Dave Moore Photography 

5.0

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

Hang around a photographer long enough, and the phrase “rule of thirds” will probably come up. The idea is to keep your subject away from the center of the frame to create more visual interest, and in a way, that’s how I approach all my photo sessions: keeping things ever so left of center. If you need a photographer who can capture the warmth and love (or kooky energy!) of your family, or who’s willing to climb or crawl on and over just about anything to capture that perfect shot on your wedding day, or who can create engagement photos that show you being swept off your feet and into the blue sky above, I’m happy to oblige.

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!

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!

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 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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Emily Novara Photography provided excellent communication through the entire engagement, wedding planning, and day-of process. Emily even provided a detailed day-of itinerary and revised it as needed as we got closer to the wedding. The quality of their work and overall experience was amazing. Emily is so friendly and we felt so comfortable from the minute we met her. She did an incredible job on the wedding day, arriving early and not only taking amazing photographs and poses, but also keeping us organized and on track the entire day, which was crucial with a party of 20 adults. Emily went above and beyond in every aspect of being our photographer for the wedding day, and I can't picture our wedding day without her. We look forward to having her as our go-to photographer for any future events!

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!

Awarded Best of Zola
We were terribly disappointed when COVID caused us to cancel our 200 person wedding. In the midst of terrible uncertainty (remember those very early days of the pandemic?!) we planned a micro-wedding with just our parents as witnesses. Every bride dreams of her wedding day, and all of the special moments that go with it. We are so incredibly fortunate and thankful that Emily captured every single one. From the detail shots, to the getting ready images - despite our big day looking nothing like we'd originally planned - Emily documented the experience beautifully. After the ceremony, we headed off to key Kansas City landmarks where Emily took the time to pose and primp us so we looked our absolute best. The photos turned out so wonderfully, we got extra large prints that we proudly display in our hearth room. For couples looking for someone who will effortlessly capture the candid moments, and pay close attention to all of the details for those classic posed portraits, Emily Owens Photography is absolutely the right choice!

I have been a wedding photographer since 2011 & love being a part of my couple's lives. I enjoy getting to know clients on a personal level so I can really document who they are as people & as a couple. I am one of those people who rarely meets a stranger & love becoming friends with new people wherever I go. On a personal level, I have the cutest mini Aussie who is my pride & joy! I am close with my family & have some of the most wonderful friends.

Brooke did an absolutely amazing job! We did an engagement photoshoot with her months before our wedding date and it was very helpful in getting to know each other and how we work together, made the wedding day so much smoother! It is very obvious she has lots of experience in the wedding industry and is very professional. She did a great job at coming up with different poses and some of her ideas became my favorite photos. Wedding are stressful enough, but I never had to worry about my photos because I knew Brooke had it handled! Definitely recommend.

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.

We had the pleasure of working with Heidi for our wedding, and we couldn’t have been happier with our choice. From the initial consultation to the big day itself, Heidi was professional, personable, and incredibly talented. She captured every special moment with such an artistic eye and attention to detail. The way she managed to blend into the background while still getting those perfect candid shots was amazing. Our wedding album is a treasure trove of memories, beautifully edited and filled with shots that truly reflect the emotions and joy of the day. We especially loved how she made us feel comfortable and at ease in front of the camera, which is no small feat. Her patience and creativity really shone through, and we are beyond grateful for the stunning photos that we will cherish forever. We highly recommend to anyone looking for a wedding photographer who can deliver both exceptional service and breathtaking photos. Thank you for making our day even more memorable!

Lexi Harrington Photography

  • Classic style

  • Serves Alorton, IL

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!

Jeremy & Melisa are TOP NOTCH. We highly, highly, highly recommend. Not only are our photos stunning (like seriously, we cannot stop looking at them) the customer service offered was incredible. They were easy to contact, quick to reply, readily accessible, incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. Our wedding package included engagement photos, which were equally as beautiful. Finding a wedding photographer that we 'clicked with' was the most difficult part of wedding planning for me - until I had my first phone call with Jeremy. I instantly felt comfortable, like I was talking to a friend. I'm trying to figure out what other events we could get photographed so we can see them again, lol (but seriously). HIRE THIS COMPANY! You will not be disappointed.

We had complete trust in Tony to choose and surprise us on the final location the day of - and Tony did not disappoint! Tony discovered a mountain top view that only locals really knew about. To say he went above and beyond is an understatement. The day of the wedding he both of us feel so at home and comfortable with everything that was going on that it all just felt easy, natural and effortless. Tony single handedly provided us with an unforgettable day, an amazing wedding video, quality photos that were ready in a timely manner.

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.

My 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 don’t plan on changing that. She is amazing.

Remembering our wedding gives me so much peace and joy. It's the most bright memory I have and it contrasts starkly against the darkness of this pandemic. It's so important to me and now, with a wedding video shot and edited by Courtney Lee Photography, I'll never forget it. What a gift, thank you! I have to admit, I've watched our wedding video over 50 times. I swear I'm not insane; Courtney and Sam just did that fantastic of a job.

