“I’ve been photographing weddings in the St. Louis area for over twenty-five years.
— Matthew Kauffmann, CPP · MDKauffmann Photography
My clients aren’t looking for the cheapest photographer on the list…
they want someone who shows up prepared, stays present, and delivers images they’ll still love in thirty years.
This quiz helps me understand what your day actually looks like so I can tell you honestly whether I’m the right fit.”
Common Questions
Is this a real estimate or just a lead-capture form?
It’s a real estimate. Your answers directly shape what gets sent back to you — this isn’t a form that feeds into a generic drip sequence. Matthew reviews every submission personally.
What’s MDKauffmann’s investment range for weddings?
Wedding commissions typically begin at $5,000 and range from there depending on coverage hours, engagement sessions, albums, and add-ons. The quiz helps clarify where your day naturally lands.
What is FlashPhotos?
FlashPhotos delivers professionally edited images directly to your guests’ phones during the reception — in real time. It’s not a slideshow or a photobooth; it’s a live gallery that updates as the night unfolds. It’s included with every MDK wedding commission.
Do you photograph weddings outside St. Louis and Metro East?
Yes — travel is available for destination and regional weddings. Let us know in the quiz notes or reach out directly if your wedding is outside the immediate area.
Today an Event. Tomorrow a Memory. Forever an Heirloom.
Still thinking? That's what the consultation is for.
Every MDKauffmann commission starts with a conversation — not a sales pitch. We talk about your day, your priorities, and what "forever" looks like for your family. If we're the right fit, you'll know. If we're not, I'll tell you honestly.
