  • Fine art style

Hello! I'm Cassandra and my journey into the world of weddings was ignited when I embarked on planning my very own special day. This experience kindled a deep passion for weddings, and it's one of the driving forces behind my profession. I'm wholeheartedly committed to ensuring that each of my couples has their precious moments meticulously captured, preserving memories that will endure for years to come. My purpose is to authentically narrate your unique love story, exactly as it unfolds.

My husband and I can't sing our praises enough for Cassandra! From beginning to end working with her was a dream. We instantly clicked with her when we had our consultation and we knew we had to have her apart of our day. When we had our engagement session that assured us that we chose the right photographer for our day. The images we received from our session were just beautiful and really captured our love for one another. Everything leading up to our wedding was wonderful and she was extremely helpful as we ran into some hiccups with other vendors and she was there to help us find someone just as amazing. The day of our wedding was better than we could have dreamed. Our vendor team was amazing, Cassandra took care of everything and some, she keep us on our timeline, made the day so enjoyable but also took charge so I wouldn't be stressed out. She is so talented and not only an amazing photographer, but a life long friend now. Thank you so much for giving us photos to cherish for the rest of our lives and giving us the most wonderful experience. We love you!

Mist Photography

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Brighton, IL

Photography is something I am passionate about because of the trials I have faced in my life. I am a self-made photographer + I love what I do with my whole heart and soul. When I was a senior in high school I lost two of my best friends. Now, any photo I have with those sweet friends are so sentimental to me. The bible verse James 4:14 says, “For you do not know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a Mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes.” So live your life with purpose, laughter, follow your passions, and strive to love like Jesus each day, because your life is simply a mist in this world.

Rachael is our all-time photographer and she blows me away every time we have a session with her! Our engagement and wedding photos were flawless and she was a dream to work with! She makes a bride and groom feel comfortable and captures every detail. I can’t recommend Mist Photography enough!

Kelli Morrell Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,600
  • Serves Brighton, IL

Hello friend! Thank you for visiting my profile, and congrats on your engagement. When you hire me, you get a hype girl, a professional, a friend, and a person who is obsessed with photographing beautiful relationships. I'm inspired by those couples who don't take themselves too seriously. They prefer authenticity over perfection and trust that I will photograph their story in a way that truly represents who they are. After 3 years of photographing weddings, I can offer valuable guidance leading up to your wedding, cheer you on day of, and deliver stunning images to help you relive your wedding day again and again.

I have nothing but wonderful things to say about our experience with Kelli as our photographer. We unfortunately had to postpone our ceremony, so our wedding day was about 18 months past when we initially met Kelli for our engagement shoot. The time gap did make me uneasy as I was concerned would everything come as naturally as it did the first time we met- but I would say the wedding day felt even more comfortable! Kelli made an effort to reach out multiple times leading up to the day over the phone/email to make sure we were on the same page. With each conversation, Kelli made us feel completely heard, she was friendly and open to any requests we may have had, and made excellent suggestions for us to implement prior to the wedding day so the day would run smoother. I was very excited to work with Kelli on our wedding day, but I could have never expected what a large part of the day she would play. Kelli not only took beautiful photos that flattered all members of our wedding party, but also played the role of scheduler, hype woman, nervousness soother- she was perfectly assertive and comforting in every setting. I am endlessly thankful for her presence throughout our day and would recommend her to any couple over and over again!

  • Serves Brighton, IL

I’m Megan Thompson, and I am the gal behind the camera at Meganography! I’ve always had a passion for photography, ever since I was a wee little one! When I was approx. 4 years old, my Grandma would let me use her camera to take pictures of my dolls (lol)! I've owned Meganography since 2016, and I've been photographing love since 2017. As you can tell, I LOVE to travel! Please ask about my "wedding bucket list location" list, occasionally I offer discounts in those locations. I also am in love with any and all cats of the world, sunshine, wearing sweatpants/leggings, and Starbucks pink drinks! My goal is to capture your love in every image.

Megan and Dom were so excellent. They arrived and got to work! They went above and beyond to make sure our day went smoothly. I am in love with all the candid shots that were captured. I am so happy I found Megan on Facebook earlier this year. The communication was great; I knew exactly what to expect before, the day of, and after when waiting for the photos and video. I highly recommend Meganography to capture your special day.

I believe your wedding day should look exactly how YOU want it. It should be as unique and fun as you are. If that means celebrating miles into the beautiful Ozark Mountains, floating by kayak or canoe on the most scenic riverways of Missouri or from the belly of the Earth in the most beautiful cave America has to offer, I would love to help you create the BEST Adventure of your lives. Whether you want to invite your closest family and friends or celebrate with the two of you. I believe love is love and it comes in many great and true forms. I'll be your Hype Girl, Map Reader, Chaos Coordinator, Photographer and Friend.

Lindsey is such an easy going fun person to be around. She is a great vendor to work with and has the experience to back it up. She loves her job and will undoubtedly make your photos something to love for generations. You would be hard pressed to find someone who more all in on your wedding day.
