Mirage Photo

Samantha did such a great job photographing our wedding! Multiple people recommended Mirage to me, and I'm so glad they did! She was so much fun to work with and was very patient with our wild wedding party. She captured he day perfectly and made sure we got all the shots we wanted. I cannot thank them enough!

Mirage Photo did a fantastic job photographing our September zoo wedding! They were so much fun and really captured the whole day! I would definitely recommend!

Samantha and Andy are completely wonderful!! Seriously, they helped keep me calm all day and Sam went above and beyond to help keep things moving. I'm sure she did way more than what a photographer is ever expected to and she did it flawlessly. You need not look any further. You should book Mirage Photo for your wedding, and then the bonus is that you will have a photographer for your growing family to come. AAAAAAHMAZING!

Samantha and Shawn were quite simply the most amazing photographers we have ever had the pleasure to work with. They did our engagement pictures and made us feel at ease throughout the photo session. They even worked with us to include our dogs in the pictures! Then, we actually got the engagement pictures and we were even more pleased with our decision to use Mirage Photo! We will be using them any time we need family pictures done from here on out. We’ve found a forever photographer!

We hired Mirage for our June 17, 2017 wedding. Mirage went above and beyond on our wedding day and throughout the whole process! We were not picky, but when we had a request, they made sure to get it done. From our engagement throughout our wedding day, Mirage was very easy to get a hold of and they were extremely organized throughout the whole process. Not only that, but we had so much fun with them too! I couldn't imagine anyone else who could have done a better job. We can't wait to see all of the photos!

I was so lucky to have Mirage Photo on my wedding day! I remember researching photography companies and not knowing how to make a decision because it was so hard to choose. Then one day, I was talking with my wedding planner and she recommended I call Mirage Photo and set up a meeting; I was so glad I did! I chatted with Sam over the phone first to schedule a meeting with her. We had a meeting a few days later and I just fell in love with her and with the photos I saw of other weddings. The photographers all had experience in College Church and they had also shot a few weddings at the Hyatt so it was a perfect match! I talked it over with my fiance at the time and we agreed that hiring Mirage would be a good decision. We received a first and second shooter on the day of our wedding. I was so glad to have 2 shooters that way we would be able to capture both the guys and gals getting ready. When they arrived they were both ready to begin and had some great ideas for locations and set-up. Working with our photographers was so easy and they were so "go with the flow". We managed to get pictures at the hotel, at the church and then 2 other locations with the bridal party. Once we got back to the reception space I know our 2nd shooter went up to take some shots of the reception space and the 1st shooter stayed with my husband and me to take some more photos in the lobby. It worked out perfectly. During the entire reception I knew we had photographers in the room, but they both did such an excellent job at going unnoticed; I barely ever saw them as they were taking photos. There were times when I needed a group shot and before I even had to ask they were there ready to take the perfect photo. I couldn't have asked for a better photography company. Our pictures came back about a month later and they are excellent; it is going to be so hard to choose which ones to print for our wall. We also get to choose about 80 photos for an album that Mirage will put together for us; I can't wait to see what that looks like when it is all done. Needless to say, I was very happy with my decision to work with Mirage Photo and I would recommend them to anyone. Just keep in mind that you may have to book a year in advance! They are popular because they are so good. Thanks for everything Mirage.

We cannot say enough good things about Sam and her team. Andy, Amy and Sam, you all made our day the best day of our lives. We cannot wait to share our memories with families and friends. From the bustling of my dress to capturing unbelievable moments, you all nailed it! Perfect team and perfect people. We love you all!

Sam and Shawn are AMAZING!!! We had so much fun on our wedding day. Neither my husband, nor I like taking pictures, and both Sam and Shawn made the process enjoyable. We gave them a general location we wanted pictures at and from there, they took over. They were professional and fun to be around. They were around to capture our big day, but also let us enjoy the day with our friends and family. They were not only focused on us, but made sure to get pictures that were important to our parents as well. Our pictures turned out beautiful and I couldn't have asked for anything better. I had multiple guests comment about how amazing both Sam and Shawn were. I had so much fun with Sam and Shawn and they made my day so relaxing. I could not have asked for better photographers!

We could not have been more happy with Sam, Sean and Amy with Mirage! From the moment we met with Sam we knew she would be the perfect fit for our wedding photographer. Straight from the beginning they went out of their way to make our wedding go as smooth as possible. I had forgotten about scheduling our Engagement Shoot, so I didn't have a picture of us to send out on a "Save the Date" card so they set us up with a mini session just so I could get a few shots for that card, and then scheduled the engagement session for when the weather was better. They have such a great chemistry together and beautiful personalities that make you feel like you have known them for years. Sam even drove us back to our hotel after our big day! We could not have chosen a better photographer, and I know we will be coming back for any future photo needs! We loved them all and would highly recommend them for anyone needing to capture the magic of their big day!!!

