive feedback from guests about how "the photographers stayed out of the way", which isn't always the case. The pictures came out wonderful and captured even the smallest details. We got the photos back within a month of the wedding. We truly appreciated everything and would highly recommend Louis to anyone in need of an event photographer! :)

    Best decision ever made. Of all our vendors, Louis was the easiest and best to work with. From the first phone call I got the sense that Louis would match our personalities perfectly, laid back and fun (with the exception of my bridezilla moment 15 minutes before the ceremony, which was captured hillariously). I don't know how he physically did it, but he caught every moment. Some of my favorite shots are of the kids being 4 year old kids. Crying, wandering off, in time out... Louis got them. My husband and I are known for NEVER looking good in the same photo at the same time, but he got those too. I can't say enough about his professionalism. The week before the wedding we had a phone call in which he assured me the forecast would be wrong and it wouldn't snow 4-6 inches on my wedding day, while everyone else was reminding me of their weather policies. The day rolls around and it starts to flurry, but it stopped just about the second Louis walked into the room (early). An hour later we got 60 and sunny. That's the kind of positivity I appreciate in a person, let alone a vendor. There was never any pressure to do anything we didn't want to do, and I am so grateful for that. It was truly the best day ever and I am so glad we got our top choice photographer to make sure we remember it for a lifetime. Thank you Louis!

    Shame on us that it’s been almost 1 year since our wedding & we’re just now writing a review for our AMAZING photographer! Louis & his assistant, Alex, were so much fun yet professional to work with. I seriously couldn’t have asked for a better photographer. He worked within our timeline & our itinerary and made suggestions accordingly to ease my crazy bride-stressed mind. Louis captured our day perfectly from my ridiculous gestures to each precious & candid moment including our officiant running late to the ceremony! He came with a variety of cameras, including “old-fashioned” film (LOL!) ones to create unique feelings for each image. In addition to a wonderful photographer, he’s the best secret keeper! I called him to inform him of a surprise for my husband-to-be & told him I needed him to get that moment because I knew I wouldn’t remember & he delivered perfectly. He also delivered our full set of pictures within a month from our wedding & emailed us one of the film pictures just days after while we were on our honeymoon. I 100% recommend Louis & if I had to do it all again, would pick him in a heartbeat!

    I totally recommend the Engagement/Ice-Breaker session. It gave Mike & I the opportunity to get to know Louis & his style & gave him the opportunity to get to know us & our personalities. It took away the awkwardness of having someone following you & capturing the intimate moments that you want to remember. And, because we had this time, before our wedding, Louis felt like a friend rather than just one of our vendors.

    Louis was the first vendor we booked for our wedding because well.. photography is the way you're going to look back on your beautiful day! It was SO important to my husband and I to have an amazing photographer for our special day, and we were never worried once we booked, met, and worked with Louis. Louis was referred to me by a friend down in Maryland, and we did an engagement session with him about a year before our wedding (with our two dogs too). He made us feel so comfortable, understood our style, and captured amazing, natural, and artistic shots. Once we saw the engagement photos, we knew we had booked a winner for our wedding. Louis is always easy to communicate with, accessible, professional, on time, and reliable. He captured beautiful shots on our wedding day, we were just thrilled getting all of the amazing photos back. Louis was even able to capture some amazing, once in a lifetime shots with our two dogs at the wedding with us, family, friends, etc. We also had a very large bridal party 20 total, and Louis was able to coordinate great group shots and photos effortlessly, as well as amazing candids obviously. If you want a true professional with an amazing eye for capturing your beautiful moments on your special day.. look no further!!!

    OMG!!! AMAZING!!! Louis was fantastic!!! He was great to work with!! Whenever I would email him before the big day, he would respond, and we had a phone conference the week of the wedding to finalize all plans. Louis and his assistant, Alex, were not only on time, but they were early to arrive!!! Louis was so easy going, and his assistant Alex was fantastic too!! Louis and Alex took such great photos, ones we didn't even know they took!! I have been part of wedding where the photographer tried to steal the show, but Louis was the complete opposite!! I didn't even know he was there sometimes taking photos! They were so approachable and any photo you wanted, they took!! My mom has a big family so she wanted a photo of her and all of her cousins. Louis staged them all during the reception with chairs and height order!!! Truly amazing and great!!! Louis also had such a quick turn around, we got our photo LESS THAN A MONTH after our wedding!!! Truly amazing!! I plan on calling Louis when we have children to do our kid portraits, and any other family event or anything that needs a photographer in the future!! Louis was also very affordable, and allowed us to build our own package!! I can't say enough nice things about Schroder Photography!!! Thank you Louis and Alex!!! We truly love everything you did, and every photo!! We love you both!!!

