  • Serves Cordova, IL

Hi, I'm Jess, and I run Jessica Smith Visual Arts, a professional photography business in the Quad-Cities area! I specialize in many forms of photography that is tailored to you and your theme with top notch quality!

When we were looking for a photographer we were struggling so much to find someone that wouldnt break the bank, but wouldn't deliver crappy pictures either. When we found Jessica Boone Visual Arts, we were so excited to get such a reasonable price. I got even more excited when I spoke with her, because I am telling you, it was some of the best customer service I have ever had. Always willing to answer questions or make time for me whenever I needed whether it was a phone call or email. Jessica Boone did our engagement and our wedding photos. I was absolutely blown away with not only how the pictures turned out but also how patient, helpful, and fun she was!! After seeing only a few of our engagement photos, I knew I needed her for our big day. Jessica worked with me and made sure everything was perfect! (She and her assistant even helped with my dress SEVERAL times throughout the day! Oh, and fixing my husbands crooked bowtie.) All of our guests keep commenting on how jaw-droppingly beautiful our winter wedding photos are. I truly believe Jessica Boone is one of the most creative and talented photographers in the area! She will work with you on your dream photos... whether it's location, style, or simply being great in front of the camera. Thank you again Jessica for the most beautiful photos I get to enjoy forever. We would rate you 100 on a scale of 1-5, seriously.

Your wedding means much more to us then taking pictures, we're all in on your marriage. When you say “I do” it’s your first act of commitment to each other. Every part of your day is surrounded by those you love and acts in support of marriage. Marriage is much more than butterflies, it’s intentionality. Intentionally fun, intentionally beautiful, intentionally choosing each other through the good times and the bad times. I want to capture your love that you will continue to choose over and over, and the pictures are the greatest piece that you’ll revisit over and over to bring you back to all the emotions of your day!

We cannot say enough good things about Keel and Co! We originally chose Trisha to capture our engagement photos because she had a reputation for being great with dogs, and we planned to have ours included. We were not disappointed! She was so great with getting and keeping their attention. A bonus was that she helped me coordinate our outfits for the best look. As the wedding got closer, Trisha was great at keeping us on track with photo lists and planning. She worked so well with our coordinator, and together, and they made sure we had plenty of time to get any and all photos we wanted. Trisha's husband, Josh, is her second shooter, and working with the two of them was so fun! They brought so much energy and calmed the chaos when needed. Our family was impressed with their organization, and our bridal party said it was some of the most fun they've had taking wedding photos. We've gotten half of our photos back so far and are completely over the moon as we wait for the rest. Trisha is truly amazing, as I continue to tell any and all of our friends. We can't recommend Keel and Co enough!

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

Awarded Best of Zola
We loved Isaac and his wife, Jing, who photographed our wedding earlier this month. Isaac was super calm and collected and on top of everything. His photography style was perfect for us. He already delivered about half of our retouched photos a week after the wedding which was insane and I love every single one. He was flexible with the 5 flower girls we had in and out of pictures and the multiple areas on our venue property. Overall an amazing experience and I recommend his work to anyone and everyone looking. He was very considerate when I first reached out about his work and wanted to use him and was very mindful of his travel fees to fit in our budget.

They were able to capture all of the milestones during the day and were even willing to hop on our party bus when we wanted footage of the wedding party driving around! We were so impressed by how quick the photos were delivered! We received a text while on our honeymoon the week after our wedding that our edited photos were done and one week later we received all our pictures!

When you elope in the middle of a pandemic, it matters all the more that you love your photographer--since they'll be the only other person at your wedding. :) And in short, we couldn't be happier that ours was Shawnee. She has such a gift and a love for the work she does—and it shows. We knew she was the right person from the moment we met on Zoom--she is warm and kind, asked all the right questions, and instantly put us at ease. My partner and I eloped at the end of October 2020 in DC, just before the election. It was a whirlwind moment for so many reasons, especially as a queer couple. And it mattered to us that the person who captured those treasured memories, really understood what that moment meant to us. Everyone who sees our photos marvels at how wonderful they are—and no doubt we look great, but Shawnee’s warmth and direction and stellar eye really made all the difference. Vibing with your photographer matters—we’re so grateful to have found one with such grace and as much love for her art as Shawnee. <3

I’m Alyssa. You can call me Lys. (It rhymes with Kiss) ☺ I'm a photographer based in Des Moines, Iowa. I travel often. Couples, elopements, and small weddings are my speciality. My style leans documentary, timeless, and sincere, with some avant-garde editorial vibes, artsy influences, and good old fashioned weirdness mixed in. I love color, flash, film, and all things non-traditional. I got my start in music photography, which greatly informs my shooting style, and have been documenting Iowa's music scene and touring with bands for over 10 years!

