Lover of all things photography. I have been a photographer for over 10 years and love what we do. I have an amazing team that helps me out. My husband also second shoots with me. I like to say you get two professionals for the price of one. I try to offer quality at a reasonable cost. I know photography can be daunting for some people and my goal is always to put people at ease.

I am so happy we chose our photographers. They were WONDERFUL to work with. Not only did we get great quality photos, but they booked 2 sessions for our engagement photos and with our daughters. They were very professional and added personal touches to our wedding day. I really felt appreciated and heard when they were taking pictures. If you are looking for a wonderful couple to take your pictures and really listen to your needs then you need to choose Timeless Imagery and Media.

I love working with down to earth couples who want to have a fun, memorable and glam wedding day! Most weddings typically have a tight budget & timeline so I work with both to help make your day as stress free as possible! I put the couple first with everything on their day to ensure we capture as much as possible so you have images you want to share with friends and family to reminisce over for the rest of your life!

When we first met with Emily about photographing our wedding, we knew from the get go that she was going to be our choice. She was confident and direct in everything she told us and that's exactly what we wanted. We wanted someone that would take charge and keep us on track. Obviously we knew our wedding day was going to be busy and our goal was to stay on time and make sure everyone knew what they needed to do. She made our day so much fun and stress free! My wife and I have and will continue to recommend her to everyone we know : )

We had Brooke as our engagement and wedding photographer for our wedding in 2023. We couldn’t have been happier with our experience. Brooke was professional, nice, and very caring. She made our wedding day smooth and easy! We didn’t have to worry about different poses or getting family together for pictures, she had it all handled. Our photos turned out amazing. I recommended her to my sister and she did her in April of 2024.

Courtney Lee Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves Valley Park, MO

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
Courtney is by far my favorite wedding photographer in the midwest region. She is the full package - low-key, relaxing to be around, friendly, and a brilliant creative genius. :) If you create the day, she is there to capture it in all of its glory: head down, behind the lens, sneaking all of those behind-the-scenes- moments you will hold dear. She is a skilled portrait photographer but doesn't forget the details. She is caring to her clients and fellow vendors. By the end of the day, you'll be asking for her number so you can go out for drinks next week. She is like the friend you've always known, yet she is able to keep her professionalism high all day. When you get your photos delivered... you'll know exactly what I mean! Hire her!!

Hiring Kara as my photographer was one of the best choices I made about my wedding day. She is incredibly organized, focused, and efficient, and that was evident from our very first meeting. Leading up to our day I had plenty to stress over, but I never once had to worry about photography because I knew Kara was on top of it. She created a detailed wedding timeline that my day of coordinators utilized as well as all of my other vendors. She knew all the spots and poses to get my dream wedding photos, and even helped my videographer to capture amazing footage as well. She is an extremely talented photographer and I would absolutely recommend her for anyone's wedding.

  • Serves Valley Park, MO

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.

As a wedding planner, I have the opportunity to work with some exceptional vendors and Cassidy is on this list! She is professional, kind and easy to work with on behalf of the clients and through the details and changes that come with wedding planning. On the day she is prompt, classy, discrete and confident in directing wedding party members to get the best shots. I look forward to working with Cassidy again and will continue to recommend her to my clients.

Hi, I'm Jaimie, a documentary-style photographer who captures your wedding day's real, unscripted moments. Planning your wedding should be a joy, not a stress. 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. I capture each wedding as a series of real, heartfelt experiences so that when you look back, you remember the fun + love, not the stress or staged prompts. I strive to create images that are not just seen but felt. I want your wedding photos to bring back nothing but happy memories of a day filled with celebration.

Jaimie was great to work with for our wedding! She is chill and friendly, putting us and our family at ease for all the photos. She helps guide you with different scenery and poses for photos but also encourages you to be yourself, which helps capture really natural moments. She was professional, on time, and even stayed late to get some extra pictures. It has been a great experience working with her and her style of photography! Her work is beautiful and like art!

Hi, I’m Bryson! A St. Louis, Missouri + Southern Illinois-based wedding, engagement, and portrait photographer and filmmaker for those couples who see the world with wide-eyed amazement, who value the artful nature of their unique stories, and who are always up for a little something new.

Bryson and his team were a joy to work with for our wedding photography. They showed up early and were ready to go, helping make the day run smoothly. Bryson has a knack for putting people at ease while bringing out their best smiles. He called my family and friends by their nicknames, making it feel lighthearted. The photos captured the emotion and special moments without feeling overly posed or cookie-cutter. Bryson went above and beyond to scout locations ahead of time and was open to suggestions that highlighted what made our wedding unique to us as a couple. The final album I have no doubt will tell the story of our wedding day in a creative, meaningful way that we will treasure. We highly recommend Bryson Buehrer Photography for couples who want stunning, artistic photos that authentically capture the spirit of their celebration.

They were out there on the dance floor enjoying the night and making sure every detail was captured. They have become people we can call our friends throughout our engagement, birth of our baby and our wedding day. Thanks so much!

Dave Moore Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,200
  • Serves Valley Park, MO

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!

If you need a reminder to stop trying to appease your forever disapproving great-aunt Barbara and DO YOU, you've come to the right place. As an elder emo, I know what it's like to feel like you don't quite fit the mold. When I first became a photographer, I felt like I had to put on a different persona to appeal to clients, but after I had two black-dress-wearing brides book me on the same day, I saw an opportunity to connect and serve people I identified closely with, and who I hoped would identify with me and my style. After all, what nonconformist wants a cookie-cutter photographer?

I worked with Heather at a wedding and she was very professional and fun! Her work is absolutely stunning and she is very sweet person. Highly recommend!

We can't say enough good things about Natasha and will be using her in the future for any family photos or personal photos that we may need!

Mirage Photo

  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves Valley Park, MO

We "Double Dog Dare" you to find a photographer that is more fun than us. Finding a cheap photographer is easy. Finding a great photographer is a little bit harder. Finding an awesome photographer that works within your budget but still gets you the $10K shot of the day... now that's hard. We want you to shop around and certainly take the time to talk to multiple photographers. We may not be the one and that's OK. After the party's over, the food is forgotten, the flower's fade, and the dress is cleaned and stored, you have your pictures. Why chance a $500 photographer with your memories?

I've been in the DJ business for over 25 years, and my DJ company Porta Party DJs has worked thousands of weddings. Mirage Photo consistently stands out head and shoulders above all other photography companies for three simple reasons: 1. They are fun 2. They are professional 3. They provide an incredible product. Many photographers are notorious for being too pushy/controlling when trying to get photos done. Although there sometimes can be a need for that, Mirage Photo earns the respect of their clients (and wedding party) up front so there's no need for lots of drama and stress. Their easy-going attitude and fun demeanor are why we always recommend Mirage Photo any and all of our clients who are looking for a professional photographer. If they are available and within your budget, you need to book them ASAP.