The photographers made the day so fun!!

If I could give 50 stars, I would. Sam and Shawn are THE BEST, words won't express how incredible they made our day. They are laid back, knowledgeable, and do everything in their power to make this day as easy and perfect as possible. My fiance and I didn't want engagement photos, thought they were lame- well we were wrong! They turned out AWESOME. Mirage Photo went above and beyond and I will use them for LIFE.

Samantha and Shawn are AMAZING!! They are so much fun to work with! They did our engagement as well as wedding pictures. They made it their top priority that we enjoyed our day and that it was well captured. They are so much fun to work with and be around. Our guests and bridal party loved them! They are extremely professional and ensure that you stay on schedule without making you feel rushed. Sam is so easy to get ahold of and takes a lot of time getting a feel for what is important to you. Shawn is a blast to work with as well. He had us laughing the whole time! Their combined creative vision is out of this world! They are more than willing to go above and beyond. My grandmother was in rehab and unable to attend our wedding. They drove all the way across town to take some pictures of us with her. It meant more to me that I can say. I would highly recommend them for any photography need. I look forward to working with them again in the future!

O.M.G. Samantha and Shawn are two of the funniest amazing photographers we have met! We had so much fun with them at both our engagement session and wedding! Our wedding party raved about them also because they were so awesome! When we first met these two at a bridal show I was instantly sold. They are always up to have fun and try new stuff during shoots. During our engagement session we had so much fun when they let us pop and spray champagne everywhere and they got the PERFECT shot for our save the date!! They make taking pictures so easy and fun! Go meet them – you will say O.M.G. too!!

Love them!! I met Samantha and Sam at a wedding show and I knew they had to be our photographers. Their personalities are one of a kind. I took my then fiance to meet them and he liked them as well. They took our engagement photos and they came out perfect. We got so many compliments. It was really hot on our wedding day so they recommended the perfect place to have our photos taken in some shade. We made the best decision going with them! You won't be disappointed!!!

OMGGGGG!!! Sam & Shawn were AMAZING! I had the hardest time picking a photographer because of all of the available options, but immediately made up my mind once I met with Sam. She was so down to earth, sweet and fun that I was instantly sold. She genuinely cares about giving you great pictures and was very reasonably priced compared to a lot of the other options I looked at. You spend ALL day with your photographers, so I was so happy and luck to have spent the day with Sam and Shawn. They are wonderful people and I'm so excited to see all the pictures they took on our wedding day. Their website does NOT do them justice, go meet with them and see all of their incredible work in their studio!!!

Mirage was the perfect photographer to work with for our wedding! My fiancé and I were planning an out of town wedding in St. Louis and Sam was so helpful during the entire process. When we first met Sam and Matt, it was love at first sight. Their enthusiasm and personalities meshed perfectly with our goofy care free style. Their art work from past weddings were brilliant and we knew that they would carry over the same creative spirit for our wedding as well. And boy were we right!!! Two weeks before the wedding, my husband and I decided to plan a last minute engagement photo session at Busch Stadium. Even though it started raining halfway through the session, we had the time of our lives. Sam came with so many ideas and the ending results were a munch of masterpieces. Our wedding day was the same way with Matt and Amy. Our energy just kept feeding off of each other the entire day and they brought incredible ideas to the table. Our favorite photo of the entire day was an impromptu shot in front of a random barn at a park. We can not thank you all enough for the beautiful/elegant/spontaneous/goofy pictures that you took. We will cherish these memories forever!

Shawn and Samantha from Mirage Photography are hands down the best photographers ever. They are personable, fun, creative, and will make your wedding amazing. They watch out for all the little details, and make sure you always have what you need. They watch out for the bride, and make you feel so special. But the best part is that they even make those like my anti-photo husband love taking photos. We love Mirage!

Sam and Shawn are amazing at what they do! Their pictures speak for themselves! We did engagement and wedding photos with them and are more than happy! They captured every special moment and more! The quality is amazing and they are so fun to work with!! Meet them once, and you will understand what I mean!!

From our engagement photo shoot to our wedding day, they were absolutely amazing. They make your day wonderful and are so much fun to work with. Their photos are amazing and they really live up to your expectations. They are very flexible and are willing to do pretty much anything to get the perfect picture for you. They are brilliant and we recommend them to anyone!

Samantha and shawn are amazing. They did a great job on our engagement shoot. They were already booked for our wedding, so we used two other photographers who work for them.

You couldnt ask for anything better. They are the greatest! The best of all!

Sam was fabulous, I had some stuff come up during the planning and she was there to hold my hand and help me cry through it! In addition they are both the most amazing photographers I have ever seen! I feel so blessed to say the Mirage took my wedding photographs! I will use them from now on for every event in my life! I really cannot say enough about how incredible they are not only as photographers but as people! If you go with anyone else you are making a colossal mistake!

