Schroder Photography

equested spot for engagement photos and changing his contract even at the last minute as the missus and I flip flopped on the hours we wanted. He is extremely creative as he has a keen eye for great backdrops no matter where he is. He is very clear and instructive for more structured photos while still making them feel candid. For the actual wedding day he also needed no instructions as he is very experienced on what any couple would want to remember from their big day. He is also very patient as he helped organize our families for photos and helped guide me and my wife when we have no experience with photography/lighting/etc. Louis is also extremely friendly, helping my wife and I feel calm and safe like we were just getting some pictures done by a friend. He is also skilled at the post production of photos to really bring the life and tone to each photograph. We can’t say enough good things about him and we’re so glad we were able to find him! From one couple to another, the wedding day is stressful and busy so getting a good photographer like Louis will really help you to relax and just enjoy the day like you’re supposed to!

e is not a single one that we hate! Louis is so knowledgeable, our first call with him really made our choice easy. I was worried that since we opted to not do an engagement shoot that the day of might be awkward meeting for the first time but Louis is so clam and relaxed and I think our pictures show that. He listened and remembered a few requests I had which I really appreciated. If you are thinking of hiring Louis I would say absolutely do it!!

at ideas for pictures for us as a couple, as individuals, and with our bridal party. Plus, he was great at capturing the scene and fun everyone was having! We are so happy with our wedding photos and are so thankful to Louis for his quick return and amazing talent to help us remember our special day!

punctual and made us very comfortable in front of the camera! He’s dedicated to getting the best shots and finds some really great spots for a photo op no matter where the location. He made sure we stepped outside of our reception for less then 5 minutes to catch the golden hour for pics and honestly those were our favorites! Highly recommend!

to speak with Louis to get a true feel for his style, personality, and experience. Within five minutes of our conversation, I felt confident that Louis was genuine, loved his work, listened well and was responsive to all ideas and questions, was humble yet proud of his abilities and would make my husband and I feel comfortable on our wedding day. While I analyzed his wedding photo gallery looking at the type of photos he takes, my husband only had one request for our photographer: no cheesy corn balls. Our phone conversation proved without question that Louis is NOT a cheesy cornball. :) We spoke, e-mailed and texted before our wedding and went over details, timelines, important people and photos that we would like taken the day of, and he specifically asked for shots that we would like taken. I asked him if he could take a silhouette shot. He immediately sent me silhouette photos that he’s taken and asked if that is what I had in mind. He nailed it! On the day of our wedding, he arrived on time and immediately checked in with me to take some getting ready photos, took detailed pictures in our backyard, and seamlessly drifted around the house capturing big and small details. Once I was in my dress and ready, he gently guided me as he shot the most magnificent pictures. He utilized natural lighting, angles and poses that made me feel more beautiful than I have ever felt in my life. My husband and I had a perfect first look that he orchestrated before our ceremony. The photos showcase our emotion perfectly. We had a private photo shoot afterwards where he took pictures that were both candid and traditional. He has such a natural way about him that helps him get the shot he’s looking for while also making my husband and I feel completely at ease. We took all of our bridal party and family pictures before our ceremony as well. He arranged these photos efficiently! He quickly and miraculously got everyone to look and smile at the same time! Once our ceremony began, he somehow managed to drift into the background and took photos from every angle imaginable. There were countless pictures that I did not realize he took as I had no idea he was in so many inconspicuous positions. Following our ceremony, my husband and I had another photo shoot that was so relaxed, so much so that he even snapped a pic of my husband picking something out of my teeth. And he did it in black and white! We joined our cocktail hour where we took many quick photos with family and friends while Louis also took candid shots of all of the important people we talked about before our wedding and anything and everything that caught his eye. Our reception was under a tent outside and as it started to rain, it did not slow Louis down. He still took gorgeous pictures at night despite the rain. Our guests adored him. Our other vendors raved about him and asked for his contact information. My husband and I are so grateful that we have the photos that he captured to treasure for the rest of our lives. Thank you, Louis.

