St. Louis wedding photographer Gara Lacy

Gara Elizabeth Lacy

"I grew up in the capital city of Missouri and attended Northwest Missouri State University to pursue a Bachelor's Degree in Fine Arts. There I acquired an attraction to organic materials and patterns which influenced my work. I moved to St. Charles, Missouri, where I attended Lindenwood University and earned my Master of Fine Arts Degree in Studio Art - furthering my skills in Photography and Painting. The photography gives me instant gratification while the process of painting teaches patience and that there is perfection in imperfection. Every day I look forward to memorable moments - I treasure them personally and try to capture them in a creative professional manner for my clients."

Exceptional!

Professional, great communication, personable and gorgeous photos at a great value! Guillermo and the photographer for my daughters big day, Gara, were exceptional. The attention to detail, lighting and capturing all the important moments were more than we could have asked for. And then...the park photos...EXCEPTIONAL! What a pleasure from day one of speaking all the way to receiving the photo gallery and reliving that amazing day all over again. Dream Light Art Photography is top notch. Best choice I could have made and a true pleasure to work with both Guillermo and Gara:)

Dream Photography Team!

I cannot recommend Guillermo and his highly talented team of photographers enough! Five out of five stars! 10/5 if I could! Rebecca and Gara photographed my October 6th wedding and bypassed my expectations further than I ever imagined possible! Each and every photograph of the hundreds was spectacular! I’m used to one of a bunch being worthwhile. Not here! You get ONE chance for your wedding photography. There’s no do-over! You won’t go wrong with this dream team!! ❤️

We Love Dream Light Art!

Dream Light Art was an absolute joy to work with! Gara's high positive energy was infectious, putting everyone at ease from the start. She took initiative throughout the day, effortlessly organizing shots and capturing candid moments we’ll cherish forever. The photos are stunning, beautifully capturing the emotions and atmosphere of our wedding. Guillermo even stopped by to be our second shooter for our ceremony and the back part of the reception! We love the edits Gara did and are obsessed with the lighting effects she chose. She captured everything from our biggest moments to our smallest details. If you’re looking for a photographer who’s proactive, energetic, and incredibly talented, Gara from Dream Light Art is the one!

They did fantastic. Very professional and easy to work with.

I chose Dream Light Art to photograph my Son's Wedding. They did fantastic. Very professional and easy to work with. I had some specific and non-negotiable terms and Guillermo and Gara were able to deliver on all accounts. 10 out of 10! I will rehire them when it is time for my Daughter's big day.

We are so glad we booked Dream Light Art

We are so glad we booked Dream Light Art to photograph our wedding day!! We could not recommend them enough! Gara shot our wedding, and her photos turned out better than we could have dreamed! Guillermo was so helpful during the booking process. Gara stayed in contact with me since the booking to make sure she got to know us, our vision for the big day! They provided us with so many beautiful photos I know we’ll cherish forever!

Recommend to anyone looking for the best people, value, and photography!

Guillermo and Gara were the easiest to communicate with and work with! From the first conversation we had, until the end of wedding day, Gara was with us 100% and was willing to do whatever we wanted. Guillermo has been nothing but helpful with the more complex questions also. Would recommend this company to anyone looking for the best people, best value, and best photographs! Thank you Dream Light Art !!

Had an excellent experience working with Guillermo and Gara

I had an excellent experience working with Guillermo and Gara. Gara shot my sister’s wedding a decade ago, and I was so happy she was available for mine in July! Despite that our wedding day was extremely hot (95? 100?…duh, STL in July), Gara took wonderful photos; my husband and I both expected that we’d look tired and sweaty in every shot. Somehow, we don’t! (Okay, there are a few, but the majority we look just fine!) I attribute 90% of this to Gara’s skill—she is intuitive and able to capture people at their best angles, and she is ready to hop in a car and go “off-location” for a 10-minute photo set. (It was a couple of blocks away, but still!) Plus, she takes a LOT of photos which leaves plenty of room for subjects (like me) to “ruin” a shot and still have a ton of nice ones to choose from. Gara did a bang-up job, and before the end of the wedding, we were happy to call her a friend and guest—not just “our photographer.” Guillermo promptly sent us a flash drive with all of our pictures, and he was extremely accommodating and communicative from the beginning, when we initially discussed hiring Dream Light. I had a really wonderful experience, and it was 100% worth the money. (They have competitive pricing, too.) Thank you, Guillermo! And, again, thank you so, so much for capturing our wedding, Gara!💖

Her work (Gara's) was so stunning!

We used Dream Light for our wedding and had Gara as our photographer. Even by herself, Gara was very quick and efficient with her time. She communicated everything she was doing and got so many different pictures in a 6 hour time frame. She’s amazing at staging photos so it does not look like a minute was missed. When we received our sneak peak, her work was so stunning, it made us anxious to see the rest of her work. Even if you don’t use Gara, I’d use Dream Light anyway, they’re just amazing!!

Gara and Guillermo are absolute jewels to work with!

Gara and Guillermo are absolute jewels to work with! They are so friendly and flexible based on what we wanted for our special day. Gara was amazing at taking our photos. She told us exactly how to pose which calmed my nerves down during our engagement session. She made us laugh and was just super easy to get along with! Guillermo is a very fast responder which is amazing and always answers my questions to the fullest extent. He made us feel as if he is there for us and made the experience feel personal to us. We felt heard in the process! I will always recommend Dream Light Art Photography to all my friends and family. They are absolutely fantastic at making memories through their photos.

Our images turned out amazing! Great quality!

Dream light was a great company to work with for our wedding. Starting from the beginning, Rebecca did a wonderful job shooting out engagement pictures and they came out nice. Guillermo was who we communicated most with for the planning of our wedding. We had to reschedule twice because of covid, but he was easy and flexible with doing so. Gara was the lead photographer for our wedding day and she was absolutely outstanding. She exceeding all expectations! She brought an assistant in addition to the second photographer. Gara was energetic, friendly, and assertive when needed but she never imposed and was never rude or demanding. She has wonderful ideas for pictures and poses and allowed everyone to have fun while doing it. She is a hard worker; laying on the ground for some shots, on her knees, up in a tree, in the bushes, whatever it took!!! Nora was the second photographer and she was also amazing. She was great at making the little ones look at the camera and smile or laugh. Great experience and Guillermo, who did the editing and color processing, did an incredible job and all of our images turned out amazing. Great quality!
