Chloe was an absolute joy to work with for our wedding. Her communication was clear, fun and easy-going, making the entire process really enjoyable. The quality of her work is simply gorgeous - her compositions and use of color are stunning, and she provided great pose suggestions that resulted in beautiful, natural-looking photos. Chloe captured all the memories we wanted from our engagement shoot and wedding day, as well as so many special moments we didn't even have time to see on our big day. I wouldn't hesitate to work with Chloe again, she's wonderful!

Dave Moore Photography

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

Here’s a small confession: I’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.

Dave was fun to work with. My husband is usually very uncomfortable with getting his picture taken but Dave kept him at ease during our engagement shoot and on the wedding day. He was up for any suggestions but also had a lot of great unique ideas. I live in NY and Dave was flexible in scheduling the engagement shoots around mine and my husband’s travel plans. On the day of the wedding he instantly blended in with our family and friends which lead to amazing photos. I love my photos and highly recommend Dave Moore.

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.

Timeless Imagery & Media was an excellent choice for our wedding photographer. Their communication throughout the process was prompt, effective, and considerate. Heidi and her team made sure to capture all the angles and had the best ideas for creative photos with our family and friends. The quality of their work was superb, and they were incredibly accommodating in bringing our vision to life. The team went above and beyond to ensure the pictures were exactly what we wanted. We are thrilled with the beautiful, lasting memories they were able to provide from our special day.

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 is seriously amazing! We had an instant connection of trust and I knew our photos would be perfect. 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 wouldn’t have been what it was, without her! We love Emily!!

I love working with down to earth couples who want to have a fun, memorable and glam wedding day! Most weddings typically have a tight budget & timeline so I work with both to help make your day as stress free as possible! I put the couple first with everything on their day to ensure we capture as much as possible so you have images you want to share with friends and family to reminisce over for the rest of your life!

We were terribly disappointed when COVID caused us to cancel our 200 person wedding. In the midst of terrible uncertainty (remember those very early days of the pandemic?!) we planned a micro-wedding with just our parents as witnesses. Every bride dreams of her wedding day, and all of the special moments that go with it. We are so incredibly fortunate and thankful that Emily captured every single one. From the detail shots, to the getting ready images - despite our big day looking nothing like we'd originally planned - Emily documented the experience beautifully. After the ceremony, we headed off to key Kansas City landmarks where Emily took the time to pose and primp us so we looked our absolute best. The photos turned out so wonderfully, we got extra large prints that we proudly display in our hearth room. For couples looking for someone who will effortlessly capture the candid moments, and pay close attention to all of the details for those classic posed portraits, Emily Owens Photography is absolutely the right choice!

We had Brooke as our engagement and wedding photographer for our wedding in 2023. We couldn’t have been happier with our experience. Brooke was professional, nice, and very caring. She made our wedding day smooth and easy! We didn’t have to worry about different poses or getting family together for pictures, she had it all handled. Our photos turned out amazing. I recommended her to my sister and she did her in April of 2024.

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!

Hey there! my name is Maggie, and I am the Owner + Lead Photographer at Desert Luna Photography! I am 25 years old, and currently reside in Missouri with my husband and our dog, Laika! We love to travel, listen to John Summit, and eat! I have taken photos with a camera since I was 10 years old - and have even won a few awards for one of my photos! I love creating magic through my lens! I am currently on year 7 of taking photos professionally!

Awarded Best of Zola
If you're looking for a photographer for engagement pictures, a wedding photographer, or a photographer for any other occasion - stop looking! My fiance and I were visiting friends in AZ shortly after our engagement and we booked Maggie for an engagement shoot at sunset while we were there. To say that we are are OBSESSED with our pictures is an understatement. Maggie was so knowledgeable about the lighting at that time of day and utilized the whole landscape to get great pictures with different backgrounds, not JUST different poses from us. We didn't stay in the same spot during the session as she continued to create new angles to adjust to as the sun continued to set. I felt comfortable asking "hey can we try this!?" and Maggie was more than willing to get excited with us about capturing the kind of picture we had in our mind. Maggie also gave us alot of direction on how to maybe tilt our head, or move a hand over a little bit, or recognized that the shot wasn't going to be great so she just scratched it and moved to the next idea. This was extra helpful to me because I didn't have to "guess how to model" and I appreciated that she made good use of her and our time. Maggie works quickly to get a variety of poses and landscapes, is willing to travel, and seems to genuinely love what she does. Her excitement and direction made it fun and exciting for us too! 10/10 for our experience with Maggie!

