Mist Photography 

5.0

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves East Saint Louis, 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!

KAS Photography

  • Classic style

  • Serves East Saint Louis, IL

I love being able to capture those endearing, authentic laughs, and just “in the moment” moments. I believe photos are a timeless way to relive that special moment. Memories are one of the most beautiful things we as humans have, so why not have that memory frozen in time where you can physically see it!

Karla did my business promo shoot, in which was a very spontaneous decision on my behalf.. being that I am pretty awkward and do not really enjoy “modeling”. I was super awkward the whole shoot but Karla made me feel very comfortable and made me laugh the whole time. It honestly didn’t even feel unnatural at all as she captured my most genuine moments. She really helped me with “easing up” since I tend to get stiff and just as awkward as can be. She was extremely professional, friendly, funny, caring and patient! She managed to capture my best angles in which surprised me because my whole life I always get pictures taken of me and my lovely best friend AKA my double chin. I would highly suggest her to anyone looking for a photographer for any and every occasion possible. She comes off as a friend and not a stranger at all, which is why I’m looking forward to booking any future shoots I plan to take and she will also be the only person I am confident in recommending to others! SHE IS THE BEST.

  • Serves East Saint Louis, IL for additional fees

Hello, future clients! I am honored that you are viewing my passion and interested in who I am! I always aim to photograph people in the most beautiful spots around NWA! I have loved all forms of art and had a passion for it, since I was a child! I bought my first camera (small red Kodak) when I was 11, and I have been photographing anything and everything ever since! I have since upgraded my camera equipment, if you can't tell, and I would love the chance to photograph you and everyone you know and love! I can't wait to be a part of and capture your most special moments!

Our scheduled photographer was late to our wedding (NOT DANIELLE), but luckily enough my friend, Danielle who was attending the wedding, lived nearby and was able to drop everything to come take pictures early so we could stay on schedule! She was absolutely fantastic (as I already knew) and got some of my favorite captures of the whole day! So thankful for her willingness to jump in and save the day! She absolutely crushed it!

The rawness of emotion & human connection is what drew me into wedding and portrait photography. I am a storyteller and celebrater for the lighthearted and crazy in love. I focus on capturing authentic photographs that stand the test of time. My goal is to provide couples with one heck of an experience and images that can be cherished for a generations. One of my favorite facts about my style is that I created my own preset from scratch, and that each photo receives the dedicated time it takes to ensure that its final version is its best. The result is beautiful, sentimental photos that preserve meaningful and true-to-life moments.

Annie was absolutely amazing. I’ve never had professional pictures taken and am nervous in front of the camera. I was always worried about how my wedding pictures would turn out or if I could even afford them. Annie made both my husband and I very comfortable in front of the camera and even got us laughing. The pictures were so fun to take and I absolutely LOVE how they came out. Not only that but they didn’t cost me half of my wedding. Annie is very reasonably priced and her photos are exquisite. She helped me stay on track with which photos to take and did amazing with the candids. She also gave us our pictures in a very timely manner and I can tell she spent a lot of time and effort into the shots. We 100% recommend Annie to any and everyone, all the time, 10/10.

Laura is an incredibly talented photographer and the sweetest human! Laura did my engagement photos and we loved her so much that we also asked her to do our wedding! Laura and her husband, Ryan, did an amazing job as our wedding photographers. I was so thrilled with how our pictures turned out and there were so many of them!! My favorite thing about Laura and Ryan though, is that they are so down to earth, flexible, and fun to be around. We were truly blessed to have them there to capture our special day. Laura is really good about making you feel comfortable and making sure all the details are perfect. Laura’s years of photography experience are very apparent and I would recommend this duo to anyone in a heartbeat. I know my family will definitely be booking with Laura for any future occasions. :)

In 2019, we started filming weddings for couples in 2023, we decided it was time to make it official! Storytelling, and telling your love story, is what we love to do. In the past (roughly) five years, we’ve had the opportunity to document close to 100 weddings. We love love and would adore to chat about your wedding and how we can document your special day! xoxo, your personal hype people

Ariel and Jono (Tulsa Wedding Co.) made us feel so comfortable in our skin. They had great ideas for shots and honestly knew exactly what would make amazing photos!! They went above and beyond to capture our special day! When we got the photos back my jaw dropped just because there were soooo many photos that were so amazing!!! I highly recommend using them to capture any special day / event! No regrets here, very happy with their service!!!
