Introduction
My name is Jon Saucier (pronounced sō-shay). I live in St. Louis Missouri with my beautiful wife Nermina and daughter Lydia. If you follow my photography on Facebook you will know that Lydia is my favorite model. There is also a fair chance you will meet my wife Nermina during a shoot. She is typically by my side to help make you smile, hold lights and help corral kids during a session! In my free time I also have an obsession with rock climbing. I initially got into photography to take photos of all the wild destinations I was climbing at. I loved photography so much that starting a business was a natural progression.
I specialize in family, senior and wedding photography, but also love to shoot events and real estate. I mainly shoot in the St. Louis area, but am happy to travel to any destination you wish. Through this website I can provide professional prints, canvases and albums. I’m committed to providing you with a fantastic experience and great photographs at a reasonable price. Please contact me anytime to set up a time for a consultation and/or shoot. And thanks again for your business.
Your Experience
A wedding is a very important moment in your life and it’s my goal to ensure that you remember it fondly. I do my very best to ensure that I have thought out every detail of your wedding from top to bottom. I start this by visiting your venue and contacting officials before the big day. I want to make sure there aren’t going to be any surprises along the way. I always like to be in touch with the wedding planner or any other member of your team that is helping you with the planning. It is also imperative that we have a detailed shot list for the group portraits–don’t want to miss that important photo with grandma!
I will shoot your wedding with a Canon DSLR + Canon Speedlite and always have a back up camera with me just in case. I will also have a plethora of different lenses that will be used during the day as well. I usually keep odds and ends with me just in case you might need something too (needle and thread, I probably have it). My business is registered with the state of Missouri and I have Business Liability Insurance as well.
My Style
My approach to photography is more of a photojournalistic style. I use this style for most of my shoots. I would always rather my clients act natural and have fun. Photos are almost always better when they are shot “in the moment”. Of course you can’t get away from some posing here and there, especially for weddings. You can always count on me to come in with an action plan, but depending on the subject and situation that can easily go out the window. Your input is very important to me as well and is always taken in to consideration.