I was lucky enough to work with both Shawn and Sam for multiple different photo shoots. I couldn't have been happier with the work they did. They are wonderful photographers who know how to make the people they are shooting feel very comfortable. They are more than happy to let you give them photos you want and are VERY creative in making theirvown shots. They have great prices and will figure out a price based on what you want from them. I loved them for my wedding and I WILL use them again!!!

Very good to work with personable

We used Mirage for our wedding and our engagement pictures. Shawn and Sam are so outgoing and personable that they were the only photographers we interviewed that my husband even really talked to. I knew then they would be perfect to handle our rowdy wedding party and keep everything moving along. Shawn and Matt photographed the wedding and were so fun! They had great ideas, were flexible to shoot photos we had ideas about, and overall were practical and calmed a lot of nerves. They arrived early, were present for every moment without being intrusive, and helpful with hints about how to cut the cake without making a mess! When I wanted to climb on the colorful playground in my wedding dress before the wedding, Shawn was completely rationale in explaining to me that my mother would likely kill me and then him for letting it happen. If the pics are as wonderful as the experience then this five star rating will hold!

We absolutely loved everything about Mirage! We didn't even meet with another photographer before our wedding. We knew as soon as we met with Sam that we didn't want anyone else photographing our wedding. They were the best money we spent for our wedding and the easiest to coordinate and plan with! Everyone who sees our photos loves them and asks who did them. I have so many favorites! I am so happy we chose them as our photographers for such an important event, and I have recommended them to anyone and everyone! We will always appreciate the amazing job they did on our wedding day.

We met Sam and Shawn at a bridal show right after our engagement. We weren't even looking to book a photographer at that time, but they were so much fun that we set up a meeting with them. We live out of town and they came to see us, which was a HUGE plus in our book (they drove over 2 hours to meet with us!). We have since booked them for our November 2012 wedding and couldn't be happier with our decision. Their prices are extremely fair and they were very flexible to give us what we wanted....and we have already had SO much fun just hanging out with Sam and Shawn that we want an excuse to hang out with them again! If having them do our once-in-a-lifetime photos is anything like the customer service they have already provided, then I'm confident we'll be very happy! Their work is amazing and my fiance is excited that they will help him to have fun and open up since he's so shy. A big plus is that they use special lighting everywhere they go (so you'll always look great) and they include editing! I highly recommend them already!

Shawn and Sam were the best money we spent on our wedding! Photography was so important to me and I did not want something traditional. From the moment I met them, Shawn and Sam just "got" me. They completely understood what I wanted and went the extra mile to make sure that they did the very best they could for me. My wedding photos are STUNNING. Any time I show them to someone, they are blown away by how beautiful they are. I can't even pick a favorite because there are so many amazing ones. They even made my very camera-shy husband and brother feel at-ease in front of the camera. If I had to recommend just one vendor from my wedding, it would be Mirage Photo.

Sam & Shawn are the ultimate team! They are beyond awesome and everyone had only great things to say about them. They stayed until the very end of my reception because they loved me so much :) They even put together a small "day of" slideshow to have to show at my reception, unbelievable...it was so amazing! Most importantly, they got a long with all my other vendors & my guests. I would recommend Mirage to anyone because my overall experience was amazing! So happy you were apart of our day & thanks again for sharing our WHOLE wedding day with us :) Love You Guys!!!!

Shawn and Sam went above and beyond to make our wedding photos one of a kind. Their personalities and style were like nothing we found in any other photographer. The photos they took were unique and caputred our personalities perfectly. We had such fun during each of our photo shoots with them. Our bridal party, even commented about how much they enjoyed the photographer, even commenting that they made the day and reception fun and memorable. Shawn and Sam were flexible and easy to work with. They were willing to travel with us to Florida to shoot our engagement photos. We certainly felt that we got more than our money's worth!

Sam and Shawn were the absolute best!! Not only were they amazing photographers from day #1, but they did things above and beyond needed for our day. Sam went and picked my dad up for us when a transportation crisis occurred, and Shawn helped all the groomsman avert a "beverage" crisis and picked up some drinks for them as well!!! They made the day fun and my entire wedding party couldn't stop raving about them. If you want a relaxing and hilarious day with GREAT pictures, this is the company to use!!! Love you both!!! Steve and Christine

We LOVE Mirage! Sam & Shawn were amazing from the moment we met them. From our engagement pictures to the wedding day, they were willing to help make our wedding adventure everything we wanted. Their fun and outgoing personalities made us both feel very comfortable...and to top it off, we had an absolute blast! They've got tons of great ideas for shoots & some mad photo editing skills. Thanks, Sam & Shawn, for being so incredibly SUPERB!
