Dave Mooreย Photographyย

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,200
  • Serves Gillespie, IL

Hereโ€™s a small confession: Iโ€™m not very comfortable in front of a camera. Oh I can take a decent self-portrait, but once someone else is taking my photo, everything falls apart: where do my arms go? Does my stance look normal? And oh no, was that smile natural? So if that happens to you when the camera comes out, no worries! I know how you feel.

โ€œTo say just a few words about Dave: You wonโ€™t find a gentler soul than this guy. From engagement to reception, heโ€™s there to snag the serious and the silly. He has a way of making the camera shy feel right at home, while his quirky anecdotes will keep the extroverts engaged. At our reception, Dave was our anchor. He navigates events with ease, coordinating with other vendors in ways we didnโ€™t expect. I am forever grateful that we made the choice to work with Dave, and would recommend him with enthusiasm to anyone seeking a wedding photographer!โ€

I created Emily Novara Photography, LLC because I believe that capturing the best day of your life deserves the same attention to detail that you put into planning it.

My brides trust I understand their vision and are able to enjoy their wedding day because of the communication leading up to it.

She was there for me through my entire planning process and helped guide me on any changes we needed. For our engagement photos, it was pouring rain and she had a backup plan asap. She makes the photos feel natural and nothing forced. For our wedding day, it rained yet again and Emily took charge of our wedding day. She creates a timeline for you. She was like my day of coordinator too! She came prepared with everything and anything you need. She made sure the day flowed as smooth as possible. Our wedding wouldnโ€™t have been what it was, without her! We love Emily!!โ€

โ€œNew to St. Louis and planning a wedding was a stressful combination. We did not know what vendors to book for our wedding day, or have any family or friends in the area with recommendations, so we went with a company called George Street Photo and Video. Thank God we did, because they put us in touch with Brooke who went above and beyond my wildest dreams!!!! From day one, Brooke was a joy to work with. Neither my husband or I had been in front of a camera before for any type of photoshoot, and we felt awkward and uncomfortable ... for about 2 seconds. Brooke made us laugh, talked us through poses and how to make them look natural, and took a lot of time and care to get to know us. Needless to say, we were thrilled with her work and went into the wedding day feeling calm and confident that she would capture our day perfectly. Between the engagement shoot and the wedding, Brooke was easy to get a hold of via text and email. She is responsive and full of excellent ideas. With 100 weddings under her belt, she has a wealth of knowledge. TRUST HER to make decisions, and she will blow your mind with the final proofs. She gets to know you intimately, finding out what matters most to you (like family backstories and tradition) and what your vision is. Best yet, she is able to execute it with precision amidst the chaos of wedding day. Her kindness, passion for photography and storytelling through this medium, and organization skills are unmatched. She is the kindest soul, and someone I hope to stay in touch with to photograph life's greatest moments in the years to come. Brooke, thank you for everything. You are one of a kind, and we are blessed to have met you!!!โ€

  • Classic style

  • Serves Gillespie, IL

It's true what they say โ€” when you know, you know. Something as special as that innate instinct to love and be loved by your person is art in itself. Keep the star-crossed feeling close with artfully directed storytelling photography designed to honor your love / your story / your wedding in all its authentic beauty. Let's hike a trail, drink cocktails on the roof, dance in a crowded street, let's capture your love for everything that it is. Let's do it all and make it as unforgettable as the moment you say, "I do!"

