About Stephanie & Peter Zettl
Your memory-keepers, hype team, and the people who make photos actually fun
Hi there! We’re Stephanie and Peter — creative partners in business and life, storytellers at heart, and firm believers that the best photos come from real connection (and maybe a little laughter).
We’ve photographed everything from backyard barbecues to high-end galas, cozy elopements to multi-day weddings across the globe — including a few wild adventures while living in Southeast Asia. (Ask us about Myanmar sometime!)
Our style? Clean, vibrant, emotionally rich — timeless images that still feel alive 50 years from now.
Our vibe? Laid-back but professional. Quirky, kind, and deeply dialed in to what makes you feel like the best version of yourself on camera.
Our secret? Years of technical expertise mixed with a genuine love for people and a warm, collaborative approach.
Between us, we’ve picked up awards like St. Louis Bride Photographer of the Year (twice!), multiple Top 10 Photographer of the Year nods from Missouri PPA, and national recognition from WPPI and WPJA. Our work has been featured in places like the Wall Street Journal, USA Today, and St. Louis Magazine.
But honestly? The real win is when you walk away saying, “That was actually fun. And I love these photos.”
We know photography is an investment — in your memories, your story, your legacy. And we’re honored every time someone invites us to be a part of that.
So if you’re looking for a team who knows their craft, cares deeply, and brings a little extra joy to the process? You’re in the right place.
Let’s create something beautiful together.
