Jon Koch Photography

If you are looking for a photographer in St. Louis look no further! My husband and I had truly the most amazing experience with Jon. He is incredibly professional but above that very kind and understanding and here is why,
My husband and I had a very intimate ceremony, just the priest and 2 witnesses, so I relied solely on photos to share this experience with both of our families. Jon totally captured the moment, so much so that both families felt as if they had been present and that is exactly what I wanted since they could not attend. It was intimate, it was romantic and it was classic.
Our pictures turned out so much better than I could have ever expected!
So here is where the understanding part comes in to play, unfortunately it rained on our wedding day and we had planned to have the majority of our pictures that were not taken in the church, in different locations outside. Jon was nice enough to reschedule that half of the shoot (a little over an hour) at our convenience. Well, as you know this is St. Louis and the weather is often unpredictable so the following week it was bitter cold! A high of about 20 degrees but it wasn’t raining so I was determined to get the photos done! Jon went out with us and even though he was freezing, he took the most beautiful photos and we don’t even look cold!!! I was so impressed by his professionalism and his willingness to do just a about anything to make us happy.
He even helped us work out a payment that was right for us. I have absolutely nothing negative to say about our experience with Jon.
Unbelievable photos and I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer, he will not disappoint!

When starting to plan my wedding, I knew the single most important vendor I was going to be working with was the photographer. It was the first thing I started looking for after my engagement, and one of the first people I hired. I knew the photography would be how I remembered, and my future children saw my wedding for years to come.
When I found Jon Koch’s work, I realized it was exactly what I wanted. I felt emotional looking at photos from a stranger’s wedding day. Start to finish, I felt like I was there. He captured the entire feeling of the day.
I knew photography was not something I was willing to compromise on, and was willing to pay for the right one. And, I think Jon’s prices are worth every penny.
He worked with us on our engagement shoot, and a boudoir shoot for myself, and on our wedding day. His assistant, Kate, was wonderful as well, and was able to get some interesting angles on a lot of shots. Jon is professional and such a sweet guy. He captured our wedding in a very personal and beautiful way. He explains his philosophy on his website as: «I use photojournalism as my starting point, but my coverage is more than just recording what happens– it’s documentation infused with fashion and fine art.»
And that is exactly what I see when I look back at our photos.