    Louis was the BEST decision we could have made in terms of hiring a photographer for our wedding! Our wedding took place in Asbury Park, NJ, at the end of September, but we live in the Washington, DC area. He made the long-distance planning process very easy and stress-free. From the beginning phone call with Louis, we knew we would love his work and his ability to not only do the planned pictures that are associated with weddings, but also capture the candid moments creatively -- and that is exactly what he did! We also did an engagement session with him, in which he did a great job incorporating our dog (who was also in the wedding ceremony) -- and it is evident he loves working with both people and animals. We also received comments from guests (and we agree!) that he somehow managed to stay so low profile that it was like we didn't even have a photographer there ((but he captured ALL of the most perfect pictures of the wedding and even photos of our guests)). We left for our honeymoon the day after our wedding and he sent us the picture preview link that day so that we could see some pictures before we left! Then, we received the full set of photos less than a month after our wedding -- his timeliness and professionalism was so very much appreciated. The pictures turned out so amazing that we are going to have a hard time of which ones to print and hang up in our house. We highly recommended Louis and we'll definitely recommend him to family/friends and use him again in the future for anytime we need professional pictures.

    Highly highly recommend Schroder Photography! Louis was so professional and fun to work with. He called me about a week before the wedding and came up with all of the timing (first look, family pictures, etc.) so that we could get all of the shots we wanted while barely missing any of the cocktail hour/reception. He was very organized and really moved our large wedding party along during pictures so that we were all in the right place at the right time. The photos are extremely high quality and you can see how much effort he put into them. I was thrilled to see pictures of all of the guests and even of fun moments that I didn't know happened! I sincerely recommend him- you can put your total faith in him to photograph the day in a way that captures all of the big moments as well as the little details beautifully. I decided on the package with two photographers (the second photographer was Alex and he was excellent as well) because this allowed them to get several angles of key moments.

    I could not of been happier with the whole process of booking and using Louis as a photographer. He was able to capture the moments that we will forever remember and the ones that we did not get to see. I love action shots and nothing too posed and Louis did just that. He gave me a wedding album that my friends and family cannot stop talking about. He was fun and communicated with us and it was great to have him as a guest and professional at our wedding. We had a photo-booth and he took pictures in there and I thought that that was hysterical. My husband and I are so thrilled with the turnout of our photos. His style is very fresh and bright and that is what I love. I love that he has the photos on film as well and I cannot wait to see the final product. Thank you Louis for capturing our wedding and giving us a forever beautiful and fun memory.

    My (now) husband and I had no idea what kind of photos we wanted or even what to expect. So when we told Luis to take the reigns on this we were stunned at not only on his level of professionalism but how artistic he was with photos. He truly but our minds at ease knowing we had a true artistic professional behind the camera. 100% reccomend him!

    We really enjoyed working with Louis. He was extremely professional and patient with our bridal party and knew how to work a tough group of people with a short attention span! Our guests also raved about our photos. We cannot recommend his services enough! You will not be disappointed if you decide to use Schroder Photography!

    Louis was great! We were planning our wedding from out of town and he was very accommodating with Skype meetings and working around our travel schedule for our engagement shoot. He recommended that we do engagement photos and I'm really glad we did, we were able to meet him in person and get a little more comfortable being photographed. it made that portion of the wedding day much less stressful. We had two shooters for the wedding which worked out really well; my mom was worried about how many pictures we'd have because she said she never noticed the photographers but we have tons of amazing photos! Louis and Alex were unobtrusive while still catching all the important moments and tons of awesome candids! We're very happy with the quality and selection of the photos we received and can't wait to see our album. thanks louis!

