My name is Halee Shearhart and I was born and raised in a little place I like to call the Lou (St. Louis if you didn’t know). I am all about that Imo’s Pizza, those T-Ravs and Syberg’s Wings.

The first time I met Bailey was at my engagement shoot on my farm. I’ve had plenty of sessions with family and individual photographers, so I am comfortable in front of the camera, but my future husband is not at all. Bailey gave great instruction and made us both feel relaxed during our session. Can’t wait for the wedding next year!

From the first meeting to engagement photos, rehearsal and wedding day, all the way to final edits Elizabeth was professional, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. She communicates clearly and promptly and has great insight when we asked her about anything. Kyle was a great videographer and support to Elizabeth and Lindsay was amazing as the second shooter making sure two brides were fully covered. Our photos are absolutely stunning and we will cherish our wedding video forever. Our full gallery was delivered two weeks early and our preview was up before we woke up the day after our wedding! They were able to work within our budget and are by far one of my favorite vendors we used. We will absolutely use them in the future for any photography needs and I will recommend them to everyone.

I've been capturing the magic of weddings for over 10 years. My deep love for love, rooted in my faith, drives me to preserve the beautiful moments that make your day special. When I'm not behind the camera, I’m enjoying life with my husband, our two kids, and two pups. I’m committed to delivering exceptional work and creating a joyful, stress-free experience. My goal is to make you feel at ease so you can fully enjoy your day, knowing every meaningful moment is captured with care.

Your photographer is your most important wedding vendor. It’s the only way to relive your big day once it’s done. Keshia photographed my sister’s wedding, and I knew I absolutely had to book her for mine. She not only captured gorgeous intimate moments that happened throughout the day, but she was professional, confident, and on-schedule when organizing bridal party and family photos. Truly, you are getting the full package when working with Keshia. My husband and I were able to spend more treasured one-on-one time together on our wedding day because of Keshia. Also, my wedding photos are some of the last photos I have of my mom, who passed away a few months after I was married, and I am so grateful that Keshia went above and beyond to capture so many beautiful documentary-style moments between my family that I will have forever.

My husband is my second photographer, so we come as a photo team! 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 so you look and feel natural and comfortable. 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!

PictureMeThisByLacie was one of the best decisions we made throughout the wedding process. Lacie was amazing to work with the entire time. She was easy to communicate with and kept us updated on our photo timelines, not to mention all of our photos turned about AMAZING. Our package included an engagement session and Lacie worked out a weekend she was already in Chicago to accommodate us. Leading up to our session, we had issues with controlled fires and protests in our preferred location, but Lacie found us a spot that blew my expectations for photos out of the water. She gave us a sneak peak and also got our pictures back to us super quick. On our big day, Lacie and Tim(her husband/second photographer) were the best to work with. They made us feel comfortable and captured our day better than we could have imagined. As soon as they got there, they got straight to work. Lacie got all the details and getting ready photos that I will cherish forever. Things were running behind the day of and they let us add on an hour to our contract the day of and pay at a later date. This ensured that we got dance floor photos and it was so worth it! Specifically getting pictures of my husband's grandmother in her 80s dancing with all her grandkids. We received a sneak peak very quickly and our whole (massive) gallery less than 2 months after the wedding. For as many photos as we got, this was a crazy quick turn around. Overall, PictureMeThisByLacie captured our day better than we could have ever imagined, we could not recommend them more!

I'm a professional wedding photographer in Wichita, KS & Beyond. I love what I do, so you'll always find me smiling and being silly while making you guys laugh. Choosing a wedding photographer is a huge deal. I go above & beyond for my clients because the last thing I want is for you to end up with photos that you don't love. My promise to you is to make sure I put the same care into taking your photos that I would want someone to do for me.

I’ve worked with Saindy a few different times before my wedding. I did a family/engagement shoot, and a couple photo shoots with her that I did hair for. LOVED her work so of course I had to have her do my wedding! She’s lots of fun, knows wonderful/fun poses, and her quality of awesome.

Ever since I can remember, I've been captivated by the power of a single moment to tell a whole story. As a wedding photographer, I get to capture those fleeting, special moments that make each couple's love story unique. With over 4 + years of experience, I blend artistry with technical skill to create images that are not only beautiful but deeply meaningful.