all 1,800 of our photos back in 1 month. It was faster than I was expecting. He was great the day of the wedding… around enough, but not in the way. He made sure we got the shots we wanted and had good time management the day of. Would definitely recommend!!

also was able to manage the posed photos after the reception quickly and efficiently. And of course, he and the second photographer were easygoing, nice and great to work with. I highly, HIGHLY recommend Louis and his team! === Louis took our engagement photos in Central Park two Sundays ago. We had a great time, and the pictures were stunning! Louis is friendly and professional. My fiancé and I did not feel overly-posed, and Louis did a fantastic job of capturing our essence as a couple. I enjoyed his more naturalistic style. Quick turnaround to get the photos, and they were not overly edited. Thanks Louis, can’t wait to work with you on the big day!

r our special day. We got the rights to our photos which was so helpful when it came time to Christmas gifts. :) Above all else, he was patient and accommodating. Our original date was 7/14/19, but chose to postpone for personal reasons. Rescheduled for 7/19/20 and had to postpone yet again because of COVID. We were finally able to make it all happen 6/6/21. He was prompt and was not intrusive at all. Even only a couple months later I still love looking through my pictures, especially some of the best shots of my niece and nephew who stole the show! The moments captured are now timeless and all the candid photos are what we specifically asked for and he beyond delivered. We could not be happier! Thank you Louis!!!

! We had 2 photographers, which essentially gave us hundreds and hundreds of photos at every angle. He made us laugh and truly enjoy the process - even our families noticed how wonderful and attentive he was! I HIGHLY recommend his services 😊❤️

to do both. A bonus for us was that he still uses film for some shots and gave us that vintage wedding feel we love. Louis is very patient and great with those without modeling experience. His turnaround time was excellent and we will cherish our photos. Would recommend 10/10 5 stars

the shots done before the ceremony as I requested even though hair and makeup were running late. He was able to manage family, the bridal party, kids, and even our dog. The pictures came out amazing as well. We are very grateful for Louis!

Louis’s style – capturing candid moments. In browsing his site, I was impressed with the advice and information he makes available to those seeking a wedding photographer and felt like I already knew who he was by his content. From the beginning, Louis was professional and friendly, grabbing a coffee with my husband and I to discuss what we were looking for in a photographer and giving us the opportunity to be able to see his personality first hand – I was keen to hire someone that I felt could blend in with the party. We knew he was a perfect fit for us and we couldn’t be happier with the results that came from hiring Louis. Louis is beyond flexible, creative, timely, and a just an all-around pleasure to work with. During the wedding, if we wanted to capture a shot with friends or family, Louis or Andrea were there. Louis was also great at finding moments to quickly pull us away to capture more intimate photos and fulfilling our wish list of nightfall photos outside the venue. Following the wedding day, he had preview shots ready for us so quickly and the full collection ready as promised by. And, I must say, there are so many fantastic photos and favorites to chose from. Louis and Andrea did a great job not only capturing us but also capturing all of our guests as well. You cannot go wrong with Schroder Photography for your wedding photographer! Check out his website and all his recent work to see for yourself—one of my favorites is our lounging on the red booth with my feet kicked up 😊

dating and understanding throughout all the shifts and changes that had occurred over the past year and a half due to Covid. Our plans changed several times and with every change he was responsive and always on board. What an amazing person to work with and we were honored to have him as our photographer!

or years to come. Highly recommend!!

t! He was also wonderful to work with, really listening to what we wanted.

r location. My fiancé and I were looking for someone we could get along with, since we’d be spending so much time with him on our bit day. Louis was the perfect match! Louis is friendly and professional, and has a “light touch”—that is, we didn’t feel overly posed or uncomfortable. He did a great job capturing us at our best.

nside the church with a limited guest list and our reception completely outside with a tent. Wedding planning during Covid was no joke but Louis was very professional throughout the whole process (even checking in throughout to see if we were keeping the date or postponing) and truly provided an amazing experience! Our parents had commented on how sublte he was throughout the day yet he seemed to be everywhere all at once! The photos came out beautiful and months later I emailed him asking for an edit to a photo so I could use it as a Christmas gift and he was kind enough to do that for us. The photos came in prompt with a couple sneak peaks leading up to it which was also very exciting as we waited. I would also like to add that we had a LARGE bridal party. 10 adults on each side then 2 flower girls and 2 ring bearers. Louis handled the large groups like a pro and really kept everone relaxed and having fun during the group shots. Truly a great photographer, very professional and a very kind person! Louis, thank you for all capturing all of the special memories that made our day so great! We truly appreciate you!

of the day! There were also 5 dogs in attendance at the wedding and he did a great job working with them and got some awesome candids of them with their owners. Our photos turned out fantastic!