    Louis was so great to work with for our wedding! I was very nervous because it was supposed to rain during our first look photos and Louis put me at ease and everything turned out perfectly. I was looking to capture the more candid details of the day and the photos are just what I wanted. Would absolutely recommend Schroder Photography!

    Louis Schroder captured my April 2017 wedding in a beautiful way. I explained to Louis what I wanted and he gave me exactly that. As the bride, I learned it is difficult to take in all parts of the wedding day because you can't be everywhere at once. Thanks to Louis and the gorgeous photos he took, we are able to really look back on what a amazing night it was. He captured every detail that my husband and I worked so hard to achieve and all the emotion that was present on that day. We will cherish these photos forever and we highly recommend using Schroder Photography for your upcoming wedding or event.

    Schroder Photography is fantastic! I would recommend him to anyone if they want the best pictures. He's not only super friendly, but he takes the most artistic and intimate photos, without getting in the way. He's so great at capturing the moment and giving great ideas for posed pictures. Hands down the best photographer out there!

    Louis Schroder and his assistant Alex captured every single moment beautifully. They were so professional and subtle that my husband and I almost didn't even realize they were at work throughout the entire night. We had a very active dance floor, and all the action shots were amazing. Once the sun went down, the lighting in our venue turned rather dim, yet all of the late night shots came out beautifully. Louis was great at getting genuine smiles during the staged group photos, and he was on point with capturing candid moments as well. I highly recommend!

    We are so happy we went with Louis Schroder as our photographer for our wedding. His photos of our day are, in a word, incredible. He had such a beautiful variety of artistic and photo-journalistic shots that captured the gorgeous garden setting and the emotion and joy of the day.

    The bridal salon where I got ready wasn't very well lit, yet Louis's shots ALL came out superbly; I know that's not easy to do and he did it so well. While sometimes I find photos of people dancing corny, I was SO impressed with the action shots Louis took--I could seriously make a mini album of just that part of the night! This is a testament to his skill and talent.

    One thing that made me know we were in good hands was our experience with Louis during our engagement shoot. We chose the West Village, Meatpacking district and finally Central Park as our backdrops and every shot is amazing. Louis's use of light captured the mood and character of the city. His friendly demeanor helped us relax and have fun in front of the camera. I'm really glad we had that time with him before the big day. Thank you, Louis!!

    Louis was so amazing to work with. My favorite thing about Schroder Photography (initially) was the fact that the website had a cost calculator to help me figure out what we'd be spending. I didn't see anyone else with this feature. Louis is prompt, has great intuition, and is kind and pleasant. He got our pictures back to us to quickly. Great experience. Thank you!

    When my husband and I were deciding on a photographer for our wedding, it was important that we found someone who could take beautiful pictures, while at the same time allowing us to enjoy every minute of our day. We found that and more with Louis Schroder. Louis and his assistant Alex were so much fun, kind, and incredibly professional. They were always there when we wanted a picture taken and even more amazingly, they were able to capture moments when we didn't even realize it. Louis has a wonderful way of camouflaging himself into his surroundings, a very journalistic approach. This was so wonderful during our wedding because we weren't asked to be taken away from the partying for pictures. We had our formal photos taken before the ceremony, which were beautiful and fun. We also did large extended family photos in the beginning of the reception and Louis and Alex were so patient while placing everyone; it was awesome! The journalistic approach that Louis takes in the moment is then coupled with a truly artistic quality when developing the pictures. The moments he captures and the way the photos are brought to life is simply magic. We felt at ease with every picture taken on that beautiful day! Now we will have artistic, unique and stunning proof that such an amazing day took place thanks to Schroder Photography!

    Picking a photographer for the wedding was probably one of the most important things for me. I wanted someone who would capture the excitement, love, and joy the day would bring and Louis did all that and more! His pictures were gorgeous and he captured everything that I had wanted! From day one, when I submitted my inquiry, Louis made the process so easy - he told me about the special he was having at the time, allowed me to make adjustments to my package, and just kept me informed throughout the process. When it came close to the wedding, we met and discussed the details and again - Louis was professional and so easy to work with. My husband and I had a few ideas for pictures but it was Louis who really helped us fine tune our vision and also helped us realized the timeline of our day and expectations.

