Below are a few comments from our clients:
![]() | Spectrum Band (St. Louis, MO)Do you know about Doug Palme? I do! If you happen to be a bride (or anyone else for that matter in need of a professional photographer) please do yourself a favor and continue to read this short paragraph. My background is that I’m the leader of the Spectrum Band and I’ve performed at 50 – 60 weddings and private events every year for the past 20 years. That means that I work with a lot of other vendors such as event planners, videographers, country club managers, photographers, etc., so I’ve pretty much seen the best (and the less than best) of just about every type of vendor in St. Louis. Doug and I crossed paths recently and I could immediately tell that I was working with someone special. I noticed that he has very high standards, is spontaneously creative, and is very serious about always excelling in his field. Have you seen his web site and his informative blogs? He is intent on delivering a product that is unique and at the top of the list relative to everyone else that provides similar services. He not only has a portfolio that convincingly demonstrates his talents but he also has the professional credentials that support receiving such a strong recommendation and commensurate credibility among the St. Louis wedding community. If you review vendors in St. Louis you will notice that I’m fortunate enough to be recommended by many of them. However, you will also notice that I do not subscribe to the practice of submitting a plethora of recommendations for other vendors. I don’t want to appear to be offering a recommendation to just anyone so I’m very selective about writing a review for any vendor. However, when the situation warrants making a strong recommendation then I’m more than happy to speak openly for anyone that deserves superior recognition. I’m also very particular about how my own band is portrayed and I was so impressed with my observations of Doug’s talent, I’ve trusted him to take the latest pictures of the band for use in all of our promotional material. The results are amazing and I couldn’t be more pleased with his talent and enthusiasm in supporting my needs. My advice is: Get to know Doug Palme! |
![]() | Violet Talley (Chicago, IL)As a professional photographer myself, I was thoroughly impressed with Doug’s professionalism, attention to detail, and most of all, his creativity. His ideas were unique, yet very elegant and captivating, and it all showed in all of his images. I highly recommend Doug Palme for your wedding photography!!! |
Karin Lamott (St. Anne, MO)I cannot express how blown away I was with my pictures and album, far better than I truly expected! Anyone who is looking for a photographer that listens and provides you with a personal touch far beyond your wildest imaginations I would strongly recommend Doug! | |
![]() | Jasmine-Miller Johnson (St. Louis, MO)Where do I start? The photos, the images, the candids were simply amazing, my album left me completely and totally speechless. There is no other photographer that I would recommend for a wedding, if you want someone who gets it done the first time, without muss or fuss, and does it professionally and provides the highest quality album, then Doug is the one to use! Thank you again Doug for providing us with a wonderful keepsake and a lifetime of memories! |
![]() | Nancy King (Bartonville, IL)We first met Doug at a horse show at Gordyville. He did a great job on those pictures so when it came time for my daughter’s senior pictures, he was our first choice. When we received our proof images, they exceeded all of our expectations. Doug is a talented professional photographer who made the whole experience a delight. |
![]() | Terri Walker (Springfield, IL)Doug did a great job on our Wedding. He took plenty of pictures and captured very unique moments. The Wedding Album was amazing. |
Annah Kaplan (Springfield, IL)Your pictures are simply stunning and your calm competency throughout the entire process made us feel so comfortable and confident that you weren’t missing a thing. As we look back on the wedding, there is not one significant aspect of our special day that you didn’t capture for us. You have a special knack of getting all the shots and doing it in a way that took nothing away from the intimacy we wanted to create and celebrate. | |
Amanda Jo Short (Peoria, IL)I could not have been more pleased with the results; the candids were absolutely fantastic! The fact that you were able to get a great shot of Beamer made the entire session worth it! Thank you… | |
Michael Haynes (Springfield, IL)Doug Palme has a wonderful ability to capture the essence of nature with his photography. I would highly Recommend him! | |
![]() | Dawn R. Weber (Peoria, IL)I love Doug’s photos, he focuses on the relationship between the child and her horse and not just portrait horse pictures. I felt he captured that moment with Zoe perfectly! |
![]() | Susan Haines (Pekin, IL)Doug is very professional; he did a great job capturing my daughter with her favorite pony Abi. Highly Recomend… |
![]() | Arianna Haines (Pekin, IL)I had a lot of fun shooting with Abi! |
