  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $2,850
  • Serves East Saint Louis, 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.

Awarded Best of Zola
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.

Brea Photography 

5.0

  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $1,600
  • Serves East Saint Louis, IL

Our goal is to capture the intangible qualities of your wedding/event/family and tell a complete story through a series of moments. Our photography style is fun, upbeat and editorial. While we’re careful to capture all of the important details, we also watch what unfolds naturally, capturing the most authentic and beautiful moments you share with the people around you

Brea is an incredible photographer and human and I am so glad we hired her to take our engagement photos and photograph our wedding! She was enthusiastic about all of our ideas and it felt like she was committed to making both the engagement shoot and wedding day feel like a celebration of us and our relationship. She was responsive, really put us at ease, and went above and beyond for us, especially on our wedding day. You really spend a LOT of time with your photographer on your wedding day, and Brea was such a delight and kept the vibes positive the entire day! For our engagement pictures, Brea photographed us both at our local rock climbing gym (a shared passion) and at the bar located in the same building and we have so many beautiful and creative shots that truly feel like US! For our wedding, Brea got amazing pictures of us both posed AND interacting with guests! We even had a small "bike parade" with a few friends in between the ceremony and reception and Brea got incredible action shots that helped us celebrate and capture our day in a way that felt unique to us. When we started to fall behind in the schedule, Brea LEPT into coordinator mode and helped make sure things stayed on time and running smoothly! I can never thank her enough for that! Basically, Brea is the best and I wouldn't hesitate to hire her, especially if you want someone who will capture what really makes you YOU in her photographs! :)

Jamie Rogers Photography

  • Editorial style
  • Serves East Saint Louis, IL

Hey I'm Jamie! I'm an wedding + lifestyle photographer based in St. Louis, MO but I love to travel! Photography and LOVE are two things I adore! One thing I can guarentee is you'll probably hear me say, "I love love!" at least once on your special day! I can't wait to get to know you more and share in your memorable day!

For our elopement session in Florida, Jamie, the lead photographer, did SUCH an amazing job! She was very detailed and directed us with posing, how to stand, what to do, etc. As someone who has no clue what to do when having my photo taken, Jamie was EXTREMELY helpful with guiding both me and my husband. We had a couple of scheduling errors (on our end) and had to switch the times and Jamie was so gracious and flexible and still got our photos done with the gorgeous Florida sunset. The photographer was so kind and professional towards us and she is our go-to for all of our photography needs. I was able to communicate with her with utmost ease without ever feeling like a burden. I have gotten multiple sessions done with Jamie and each one never fails to amaze me, each time more than the rest. I would 1000% recommend Jamie Rogers Photography and anytime anyone needs a photographer, I always give them Jamie's name and they are always impressed by her services.

Hi! I’m Connie! First of all congrats!🍾 ✨Thank you for visiting my profile and considering me as your photographer! I am so excited for your big day! Here are some things you might wanna know! I’m not typical photog- I don’t just arrive on your day, leave after few hours, and deliver few months later! I’m there for all the moments leading to the big day! You can hit me up any time- we can brainstorm all the ideas, timelines, all the tiniest details! I am a fan of Pinterest vision boards, sending each other tons of messages and be open about EVERYTHING! This is your day! Let’s make it all about YOU!

All I can say is Connie is hands down so much more than a photographer. She was so patient, kind, and positive when we had our elopement. We got down pour rain and she was quick to have plans to take us to get beautiful pictures. She was so thoughtful with doing things she didn’t have to do, like helping hold my wet dress, and so much more. Connie is extremely calming presence in a stressful and hectic day. We absolutely loved our pictures and all the special moments she captured without us realizing and was truly so special working with her!

  • Serves East Saint Louis, IL

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.

Svat is a professional and an artist! We had a few hours set aside for photos before the ceremony and I honestly feel like we could have just taken pictures with Svat all day.

Red Bank Studio was founded in 2017 with one goal. To create unique, elegant and timeless memories for our couples. We look in meeting couples that love to be goofy , laugh and be present on their amazing day that is their Wedding Day. Our style of photography is all about you. We want to make sure we capture all the giggles, all the laughs, all the tears and even those goofy moments on the dancefloor. At the end of the day, we want to make sure you look back at your wedding day pictures and videos and relieve every single moment same like when it happened.

