St Louis Missouri luxury wedding photographer Britt DeZeeuw

Hello! I’m Britt. I’ve been photographing weddings for over 9 years. My photography aesthetic can be described as documentary with a blend of fine art.

Named one of the Best Wedding Photographers in the U.S. by Brides magazine in 2018.

When I’m not documenting love stories and eating cake on Saturday, you can find me in my garden, camping, or spending time on the lake. Slow Sunday mornings, listening to old records, while cooking breakfast with my family are my favorite.

My photography has been featured in many wedding publications including The Knot, Minnesota Bride, Central Minnesota Bride, Lake Bride Magazine, and Weddings North.

Wedding photography for couples who don’t want their wedding day to feel like a photoshoot.

Why working with me is different.

I photograph weddings with a relaxed, natural approach. I try my best to create a space that allows you to be fully present and do what makes you happy.

Every photo I take is thoughtful and artistic. Creating visual narratives of people, and life, and love- those honest, fleeting moments that piece together your wedding day. Stolen glances between you and your partner. Warm embraces with loved ones. The joy on your best friend’s face as you dance the night away together. Those are the moments that matter, and those are the moments I’ll capture.

Kind words from past clients.

  • "Just looked through the entire gallery - AMAZING!!! Brought back all the wonderful memories of our special day. I absolutely love every photo! You captured our day perfectly! Could not be happier, thank you so very much!! ”

    -Amanda and Kael

  • "We want to personally thank you for the absolutely beautiful moments that you captured on our wedding day. As we opened the files, we were blown away and I (Karah) was in tears. That’s something that every bride dreams of, opening the photos and saying, “Yep, these are perfect”. You are talented, and meticulous, and caring with your own work. It’s beyond evident and something we appreciate. You played a wonderful role in our big day and I’m so happy that our paths aligned! Thank you so much for celebrating with us and for the moments we will always hold dear."

    -Karah and Blake

    -Kayley and Jesse
