Despite the rain pouring down, the team was able to quickly find alternative locations for our photos and did a wonderful job of calming my nerves and reassuring me. Ashley even went above and beyond by contacting our venue to schedule a free photoshoot on a sunny day so we could capture the outdoor wedding photos we had originally envisioned. I am not usually confident in front of the camera, but Ashley and her team made my husband and I feel so comfortable, guiding us into flattering poses that highlighted our connection. The quality of their work was truly detailed, encouraging, and honest - we are thrilled with how the photos turned out and feel they captured the joy and beauty of our special day perfectly. I would highly recommend Ashley's Portrait Co. to any couple looking for a talented, caring, and professional photography team.โ€

  • Classic style

  • Serves Gillespie, IL

It's true what they say โ€” 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!"

โ€œMy 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 couldnโ€™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!โ€

โ€œTony 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.

Heyo! I am a lady (she/her) that adores photography. I describe my style as eclectic classic. I absolutely cover the basics, but add in a lot of fun and creative shots too. I am based out of Central Southern Illinois, but I am willing to travel to any location.

โ€œMy wedding photos were the perfect depiction of my wedding day. I felt confident and you can tell him the pictures. I had told Sollie that I was self-conscious about how I looked at times. Sollie was conscientious of angles and trying to get pictures she thought look good as well as getting photos that were important to me. She included my family and got shots that were not necessarily planned, but turned out perfect. I have now used her for all of my family photos and photos of my children ever since and donโ€™t plan on changing that. She is amazing.โ€

  • Serves Gillespie, IL

My name is Courtney and I am a wedding and portrait photographer based in the midwest of the United States and available for work worldwide. My inspirations and approach to my work are largely influenced by my studies in filmmaking, my deep appreciation for the nostalgic, my curiosity for nuance, and my strong personal relationship with love and friendship.

Awarded Best of Zola
โ€œI've hired Courtney twice now for documenting my family and both times she was able to capture the essence of our family in such a calm, playful, beautiful way. She somehow brings out our most authentic selves and I'm forever grateful to have these photos of my kids growing up with me in the photos too! She captures the tiny ways I connect with my kids that I'm already nostalgic for. Like the way my baby crawled up the stairs and I followed closely behind. As parents we must follow them up the stairs 10000x times so it's mundane but the fact that she even thought to get low to his perspective and photograph it means I forever have this beautiful photo of what being a mother looked like. And then the next time the kids were older and she was able to both maintain a calming energy AND work with their hyper energy. I love the way she sees the world. Can't wait to hire her again.โ€

Hello. Iโ€™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. Itโ€™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. Itโ€™s capturing history - your history.

โ€œWe hired Michayla as our wedding photographer and still canโ€™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 โ€œin between momentsโ€, 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 Michaylaโ€™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!โ€

Iโ€™m so glad youโ€™re here! I have 14 years of experience capturing special memories. Being part of such important moments in peopleโ€™s lives is an honor I never take for granted. Most couples arenโ€™t totally comfortable being photographed. And thatโ€™s okay! I use interactive posing and natural prompts to help you laugh, relax, and feel like yourselves.

From helping you plan your timeline to offering vendor recommendations, Iโ€™ll be with you every step of the way!

โ€œWe cannot recommend Sarah enough! From start to finish, she was absolutely incredible. First of all, she made us feel like models throughout the entire day. We were blown away by how she captured our most candid, romantic moments with such artistry. Even though we were both a little nervous in front of the camera, she had an amazing ability to make us feel comfortable and confident. But here's the real magic: the weather wasnโ€™t exactly on our side. The day was hot, humid, and rainyโ€”but Sarah was a true trooper. Not only did she continue working in the rain without skipping a beat, but she turned what couldโ€™ve been a disaster into an unforgettable moment. She even caught the most stunning rainbow right after the storm passed, and the portrait she took of us under it was absolutely breathtaking. Itโ€™s the kind of shot youโ€™ll cherish forever! We are so grateful for Sarah's patience, positivity, and talent. Every time we look at our photos, we're reminded of how lucky we were to have them as part of our special day. If you're looking for a photographer who can go above and beyond while making you look like you just stepped out of a magazine, look no further than Sarah Oberheim!

My name is Erik, I live in Cottleville Missouri with my wife and baby girl Lilly. I have been in the wedding industry since 2018 and have captured countless weddings. I really enjoy being there to capture the most important day of people's lives. The reactions when I deliver their photos is priceless.

โ€œI cannot say enough words that would describe how thankful I am for Erik! From his welcoming and personable self while meeting at a bridal show, to our engagement session x 2, and our wedding day, Erik was nothing short of AMAZING! We took full advantage of Erikโ€™s โ€œno time limitโ€ that he offers with his photography packages! Our wedding โ€œprepโ€ started the night before at our Welcome Party and continue through our New Yearโ€™s Eve wedding until 2am the following morning, and Erik was there for every moment! We also used Apex Studios for our videography, and the communication that Erik had with his 3 assistants ( 2 photo and 2 video) was phenomenal (my wedding planner commented on the communication, as well). Each and every detail that I could ever want is capture in a photo which I am so eternally grateful for! Thank you Erik for your welcoming, heartfelt, and kind self that made my wedding day more than I could have ever imagine! Iโ€™m so thankful for ALL that you did and will continuously recommend you to anyone that is looking for a photographer and/or videographer.โ€