Let me start by saying that this bride is a bit late on reviews... but as my 1 year anniversary approaches and I look at the beautiful pictures that I have from my wedding day, I wanted to take the time to thank RB Studio and Michael! When I first contacted them I knew he was the photographer for us based on his personalized response. We asked for a bit of an unusual session from him as we wanted to travel all over the Hoboken area on our wedding day to take pictures with as many local backdrops as we could. Michael didn't blink an eye, he was all for the adventure! We were new to the area so we left it up to him to plan the day and he chose the most amazing locations, even including a coffee shop that captured part of our love story. I am thankful that we found Red Bank Studio and will be hiring him again to explore more locations in the future.

2020 was a difficult year for many reasons, but weddings were especially tough to make happen in this calendar year. But what made it even more difficult was having to plan 2 different weddings. The first being a 10 month planned wedding in Joshua Tree, California, until we had to cancel it due to COVID in November a month before it was supposed to happen. My now husband and I scrambled to reset for a smaller ceremony in Illinois instead to allow at least his family to attend and have it at his sister's home in Huntley, IL. We only had one month to reset. One of the most important things for us was photography, and although we had spent most of our savings on the cancelled wedding and we had no hope in recovering most of that back or even soon enough to help with the 2nd wedding, we knew we had to put forth the money and make the right choice for a photographer to document our day as best as possible so that our love ones who couldn't make it could experience that day through the right lens. Justin Vaughn of JVaughn Photography LLC was the right lens and so much more! He worked very closely with us via online google meetings, with a minor setback, which was we couldn't have an in person engagement photo session with him (since we were based in Wyoming and wouldn't arrive in Illinois until closer to the ceremony). Justin prefers to complete an engagement photo session, which comes already included in a lot of his packages, before the wedding to get to know us as a couple and make sure we get the shots we prefer. However even without the engagement session, through our online meetings, we were able to discuss who we are and Justin had that personal touch as though we were talking to an old friend. We established the narrative and story telling that we hoped to have for the day. Justin took detailed notes and had a list of shots to take for the day. But his improvisation and artistic eye was also excellent and he captured moments that we had never thought of that were so beautiful and amazing. In addition to the photography he also did minor videography to provide us a highlight reel, which was beyond what we expected! Throughout the day he was also very much a ninja in capturing the right moments beautifully without obstructing the views of guests present. I would recommend him for any photography need, he truly is an artist that captures the moments you wanted and so much more!

I have been shooting professionally for nearly ten years throughout Indiana--though I am very eager to travel with my camera!

Kelly is very easy to communicate with while knowing just when to (kindly and graciously) take charge and run the show to let her work shine through.

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.

My now husband and I had the joy of getting to use Diana for our engagement shoot as well as our wedding. Although our wedding and engagement shoot were out of state for her (and the wedding for us), she managed to not only get breathtaking pictures that captured all of the best moments flawlessly but she also remained organized, professional, fun and relaxed the whole time. She gives great direction and has an eye for capturing the best shots and communicated actively to make sure we were all on the same page. Diana was super helpful and went above and beyond to make sure my husband and I were happy with everything. Highly recommend Diana if you want beautiful, timeless pictures :)

Living my best life in suburban Maryland. I love art and being creative, so photography just seemed like the next step after being an actor for 15 years. Storytelling is a HUGE part of my life- whether it’s sitting around the dinner table recounting funny memories or looking at old photographs of my own family. Some of the best stories in the world were told without words. I am a D&D, gaming, and SQL nerd, I have a newfound love of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and I am a proud plant mom. Never been married before?

My style is rooted in an editorial approach, allowing me to narrate your unique love story through timeless images that highlight genuine emotions. I prioritize unscripted moments, such as the reaction of your spouse as you walk up the aisle, the inside joke that makes you break out in laughter or the tears as your loved ones share thoughtful memories during toasts. These intimate details hold immense significance to me. As your photographer, I bring a heartfelt and genuine perspective, ensuring that your wedding day is portrayed in a way that truly reflects you and preserves the memories you'll cherish forever.

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.

Jenni and her team did a phenomenal job capturing our wedding day. We felt so comfortable from the moment we first met with her and that definitely translated to how easy it felt taking direction from her for our wedding day photos. Her team took time to get to know us and figure out what we were comfortable with so it felt natural (we're not the most comfortable in front of the camera but somehow she figured out how to get those sweet in the moment shots without it feeling forced!). The photos turned out stunning. From the formal portraits to our mountain top vows to the sweetest candids she captured of me and my dad and my adorable nieces and nephews there’s seriously so many amazing photos to choose from. I also appreciated how organized she was with our formal portrait list keeping it quick and everyone ready to move through those as soon as possible. Cannot recommend her enough. Thank you so much Jenni! We absolutely could not dream of better photos!

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!
