Gage Horne Studios

  • Videographer
  • Cinematic style
  • Starts at $2,600
  • Serves East St. Louis, IL for additional fees

My name is Gage Horne, the owner of Gage Horne Studios. I started my company in 2019 (officially) but have been doing video work starting at the age of 11. It started as gaming videos uploaded to YouTube, to shooting professional dance films in college, to starting my own Video Production Service. I found true passion in my work when I realized how important wedding videos are. I had already shot 100+ films before my wedding but realized as a consumer how valuable it is. I love what I do and finding intriguing/interesting ways to display those pieces is what keeps me creative and constantly making my films better.

Gage was a dream to work with, he captured the essence of our July wedding flawlessly. His attention to detail, creativity, and simple yet elegant style was exactly what we wanted. We are so grateful to have all the memories of our wedding so beautifully captured to share with friends and family for years to come. His work exceeded our highest expectations!

Awarded Best of Zola
We initially chose Carter Events and Entertainment because it was the DJ our venue recommended. We are so glad they did! We had Steven as our DJ, he is a ball of energy! We met with him and he gave us a form to fill out about what exactly we were looking for in a DJ, level of involvement, music genres, do not plays and so much more! He laid it out and made it super easy for us to communicate what we wanted. Our wedding ran so smoothly because of him and the timeline he helped create for us. Once we were on the dance floor he played exactly what we were anticipating and just looked like he was having fun, which you can’t say about every DJ! We initially opted for no lights, but a couple weeks before wanted lighting added. So simple to do and so glad we did add it! 10/10 recommend for your wedding or event!!!!

Erica's presence was such a nice touch for our wedding that was on the smaller end but also an outdoor one. All of our sound needs were met for the event space that we had and she was able to accommodate a lot of our requests! For example, we wanted to have a worship time during our ceremony so it was nice that Erica was able to lead that for us while also playing during our cocktail hour and reception afterwards. She has a great way of understanding the balance on when the music needed to be at the forefront versus being in the background. At one point during our reception, she even performed a song for us right after some speeches and chose a song that happened to be a very special song to us!

My husband and I decided just 10 days out to have a mini-mony and while I knew we were going to hire a photographer, we were on the fence about hiring a videographer. I. Am. So. Glad. We. Did!! Desmond was responsive and professional from the start. There are a lot of great videographers but what set Desmond and his team apart is their background in film making! I knew he would use his creativity to commemorate our mini-mony with such authenticity and energy. We decided to do an IG reel and a longer video. When Desmond sent over the IG reel it carried such energy… by the end of it we were clapping as if we just watched a great movie! He truly delivered and in such a timely fashion. Our longer video is on its way, but will be delivered weeks in advance. Absolutely no regrets hiring Fine Art! Planned a beautiful small wedding and I’m glad I had an artist like Desmond to add the finishing touches to commemorate the day!

Intimate wedding photographer originally from the coast of VA, but now based in the North Georgia Mountains & love finding new adventures while exploring the outdoors. When I am not hidden behind my camera, you can find me hiking up a new mountain with my fur babies, eating tacos, or spending quality time with my little family. I started out capturing families, then realized that my heart is completely drawn to love & the bond that two people share. I describe my photography as bold, intimate & sincere. I enjoy capturing the small, yet sometimes unseen gestures & reactions as well as the pure romance between two people on their wedding day.

Hannah is incredibly easy-going and has such a fun personality, which made my wedding day a lot more fun. Her fun energy helped me relax amidst the craziness of our big day.

Hi! I'm Sarah. Congratulations on taking the next step in your wedding planning! Choosing to work with me earns you more than just a photographer; you get a hype-girl, a dress fluffer, a confidant and a new best friend. Since we are now future besties, here's what you should know about me: My love for portraiture stems from the joy it brings me to make others feel beautiful. Few things make me feel as giddy as photographing weddings, engagements & proposals, and I can't wait to capture the next stage of your love story. My strengths lie in natural lighting, illuminating colors, and catching the candid moments that make you, you.