I'm a micro-wedding venue owner and I recently hosted a gorgeous LGBTQ+ styled shoot. From beginning to end Alyssa was a pleasure to work with. She initiated correspondence - including overall vision, clear expectation, and a comprehensive schedule for all vendors. Her ability to pull a vision together and pay attention to detail are equally strong. She had the ability to manage a project while simultaneously making all vendors and models feel comfortable. She excels at bringing out the most of her models & left the venue in great condition. I will not hesitate to work with Alyssa again - She's an absolute pleasure!

Hey there! Since you are trusting me to capture these special moments in your life, I figured you should probably know a bit about me, right? I am a Huntsville, Alabama native, but moved to Nashville after graduating from the University of Alabama in 2013. ROLL TIDE! Although I consider Nashville home, I am anything but a homebody. I love traveling and exploring new places (especially the food at those places!). I even studied abroad in Italy, which let me tell you, was a food lover's dream. I have always felt like an old soul trapped in a millennial’s body. I would rather listen to Frank Sinatra than anything on the radio today.

Diana Marie Photography was an absolute joy to work with for our wedding day. From the very beginning, Diana's communication style was open, professional, and timely - she was always checking in to make sure our day was going as we had imagined. The quality of her work is truly exceptional, with a clean, timeless, and emotional style that captured all the special moments beautifully. Diana knows the importance behind wedding photos - they aren't just a social media dump, but rather the memories we'll cherish for years to come. She reminded us to take in the little things, and that thoughtfulness really shines through in the final product. We couldn't recommend Diana Marie Photography enough for any couple looking for a talented, dedicated photographer to document their big day.

Local to Colorado & native to Indiana I'm a photographer dedicated to helping couples bring their wedding vision to life. I believe that your love story is anything but boring, and your photos should reflect that. With 8 years of experience, I’ve captured clients through fun prompts and welcoming energy. I’m not gonna lie I’m a strong believer in truly connecting with my client. Yes I send ‘<3’ in my emails. Yes I’d love to fan girl over your wedding deets with you! Mimosas? Coffee? I’m down

My fiancé and I had been doing all this research to find a photographer and our wedding was fast approaching. It was March and our wedding is in July. We came across Sara, found out that she would be moving to Colorado and was actually in Colorado until Friday morning (it was Wednesday night). We have a wonderful phone call just getting to know her and her business and decided to book her the next day. She worked promptly to make time to shoot our engagement photos even though it was her boyfriend’s mom’s birthday. We just got the photos the other day and they are stunning. They capture our hearts, emotion, and beauty! So glad that we booked Sara for our wedding day! We know her photography will be amazing!! She is fun and easy to work with, obviously experienced, and just personable and makes the whole experience more enjoyable!

We are so happy we chose Lucia to capture our elopement. Lucia is professional, fast to respond to emails and texts, helpful with decisions, accommodating to any requests, concerns, and excited to give advice. Duncan and I really wanted our photographer to capture our true emotion and to get candids of us, and Lucia DID THAT! The day felt blissful and a key point for us was that we got to enjoy the day without it feeling solely like a photoshoot which I think speaks to Lucias talent and confidence in her craft. She was good at giving guiding advice for posing without us feeling posed. I put together a Pinterest board and shot list which she really did a great job pulling inspiration from. The photos are stunning and the exact style we envisioned. Also, our sneak peak was huge and she got them to us very fast. If you are torn between photographers or are just starting your research, you're in very safe hands to stop here. We hope to continue reaching out to Lucia in the future when we start a family.

I was that kid enchanted by Disney Princess movies and the idea of "true love". My true love revealed itself through photography. At 8, I grabbed my dad's camera and was hooked, thrilled to show people my world. I started with zoo animals, friends, and siblings, eager to freeze moments in time. As I grew, I learned from local photographers and knew by 17 that photography was my calling. Since then, I’ve captured love in all its forms: couples, new parents, best friends, and the joy of seeing your favorite band live. The world is full of magical firsts, and I'm honored to capture these moments forever.

Tara Beth Photography is a place of inclusion, empathy, intimacy, and care. From the first email, I take care with my clients. Considering them all unique, and with that, their stories being unique. We talk about how you want to be captured, how your love should be captured. We go over insecurities, love stories, and anything else that may come up during our Zoom calls. I don't want to be just someone you hire. I want to be considered someone you trust, and enjoy to have around!

