Your Story by Jeremy + Melisa

Jeremy and Melissa were incredible to work with! Our wedding was such an unforgettable day, and it’s quite something to have it immortalized in such thoughtful photography. Look through their pictures, and you will be able to see what I’m talking about!
My parents went through a very rocky divorce, which was finalized just weeks before our wedding. Naturally, I was somewhat worried about how this would play out on the day of. I think Jeremy and Melissa helped more than they may realize by bringing in their positive energy and expertise. I was able to forget about all of my worries and felt truly happy that day – Jeremy and Melissa were a huge part of that. I think this really speaks to the value of having photographers who are experienced and sensitive. We are so grateful for all the time and effort that they spent on our photos and can’t recommend them enough!

The decision of who to choose for my wedding photographer was very easy. In addition to Jeremy and his wife, and second shooter, Melisa being old family friends, I had seen through Facebook the amazing quality of photos and their high level of professionalism. Through meetings and our engagement session, they really found out what my husband and I were like, and took photos that perfectly represented our style. They were so committed to shooting us in a place that was important to us, that they flew to Boston for our engagement session, and weathered below freezing temperatures with us for an entire afternoon! The pictures turned out incredible, and Jeremy transformed them into an awesome guest book for our ceremony. On our wedding day, in St. Louis, it was sitting at a steady 108 degrees. Jeremy and Melisa made sure we stayed cool all throughout our shots, and I still can’t believe how amazing the shots turned out! You would have never guessed how hot it was! Despite the heat, we had a blast shooting with these two – they are truly amazing people both personally and professionally! During the ceremony and reception, they were able to capture such amazing moments without me ever even noticing they were there. I have gotten so many compliments on my engagement and wedding photos, and my husband and I’s biggest conflict has been narrowing down which pictures to put in our wedding album because there are just too many great shots to choose from! These two have such an amazing eye and will exceed your wildest expectations! I cannot recommend Your Story enough!

Jeremy and Melisa were outstanding to work with. They made everyone feel comfortable, including the mothers of the bride and groom. Very personable. Cost was very reasonable. And most importantly, the photos are absolutely amazing. I could not be happier with how everything went when working with them, and I would recommend them highly to anyone looking for a good wedding/​engagement photographer.

Our wedding is still some 100 days away, yet I am pretty confident in saying that hiring Jeremy and Melisa to shoot our engagement and upcoming nuptials was the best and most important decision we made. Forget the fact that they were willing and able to come all the way to Brooklyn to shoot our current home (something we NEVER thought would be an option with a St. Louis-​based photographer), Jeremy and co. not only got us absolutely breathtaking engagement photos that perfectly captured our personalities and life together (with not one, but two pets involved!) but have also literally held our hands through putting together a less than traditional ceremony location and all the nitty-​gritty details of planning photography throughout the big day. If you’re getting married in the next year, do yourself and book Your Story ASAP — you do not want to miss out on working with this amazing duo!

Things you should not go the cheap route on for a wedding… #1 is photographer, and Jeremy is the best in the business. As an industry professional, I was very picky with who my wife and I wanted to capture our day. We came across your story, and set up a meeting with Jeremy. Right from the start his warm inviting nature made us comfortable, and it was all amazing from that point on. The photos, and quality of his work are second to none. You would be foolish to not want to work with him. He makes your memories into amazing art, that you can not put a price tag on.

As soon as I went to the YSS website and saw the gorgeous pictures of previous weddings I knew immediately that this was my photographer! The pictures that Jeremy produces are not just your typical, staged, lifeless pictures that you see so much with wedding photographers. Instead, they are, as the name suggests, «photoART.» We talked to half a dozen photographers before meeting Jeremy, the owner of YSS. The majority of other companies’ photo albums ran together in my mind, but the photos that YSS had produced were one of a kind. We had our «posed» shots, of course, but even those aren’t your run of the mill photos when YSS is behind the lens. Jeremy and Melissa shot our November 2010 wedding at The Jewel Box. They were both so kind, patient, and had great ideas for the group and individual shots. I knew my memories were being preserved by two talented individuals with great vision and passion for what they were doing. At one point, I even saw Jeremy up on a chair catching an awesome moment of our wedding party dance. The finished photos that I have seen are wonderful– more than I could have hoped for. I highly reccomend Your Story Photoart Studios for any bride that is looking for a great experience and a unique way to remember your special day at a very fair price.
