Dave Moore Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,200
  • Serves Chesterfield, 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!

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 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.

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
I'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.

Visual storytelling is our jam, and creating photographs that really make you feel something is essential to us. We are based in St. Louis, MO and available for travel worldwide.

Awarded Best of Zola
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!

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.

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.

Ivory Grove was easy to get in contact with and were very quick to respond. Their work was overall pretty good. My photographer was very flexible and went out of her way to explore different areas for my photo shoot. Overall the service and pictures were great. My photographer was very kind and flexible. There were some photos where some bridal party members were cut off or the photos were taken from a bad angle and I also wished the pictures were brighter. I loved how I received all the raw photo images.
