About
Hi, I’m Serg, a 14-year, wedding photographer based in St. Louis. I specialize in capturing weddings in a way that feels modern, cinematic, and true to your story — whether that’s light & airy, moody, or candid photojournalistic moments. The Instagram-worthiness of the photos is a bonus! Full wedding coverage starts $1800 and short wedding ceremonies at $800 (Weekday and off-season elopements may qualify for custom rates).
If you’re looking for a photographer who can blend art + storytelling, I’d love to connect.

Serg is an amazing photographer! I had a last minute need for a professional photographer as I realized it might be the last time my grown kids and I would be together for a long time. Serg responded promptly with references and examples of his work. He listened to my requests and my vision and then exceeded my expectations. He was professional and a pleasure to work with. He made the photo session, fun, valuable and meaningful. All of this was reflected in the quality of the photos I received. He captured me and my kids better than I could have imagined. I will be hiring Serg for all of my future photography needs!

We had an amazing experience with Sergius Paulus Photo for my daughter’s homecoming event, which involved 75 fifteen-year-olds - not an easy crowd to manage! Sergius handled it effortlessly and delivered absolutely awesome photos.
He is extremely talented, with a great eye for lighting, composition, and capturing genuine moments. What truly stood out was his professionalism, patience, and organization. He kept a large, energetic group engaged while making everyone feel comfortable, and it shows in the final images.
Sergius also delivered the photos in a very timely manner, which we really appreciated.
He has all the qualities you want in a photographer: - Professional and reliable - Excellent communication - Patient and great with large groups - Creative and detail-oriented - High-quality editing and fast turnaround
The photos perfectly captured the excitement of the night, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. If you need a photographer who can handle large groups and deliver beautiful images on time, Sergius Paulus Photo is an excellent choice. Highly recommend!

Sergius is fantastic! I used him as an onsite photographer for a project I worked on remotely. He was up for the job, extremely quick, he executed the vision we had for the project perfectly based on the moodboard we had given him. Couldn’t have gone smoother! Thank you Sergius!

We couldn’t be happier with our experience! From the very beginning, Sergius went above and beyond to make sure our engagement/proposal shoot was perfect. Before the big day, he took the time to walk me through every detail from location planning to how the moment would unfold, so everything went smoothly.
He arrived early, came prepared with multiple creative options, and genuinely cared about capturing the moment in the best way possible. His attention to detail and thoughtful direction made the entire experience feel natural and enjoyable.
The photos turned out amazing, even better than we imagined, and the turnaround time for delivery was incredibly fast. We also loved the Instagram collaboration he did, which beautifully highlighted key moments of our story.
If you’re looking for a photographer who truly invests in your vision and brings it to life with professionalism and heart, Sergius is the one to go with!
