Brendan Batchelor Photography

  • Serves Gillespie, 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.

WOW! So easy to work with, constantly adapting to make sure you always feel comfortable and confident, and providing high-quality photos time after time. We have hired Batchelor Photography for both our engagement photos and wedding photos, and he did NOT disappoint. The morning of our engagement shoot, it was extremely overcast, as it had been sprinkling on and off all morning. However, looking through our photos, Brendan expertly made it look like a beautiful sunset! For our wedding he was super communicative, met with us beforehand to make sure he knew what our wants and needs were, and even helped answer some wedding related questions we had just from his experience working in the wedding industry.

Brea Photography 

5.0

  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $3,750
  • Serves Gillespie, IL

I have been photographing for 18 years (!!!) and I still cry at weddings! I love that I have the rare pleasure of being present to witness some of the most significant moments in my clients' lives. Whether that be the birth of a child, the celebration of a wedding, a family growing year after year, or a small business sharing what they love - I am honored to have celebrated so many magical moments with my clients since 2007 and I greatly look forward to all I will see in the years to come. My style is narrative, artful and real. I love in-between moments, the tone of light at sunset & capturing candid images from surprising perspectives.

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! :)

  • Serves Gillespie, 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.

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.

I am a Chicago-based wedding + elopement photographer. I am available worldwide and love to travel! I document genuine moments for couples, no matter who they love. My images are the perfect mix of posed and photojournalistic, giving you gorgeous portraits without missing the important, candid moments you will want to remember for years to come. My approach to wedding days is simple: I want to make sure you have images of you two that you love and cherish and tell your wedding day story.

Awarded Best of Zola
I came across Tawny a few years ago when she was tagged on another Instagram page that I followed. I was immediately drawn to her style, and her inclusiveness as a photographer. I knew someday, when the time came for me to get married, that Tawny would be on the short list. After getting engaged and beginning our vendor search, Tawny's attention to detail, and personalization of her services stood out amongst all the other inquiries we sent out. Something as simple as the personalized video she sent us after our initial inquiry, detailing her packages and what she felt would be best based on what we were looking for. When we finally met for our engagement shoot this past February, we had an instant connection! Tawny was so inclusive, and captured our vision so perfectly that we could not wait until wedding day! This past weekend, we had the pleasure of spending the entire day with her, and as a bride, the biggest piece of advice I can give other brides is to choose vendors who you vibe with, and want to spend your whole day with! I would get married a million times over if Tawny was going to be on my team!

Awarded Best of Zola
2020 was a difficult year for many reasons, but weddings were especially tough to make happen in this calendar year. But what made it even more difficult was having to plan 2 different weddings. The first being a 10 month planned wedding in Joshua Tree, California, until we had to cancel it due to COVID in November a month before it was supposed to happen. My now husband and I scrambled to reset for a smaller ceremony in Illinois instead to allow at least his family to attend and have it at his sister's home in Huntley, IL. We only had one month to reset. One of the most important things for us was photography, and although we had spent most of our savings on the cancelled wedding and we had no hope in recovering most of that back or even soon enough to help with the 2nd wedding, we knew we had to put forth the money and make the right choice for a photographer to document our day as best as possible so that our love ones who couldn't make it could experience that day through the right lens. Justin Vaughn of JVaughn Photography LLC was the right lens and so much more! He worked very closely with us via online google meetings, with a minor setback, which was we couldn't have an in person engagement photo session with him (since we were based in Wyoming and wouldn't arrive in Illinois until closer to the ceremony). Justin prefers to complete an engagement photo session, which comes already included in a lot of his packages, before the wedding to get to know us as a couple and make sure we get the shots we prefer. However even without the engagement session, through our online meetings, we were able to discuss who we are and Justin had that personal touch as though we were talking to an old friend. We established the narrative and story telling that we hoped to have for the day. Justin took detailed notes and had a list of shots to take for the day. But his improvisation and artistic eye was also excellent and he captured moments that we had never thought of that were so beautiful and amazing. In addition to the photography he also did minor videography to provide us a highlight reel, which was beyond what we expected! Throughout the day he was also very much a ninja in capturing the right moments beautifully without obstructing the views of guests present. I would recommend him for any photography need, he truly is an artist that captures the moments you wanted and so much more!

As someone who has a tendency to over think everything, I was initially very overwhelmed with finding a photographer. Linda was amazing. I reached out for information and within a few hours (honestly I think it was within the hour) I had a full break down of pricing, expectations, availability, and a follow up of making sure I had access to see some work before booking. Within a day, we had our contract worked out and a meeting scheduled to go over any missing details. Day of the wedding, she was prompt, full of ideas, and worked with the flow of the day seamlessly. Even when I received photos (faster than expected!) I could tell she left the wedding and was already working on photos based on a few time stamps I caught in files. I was sent a link to a beautiful gallery and got to cry all over again reliving the day. She even made to follow up that there were no issues with the link and if everything was to my liking. 10/10 would ABSOLUTELY recommend!! I cannot wait to have these photos on display in my home and loved for years to come!

Luna Lion Photo Co. were an absolute joy to work with for our wedding! From the moment we first spoke with Kayti, we knew we were in good hands. She has such a friendly, knowledgeable, and fun communication style that immediately put us at ease. On the day of, Kayti was a calming presence and so much fun to be around, while still remaining incredibly professional. The final photos were truly stunning - the edit style is amazing and the poses felt so natural. We were blown away by the quality of their work, from our engagement shoot to the welcome party and everything in between. It honestly felt like we could be friends if we lived closer!

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.

My husband and I can't recommend Kaitlyn enough. From the booking process, our engagement shoot, through the wedding itself Kaitlyn was thoughtful, professional, and attentive to our preferences and requests. She even drove 3 hours to do our engagement shoot in Wisconsin and was able to film our ceremony on her own! Her sneak peek the next day made us so so happy, and she got every photo on our list, including some out of order or spontaneous based on how the day went. We couldn't have been happier with Kaitlyn's services! Rachel & Alex
