Brendan Batchelor Photography

  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $2,450
  • Serves Elsah, IL

St. Louis based but always ready to pack a bag and find my way to you! I’m a wedding and portrait photographer lucky enough to have been doing what I do for 10 years now. I feel so lucky each and every day. It’s a big responsibility and I don’t take it for granted for a single second. Beautiful imagery built on a foundation of trust is my ultimate goal as your photographer.

Picking a photographer is such an important decision for your wedding and if you're anything like me, you're going to do your research and compare value and quality to the other companies out there. Trust me when I say there is no other company that I would put my trust in to get the perfect shots every time. Brendan Batchelor Photography continues to exceed our expectations. What started as our engagement/wedding photographer has since turned into my growing family's photographer for life. From family shoots to important events, Brendan consistently delivers beautiful pictures that highlight the best parts of our special events. With Brendan, we were truly able to "stay in the moment" on our special day because of how comfortable Brendan made us feel. He makes you feel relaxed, confident, and natural. We completely trusted him with our photos on our wedding day because his work just can't be beat. His attention to detail and consistency are just some of the things that set him apart. His turn around time for all of the images you receive is also so impressive and he makes it so easy to print and share your pictures. Brendan knows is art so well and pours his heart into his work, making even the smallest moments of the day feel special. He is always prepared and always thinking outside of the box. He even had extra hair pins for me on our wedding day to perfect my hair as the day went on. Upon meeting him, you'll see his kindness and genuine personality which makes him even more of a clear choice. I simply cannot over recommend this company enough!!

Elizabeth is a jewel! The photos are amazing and she fit right in with my crazy family. I don't even remember her taking half the shots she took; that's how well she blended into the background. I'm so glad we chose her to capture our special day. One of the comments I've heard often is how the love between my husband and I shone through the photos. It takes a skilled photographer to capture those special moments and little nuances.

  • Starts at $1,600
  • Serves Elsah, 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 Elsah, 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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

We’ve known Kaitlyn for a while and were so honored to have her capture our wedding events! She was there for the proposal, engagement shoot, rehearsal dinner, and the wedding day! Kaitlyn is so fun to be around and so incredibly talented! We really appreciated her “fly on the wall” approach so we could just enjoy ourselves and live in the moment without having to worry about posing. Looking forward to having her capture many more of our milestones in the future :)

Jenni and her team do their best at what they do, they are very professional. My husband and I felt very comfortable and happy to have been able to do this process with her and her team.

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!
