Dave Moore Photography 

5.0

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

Hang around a photographer long enough, and the phrase “rule of thirds” will probably come up. The idea is to keep your subject away from the center of the frame to create more visual interest, and in a way, that’s how I approach all my photo sessions: keeping things ever so left of center. If you need a photographer who can capture the warmth and love (or kooky energy!) of your family, or who’s willing to climb or crawl on and over just about anything to capture that perfect shot on your wedding day, or who can create engagement photos that show you being swept off your feet and into the blue sky above, I’m happy to oblige.

To say just a few words about Dave: You won’t find a gentler soul than this guy. From engagement to reception, he’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 didn’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!

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. I love meeting my couples, hearing all about their love stories, getting to know them - like truly getting to know them (most of my brides consider me one of their friends!). My brides trust I understand their vision and are able to enjoy their wedding day because of the communication leading up to it.

Awarded Best of Zola
Emily Novara Photography provided excellent communication through the entire engagement, wedding planning, and day-of process. Emily even provided a detailed day-of itinerary and revised it as needed as we got closer to the wedding. The quality of their work and overall experience was amazing. Emily is so friendly and we felt so comfortable from the minute we met her. She did an incredible job on the wedding day, arriving early and not only taking amazing photographs and poses, but also keeping us organized and on track the entire day, which was crucial with a party of 20 adults. Emily went above and beyond in every aspect of being our photographer for the wedding day, and I can't picture our wedding day without her. We look forward to having her as our go-to photographer for any future events!

  • Serves Girard, IL

I have been a wedding photographer since 2011 & love being a part of my couple's lives. I enjoy getting to know clients on a personal level so I can really document who they are as people & as a couple. I am one of those people who rarely meets a stranger & love becoming friends with new people wherever I go. On a personal level, I have the cutest mini Aussie who is my pride & joy! I am close with my family & have some of the most wonderful friends.

New 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!!!

Lover of all things photography. I have been a photographer for over 10 years and love what we do. I have an amazing team that helps me out. My husband also second shoots with me. I like to say you get two professionals for the price of one. I try to offer quality at a reasonable cost. I know photography can be daunting for some people and my goal is always to put people at ease.

We had the pleasure of working with Heidi for our wedding, and we couldn’t have been happier with our choice. From the initial consultation to the big day itself, Heidi was professional, personable, and incredibly talented. She captured every special moment with such an artistic eye and attention to detail. The way she managed to blend into the background while still getting those perfect candid shots was amazing. Our wedding album is a treasure trove of memories, beautifully edited and filled with shots that truly reflect the emotions and joy of the day. We especially loved how she made us feel comfortable and at ease in front of the camera, which is no small feat. Her patience and creativity really shone through, and we are beyond grateful for the stunning photos that we will cherish forever. We highly recommend to anyone looking for a wedding photographer who can deliver both exceptional service and breathtaking photos. Thank you for making our day even more memorable!

Lexi Harrington Photography

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,250
  • Serves Girard, IL

It's true what they say — 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!"

My 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 couldn’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!

Remembering our wedding gives me so much peace and joy. It's the most bright memory I have and it contrasts starkly against the darkness of this pandemic. It's so important to me and now, with a wedding video shot and edited by Courtney Lee Photography, I'll never forget it. What a gift, thank you! I have to admit, I've watched our wedding video over 50 times. I swear I'm not insane; Courtney and Sam just did that fantastic of a job.

Awarded Best of Zola
Katie 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.

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!!

I know it is the most incredible experience having everyone you love together in one place to celebrate you. Aside from the births of my babies, my wedding was the best day ever. But being a mom has made me appreciate photography the most — I know how fleeting time is and how important it is to have printed memories of those you love dearly. Tomorrow isn’t promised and I want to document you with your favorite people as they are today.

As a wedding planner, I have the opportunity to work with some exceptional vendors and Cassidy is on this list! She is professional, kind and easy to work with on behalf of the clients and through the details and changes that come with wedding planning. On the day she is prompt, classy, discrete and confident in directing wedding party members to get the best shots. I look forward to working with Cassidy again and will continue to recommend her to my clients.

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

Rebecca 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. Hire her, hire her right this second!!

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.

I 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!!

Kenessey Studios is a mid to high end wedding & portrait photographer based in St. Louis MO. We have been working in the St. Louis area for several years now and really enjoy the people and venues in the area. Our style of shooting is a mixture of candid and posed shots that I think covers the bases for a large percentage of clients.

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. They are a beautiful reminder of love we felt on our wedding day.

Hi, I'm Lisa, fine art wedding & portrait photographer. A Saint Louis native, a proud mom of two beautiful girls and an avid traveler. Someone who just loves love! I enjoy love stories and shooting weddings here in Saint Louis and everywhere.

Lisa has such a positive, friendly and fun personality. Our whole wedding party and our families would agree that it was enjoyable to spend time with her throughout the entire day/weekend of events. She kept the timeline moving smoothly and captured all of our details and moments. I'm thankful that we have these images to hold onto the memories. Her style is high-quality and authentic, and we are so grateful to her for documenting our special day!

Katie Forbis | St. Louis-based, available anywhere | What I love most about weddings are the people, the relationships, and the emotions - and that’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 won’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.

Vein 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.

My wife and I met Catherine at a wedding show and we hit it off right off the bat. She and her assistant were super friendly and easy to talk to and we got along great. Leading up to the wedding day, she put together a timeline of the pictures and helped us get everything in order. Once the day came, she was super helpful and got amazing photos that’ll last a lifetime. She’s top notch and a great person to work with. We can’t wait to have a baby so she can capture those moments for us.