    On the day of the wedding, Louis was on time and started working immediately without being intrusive. He was so patient and friendly us and with my family and friend - he really did help continue the fun vibe of the day.

    When it came to seeing the pictures afterwards, Louis had teaser pictures for us the very next day and I couldn't believe how amazing the pictures came out! He continued to keep me posted of when the rest of the pictures would be ready and I really appreciated that.

    If you are looking for a photographer for your wedding in NJ who is professional, easy to work with and reasonably priced then Schroder Photograpghy is a great pick!

    Louis was simply amazing! He did our engagement and wedding photos and both sessions were so unique and creative, my husband and I loved every single picture! Louis is amazing to work with, and the final product of his photos are beautiful; each shot was so perfectly finished. If you are looking for a photographer to capture the special little moments of your wedding, with candid shots that show the true emotion of the day, then Louis is the photographer for you! I cannot thank him enough for all of the amazing photos and memories of our special day!

    I wish I could give Louis more than 5 stars! We were impressed every step of the way working with Louis. He was flexible and accommodating, really heard us when we said what we wanted and made everyone feel at ease on our wedding day. Louis never made us feel on the spot or super posed, everything was really natural and he captured all of our favorite moments- and what was really amazing is he caught them all without us realizing! And most importantly- the photos were even better than we had hoped!! We could not have asked for more. Truly I could not recommend him any more highly!!!

    I don't even know where to start when it comes to reviewing Louis Schroder and Schroder Photography because there truly aren't enough good things to say about him-We were more then impressed!!! From the minute he walked into our venue to the minute it was over, he had us all at ease and i as the bride was comforted knowing that i was going to have the photo's every girl dreams of! The photo's he suggested we take and the candid's he captured had all of us talking from start to finish. Even my husband who HATES getting his pictures taken said that Louis made it feel like a walk in the park. My one bridesmaid could be heard screaming up and down the hallways "LOOK AT THIS SHOT HE'S TAKING!!! THIS GUY IS AMAZING" and all my guests commented on his work. One guest who already had her wedding stated at the end of the night "i wish i could re-do my wedding and have Louis as my photographer"- i think that speaks for itself! He managed to capture all the magical moments and then some and you would not have even known he was even there. We have started to receive our previews and i have had chills looking at them, they are just SO perfect. I would not choose anyone but Schroder Photography!!! thank you SO much Louis!! you truly have an amazing eye and we cannot tell you how much we appreciate your work. ANY event we have you will be first on our contact list!! Stan & Stephanie Frankenfield

    Louis was a true professional - prompt, skilled, courteous and did exactly what we asked for. I have been in a few weddings since our big day and have witnessed some disastrous photographers so I appreciate our choosing Schroder Photography to capture our most special moments even more than I originally had. Love the quality of our photos and would recommend to others.

    We had a great time working with Louis and his team! He was super laid back but managed to direct our family during all the group shots - not the easiest thing when nobody listens and it's 100% humidity...haha. He was great with taking candid shots (what we really wanted) and also for capturing the sunset!

    We found his rates to be very reasonable and we realized it was an even better value since he was so easy to work with.

    Louis was very professional in every way, coordinated with me and other vendors before and during the wedding to make sure everything went smooth, which it did! He fit our budget and I love his work! Couldn't be happier! He was also punctual and even stayed an extra 2 hrs with no extra charge.

    Louis did an amazing job. The wedding party consisted of 18 people. He kept everyone loose and having fun but managed to keep everyone reined in at the same time.
    His MO is that he will be there but you will not see him. That is one of the reasons we hired him. Go figure a photographer friend on the groom's side brought his camera and was snapping away. My husband and I were sitting in our pew at our daughter's Nuptial Mass trying to figure out who the heck the guy was. When we finally had an opportunity to spot Louis at the reception, as he really does an amazing job of being there without being there, we all had to laugh at the fact that none of us knew who he was.
    It has only 3 days since the wedding so we have not seen the pictures yet. I will report back when we do.