I ended up making several collages because it was impossible to select only a few to put up in our home. Louis was spectacular from start to finish. I went into my wedding day confident that he would be a fantastic photographer and he certainly delivered!

n of the bride and groom, family and friends throughout the day. From the bridal party getting ready to the end of the evening dance floor celebration and all the special moments in between. Schroder Photography must also be commended for professionally remaining invisible at the same time.

me to understand you and your style! He met with us in person to make sure we all felt comfortable together and listened to all of our ideas! Our wedding day turned out to be pretty cold with some recent heavy snow but we wanted some outdoor pictures and they pulled it off like pros! Can't say enough good things! THANKS LOUIS!!

ful moments captured in time. He was very out-of-the-way and we didn't even realize he was there. Highly recommend for your event!

. He also suggested the use of an assistant photographer for not much more money and we were glad we did. They worked well together to get everything done and made sure to take specific requested shots even in the chaos of the day. I even gave him a list of the shots that same day and he made it happen (though I suggest you do this in advance to save yourself stress). We are in love with our photos and the job he did.

t absolutely BEAUTIFUL shots. You can’t go wrong! Thank you Louis for being so amazing and being a part of our special day.

mily photos while making everyone relax and even have fun. I highly recommend him!

about having to wait for answers from the other side of the planet! Louis was recommended by a friend, and I will owe her FOREVER! Louis & Alex were "everywhere" but never "in our faces". They got beautiful shots & we didn't even know they were there for the candids. The pictures are gorgeous. He was wonderful to deal with. This was by far the easiest part of planning the wedding. I couldn't have asked for anyone better! LOVE YOU, LOUIS SCHRODER!

fun. Brings me right back to the day, it’s an indescribable feeling to have it captured so perfectly. The day of, they were great and really made sure we got what we wanted in terms of family and friend pictures. They also just kept snapping pics, so the shots in between the poses ended up being some of my favorites! Louis also made sure to get so many pictures of our guests and I can’t wait to share them with everyone! There are SO many photos, it makes me so happy, seriously what a dream. Oh, also, FAST turnaround! Wedding was Sept 14, got previews on the 25th and all of them on October 5th!!! I was so nervous about hiring the right photographer, but Louis was the first vendor we booked when we were planning and I’m so thrilled we did 🤩

He was always where he needed to be but never in your face. Professional, accommodating & creative. He was an absolute delight & we loved the final product! One of the best decisions we made for the wedding!

to work with - even during our first phone call he immediately made us feel like we've known him forever. It was such a relief to have a professional wedding photographer who had experience shooting at our venue. He was very reasonably priced, has a ton of experience which shows in every single photograph he took, and was very responsive. We didn't do an engagement shoot as we opted for a second photographer instead, and we didn't regret the decision. The day of our wedding, Louis and his assistant took many photos from different aspects and from both sides of the family. Honestly, we didn't even realize Louis and his assistant were taking photographs for the majority of the day. They got some great action shots that my partner and I didn't personally witness - it was great having these photographs to see how much our family and friends enjoyed our wedding! Our sneak peak was given to us approximately a week after our wedding, and all of our photographs (definitely well over 1,000 photos) were given to us within a month and a half. If you're looking for a photographer who is professional, reliable and overall a genuinely great person with a clear passion for what he does, Louis is your guy! P.S. - Louis is the only photographer I have seen that offers 3D photographs. Trust me when I say this is definitely something you should consider adding onto your package! My partner and I were hesitant at first since we didn't know how a 3D photograph would come out, but once Louis explained to us the process, we were hooked. Our 3D photographs came in a beautiful wooden box carved with our names and wedding date. It is the perfect thing to have on our coffee table and is a great conversation starter. The 3D photographs made me feel like I was reliving our wedding day all over again. We would 100% recommend Louis to our friends and family and will definitely use him again for future photo shoots!

