Heather Roth Fine Art Photography

you want a professional photographer who takes amazing photo's please call Heather Roth. You will not be disappointed.

iful and she captured every detail of our day perfectly. The quality of her work and products are unlike any other. Everything with Heather was perfect and I recommend her to anyone who is looking for a wedding photographer!

with. The pictures we got were AMAZING! Everyone we have shown them to says they are the best wedding pictures they have EVER seen and I completely agree. I can't wait to continue to use Heather in the future for all of our picture needs!!

that she actually asked us what we wanted. I know it sounds like such an obvious aspect to hiring a photographer, but she was the only one to do it out of the numerous companies we talked to. She brought out albums and asked specifically which pictures we liked, why we liked them, and what aspects we wanted to remember from the day. For example, my husband and I didn't really care if we had a ton of pictures of the bridesmaids getting their hair and makeup done, and so Heather focused her time and energy on getting the pictures that we wanted instead. Also, she asked about us as a couple. She wanted to know how we met, how we got engaged, and what we love about each other. It became very clear very early on that she cared about us as more than just clients, she cared about us as people and wanted to give us exactly what we wanted. She was also so accommodating! We wanted our engagement pictures at my family's farm two hours away, and she didn't hesitate to say that she was willing to drive out there one day for our pictures. Even during the day of the wedding, she was asking how everyone was, if she could help with anything, and was so lovely to every single person. She carried herself with grace, and professionalism. We have heard from every person who was in contact with her during the wedding how wonderful, funny, nice, and just overall amazing she was. The biggest blessing of working with Heather, however, is that she doesn't over-direct everyone. She will give direction, but it was barely anything. Some shots were posed, mostly for myself and my husband, but it was only where we should look or put our hands, etc. and they turned out beautiful! She is the expert on what will look good, so we had no problem following her directions. Every photographer will do some stylized pictures of the bride and groom, that is unavoidable, but she never ordered us to do anything. They were suggestions of what she thought would look beautiful but we knew we could veto anything she said. But the posed shots were probably 30% of all the pictures. Mostly, she would ask all the bridesmaids to get together, for example, and that was the extent of her directions. She never told anyone where to stand, who to stand with, where to position their head, but let us naturally come together and pose. The pictures are still elegant but you can tell we are relaxed and enjoying ourselves. You can visibly see the love, laughter, and joy in every person's face and stance and I genuinely believe that is because Heather let us be us. I cannot recommend Heather more. We loved her, and will continue to use her for everything!

for yourself :-) ), you will not be in better hands than Heather. In what can be a very nerve-wracking, vulnerable experience, Heather's warmth, humor, kindness and expert eye will ensure you not only relax, but have fun. I was constantly laughing. And that doesn't even begin to describe the final product. My husband was blown away by the album on the morning of our wedding. Later-on, he told me that it was really the professional quality of the photos that made his jaw drop. I absolutely adored working with Heather and completely trusted her throughout the process. No matter what time in your life you book Heather to capture, I have no doubt you will adore her as well and be blown away by the photos she captures.

ginal, funny, with loads of class. She made us feel comfortable and so extremely special, during every last e-mail, meeting, and event. We are so fortunate to have such beautiful keepsakes from some of the most precious moments of our life. Can't wait for future opportunities to work with Heather!

without being snappy. Heather was also wonderful to work with early on in the planning process - as soon as we reached out to her, she called to help work out a day-of timeline. I know that if we hadn't had Heather to help us gauge how long certain agenda items would take, we would have been rushed and frantic on our big day! But thanks to Heather, everything went off without a hitch, and the effortless, peaceful, fun vibe of the day is captured beautifully in our photos. We'll cherish our photos forever. Thank you, Heather Roth Fine Art Photography!

lete the job. Despite this efficiency, she somehow still manages to achieve the highest level of artistic quality in the finished product. Highly recommended!

during a wedding weekend. From an artistic point of view, she kills it. She is willing to take risks and pushes herself creatively. I appreciate someone who is great at their craft but is always trying to be even better. I absolutely adore my images (film + digital!) and our experience together. Heather is a gift to St. Louis, and I look forward to her being our life photographer.