    Planning a wedding can be extremely stressful, especially when you live 2,000 miles from your wedding location. For us, choosing our photographer was easy. Louis was recommended to me by a friend, and I was immediately impressed with his talent and skill. He was flexible, friendly, easy to work with, and responisve to all of our photo ideas. I was even more impressed with him on our day of. We worked him, dragging him around in the summer heat to capture the ambiance of my wedding venue, Liberty State Park, and the NYC skyline. He was visable when I wanted to grab him for pictures, but blended in during the ceremony and intimate moments. He made my husband feel comfortable in front of the camera and he made me feel beautiful. We just received our photo previews, and they are absolutely amazing. I have only seen 10 pictures and I could not be more excited to see the rest. The way in which he captures special moments is truly an art. I would highly recommend Louis Schroder for any of your special occassions. Book him NOW so that your memories will last a lifetime, just like mine.

    Louis Schroder was the best choice that we could have made for out Wedding Photographer. My husband and I got married on a sunny Saturday, October 8. Like most guys, He hates taking photos, but Louis made it fun and comfortable. He was professional and responsive to our ideas and suggestions. When he was photographing us, he played a lot on shadows and lighting, making the pictures appear so artistic and beautiful. The preview that he has shared with us are so amazing - we can't wait to see them all! Thanks Schroder Photography for capturing our most important memories! Highly recommend!

    We honestly could not have chosen a better photographer for our wedding. Louis was so kind and professional. We just got our photos and can't stop looking at them because they are absolutely breathtaking. His use of lighting is amazing, and he was truly able to capture the entire day through his photos. We can't recommend him enough! Thank you so much Louis! Heather & Christian

    Not only is Louis a talented photographer, but he is a pleasure to be around. Booking Louis was simple and stress free, even being an out of state couple (2,000 + miles away), he made sure our questions were answered and needs met. On our "day" he was beyond patient, unfailingly polite to all he met, yet invisible most of the time. Leading up to and on our wedding day Louis was open to ideas and very easy to communicate with, whether it be a phone call or an email he was always timely in his response.
    Louis recorded the day as a whole, something we could look back on and remember how every step of the way felt. Louis delivered a beautiful set of images that capture many very happy memories - we will continue to enjoy looking through them for many years to come.

    Simply put...amazing! We can not express enough how much we loved having Louis as our photographer for our wedding this past September. He was extremely professional, unobtrusive and truly captured the essence of our wedding in pictures. We still can't believe how one person was able to capture every important moment like he did and all the while went about it virtually unnoticed. We have had nothing but rave reviews from friends and family about the pictures he took! He was an absolute pleasure to work with and we can not recommend him highly enough! Do yourself a favor and book Louis as soon as possible, you won't regret it!

    Louis is an outstanding photographer and was an absolute pleasure to have around on our wedding day. We just received our proofs back and I am at a loss for words.

    My wedding was this past Sunday and we had Louis Schroder as our photographer. Aside from being an incredibly talented photographer, he was extremely sweet and responsive to mine and my new husband's requests. He was professional and comepletely unobtrusive throughout the entire event. We barely noticed he was there! We've already been sent a preview of our photos and they look like magazine ads! If you live in NJ and have yet to book a photographer, please contact Louis Schroder because you will not be disappointed.

    We cannot stop saying how absolutely wonderful Schroder Photography was for our wedding. From the moment we met Louis, we knew that his positive demeanor, calming words of advice, and sheer talent would make him the perfect photographer for us. Leading up to the wedding, Louis was easy to reach and very open to communication. Although he knew exactly what to do, he listened to our thoughts regarding each and every detail. On the day of our wedding, he greeted us (he was EARLY!) and had a "plan" for the entire day. Throughout our wedding, our family and friends excitedly told us what a pleasure our photographer was and that he was taking all kinds of photos! After the wedding, we did not have to wait long at all for our pictures. Each picture came out more beautiful than the next, and for the quality of his work, his prices were beyond reasonable. Louis's photojournalistic style tuly captured our day, and each photo is an individual piece of art.

    Louis- we thank you for everything. We can't wait to have another event-of-a-lifetime so, again, you can capture it all!