for us right away when we reached out to him. Photos look amazing. He does a great job capturing the right background and using the right lighting. Photos are completed within three weeks of the wedding. He offers great packages.

speak to. I highly recommend him to everyone. We received our photos back within a month after the wedding. Louis is very knowledgeable and anyone who hires him is lucky to have them as their photographer.

aphs would turn out. Both Louis and Alex were so reassuring and they definitely did not disappoint! Louis and Alex delivered such beautiful and romantic photos. I am so glad that we picked Schroder Photography to photograph our wedding day. I highly recommend!

t of photos (only three weeks after the event--very quick turnaround!), Louis was always responsive, attentive, and helpful. We chose Louis because his photos looked natural and well-lit, and his website showed that he captured some great candid moments. We also appreciated that Louis had previously photographed at the venue and was comfortable working with a same-sex couple. We booked Louis for 8 hours on the day of the wedding, and our package included a second photographer (we did not opt for an engagement shoot). We spent the first hour or so doing a mini-shoot of just the two of us, followed by an hour or so of posed family photos. We provided Louis with a list of family photo combinations, and we appreciated that he got through the list efficiently. Louis and Alex spent the rest of the time photographing the ceremony and reception. They were friendly to our guests and the photos came out beautifully. Louis and Alex managed to take really great photos without being intrusive or disruptive, which we very much appreciated. We could not recommend Louis more highly.

of the pictures we wanted & more. My wedding party & family loved them both and truly enjoyed working with them. We could truly see how much they love what they do and how much they wanted to capture all of the love throughout my day. You will not be disappointed!

pictures that we requested to be taken were taken. We have seen some of our pictures as posted on Facebook, as they were put up the same day, and they were amazing and breathtaking. I can’t wait to see the rest of the pictures! I highly recommend Louis to photograph any event as he was amazing. Should I ever need to hire a photographer for any event, I will be calling Louis. Thanks for everything Louis!!

were able to take pictures at all of our favorite spots around the Princeton campus. Louis was very accommodating to requests for additional photos and combinations, and had a good eye for positioning people. He suggested having two photographers, which ended up being a great decision, as we got a lot of candids and different angles, especially at the reception. Overall the photos wonderfully captured our special day, and were well worth the money.

course seeing the end results. Our pictures came out amazing and he caught so many that I didn’t even know he was taking. Highly recommend. Thank you Louis for being so good at what you do!

rty full of kids, and he managed to connect with them so naturally. They still remember and talk about how cool Mr. Louis was.

ding to be as laid back as possible, which we talked about beforehand so that everyone would be on board. Louis and his assistant were super friendly and were able to take tons of candid shots. We got lots of positive feedback from guests about how "the photographers stayed out of the way", which isn't always the case. The pictures came out wonderful and captured even the smallest details. We got the photos back within a month of the wedding. We truly appreciated everything and would highly recommend Louis to anyone in need of an event photographer! :)

sional to work with. I seriously couldn’t have asked for a better photographer. He worked within our timeline & our itinerary and made suggestions accordingly to ease my crazy bride-stressed mind. Louis captured our day perfectly from my ridiculous gestures to each precious & candid moment including our officiant running late to the ceremony! He came with a variety of cameras, including “old-fashioned” film (LOL!) ones to create unique feelings for each image. In addition to a wonderful photographer, he’s the best secret keeper! I called him to inform him of a surprise for my husband-to-be & told him I needed him to get that moment because I knew I wouldn’t remember & he delivered perfectly. He also delivered our full set of pictures within a month from our wedding & emailed us one of the film pictures just days after while we were on our honeymoon. I 100% recommend Louis & if I had to do it all again, would pick him in a heartbeat! I totally recommend the Engagement/Ice-Breaker session. It gave Mike & I the opportunity to get to know Louis & his style & gave him the opportunity to get to know us & our personalities. It took away the awkwardness of having someone following you & capturing the intimate moments that you want to remember. And, because we had this time, before our wedding, Louis felt like a friend rather than just one of our vendors.

