It’s becoming extremely saturated and cut-throat in the industry right now and honestly… it’s a little scary.

I, like so many other photographers, simply can’t keep up with the flooding comments on these posts and I’m at a loss.
For the last 9 years, I have served the Missouri area as one of the most affordable wedding photographers… I’ve been published in magazines, my work has been printed on billboards across Jefferson/St Louis County, I’m on some extremely desirable venue lists of preferred vendors, and I have a reputation of providing beautiful + timeless wedding photos/videos - yet the time has come for me to ask all of you for help.
Word of mouth is the MOST powerful tool for advertising. Your personal recommendations and referrals may be the only way I can keep my business alive.
Moving forward, from today 02/19/26 and on, for every couple that books with me from your referral, I will pay you a finders fee. Once the contract is signed and retainer is paid - you will receive an instant payout of $50 via Venmo, Apple Pay, or PayPal. No raffles, no free/discounted photgraphy sessions, etc.
Actual money in your pocket! So if you know someone planning their wedding and looking for a photographer, please send them my way!
If you read this far, thank you.
From the bottom of my heart, and my family, thank you.