Courtney and Sam were incredible! From the moment we initially interacted with them at the “offwhite wedding” event they were incredibly personable and kind. We quickly became friends while we discussed our wedding and vision for the experience we were hoping to host and experience. They traveled all the way to Louisiana to capture our whole weekend of wedded bliss and fun! We were so pleased with the artistic and candid shots they captured of us and all our loved ones! I would whole heartedly recommend them without hesitation!

  • Serves Godfrey, IL

Hello. I’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. It’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. It’s capturing history - your history.

We hired Michayla as our wedding photographer and still can’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 “in between moments”, 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 Michayla’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!

I’m so glad you’re here! I have 14 years of experience capturing special memories. Being part of such important moments in people’s lives is an honor I never take for granted. Most couples aren’t totally comfortable being photographed. And that’s okay! I use interactive posing and natural prompts to help you laugh, relax, and feel like yourselves. I’ll guide you every step of the way with cues that encourage real smiles and authentic connection. I’m here to make the entire process as stress-free as possible. From helping you plan your timeline to offering vendor recommendations, I’ll be with you every step of the way!

We cannot recommend Sarah enough! From start to finish, she was absolutely incredible. First of all, she made us feel like models throughout the entire day. We were blown away by how she captured our most candid, romantic moments with such artistry. Even though we were both a little nervous in front of the camera, she had an amazing ability to make us feel comfortable and confident. But here's the real magic: the weather wasn’t exactly on our side. The day was hot, humid, and rainy—but Sarah was a true trooper. Not only did she continue working in the rain without skipping a beat, but she turned what could’ve been a disaster into an unforgettable moment. She even caught the most stunning rainbow right after the storm passed, and the portrait she took of us under it was absolutely breathtaking. It’s the kind of shot you’ll cherish forever! We are so grateful for Sarah's patience, positivity, and talent. Every time we look at our photos, we're reminded of how lucky we were to have them as part of our special day. If you're looking for a photographer who can go above and beyond while making you look like you just stepped out of a magazine, look no further than Sarah Oberheim! Truly a photographer who knows how to capture both the big moments and the little, magical details. Thank you for making our wedding day so unforgettable!

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!!

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.

Words can't even begin to express our complete adoration, immense gratitude, and delight in working with Cassidy! We had originally booked her for our larger wedding that was postponed due to COVID-19 and she made the rebooking process so easy and reassured us during a very stressful time. We ended up moving forward with an intimate wedding on our original date and she was the first person we reached out to. She was an absolute dream and source of endless enthusiasm and support as we reimagined and redesigned our day. She totally got our vision and seamlessly integrated into the day to capture everything as it unfolded. She beautifully captured the emotion and joy between us and our families. We love that the photos have that "real life, but better" look that will help us preserve the feeling of the day rather than the stuffy look of traditional wedding photos. Our families can't stop raving about how gorgeous the images are. Cassidy, we love you and are so so appreciative to have had you work your magic! We will cherish these photos for a lifetime.

I really enjoy being there to capture the most important day of people's lives. The reactions when I deliver their photos is priceless.

I cannot say enough words that would describe how thankful I am for Erik! From his welcoming and personable self while meeting at a bridal show, to our engagement session x 2, and our wedding day, Erik was nothing short of AMAZING! We took full advantage of Erik’s “no time limit” that he offers with his photography packages! Our wedding “prep” started the night before at our Welcome Party and continue through our New Year’s Eve wedding until 2am the following morning, and Erik was there for every moment! We also used Apex Studios for our videography, and the communication that Erik had with his 3 assistants ( 2 photo and 2 video) was phenomenal (my wedding planner commented on the communication, as well). Each and every detail that I could ever want is capture in a photo which I am so eternally grateful for! Thank you Erik for your welcoming, heartfelt, and kind self that made my wedding day more than I could have ever imagine! I’m so thankful for ALL that you did and will continuously recommend you to anyone that is looking for a photographer and/or videographer.
