Hi, I’m Brenna! For a decade, I’ve been photographing weddings, newborns, and families in my hometown of Mt. Sterling, Illinois and I’m always up for traveling to shoot in new places! My photography style is clean and bright so my clients have images that will always feel timeless. I’m a fast talker and energetic when I shoot – because I’m loving what I do! My job is to share everyone’s best moments with them and then hand them beautiful photos to relive whenever they want. I still look forward to every single wedding, family shoot, and newborn session!

So easy to work with and really takes her time to make whatever you want happen. Great communication and excellent photos every time!

Just like you, I have felt awkward in front of the camera. I’ve had photos taken of me that I didn’t like. When you go on a session with me, I will not only make you feel comfortable, but I will make sure you look good! I will give you prompts to keep you moving and laughing. I’m sorry but there are some angles, and poses that are not flattering for everyone. Like, please don’t take a photo of me from below! Hello double chin! What I’m saying is, I got you!

Lacie made our wedding day the weeks leading up to it so enjoyable and stress free. As I stressed about our timeline for the day, Lacie sat down with me and figured every detail out & made it seem so easy & I was so happy with everything we discussed! On the day of, she arrived early to take pictures of the girls getting ready & had the help of her husband to take pictures of the boys, and they were both so amazing. They were so present and fun to work with at the wedding, all while making sure we stayed on schedule! We even got some sneak peeks back like the next day, which made us so happy. They exceeded our expectations with the high quality of pictures they were able to get. They’re both simply amazing and such kind & fun people, we can’t thank them enough for making our day perfect! They fit in so well with all of our crazy family and friends, it seemed like they were just there to enjoy our day with us! I highly recommend them for ANY picture needs:)

You are probably assuming my about me section will have a story about how I always wanted to be a photographer, I came out of the womb holding a camera, but that couldn’t be me. I stumbled into it, literally. I had no plans to become a wedding photographer. I was either going to follow my dad’s path and go to dental school, or become a social worker. But a freshman in college decided to shoot a few photos for fun, and now over eight years and almost 200 weddings later, I could not imagine myself doing anything else. This is my dream job!

Capturing wedding days is my bliss. We may start as strangers but throughout the process, many couples consider me a friend and I take care of my friends. I set out to make sure that the day is captured exactly how you envisioned it. I won't over-edit, I have an eye for anticipating special moments before they happen and capture them with style.

Tiffany was amazing! She came to my house in the morning to take pictures of the girls, then went to where my fiancé was getting ready to take his pictures, and then met us at the venue. She was very punctual and friendly. Tiffany is SUPER easy to work with and her prices are very reasonable. The photos came out amazing! My fear was that the photos would be “over edited” since I have seen that before. However, Tiffany made my photos look very professional and captured my vision 100%! My wedding photos are high quality, natural looking photos which I love! If I could go back, I would not hesitate to use Tiffany again.

Ally was awesome to work with. She was really nice, very professional, affordable, she communicated clearly and quickly, and she was great at making us look good. We are pretty terrible at taking photos ourselves, but she managed to make us look great. We are so happy with how these turned out. And she was so quiet and sneaky during the ceremony that I didn't see her once. Granted, I was getting married, but she got some great shots without getting in the way of the ceremony. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an event photographer.

Now that’s out the way, I'm Jovan Kiah, specializing in wedding and portrait photography located somewhere in the cornfields of Indiana.

Hello hello! My name is Marie and I am the owner and photographer for Wild Elegance. We are a brand for adventurers, for lovers of life, and genuine people who love those little moments between the moments in life and seek out truth over perfection. Your marriage is unique because of the relationships you have with the people you choose to celebrate with. Spending my day with you and your closest family and friends brings me such joy, and creating art out of some of the best moments of your life is something I am truly honored to be a part of for so many.

Knowing how much of a financial investment a wedding photographer was going to be, I did not take my decision lightly. I reached out to several companies and had several questions when determining who would be the right fit. And I have to say, Marie was by far the most understanding and compassionate during that process. While many photographers seemed annoyed by the (many) questions I would ask before booking, Marie was patient and very thoughtful with her responses -- she even took time to arrange a phone call with me while traveling! And during that phone call, she made sure I didn't feel rushed and that she answered all questions I had fully, it truly felt like I was talking to a friend. That was when I made the decision to book with Marie. Beyond that, when booking the session for our Engagement photos, she brought several creative and adventurous ideas to the table and had the PERFECT locations to take us to. We had a blast together. I would recommend Marie to anyone looking for a photographer who is friendly, compassionate, accommodating and just a joy to be around.

Shawn took our wedding photos last summer and he did a beautiful job. We felt so lucky to have a photographer who not only prepared us for what to expect but also put us at ease throughout the day. He gave us a ton of creative ideas for photos and was so patient with everyone. He made both our families feel comfortable in front of the camera and that is saying a lot! But what we really loved was how amazing the photos turned out. We were completely wowed at the quality of the photos - he caught everything we wanted and so much more.

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!!

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 shot our Valentine’s elopement in Franklin and was an absolute joy to work with! She was so much fun and kept us both laughing and comfortable despite our nerves. Neither of us enjoy being photographed but Diana made it comfortable and effortless. I cannot recommend her enough!

He made family photos so much fun. She was extremely well organized and kept our wedding day on track. We have recommended him to all of our family and friends that are planning a wedding!

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.

Sarah did an outstanding job capturing my fiancé and I getting engaged, and she was extremely professional throughout the entire process of planning the event with me. She went the extra mile to make sure to get all of the photos that we were looking for and I would highly recommend her for any proposal, engagement session, or wedding!

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!