Caleb was fantastic to work with. From the very beginning, he had excellent communication(from the time we booked him for our wedding.) Caleb made sure to touch base constantly to make sure everything was going good, and to see if we needed anything from him, and to send him any photo ideas we had. He was punctual to the wedding, and his professionalism and laid back style, was perfect for us and our wedding. By the time we got home from our wedding reception, he had already sent us some edited photos. Caleb’s editing style also matches the look we were after. He always had pose suggestions for us, constant ideas for how to take group shots large or small. He made us, our family and our wedding guests VERY comfortable. I would highly recommend hiring Caleb for your wedding, or any event.

I love capturing people in their very human moments. Images that really resonate with me are those which capture the essence of a person, a relationship, or just raw emotion. I search to photograph moments in which people reveal who they really are. This drive affects everything I do. Weddings are a breeding ground for these types of moments and emotions. Honest love, friendship, and joy. This is why I have chosen to specialize in this type of photography, because it speaks to me in a way than nothing else does.

Yes, my name is actually Zola. I am a photographer of over 7 yrs. Engagements, and weddings are by far my favorite. I mean, besides that I love wedding cake, I love being able to create and preserve memories unique to YOU. I guess that is why all my photos are not cookie cut or the same. See, I am a former DIY bride (omg that was stressful!) and so I make it a point to get to know my couples, their story, and vision. I am there for all of it. I want to be in the stressful planning, I even love creating timelines for the event, cause honey we are not rushing and sweating on wedding day.

Awarded Best of Zola
We had a wonderful experience with ZLuna Photography. We booked them for 8 hours of photography for our wedding and reception in Plano, TX. Nadia (owner/photographer) was the perfect person to document our memories. We highly recommend her for her positive energy, clear communication, helpful organization, attention to detail, and of course her amazing photography. Vibe & Energy Nadia was a joy to work with. We loved her positive and fun energy from our first meeting. She's a people person with an outgoing personality and vibe that makes you feel comfortable. Her personality made it easy to interact with guests and get fun photos out of them. During moments of anxiety, she brought much needed positivity and encouragement to remain calm and focus on each other. As an ICU nurse, she knows how to keep cool, communicate clearly, and help navigate stressful situations. Her team also brought the same great energy and positivity. Nothing but good vibes working with the ZLuna Photography team! Communication Before, during and after our wedding day, communication was clear. In our first consultation, Nadia got to know us and our story as couple. She listened to our vision for our wedding and expressed her vision as a photographer. She listened to our concerns and was real about her own. She asked lots of questions to ensure she photographed everything we wanted. Prior to the day, she checked in with us over video chat and text. On our wedding day Nadia was friendly, funny, and upbeat while working hard and clearly communicating what she needed from us. Nadia and her team worked well with our coordinator, vendors, and guests. After our wedding, Nadia reached out via text to congratulate us again and provide a timeline when to expect final photos. She even sent us a highlight video previewing our photos the next day, which was a thoughtful surprise. Organization Nadia was incredibly organized in her planning and execution, documenting our wedding timeline and what details would be captured at each point during the day. We chose to plan our wedding ourselves without a wedding planner (very stressful) and were often not as organized as we could have been. Still, Nadia was patient and understanding of our DIY approach and even offered suggestions, ideas and resources to help us. Her websites for booking/invoicing and for viewing/downloading photos were also organized and easy to navigate. Attention to Detail Nadia asked all the right detailed questions to ensure that she captured everything we wanted. We loved the details that were shot in our wedding photos ranging from our attire and accessories, rings, food, cake, venue, décor, etc. Attention to detail was also given to capturing the range of expressions and emotions on our and our guests' faces throughout the day. Nadia and her team got some REALLY memorable, fun, and hilarious shots of us and our guests dancing that we love and still make us laugh. Photography We absolutely love our photos! Nadia's art is stunning and exceeded expectations. We love the effects and filters that were applied, and the way the photographers used small details in the venue décor and lighting to make the photos unique. They did an amazing job of capturing the love, joy, fun, and all the other emotions of the day. When we look at our photos we can't think of any moments, details, people, or feelings on our wedding day that weren't captured in the final photos we received. We highly recommend ZLuna Photography!