Let's just say that Kara is exactly the type of person you want by your side on wedding day (and throughout the wedding planning process)! My new husband and I got to know Kara & Daniel very well, as we were a Covid couple and had to postpone our wedding for a year. From the moment I met with Kara through our wedding album, I can say with confidence: she is extremely organized, superb with communication, an incredibly talented photographer & goes above and beyond as your right-hand-woman on wedding day. Definitely do your engagement session with Kara & Daniel - our engagement photos were stunning and perfect to use for save the dates, invites, & wedding day decor. When Covid hit, Kara was super supportive and empathetic. She allowed me to lean on her to talk through the rescheduling process. When we picked back up a year later, it was like we hadn't missed a beat. She is SO helpful in creating a day-of timeline and communicating with vendors. She also diligently kept an eye on the weather & covid protocols and developed plans B, C, D, etc. for anything that popped up. Kara was always there to reassure us that everything would be amazing! And, it most certainly was. On the wedding day, everything was flawless. My new husband and I literally floated through the day. We sat back and watched the events unfold knowing that Kara was there to capture all the special moments. The bulk of photos we took before the wedding/reception and we finished earlier than expected because Kara & Daniel had everything ready to go (as well as umbrellas & several weather apps to be sure we wouldn't get stuck in a summer storm). During the wedding is where Kara really exceeded any expectation I had for a photographer - she just stepped in and helped me in every way. She held my train, changed my shoes, worked with our planner & DJ, played interference when I was swarmed by guests, and calmed my nerves when I got anxious. She is so enthusiastic and kind, but on wedding day she got down to business! That's exactly what you want when you're corralling family & rowdy guests. Oh, and the photos? They are jaw-droppingly gorgeous! We look like celebrities and the quality of her photographs are extraordinary. Thank you Kara & Daniel for everything over these past two years - we'll be forever grateful we had you by our side through the whole process & there to ensure we had (& will remember!) our best day ever!

St. Louis based but always ready to pack a bag and find my way to you! I’m a wedding and portrait photographer lucky enough to have been doing what I do for 10 years now. I feel so lucky each and every day. It’s a big responsibility and I don’t take it for granted for a single second. Beautiful imagery built on a foundation of trust is my ultimate goal as your photographer.

Picking a photographer is such an important decision for your wedding and if you're anything like me, you're going to do your research and compare value and quality to the other companies out there. Trust me when I say there is no other company that I would put my trust in to get the perfect shots every time. Brendan Batchelor Photography continues to exceed our expectations. What started as our engagement/wedding photographer has since turned into my growing family's photographer for life. From family shoots to important events, Brendan consistently delivers beautiful pictures that highlight the best parts of our special events. With Brendan, we were truly able to "stay in the moment" on our special day because of how comfortable Brendan made us feel. He makes you feel relaxed, confident, and natural. We completely trusted him with our photos on our wedding day because his work just can't be beat. His attention to detail and consistency are just some of the things that set him apart. His turn around time for all of the images you receive is also so impressive and he makes it so easy to print and share your pictures. Brendan knows is art so well and pours his heart into his work, making even the smallest moments of the day feel special. He is always prepared and always thinking outside of the box. He even had extra hair pins for me on our wedding day to perfect my hair as the day went on. Upon meeting him, you'll see his kindness and genuine personality which makes him even more of a clear choice. I simply cannot over recommend this company enough!!

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.

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. 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!

Kenessey Studios is a mid to high end wedding & portrait photographer based in St. Louis MO. We have been working in the St. Louis area for several years now and really enjoy the people and venues in the area. Our style of shooting is a mixture of candid and posed shots that I think covers the bases for a large percentage of clients.

Shawn took our wedding photos last summer and he did a beautiful job. We felt so lucky to have a photographer who not only prepared us for what to expect but also put us at ease throughout the day. He gave us a ton of creative ideas for photos and was so patient with everyone. He made both our families feel comfortable in front of the camera and that is saying a lot! But what we really loved was how amazing the photos turned out. We were completely wowed at the quality of the photos - he caught everything we wanted and so much more. They are a beautiful reminder of love we felt on our wedding day.

Hi, I'm Lisa, fine art wedding & portrait photographer. A Saint Louis native, a proud mom of two beautiful girls and an avid traveler. Someone who just loves love! I enjoy love stories and shooting weddings here in Saint Louis and everywhere.

Lisa has such a positive, friendly and fun personality. Our whole wedding party and our families would agree that it was enjoyable to spend time with her throughout the entire day/weekend of events. She kept the timeline moving smoothly and captured all of our details and moments. I'm thankful that we have these images to hold onto the memories. Her style is high-quality and authentic, and we are so grateful to her for documenting our special day!

  • Serves Alorton, IL

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.

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
