I started my business after my mother had passed away from pancreatic cancer. She knew I could make a name for myself capturing people’s memories for them. And she was right! I absolutely love capturing your day, the raw emotions and candid shots, making your memories tangible for you to have forever!

K.M. Goodson Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with on our wedding day. From the very beginning, their communication style was relatable, relaxing, and fun - it felt like we were working with a close friend rather than a vendor. On the day of, the photographer not only captured every beautiful detail with incredible skill, but also went above and beyond to ensure I was taken care of. They checked in with me throughout the day to make sure I was happy, fed, and on schedule. It was like having a best friend there to make sure my wedding day went exactly as planned. I couldn't have asked for a better experience with any photographer. K.M. Goodson Photography truly made our special day unforgettable.

Dave Moore Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,200
  • Serves Belleville, IL

Here’s a small confession: I’m not very comfortable in front of a camera. Oh I can take a decent self-portrait, but once someone else is taking my photo, everything falls apart: where do my arms go? Does my stance look normal? And oh no, was that smile natural? So if that happens to you when the camera comes out, no worries! I know how you feel.

To say just a few words about Dave: You won’t find a gentler soul than this guy. From engagement to reception, he’s there to snag the serious and the silly. He has a way of making the camera shy feel right at home, while his quirky anecdotes will keep the extroverts engaged. At our reception, Dave was our anchor. He navigates events with ease, coordinating with other vendors in ways we didn’t expect. I am forever grateful that we made the choice to work with Dave, and would recommend him with enthusiasm to anyone seeking a wedding photographer!

The quality of her work is simply gorgeous - her compositions and use of color are stunning, and she provided great pose suggestions that resulted in beautiful, natural-looking photos.

I created Emily Novara Photography, LLC because I believe that capturing the best day of your life deserves the same attention to detail that you put into planning it. I love meeting my couples, hearing all about their love stories, getting to know them - like truly getting to know them (most of my brides consider me one of their friends!). My brides trust I understand their vision and are able to enjoy their wedding day because of the communication leading up to it.

Emily is seriously amazing! We had an instant connection of trust and I knew our photos would be perfect. She was there for me through my entire planning process and helped guide me on any changes we needed. For our engagement photos, it was pouring rain and she had a backup plan asap. She makes the photos feel natural and nothing forced. For our wedding day, it rained yet again and Emily took charge of our wedding day. She creates a timeline for you. She was like my day of coordinator too! She came prepared with everything and anything you need. She made sure the day flowed as smooth as possible. Our wedding wouldn’t have been what it was, without her! We love Emily!!

Best decision we could have made. Communication was wonderful from the start and the photos are amazing. I felt Hdi has a gift of photography and what will look great. From the little details they were on it. She made me feel like family. Mostly, her images are what we have left of our day and I’m so glad we went with Timeless Imagery. Don’t cut your hours short - so you don’t feel rushed. Best advice I could give.

I can't even begin to put into words how amazing Emily is. She has years of experience with wedding photography and it shows. I had never been a part of planning a wedding before so I felt very naive while planning my own wedding. Emily made herself very accessible and was there to answer any questions I had. She also handled everything day of to make sure we were on track and getting all of the pictures we wanted. She took control and delivered the most amazing pictures of our special day. She was friendly, professional and a lot of fun!

It's true what they say — when you know, you know. Something as special as that innate instinct to love and be loved by your person is art in itself. Keep the star-crossed feeling close with artfully directed storytelling photography designed to honor your love / your story / your wedding in all its authentic beauty. Let's hike a trail, drink cocktails on the roof, dance in a crowded street, let's capture your love for everything that it is. Let's do it all and make it as unforgettable as the moment you say, "I do!"

My wedding was a little atypical, we planned the entire thing in less than two months, had a crowd of 30 family members present, and had EVERYONE take an hour car trip into the National Park for our ceremony. The photographer who would capture all our wonderful memories was by far the most important vendor to me, so Lexi was the first person I booked! And thank goodness I did because I couldn’t have picked a more wonderful person to handle the uniqueness of our celebration than her. Lexi dealt with one date change, two location changes, and much more as my husband and I went through the decision making process in our short timeline. Lexi handled it all flawlessly, and showed up ready to help make our day special even in the middle of her own pregnancy! She traveled from states away, and made the Indiana Jones-esque drive into the mountains, to go above and beyond to shoot for us. Not only that but she got our preview out in less than 24 hours from the close of our reception, lightning speed! She was so kind and helped us feel comfortable and natural for two people who have never taken professional photos before. I would recommend anyone to Lexi for their wedding/elopement!