Awarded Best of Zola
There is not enough good things we can say about Sarah! From day 1, she had great communication before the proposal while deciding the perfect location and how we would meet up with her. She executed flawlessly and I never saw her until the ring was on my finger even though she followed us for a bit before the big moment. She made us feel so comfortable for the photoshoot after and was willing to go to a few different spots with us all while carrying all of our stuff so it wouldn’t be in our pockets for the pictures. We received the sneak peeks the next day and were blown away with how well they turned out, she nailed it!! She got the big “I do” moment which was most important and then captured so many other sweet moments right before and after that I will forever be so grateful we can relive because of her photos. The best thing about her is that you can feel the joy coming out of the screen when you look through her galleries. So many people have raved over how well our engagement photos turned out. Everyone should book Sarah, she is so great at what she does!!

Leah photographed our wedding at my family's property in Napa Valley, June 2024. Leah took lots of time to scope out the location and seemed to be absolutely *everywhere* during the wedding, at all the right moments. I didn't have to call her over once, because she was already there. She captured the emotions of the day, the little moments, the big moments, and made our day look like the fairytale wedding that it felt like. Once we got the photo gallery back (so quickly!) we relived the day all over again. We were tearing up and laughing at all the photos. I felt like I was looking at photos from a Brides magazine, but it was me! Another thing I'll mention is that Leah gives direction in a kind, calm and encouraging way. My husband is not too confident in photos and he felt SO comfortable posing with her there, and loves his photos too! I felt like she could guide me into more flattering poses when I felt uncertain about my angles. I love Leah and her work and would recommend her to anyone!

We absolutely love our wedding video! The video comes out so clear and crisp and it just captures the love and beauty on our wedding day. Alex was so helpful in directing what we should do and caught great moments. He is responsive and attentive. I asked him if he could add subtitles to our video since I am hard-of-hearing and he did it without any hesitation. The songs he chose are amazing. I love that he provided a 30 sec-1 min wedding video teaser as we waited for the full-length video. I just replayed it over and over. Now since we have our full-length video, I am replaying that one over and over.

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 was so friendly from start to finish and sat down to not only learn about us as people but what style of photographs and moments we wanted to capture for our wedding. She was communicative and professional the whole way through, and in the end we have absolutely amazing photos to keep the memories of our special day together. Thank you again, so very much!!

By the time she was three years old, Olivia Claggett was asking for a harp teacher. At six years old, she began taking piano lessons with Jean Wonders, and at eight she began Suzuki harp lessons with professional harpist, instructor, and adjudicator Candyce Dunham. She never looked back after her first lesson in October 2007. During her many years as a student, Olivia continued to push herself musically by competing in numerous competitions winning the annual Buckeye Christian School Organization’s spring competition for five consecutive years.

Olivia is the type of person that when you look up the definition of class, shes listed there. Truly kind and wonderful to work with, her music is beautiful and fluid. I would not recommend many when it comes to live music work but her work on the harp is truly an art. You will never go wrong with trusting her to provide music and atmosphere for your event.

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.

What if your photos actually looked and felt like you? Picture yourself 10 years from now on your wedding anniversary looking back at your wedding album with tears welling up in your eyes as you relive your day. Your wedding should not feel like a performance. Let go of boring wedding traditions, think outside of the box and create something unique that has never been done before. Whatever the perfect day looks like for you, why shouldn’t that be your wedding day? I am more than your wedding photographer, I am your guide, biggest fan, and the curator of your love story, I will also be the one tearing up from behind my lens.

We are so lucky to have had Danielle photograph our wedding! She is the BEST, so creative & talented, and makes you feel so comfortable. We have gotten countless compliments saying how professional and amazing she is, and we couldn’t agree more.

Hi there! I’m Emma CotéEwers, your East Coast & Destination Wedding and Lifestyle Photographer! My work is a seamless blend of traditional heirloom portraiture, lively artistic shots, and a little ​photojournalism if the day calls for it. With a true-to-color, film-inspired approach, I strive to craft visuals that capture love, ​laughter, and those beautifully authentic moments that weave together the story of your ​wedding! I feel like these should include fun ​facts? Patsy Cline’s Walkin’ After Midnight is my favorite song and I am currently on my 8th ​nostalgic binge of Gilmore Girls (which might just be fueling my banter lately).

