Hi! I’m Carly :) Your new bestie behind the camera! I am located in Traverse City, Michigan, where I was born and raised, but I am always happy to travel for weddings + elopements. I fell in love with taking pictures at a very young age when I received my first film camera as a gift from my parents and have been obsessed ever since. My goal is to create timeless images that you can cherish forever, images that freeze your favorite moments in time. I’m not just a photographer, but a visual storyteller for loved-up souls.

Carly Lynne Visuals provided excellent photography services for our wedding day. Carly's communication style is direct, honest and kind - she was always responsive and helped guide us through the process. The quality and value of Carly's work is fantastic, she captured so many sweet moments with great detail. We appreciated that Carly was able to be present without being intrusive. A few examples that contributed to our special day - Carly adapted our portrait timeline based on lighting conditions which resulted in beautiful golden hour photos. My husband was more comfortable after changing the schedule. We highly recommend Carly, she is very talented and kind. Her photography beautifully documented our wedding celebrations and we will treasure the photos for years to come.

Callie Gray Weddings And Events 

5.0

  • Planner
  • Offers 3 services
  • Starts at $1,200
  • Serves East St. Louis, IL for additional fees

Callie has known that she has wanted to plan events since she was in high school. She has always had a knack for planning and executing events. Callie is a CWEP (Certified Wedding and Event Planner) and possesses a Bachelors of Science in Hospitality Management from the University of North Texas. She has over eight years of experience in the field not only with owning CGWE, but also working for various DFW vendors and venues and has had the honor of interning for celebrity wedding planner, David Tutera, twice on his bridal show circuit.

I happened upon Callie on instagram in the early stages of wedding planning hoping to find someone that could help me narrow things down so I could actually begin the planning process. From my husband & I's first call with Callie I knew she would be perfect to help us with our wedding day. She is such a calm presence and someone to call on anytime with any questions. She gave me all of her recommendations for vendors and helped me narrow things down right away which was life saving because there are just too many vendors out there to go through alone. Knowing that she knew everyone she was recommending to us and had worked with them in the past gave me such ease and confidence. Now, my wedding day... OMG my wedding day. It was so relaxing. Stressed would not even be anywhere near how I felt. I showed up to the venue and Callie was there, biggest smile, handling all the things. She checked on me multiple times making sure I had everything I needed as well as my whole bridal party. The whole wedding ran so smoothly, everything was on time... I could go on and on. I am so lucky that after this I can now truly call Callie my friend. Truly the best in the business. My wedding would not have been ANYTHING close to what I was without her. We are forever grateful!!!!!

Eisley Images

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,800
  • Serves East St. Louis, IL for additional fees

At Eisley Images we are actively anti-racist by learning and unlearning our own biases and learned behavior. We are actively trying to make the wedding industry we are a part of more inclusive, kind, and part of the larger discussion at hand. As consumers ourselves, we deeply appreciate knowing WHO we are investing our money in. We want to be upfront and unapologetic about who we are, and what values we deeply believe in.

We reached out to Christy almost immediately after booking our venue (18 months before our wedding), and are so happy we did! We had a great engagement shoot - something we didn't think we needed/wanted but she convinced us that it was worth it and it was! When the pandemic hit, Christy was flexible and kind as we figured out how to change our wedding plans. We decided to have a super small, outdoor wedding at a family house with as many precautions and safety measures as possible and only 12 us total. Christy felt like a member of our family as she captured the most beautiful photos of our day! She was one of the only vendors on our wedding day and we are SO happy she was there with us! On top of Christy's awesomeness as a person, our photos are better than we ever could have imagined! We have the most beautiful photos to remember our intimidate wedding by and will cherish forever. Our family members who attended love them, too - and having such beautiful images to share with our friends and family who couldn't attend has been so great. Our wedding day was so much better than we could have imaged, and having Christy capture our day made it even better!

Katy Frye Photography 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,998
  • Serves East St. Louis, IL for additional fees

I first and foremost, love pasta. You probably thought I was going to say something about photography. Eh, I can live with that level of disappointment. I laugh, a lot; and loudly. I believe in friends and family and friends that are like family. You will rarely find me with anything sweet in my hand, and definitely zero chocolate. But I can promise you I've never turned down a french fry. When I'm not taking selfies with my clients, you can find me watching reruns (Friends, Schitt's Creek, and Parks and Rec, of course), car dancing, reciting early 00's hip hop lyrics, and online shopping.

Katy is truly amazing. She photographed our wedding in 2014 and the pictures turned out phenomenal. She also arranged to shoot at Victory Field for our engagement session which was such an awesome experience. Almost 8 years later, she is still our go-to photographer. Not once have we felt we were being “posed” for a photo. She has a way of capturing those raw, authentic moments without being invasive and she has always made us feel comfortable. She has such an amazing energy and you can feel the passion she has for her career. Katy is truly amazing and I’m so glad she has been the one to capture some of the most memorable moments for my family.

Hello! I'm Cassandra and my journey into the world of weddings was ignited when I embarked on planning my very own special day. This experience kindled a deep passion for weddings, and it's one of the driving forces behind my profession. I'm wholeheartedly committed to ensuring that each of my couples has their precious moments meticulously captured, preserving memories that will endure for years to come. My purpose is to authentically narrate your unique love story, exactly as it unfolds.

My husband and I can't sing our praises enough for Cassandra! From beginning to end working with her was a dream. We instantly clicked with her when we had our consultation and we knew we had to have her apart of our day. When we had our engagement session that assured us that we chose the right photographer for our day. The images we received from our session were just beautiful and really captured our love for one another. Everything leading up to our wedding was wonderful and she was extremely helpful as we ran into some hiccups with other vendors and she was there to help us find someone just as amazing. The day of our wedding was better than we could have dreamed. Our vendor team was amazing, Cassandra took care of everything and some, she keep us on our timeline, made the day so enjoyable but also took charge so I wouldn't be stressed out. She is so talented and not only an amazing photographer, but a life long friend now. Thank you so much for giving us photos to cherish for the rest of our lives and giving us the most wonderful experience. We love you!

Well hi there, I'm Cecilia! I'm SO happy to meet you! I am a midwest girl through and through, chasing sunflowers or sunsets with chick-fil-a and a vanilla Dr. Pepper from QT in hand!