So who's the team behind the experience? Your Story is made up of 4 photographers, Jeremy + Melisa (owners of YS), Jason, and Emily. Together they quite simply love.capturing.the.moments.of.life. More than anything they enjoy the relationships they build with their wedding couples along the way. It's part of the reason why you see the hearts + souls of the people in their photographs. This is way more than a business to them, it's seeing inside the heart of their labor of love!

I found Your Story when I was looking for photographers who were happy to shoot smaller weddings. It was a very small wedding with only immediate family. This gave us even more time for couple photos and now we have so many beautiful shots in different environments. We worked with Jason and he was awesome and so easy to work with. Our pictures came back so fast and they look amazing. I highly recommend Your Story for your wedding big or small!

Tony did both our engagement and wedding photo (and our proposal! a surprise from my husband). I don't know if there's enough words to express how grateful we are that we decided to have him as our photographer. We felt heard the whole way through, he took note of what was important to us, he considered our inspiration pictures, he posed us so that we always looked great, and he kept the whole day feeling light and fun. His assistant photographer Bryson was also incredible. My husband and groomsmen were always laughing and it truly felt like we had hired family to be with us that day. You don't have to look further, Tony is worth every single penny!!! Our families can't stop talking about how good the pictures are.

Not only did Sollie capture our laid back personalities and informal wishes, but those of our dogs that of course we had to include too! We were able to chase sunlight and our photos are beyond everything I ever imagined! Our families and friends were thrilled with our photos we shared and said they captured our love and personalities perfectly.

Hello. I’m Michayla Slone, a wedding + lifestyle photographer based in St. Louis, MO. I love traveling, my husband, my pup Rosie, and good conversations over coffee. I believe love is the most important thing. It’s what fuels us to our future, keeps us going on the bad days, and travels with us throughout time. My greatest joy is capturing days where love is at the forefront; where two people commit to a life full of passion and adventure. My work is more than just photography. It’s capturing history - your history.

We hired Michayla as our wedding photographer and still can’t fully express how happy we are with her and her work for both our engagement shoot and wedding photography! We are NOT the most natural people to photograph but Michayla helped us feel so natural and at ease both during our engagement shoot and on our wedding day. When doing family pictures she was so on top of it and made it such an efficient process which only made the day better as nobody was grumpy about standing around taking photos forever. We loved how she captured the “in between moments”, they are truly the ones we will cherish the most because we get to remember those fun little details of the day. We also had a second photographer as part of our package who happened to be Michayla’s husband Logan and he was just as easy to work with and only made the experience better! If your wedding is coming up and you need a photographer inquire with Michayla, she is incredible!

I cannot express how thankful I am to have booked Kara for my wedding day! Kara not only produces absolutely stunning photos but she also helped us plan out the whole day by creating a timeline and made me feel so stress-free throughout the whole process. We decided not to get a wedding coordinator and I do not regret that decision because Kara was so helpful with coordinating and making recommendations. On the day of the wedding, Kara stuck to the schedule ensured that we did not get behind. I was worried that photos would take a long time in the June heat and that it would be a stressful part of the day for me, but with Kara it was fast and painless! I have since been in another wedding where the photographer was not organized and did not take charge to direct people in photos and it was a complete mess. As a result, the wedding party was over an hour late to the reception...I cannot recommend Kara enough! Her husband, Daniel, is a second photographer for the day and took photos of the groomsmen while Kara was with the bridesmaids before the first look. Kara and Daniel were both so great to work with. Choosing a photographer is such an important part of your wedding day and I promise that you will regret working with Kara!

I know it is the most incredible experience having everyone you love together in one place to celebrate you. Aside from the births of my babies, my wedding was the best day ever. But being a mom has made me appreciate photography the most — I know how fleeting time is and how important it is to have printed memories of those you love dearly. Tomorrow isn’t promised and I want to document you with your favorite people as they are today.

Words can't even begin to express our complete adoration, immense gratitude, and delight in working with Cassidy! We had originally booked her for our larger wedding that was postponed due to COVID-19 and she made the rebooking process so easy and reassured us during a very stressful time. We ended up moving forward with an intimate wedding on our original date and she was the first person we reached out to. She was an absolute dream and source of endless enthusiasm and support as we reimagined and redesigned our day. She totally got our vision and seamlessly integrated into the day to capture everything as it unfolded. She beautifully captured the emotion and joy between us and our families. We love that the photos have that "real life, but better" look that will help us preserve the feeling of the day rather than the stuffy look of traditional wedding photos. Our families can't stop raving about how gorgeous the images are. Cassidy, we love you and are so so appreciative to have had you work your magic! We will cherish these photos for a lifetime.

Hey hey! I'm Becca and I’m probably the most camera-shy person you’ll ever meet! I admit, becoming a photographer is an interesting choice for someone who isn’t good in front of the camera, but I believe this weakness is the exact reason why I’ve become a candid and authentic photographer. Since I would hate for anyone I work with to feel uncomfortable, I’ve perfected the art of making you forget all about the camera. You’ll get to know me on a personal level and working with me won’t feel like a business transaction – but rather like hanging out with a friend who happens to be really good at capturing you just the way you are.