    Fondly,
    Robyn & Adam Rabinowe

    I researched several photographers for our October 31, 2009 wedding before coming across Schroder Photography and was pleased to find a photographer who appreciated quality, candid photography rather than the posed, almost amateurish-looking pictures I had seen from other photographers. I was shocked at the price, too - almost half the price of most other photographers I had looked at and so much more for the value. When we met with Louis the first time, he was so friendly, pleasant, professional, organized, and not pushy at all (even my parents were impressed!). Right away we decided that we needed to book him. Sometimes it took a little long to hear back from him, but I attribute that to the fact that most of our communication was via E-mail, and I'm rather impatient :). The day of the wedding Louis was a pleasure to work with and I can't believe that he'd taken over 650 pictures because we never knew he was there, he stayed well out of the way but caught all of the best moments and produced incredible pictures. My mother is a teacher and works with many young women who are planning their own weddings. She showed my wedding pictures to her co-workers and a handful of them have asked for Louis' information.

    We are so pleased with everything that has come out of hiring Louis Schroder as our wedding photographer. The experience was extremely pleasant, the pictures came out wonderfully, even better than I'd ever expected, the finished album is beautiful, and it was such a pleasure to have him capture all of the moments of that day. I have nothing but absolutely fantastic things to say about Schroder Photography...He is truly talented and a professional.

    I second guessed almost all of my vendors before booking them and have thought about how I would do it differently now that the wedding is over, but I never had any doubts about Schroder Photography and would absolutely not chose anyone else to photograph such an important event if I could do it all over again.

    We are so glad we chose Louis as our photographer. He was so friendly and professional. We were concerned about a photographer being a bit intrusive, but after the first few shots, we didn't even know he was there (and he managed to get everything!) I love the journalistic approach Louis takes with his photos. We really can't say enough good things about Louis and his work! We'll gladly recommend Louis to anyone who is looking for the perfect photographer! Simply wonderful!

    We met with quite a few photographers, and he offered a lot more for our money than the others, and we liked his pictures a lot. He's got great photojournalistic style, and he got some great moments throughout the day. He showed up on time, and got a lot of pictures of me getting ready. He got all us girls at the house and then went to the church and got some of the guys. We had our pictures taken at the Williams Center for the Arts in Rutherford. Its a little theater, and they let us use one of their rooms for photos. There was noone there, so we took a bunch of pictures at the concession stand, and then went into the theater room for more pictures. I got some 3d glasses and we took some with them. The manager ran a film too. These pictures came out fantastic! He got some great shots at some neat angles. We got to the Landmark and he took our family shots outside at the gazebo, and our champagne toast. I didn't see him at all the rest of the night, so he is definately unobtrusive. Our proofs were ready online just about a month after the wedding and then a couple of weeks after that we got our 4x6 proofs. The pictures came out so fantastic! We couldn't be more pleased with them. Louis got some great shots, and captured a lot of great moments throughout the night. I can't wait to get my album!

    We got married on 4-16-2011 and we used louis as our photographer and he was great!!! There was a mini hurricane outside on that day and as devestated as I was about Loius worked around that with extreme ease. We were unable to go outside at all and all the pictures that had to be taken inside came out amazing. All of the picture's were done in a timely manner and for the rest of the night you wouldn't have even known he was there. He was never in the way, but yet every picture he took told a story of the events throughout the night. Thank you so much Louis for everything

    We just love his style of photography. He captures emotions when you least expect it and it makes the memories that much more special. Highly recommended.

    My husband and I wanted a photographer who did not stand out and get in the way on the day of the wedding. We also wanted a photographer who took the pictures candidly and not staged. Louis captured special moments in an unobtrusive manner and in a truly artistic and beautiful way. He really caught wonderful moments of us and the rest of the wedding. He captured the details that wanted to see from that day, including moments we would have missed. The pictures took a little longer to get through no fault of his own.

    I had a great experience with this photographer!
    Easy to work with, great pictures and I especially like that the majority of the pictures dont seem posed. He also made a lot of candid shots of our guests at the wedding which I really liked.
    Also kinda important, he was one of the cheaper photographers that I found, but I absolutely feel we did not get less picture quality for that so overall really happy!