I cannot say enough good things about Emma - she is always flexible, knowledgeable, and shows up with the best energy to every event! When I wasn’t sure where I wanted to take bridals, she was happy to make suggestions based on the vibe I was going for - and I very much appreciated one less thing on my plate! She delivers high quality, beautiful photos every single time and is the artist behind so many of my most cherished memories! I would absolutely recommend Coté and Camera - you won’t regret it!

Thanks to Kim, our wedding day was everything we dreamed of and more. I can't recommend her highly enough to any couple in need of a dedicated, organized, and talented day-of wedding coordinator. She truly is a gem in the wedding industry.

Right Price Photography was a fantastic choice for our wedding photography. The photographer and her team were very prompt and timely with communication leading up to our big day, responding to emails and calls within a day or less. On the wedding day, they arrived on time and came prepared with a detailed timeline that we had collaborated on in advance. They were extremely flexible and accommodating when I came up with some unique photo ideas, not only bringing those visions to life but also suggesting additional creative shots. The end results are beautiful photos that perfectly capture the joy and special moments of our wedding, all at a very reasonable price. I would highly recommend Right Price to any couple looking for professional yet laidback photographers who deliver excellent work and value while making the photography process fun and stress-free!

I’m sure your mind is racing with all that needs to be planned. It’s all very exciting but it can also be somewhat overwhelming. You’re planning the day that you’ve been anticipating your whole life and yet you only get one shot at it! By the time you get the hang of it, the planning is over! My goal as a wedding photographer is to make this one aspect of the planning process simple. Photography is more than just images, it’s a real part of your day. Not only do you deserve beautiful images, you also deserve an amazing photographic experience.

Awarded Best of Zola
I absolutely LOVED working with Sarah as my wedding photographer! From the moment I booked her until the final gallery was delivered, I couldn't have had a better experience. Sarah made everything so fun, made me feel like her most important client, and most of all, genuinely cared about what my husband and I hoped for in our wedding photos. She brought so much energy to our day, and was an absolute joy to hang out with all day. My husband, not one for all the details and photos, even had the best experience of his life with her. Best of all, we are in LOVE with each and every one of the photos from Sarah! Each one perfectly captures a memory and a moment (in the most beautiful possible way) that my husband and I will treasure forever. We cannot recommend Sarah enough!!

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
I absolutely recommend Lucia for any photography needs - my fiance and I had such a great time during our engagement session. Neither one of us had ever had professional photos taken of us before, so this was new for both of us. Lucia made it feel easy - but most importantly FUN! She was super helpful in picking a location and time that worked best for our needs and style as a couple. She also asked if we had any preference for particular poses, which at the time we didn't, so we followed her lead and absolutely loved the way the photos turned out. We are so excited for our wedding day, and the memories that will be captured beautifully by Lucia.

I work to craft images about connection - photographs that have warmth & tell a story about the love you share as a couple or as a family. I believe your wedding photos should stand the test of time. You want to feel completely confident that your story is going to be captured in a way that is beautiful and true to who you are as a couple. Not only that but we should probably have some fun along the way! I feel so honored to play a small part in your best day ever. I am here to help you enjoy this season of your life and have you feel well taken care of from day one.

Awarded Best of Zola
Kate was one of our favorite vendors and a pretty important one as our wedding day photographer! We had a great experience with her at both our engagement photo shoot and on our wedding day. I also met with her a few times for consulting/advice on our timeline before the big day, which was SO helpful. Kate makes you feel comfortable and natural while she is behind the camera making the magic happen! She is so kind and has such a calming presence, yet keeps everything moving and on schedule. Kate makes sure to get all of your preferred photos, from detail shots to group shots and the moments in between. We absolutely love our sneak peek shots and are so excited to get our full gallery and physical photos! I highly recommend Kate for your wedding, she gets it done beautifully and you won't be disappointed. Best decision we made :)
