They made amazing creative pictures which will be cherished for many years to come. Reasonable pricing, excellent communication, amazing creativity and quality is what sets this studio apart from many other photography vendors. I am a wedding photographer myself and was at ease being a client that Metzger team would do phenomenal job. Pictures were delivered in a timely manner and everything was just perfect! Highly highly recommend Metzger studios!

From our first conversation with Scott, we knew we had found the right fit for our wedding day. He listened to what we wanted and communicated the photography timeline in a way that was easy to understand and stress-free. The photos are elegant, dynamic, and beautiful with a modern style that really captures the feeling of the moment. He focused on the emotion of the event and nailed the energy on the dance floor(those shots are some of our favorites). We'd recommend him without hesitation to any couple looking for a photographer who cares about doing it right.

We found Scott Metzger through his portfolio (via Zola) and immediately loved his creativity. His photos felt both professional and full of personality, which made him stand out to us — and we are so happy we chose him for our wedding. Throughout the entire process, Scott was communicative, responsive, professional, and easy to work with. From our first video call, he made us feel confident and comfortable, clearly explaining everything without ever being pushy. On the wedding day, he kept us smiling and laughing during the photoshoot, which made the experience feel natural and genuinely enjoyable. The preview photos he shared completely took our breath away, and our family and friends could not stop complimenting them. One thing we especially appreciated was how graciously he received feedback after the wedding. He truly listened, understood where we were coming from, and showed genuine care for us as clients. Scott is talented, trustworthy, and wonderful to collaborate with. We highly recommend him!

Scott was an amazing photographer for my wedding and my husband and I both highly recommend him! He made the whole experience feel relaxed for us, family, and friends, despite it being a busy day, while being able to capture all the important moments. He had such a wonderful artistic vision for all of the photos and we are so grateful that we had him as our wedding photographer!

My fiancé (now husband) and I learned about Scott and Metzger Studios from a family friend who highly recommended him as our wedding photographer. When looking at his work, we loved that his photos looked fun, natural, and professional. After chatting with Scott, we knew we had found the right person for us to capture our wedding day. From start to finish, Scott was great to work with! He was organized, professional, kind, energetic, and very open to feedback of what we wanted our wedding day photos to look and feel like. We had our engagement shoot with Scott as well, which I would highly recommend, and it allowed for us to establish a rapport with Scott prior to the big day. On our wedding day, Scott was able to capture every important moment, and even took our inspiration photos into account to make sure the photos fit our preference and style. I especially liked that Scott had a great balance of being present to capture the important moments, but also giving us time to be present in the moment and enjoy our day. After our wedding, we were truly surprised by how quickly Scott was able to give us our proofs and final photos! All of our friends and family have had nothing but wonderful things to say about how great the photos turned out, and we cannot stop looking at them. We also ordered an album through Scott, and his editing and layout of the album was incredible. I would highly recommend Scott and Metzger Studios for your wedding photography needs!

I am so happy we chose Scott as our wedding photographer. When I initially reached out, Scott was very responsive and well-priced. He made sure to know exactly what photos and locations we wanted. Day of wedding, he was prompt and professional. Scott is very creative (check out his blog) and took lots of photos that highlighted the uniqueness of our venue. Also, we are not very photogenic, but Scott directed us very well and the photos are very flattering. Overall, I couldn't be happier, and I highly recommend working with him.
