Fantastic experience!

We loved everything about working with DreamLight Art! Our photos for both the engagement session and our wedding day are stunning and everyone was flexible with scheduling and responsive to communication. Emily was very organized and creative during our shoots and helpful with working through the wedding timeline, and attentive to our requests and details. We utilized 1 photographer for 10 hours on our wedding day at a very competitive rate but no sacrificing quality. The image processing was fantastic with about a 6 week turnaround from each shoot. We will definitely use them for future photo sessions and recommend to all in the St. Louis area.

Best Experience We Could Ask For

We worked with Guillermo and Emily for the entire process and were so happy with everything! Guillermo was super knowledgeable and helped us pick the photography package right for us. Emily was amazing as our day-of wedding photographer, she got some amazing shots at Lafayette Park, The Arch, and around the streets of Soulard. Plus, she had a super fast turn around getting the edited photos back to us. We would recommend this company to anyone hand down!

Wonderful Photos!

We booked Dream Light Art by Guillermo on the Knot - I was able to choose a photographer from the site and chose Emily Owens for our wedding day for 8 hours. We are overjoyed by the sheer amount of wonderful photos we received for the price. We received well over 600 photos. Each one was carefully chosen and touched up exactly how we imagined. Guillermo was able to listen to our vision and deliver exactly what we pictured in the edited photos. Emily did an amazing job capturing each moment alone by herself and she also helped to keep us on schedule. This was a tough job and she managed all by herself. We are so happy with how it turned out! And for the price, was absolutely a plus. Thank you Guillermo and Emily!

Dream Light Art Photography is Amazing!

Before you make a final decision on your wedding day photographer(s), take a second to look at the hundreds of 5-star reviews on Dream Light Art Photography... If that doesn't persuade you, I don't know what will! If there is one thing I could go back and thank myself for, it would be calling Guillermo and booking Dream Light Art to photograph our wedding. They worked with us for year and a half to plan each and every detail, involving both photos and timeline! Through the entire process, Guillermo and Emily were both patient, kind, and equally as excited for our wedding day as we were! Emily was the main photographer on our big day, while Guillermo served as a second photographer during our ceremony. They were both nothing short of creative, upbeat, and amazing. I would recommend Dream Light Art a million times over! When we received our wedding photos back, we were even more confident that we had chosen the right team. We are absolutely OBSESSED with the photos and cannot wait to hang them all over the house. You can tell they put countless hours of time, passion and detail in the photos. We are so happy with our choice to hire Dream Light Art. They are a truly talented team and an absolute dream to work with! 5/5 stars all day!

Emily was great at posing us and finding unique shots and flexible in rescheduling our engagement shoot due to weather. The image processing was great and our pictures look fantastic. We are even more excited for our wedding knowing we have a great team prepared to capture our special day!

Couldn't be happier with what we got

My husband and I worked with Emily and Guillermo for our wedding photography and couldn't be happier with what we got. All of our initial email interactions were very helpful and professional to help us figure out who we wanted to work with. We loved Emily's work and were so happy we chose her as our photos came out beautifully. We were very comfortable with the amount of communication and planning that was done in the months, weeks and days before the wedding and while the wedding was chaotic, Emily was an amazing asset to getting everyone where they needed to be for photos. She also worked out amazing locations and frames for beautiful photos. She is a true master of her craft. Once we got our photos, we loved they way they looked. The only criticism we had, we brought up with Guillermo who went above and beyond to make every detail perfect and what we wanted, which we appreciate immensely. Guillermo and Emily are both very talented and a pleasure to work with. Would recommend to every bride and groom, without a doubt.