โ€œMy wedding was a little atypical, we planned the entire thing in less than two months, had a crowd of 30 family members present, and had EVERYONE take an hour car trip into the National Park for our ceremony. The photographer who would capture all our wonderful memories was by far the most important vendor to me, so Lexi was the first person I booked! And thank goodness I did because I couldnโ€™t have picked a more wonderful person to handle the uniqueness of our celebration than her. Lexi dealt with one date change, two location changes, and much more as my husband and I went through the decision making process in our short timeline. Lexi handled it all flawlessly, and showed up ready to help make our day special even in the middle of her own pregnancy! She traveled from states away, and made the Indiana Jones-esque drive into the mountains, to go above and beyond to shoot for us. Not only that but she got our preview out in less than 24 hours from the close of our reception, lightning speed! She was so kind and helped us feel comfortable and natural for two people who have never taken professional photos before. I would recommend anyone to Lexi for their wedding/elopement!โ€

She is a skilled portrait photographer but doesn't forget the details. She is caring to her clients and fellow vendors. By the end of the day, you'll be asking for her number so you can go out for drinks next week. She is like the friend you've always known, yet she is able to keep her professionalism high all day.

Hello. Iโ€™m Michayla Slone, a wedding + lifestyle photographer based in St. Louis, MO. I love traveling, my husband, my pup Rosie, and good conversations over coffee. I believe love is the most important thing. Itโ€™s what fuels us to our future, keeps us going on the bad days, and travels with us throughout time. My greatest joy is capturing days where love is at the forefront; where two people commit to a life full of passion and adventure. My work is more than just photography. Itโ€™s capturing history - your history.

โ€œWe hired Michayla as our wedding photographer and still canโ€™t fully express how happy we are with her and her work for both our engagement shoot and wedding photography! We are NOT the most natural people to photograph but Michayla helped us feel so natural and at ease both during our engagement shoot and on our wedding day. When doing family pictures she was so on top of it and made it such an efficient process which only made the day better as nobody was grumpy about standing around taking photos forever. We loved how she captured the โ€œin between momentsโ€, they are truly the ones we will cherish the most because we get to remember those fun little details of the day. We also had a second photographer as part of our package who happened to be Michaylaโ€™s husband Logan and he was just as easy to work with and only made the experience better! If your wedding is coming up and you need a photographer inquire with Michayla, she is incredible!โ€

From the beginning, we will get to know each other with an engagement session, and I will help you organize your timeline and provide my professional guidance to make sure every detail and moment is beautifully captured.

Awarded Best of Zola
โ€œKatie is an exceptional photographer, our families and us can not imagine what our wedding photos and engagement photos would have been like with out her. We started with Katie working on our engagement photos, this was a really special time for us and Katie helped make it even more special. She used the time to capture us but to also work with us on what we were comfortable with and what styles we liked. Throughout the entire time she was always spot on with communication and making sure we were taken care of. Following our engagement photo session she had photos available to us quickly that we could use to start sharing with our families and friends. Everyone we showed was amazed by just how great the photos looked from us to the the composition. Katie has a great way of capturing us while also providing works of art that are great for hanging and decorating. During our engagement session we decided to do throw color powder at each other and it was a fun and playful time for us. Katie was equally as excited and did a great job working with to get this special request captured. Leading up to the wedding day Katie was always right there making sure every detail for the day was figured out well in advance so we did not have to worry about photos on the day of our wedding. She provided guidance on suggested groups of people to take photos and other special moments that we would want to capture. She was very clear about the most efficient way to capture family photos so that we could get to our couples photos and so that our families could get to partying after the ceremony. On the day of we were amazed but just how present she was with all the photos while not being overbearing. We got all the moments we had requested and many that we did not even know to ask for. One of the really special moments that she captured for us was when our 80 year old Grandpa stood up insisting on dancing with our family. Katie hurried from across the dance floor to make sure that she was there to capture that for us. Those are pictures we will treasure for a lifetime and something that could have easily been missed but Katie was there. Throughout the entire process Katie made us feel special and a priority we are so grateful for her and her photos that we will be able to look back and see our special day for the rest of our lifetime. She is an amazing photographer and person, anyone would be beyond lucky to have her capture their once in a lifetime moments.โ€

Hey hey! I'm Becca and Iโ€™m probably the most camera-shy person youโ€™ll ever meet! I admit, becoming a photographer is an interesting choice for someone who isnโ€™t good in front of the camera, but I believe this weakness is the exact reason why Iโ€™ve become a candid and authentic photographer. Since I would hate for anyone I work with to feel uncomfortable, Iโ€™ve perfected the art of making you forget all about the camera. Youโ€™ll get to know me on a personal level and working with me wonโ€™t feel like a business transaction โ€“ but rather like hanging out with a friend who happens to be really good at capturing you just the way you are.