about the quality of her photos, but I encourage you to go to her website and see her artistic prowess with your own two eyes. Let me say a few things about Heather.. From the moment you meet Heather, you'll be blown away by her warmth and kindness. Her friendly, laid back style is so refreshing. As someone who is not naturally comfortable in front of a camera, it was invaluable to have a photographer like Heather. She has an uncanny ability of making even the most nervous of subjects relax. Her easy-going nature does not stop her from being shockingly efficient and in control. She organized our families and the wedding party quickly, calmly and with a smile on her face (we gave her quite the challenge with a rambunctious, 20 person, wedding party). At the end of the day we were ahead of schedule! It would be remiss not to mention Heather's fabulous husband, Ryan. He was the second photographer on our wedding day. Together they are a well-oiled machine and extremely fun to work with. After a day spent with them, you leave wishing that you were lifelong friends. Heather took the time to get to know my fiancé and I. She understood the "feel" we wanted for both our engagement photos and wedding photos. In fact, she actually picked the locations for all of our photos, and NAILED it. The locations were unexpected and absolutely perfect. Because of Heather, Chris and I have a priceless collection of photos that brilliantly captured our big day. We cannot wait to use Heather again!

infectious personality kept everyone smiling throughout the day! (I have the photos to prove it!) Thanks again, Heather!

he entire day. She is truly a sweetheart and helped to ensure that our wedding day was spectacular! I would highly recommend Heather Roth Fine Photorgaphy for any occasion!

ho said the photographer was not great at directing the bridal party, didn't get the photos they wanted or were just kind of dull and boring to work with, but Heather is NONE of these things! She knows exactly what she wants and what will look fantastic, while still being fun and flexible to what the bride/groom want! While she may not be the cheapest photographer in the St. Louis area, she is ABSOLUTELY worth it because who doesn't want AMAZING pictures to remember their big day by!!

created the look and feel of the day. We can't thank her enough and these photos will be something we look back on for years to come.

pert. Every single on of her pictures comes out beautifully! The wedding day was so easy with Heather. She told us exactly where we needed to go and what we needed to do. I think my favorite thing about Heather is the fact that she is so fun! She always had us laughing and giggling. She really became a part of our family through this whole process. I cannot wait to continue to use Heather for baby pictures, family pictures, and everything else! I would absolutely recommend Heather as a photographer, she is the best in the business!

Her knack for always being able to find the perfect lighting makes your photographs come to life. Our time with her always seemed to fly, it was that much fun. She has an ease that makes you feel so comfortable around her, even if you don’t feel like you are the photogenic type. She also offered us great tips and tricks in order to better our engagement shoot. From there, we were able to incorporate all of those little details into our wedding day shoot! Heather also has impeccable taste. Whether it comes forth in her photographs or her own personal style, this lady has it all! She is one girl I’d like to take some fashion tips from or have host a party for me. Not only was Heather wonderful to work with as a photographer but a great person all around. She seems to become your friend and a part of your life. While there is obviously a business relationship between you and your photographer, Heather is always concerned with how things are going in your day-to-day life. She is extremely nice, genuine and willing to help with any odd questions you might have along your wedding planning journey. She was so incredibly helpful and kind to us during the entire process. We could not have asked for someone better. Without a doubt, we will most definitely continue to use Heather Roth Photography in the future for any of our photography needs in our new journey together as husband and wife. Meghan & Grant

Heather has so much energy and gets so excited that she immediately puts you at ease. By getting us to relax and have fun, she was able to take some of the best genuine and natural shots I’ve ever seen. She has an amazing way about her that makes you feel comfortable. She is truly great at her craft and you can see that in her work. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer for their big day.

le to work with Heather, you won't regret it. My wedding photos are a beautiful blend of art and portraits; they are stunning keepsakes that I can have in my family forever. Heather is a spectacular artist. She not only captured traditional/classic ceremony and family photos (which was important to me), but she also captured candid emotion, which is so, so crucial in wedding photos. It's Heather who is there to catch glances, smiles, moments of grace; all the perfect moments with the perfect lighting. When I look at my wedding photos, the same emotions I felt that day are triggered. Not every photographer can do that. Working with Heather is a breeze and a treat. I don't like to overcrowd and micromanage vendors. I gave Heather creative room, and she went above and beyond what I expected. Heather isn't the type of photographer that needs a daunting list of must-take photos from Pinterest. Heather knows what today's bride wants AND knows what brides don't know they want. Every single candid photo, from the ceremony to the cake cutting to the dance floor, I'll appreciate and cherish for years to come. Bottom line: Heather pays impeccable attention to detail and it shows through her work. If you're serious about your wedding photos, then work with Heather. No one else's art will be able to evoke the same joy you and your husband experienced that day. Thank you, Heather!