nting to see the reaction on my husband’s face as I walk down the aisle and he and Douglas managed to capture that as well as my walk down the aisle and the images are more perfect than I could have asked for. I also did a first look with my dad because my husband and I chose to do the traditional “first look” with my walk down the aisle. We discussed over the phone how exactly that would go and it was beyond perfect. Family pictures were fantastic, all the most important moments at the ceremony were captured as well as the reception. We are blown away. He even pulled us aside during the reception to take us outside because he found the perfect photo opportunity. Which means while we were all having fun inside he was walking around outside to try and go above and beyond. Those pictures are some of our favorites now. He was very attentive throughout the night. He caught on to certain”groups” of people we had at the wedding either a group of coworkers, a group of high school or college friends and we got nice group shots of all of them. I honestly could go on and on but I know I would run out of room. We seriously cannot believe how much we love our wedding photos and we owe it all to Louis and Douglas. I would recommend Schroder Photography to anyone for any occasion. We will probably use him again in the future for occasions we have down the road! Thank you Louis and Douglas!

to have an amazing photographer for our special day, and we were never worried once we booked, met, and worked with Louis. Louis was referred to me by a friend down in Maryland, and we did an engagement session with him about a year before our wedding (with our two dogs too). He made us feel so comfortable, understood our style, and captured amazing, natural, and artistic shots. Once we saw the engagement photos, we knew we had booked a winner for our wedding. Louis is always easy to communicate with, accessible, professional, on time, and reliable. He captured beautiful shots on our wedding day, we were just thrilled getting all of the amazing photos back. Louis was even able to capture some amazing, once in a lifetime shots with our two dogs at the wedding with us, family, friends, etc. We also had a very large bridal party 20 total, and Louis was able to coordinate great group shots and photos effortlessly, as well as amazing candids obviously. If you want a true professional with an amazing eye for capturing your beautiful moments on your special day.. look no further!!!

wedding to finalize all plans. Louis and his assistant, Alex, were not only on time, but they were early to arrive!!! Louis was so easy going, and his assistant Alex was fantastic too!! Louis and Alex took such great photos, ones we didn't even know they took!! I have been part of wedding where the photographer tried to steal the show, but Louis was the complete opposite!! I didn't even know he was there sometimes taking photos! They were so approachable and any photo you wanted, they took!! My mom has a big family so she wanted a photo of her and all of her cousins. Louis staged them all during the reception with chairs and height order!!! Truly amazing and great!!! Louis also had such a quick turn around, we got our photo LESS THAN A MONTH after our wedding!!! Truly amazing!! I plan on calling Louis when we have children to do our kid portraits, and any other family event or anything that needs a photographer in the future!! Louis was also very affordable, and allowed us to build our own package!! I can't say enough nice things about Schroder Photography!!! Thank you Louis and Alex!!! We truly love everything you did, and every photo!! We love you both!!!

the Washington, DC area. He made the long-distance planning process very easy and stress-free. From the beginning phone call with Louis, we knew we would love his work and his ability to not only do the planned pictures that are associated with weddings, but also capture the candid moments creatively -- and that is exactly what he did! We also did an engagement session with him, in which he did a great job incorporating our dog (who was also in the wedding ceremony) -- and it is evident he loves working with both people and animals. We also received comments from guests (and we agree!) that he somehow managed to stay so low profile that it was like we didn't even have a photographer there ((but he captured ALL of the most perfect pictures of the wedding and even photos of our guests)). We left for our honeymoon the day after our wedding and he sent us the picture preview link that day so that we could see some pictures before we left! Then, we received the full set of photos less than a month after our wedding -- his timeliness and professionalism was so very much appreciated. The pictures turned out so amazing that we are going to have a hard time of which ones to print and hang up in our house. We highly recommended Louis and we'll definitely recommend him to family/friends and use him again in the future for anytime we need professional pictures.