My wife and I had the pleasure of working with Tara Beth for our wedding in December 2022. We started following her instagram years prior and fell in love with how she captured every moment, from the guests to the couple. Not only were her photos amazing, but being a part of the LGBTQ community can feel daunting at times when reaching out to vendors, specifically for same-sex weddings. We had a few tough experiences with other vendors in regards to being a same-sex couple, but Tara Beth, as she is a part of the community, made it easy to feel comfortable and accepting. We contacted her and were met with a quick response. From the start, we knew she was the one. Her vibe and passion for love sold us! My wife and I were very nervous to take photos, but Tara Beth reassured us that she would walk us through everything - and she did just that. She talked us through our first look and it was an amazing experience. She also guided our party and family photos, which was super helpful as we were able to get our photos done ahead of schedule! We appreciate everything Tara Beth did for our special day and would recommend her 100 times over!

Hey!! Congratulations and I'm so excited you're here! My name's Lissa (pronounced "Lyss-uh") and photographs are my jam! Also my jam? Bright colors, the lamest jokes, floral everything, weird history, and awesome ghost stories. I'm a total mother hen / perpetual big sister and I'm mom to Max, Henry, and Penelope. I love creating. I garden. I sew. I crochet. I design ridiculously cute tee shirts. But most of all? I freaking love creating photographs. A professional photographer since 2011 (eek!), my photographs are bright, happy, and totally meant to hit you in the feels. But most of all? They're a total party!

It was such a pleasure having Lissa as the photographer for our wedding. She has taken several photos for me and my family throughout the years, and each time the photos have always been exactly what we wanted. Her photos are vibrant, full of color, and full of feeling. Lissa was sure to respond quickly to contracts, questions, and provided information in a timely manner. She listened to our desires and concerns, and when needed she provided feedback that helped us feel more comfortable and excited to work with her. She is incredibly easy to work with her. She was flexible with any photo requests that came up in the moment, and she guided and directed us for other shots she felt would turn out well when we weren't sure what to do next. She was professional and courteous to all of our wedding guests and yet always made sure to prioritize our (the bride and groom) desires and time as opposed to the rest of our wedding party. She had a happy, yet focused disposition while working with us. That focus was evident in the BEAUTIFUL pictures she took. She perfectly captured our joy that day. Turnaround time was better than expected, and we couldn't be happier with the results. We have no regrets with our choice of wedding photographer. She's amazing!

*The easiest way to contact me is through my website* OMG HI!! I'm Brit! When I am not basking in the chaos of my 2 toddlers, 5 dogs, 3 cats, 10 goats, 6 ducks. 2 geese, 2 cows, 8 chickens, and my 400 hobbies, I am out there capturing your story. First and foremost I am an artist. Telling your story is my art. Oftentimes times photos add such an immense amount of pressure. One of my super powers is making YOU comfortable in front of my camera. I pride myself in my ability to do that.

We couldn’t of picked a better photographer! From our engagement photos to our wedding she has been so sweet, funny and knowledgeable. My husband and I aren’t super photogenic and she makes us feel so comfortable and poses us so well! She comes prepared and makes sure to ask if there’s a certain photo we want, if we’re comfortable etc. For sure our photographer for our life events!

I am a Chicago-based wedding + elopement photographer. I am available worldwide and love to travel! I document genuine moments for couples, no matter who they love. My images are the perfect mix of posed and photojournalistic, giving you gorgeous portraits without missing the important, candid moments you will want to remember for years to come. My approach to wedding days is simple: I want to make sure you have images of you two that you love and cherish and tell your wedding day story.

When I say I truly couldn’t be more grateful I found Tawny to capture all of the amazing moments for my husband and me, I mean it with my whole heart! Her thoughtfulness, kindness and general support and hype was everything and more we were looking for in a photographer. From engagement shoot, to boudoir, to wedding day, then post wedding portraits, she was always making sure we looked, but most importantly, felt our best! I’m forever grateful I found her!

With over 10 years of industry experience, my strengths clearly lie in wedding and portraiture photography.

Whatever your photo needs are, I would love to chat and find out if we're a good match.

Sam is truly amazing person and photographer. First off, every conversation you have with Sam, whether it be a phone call or texting, she truly cares about the small details and wants your day to be perfect. We knew we made the right decision when we got back our engagement photos - they were beautiful! Days leading up to the wedding Sam was fully available to answer any and all questions. As an experienced wedding photographer she was able to gave helpful suggestions and ideas. She went through the shoot list, making sure she knew who everyone was and perfecting the days timeline. She is not only your wedding photographer, but she treats you like you have known her for years. She goes above and beyond for her clients and I cannot recommend her enough. She is one of the best in the business! We are so thankful we chose her to photograph our special day!