We wanted someone that got what we were doing, and understood our personalities. We're laid back and fun-loving people but we still work hard and we hoped for great results from whoever we chose as a photographer. Rebecca was exactly that! Fun and easy-going, which led to GREAT candids, but also incredibly hard working, detail oriented, and diligent to get great photos despite very limited time. Because of this, we not only had those fantastic candid photos that were important to John and me, but we also had great formal shots with our families that were important to our parents and grandparents.

I’ve always been a romantic, a dreamer. From watching my favorite movie of all time (Titanic) to daydreaming about meeting Prince Charming in a trip across the sea (even if I have to travel back to the 18th century to meet a ruggedly handsome Scotsman *cough cough*- big Outlander fan here.). I’ve always been in love with love. Fortunately, I've been able to give all of my creative energy and love for the arts to my photography. I’ve been photographing people on one of the happiest days of their lives for nearly a decade now and I still can’t get enough.

Emily was AMAZING! I couldn’t have imagined our wedding day without her, she made our day such a breeze. Planning a wedding is so stressful, but our pictures were something I did not have to worry about. Her prep work reassured me she knew exactly what I wanted. Our pictures turned out incredible! Not only did she capture our day exactly how I imagined, having her by our side made me at ease. She kept to the timeline, she was efficient, and not to mention a blast to work with! I can’t say enough good things about Emily. If you are anything like me and worry yourself sick, book Emily because you will not worry one bit! She is such a breath of fresh air in the midst of a busy, chaotic day. And after it’s all said and done, you will end up with pictures of your wedding day that make you smile every time you glance at them! Couldn’t ask for anything more.

I work closely with each couple to create a timeline that lets you truly enjoy the day. My approach is simple: document genuine joy, not manufacture moments.

So if you're looking for a photographer who is not only professional but also fun and adventurous, then look no further. I'm here to capture all the laughter, tears, and unforgettable moments. Let's create some magic together!

Michelle from Michelle Jahns Photography was an absolute delight to work with for our wedding photos. She brought a fun, lively energy to the day and made the photo-taking process smooth and enjoyable. Michelle was highly participatory, collaborating with us to ensure we got all the shots on our wishlist, while also using her artistic eye to capture special candid moments. She even dressed to match our wedding theme - such a fun extra touch we appreciated! The quality of Michelle's work is fantastic and well worth the value. We'd enthusiastically recommend Michelle for your wedding or special event photography needs. Her communication, participation, and eye for capturing emotional moments will lead to photos you'll treasure for a lifetime.

Katie Forbis | St. Louis-based, available anywhere | What I love most about weddings are the people, the relationships, and the emotions - and that’s exactly what I strive to capture. I'm inspired by light, texture, emotion, movement, and shape. I lightly direct when needed, but when I do I keep it natural and easy. You won’t see me spending an excruciating amount of time posing people down to the inch. I shoot fluidly and I shoot a lot. My goal is to create beautiful images without over-stepping, over-directing, or wearing you out.

The beauty of Katie's photos speak for themselves--they are emotional, artistic, and eye-catching. But what you can't see in the photos is what an amazing person Katie is. She's exactly who you want to have around you on your wedding day. She is calm, easygoing, and confident, and her photos strike the perfect balance between artistic vision and candid spontaneity. It was amazing how she captured our day while still allowing us to be fully present with each other and our guests. We just can't recommend Vein&Vessel enough. - Nick and Norah

My passion is capturing the unique love stories of couples who are wildly in love and unafraid to be themselves. I love working with couples who find ways to incorporate their personalities into their wedding. Imaginative couples who are silly, free-spirited, kind, and playful. I aim for the dreamy, romantic, fairytale feeling from start to finish.

There are so many photographer options it gets very confusing quickly. Book an appointment with Brianna and immediately she will understand your vision and put your mind at ease. She loves what she does, and that shines thought in the amazing photos she is able to capture. She gets pictures that I didn't realize I needed! Her entire team is full of great people who are kind, caring, and want you to get the best pictures possible. She responds quickly to requests and always delivers more than she promises.

My wife and I met Catherine at a wedding show and we hit it off right off the bat. She and her assistant were super friendly and easy to talk to and we got along great. Leading up to the wedding day, she put together a timeline of the pictures and helped us get everything in order. Once the day came, she was super helpful and got amazing photos that’ll last a lifetime. She’s top notch and a great person to work with. We can’t wait to have a baby so she can capture those moments for us.

The way he posed us made us look like models and these were the photos that hadn't been edited. 10 out of 10 highly recommended.