โ€œRebecca was INCREDIBLE! My husband and I get very uncomfortable in front of the camera. Cue Rebecca, photography angel. We booked engagement and wedding photos with her and we are ridiculously happy with all of our photos; they are natural yet stunning AND you can tell we are having fun. Rebecca also was 100% down for anything when our wedding plans changed last minute and rolled with the punches all day on our wedding day (late flowers, late bridesmaids, you name it!) which helped keep me calm and stress free the whole day.

From watching my favorite movie of all time (Titanic) to daydreaming about meeting Prince Charming in a trip across the sea (even if I have to travel back to the 18th century to meet a ruggedly handsome Scotsman *cough cough*- big Outlander fan here.). Iโ€™ve always been in love with love. Fortunately, I've been able to give all of my creative energy and love for the arts to my photography. Iโ€™ve been photographing people on one of the happiest days of their lives for nearly a decade now and I still canโ€™t get enough.

โ€œEmily was amazing from our first consultation to the final delivery of our AMAZING photos! She made us so comfortable at every session and we have received countless compliments on her photos. We recommend to her all of our friends for their weddings!! Canโ€™t say enough good things about her!!โ€

Hi, I'm Jaimie, a documentary-style photographer who captures your wedding day's real, unscripted moments. Planning your wedding should be a joy, not a stress. I work closely with each couple to create a timeline that lets you truly enjoy the day. My approach is simple: document genuine joy, not manufacture moments. I capture each wedding as a series of real, heartfelt experiences so that when you look back, you remember the fun + love, not the stress or staged prompts. I strive to create images that are not just seen but felt. I want your wedding photos to bring back nothing but happy memories of a day filled with celebration.

โ€œI own a photography company and occasionally I contract Jamie to shoot for me. Her work is excellent and is easy to work with. A true professional!!โ€

Hi, Iโ€™m Bryson! A St. Louis, Missouri + Southern Illinois-based wedding, engagement, and portrait photographer and filmmaker for those couples who see the world with wide-eyed amazement, who value the artful nature of their unique stories, and who are always up for a little something new.

โ€œBryson and his team were a joy to work with for our wedding photography. They showed up early and were ready to go, helping make the day run smoothly. Bryson has a knack for putting people at ease while bringing out their best smiles. He called my family and friends by their nicknames, making it feel lighthearted. The photos captured the emotion and special moments without feeling overly posed or cookie-cutter. Bryson went above and beyond to scout locations ahead of time and was open to suggestions that highlighted what made our wedding unique to us as a couple. The final album I have no doubt will tell the story of our wedding day in a creative, meaningful way that we will treasure. We highly recommend Bryson Buehrer Photography for couples who want stunning, artistic photos that authentically capture the spirit of their celebration.โ€

Katie Forbis | St. Louis-based, available anywhere | What I love most about weddings are the people, the relationships, and the emotions - and thatโ€™s exactly what I strive to capture. I'm inspired by light, texture, emotion, movement, and shape. I lightly direct when needed, but when I do I keep it natural and easy. You wonโ€™t see me spending an excruciating amount of time posing people down to the inch. I shoot fluidly and I shoot a lot. My goal is to create beautiful images without over-stepping, over-directing, or wearing you out.

โ€œVein and Vessel was the perfect photographer for our wedding. Katie's communication style and presence is so warm, putting us at ease from our first interaction. The quality of her work is incredible - the photos she captured were both emotional and beautifully composed. She made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and was able to capture amazing, authentic moments throughout our day. We loved that she captured photos of us and our guests that felt natural, in the moment, and not posed. Vein and Vessel exceeded all of our expectations, and we highly recommend her to any couple looking for a talented, personable photographer to document their wedding.โ€