e flowers have died, the cake is long gone, and your dress is all boxed up, your pictures are the gateway back into that wonderful time, and all the love and joy you felt on your wedding day - so make sure you find a photographer that you trust and believe in! I think Heather's work speaks for itself; if you like what you see on her website and blog, you will not be disappointed in real life. But what may not be quite as evident is how wonderful it is to work with Heather and her team, from your initial consultation until the pictures are complete. Heather is casual and totally laid back (and possibly a ninja – we barely noticed that pictures were being taken most of the time). She also has all these great ways to make you feel comfortable being lovey-dovey in front of the camera (something that was not natural for me and the Hubs). Truthfully, some of our best pictures came from Heather's gentle encouragement to loosen up! Most of all, Heather let us be us, which allowed her to capture some real sweet stuff and the genuine emotion/love/happiness/joy of the day. I wish you all good luck in your search for the perfect photographer, but the truth is, you have found the best. We love our pictures so much and cannot imagine anyone else but Heather being with us for our wedding!!

owed our options down to a few for us to meet with. Within the first 30 seconds of meeting Heather, we knew she was the one for us! She has such a warm, welcoming, calming personality. She immediately offered us champagne (that sold me!) and then wanted to hear all the details of our story and engagement. She made us feel very comfortable – which is something we felt throughout the entire process with her. She is so personal and easy to work with. I honestly can’t imagine working with anyone else. She was the perfect fit for us. Now, to her work – unbelievable. She did an incredible job at capturing all the important moments and emotions from our wedding day. We couldn’t be happier with her work! I told her when she left the wedding that I wish I could get married again (to the same guy, obviously) so I could work with her again! Ha! I could go on and on, but the point is, she is the BEST photographer around. Hope that she's available on your date and then hire her! You won’t regret it.

over as she grew in visible excitement while we recounted our engagement story and the vision we had for our wedding day. Her ability to not just capture an image, but to tell your love story through photos is a skill not easily found but incredible to see. Both Heather and Ryan have a true gift for finding those special moments--a glance, a kiss, a simple embrace--that can transport you back to that place and remind you all over again why you fell in love. We were fortunate enough to have them shoot our engagement, rehearsal dinner, and wedding day. Despite the awkwardness and nerves inherent in being in front of a camera together for the first time, Heather expertly guided us through the process and helped us focus on each other and our loved ones. The results are some really special photos of our closest friends and family interacting with us on the best day of our lives. Your hardest choice will be selecting which photos to include in your album as you look through the gallery way more times than you are willing to admit.

, flattering, unique. Our wedding party was huge (22 people in total). It was no small task to manage this large, boisterous group. Heather not only got through our photos quickly, but also had the entire group in love with her by the end of the day! My biggest take away - when you hire a vendor for your wedding, you want to be sure they do excellent work. But you also need to remember you will be spending a large portion of this very special day with your vendor. It was very important to me that I enjoyed being around all of our wedding vendors. Heather was all of the above. I would hire her over and over and over again.

with an expensive camera; she knows how to use it and takes some of the most gorgeous photos we have ever seen. We met, had champagne, shared an incredible conversation, and practically signed up right away. Here are the particulars: -She has an incredible personality and made my wife and me feel so comfortable... I'm not one who is typically comfortable sharing incredibly intimate moments and Heather practically became part of the family during our first shoot. -She is fast, like really fast, and our photo shoots were so enjoyable... -She scouted out spots for our wedding photos and basically took the reigns during that time... again, shooting fast (the sun was quickly setting) and making us and our friends all very comfortable -She is such an amazing photographer that she gets to train others (one of her second shooters was training) -She has a lovely, really attractive husband who also works at times as her second shooter. He made sure I didn't look like a dork. -She made our family happy! -She made our family happy... (that wasn't a typo) Overall, we had an incredible experience with Heather and her team. If you're looking for an incredible experience and a photographer who will, quite simply, not let you down, go with Heather Roth. She really is lovely and took great photos for my wife and me.

d my many questions. When the Big Day finally came it really was the wedding of our dreams, Heather and Ryan captured all of it, plus some! The pictures are GORGEOUS and really capture how we were feeling. Heather and Ryan are so creative they made the day a blast for us, our family and friends.
