The Talented Photographer was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. From the very first interaction, Alec's communication style was fun, professional, and incredibly personable. He had a true passion for his craft that shone through in every interaction. The quality of Alec's work was absolutely stunning - we got a wonderful variety of candids, formal shots, and editorial-style pictures that captured all the special moments of our day. Alec has an incredible eye for the right shots, and the final photos are absolutely gorgeous. Despite a complicated location schedule that I was worried about, Alec made the whole day seamless, traveling to over 4 different spots to ensure we got all the groupings and special shots we wanted. Alec truly went above and beyond, and we had such a great time working with him. I'm obsessed with the pictures and would give him an 11/10 rating!

Your wedding means much more to us then taking pictures, we're all in on your marriage. When you say “I do” it’s your first act of commitment to each other. Every part of your day is surrounded by those you love and acts in support of marriage. Marriage is much more than butterflies, it’s intentionality. Intentionally fun, intentionally beautiful, intentionally choosing each other through the good times and the bad times. I want to capture your love that you will continue to choose over and over, and the pictures are the greatest piece that you’ll revisit over and over to bring you back to all the emotions of your day!

Awarded Best of Zola
We cannot say enough good things about Keel and Co! We originally chose Trisha to capture our engagement photos because she had a reputation for being great with dogs, and we planned to have ours included. We were not disappointed! She was so great with getting and keeping their attention. A bonus was that she helped me coordinate our outfits for the best look. As the wedding got closer, Trisha was great at keeping us on track with photo lists and planning. She worked so well with our coordinator, and together, and they made sure we had plenty of time to get any and all photos we wanted. Trisha's husband, Josh, is her second shooter, and working with the two of them was so fun! They brought so much energy and calmed the chaos when needed. Our family was impressed with their organization, and our bridal party said it was some of the most fun they've had taking wedding photos. We've gotten half of our photos back so far and are completely over the moon as we wait for the rest. Trisha is truly amazing, as I continue to tell any and all of our friends. We can't recommend Keel and Co enough!

Hi, I'm Jess, and I run Jessica Smith Visual Arts, a professional photography business in the Quad-Cities area! I specialize in many forms of photography that is tailored to you and your theme with top notch quality!

When we were looking for a photographer we were struggling so much to find someone that wouldnt break the bank, but wouldn't deliver crappy pictures either. When we found Jessica Boone Visual Arts, we were so excited to get such a reasonable price. I got even more excited when I spoke with her, because I am telling you, it was some of the best customer service I have ever had. Always willing to answer questions or make time for me whenever I needed whether it was a phone call or email. Jessica Boone did our engagement and our wedding photos. I was absolutely blown away with not only how the pictures turned out but also how patient, helpful, and fun she was!! After seeing only a few of our engagement photos, I knew I needed her for our big day. Jessica worked with me and made sure everything was perfect! (She and her assistant even helped with my dress SEVERAL times throughout the day! Oh, and fixing my husbands crooked bowtie.) All of our guests keep commenting on how jaw-droppingly beautiful our winter wedding photos are. I truly believe Jessica Boone is one of the most creative and talented photographers in the area! She will work with you on your dream photos... whether it's location, style, or simply being great in front of the camera. Thank you again Jessica for the most beautiful photos I get to enjoy forever. We would rate you 100 on a scale of 1-5, seriously.

More than a decade ago, two sisters - knew there had to be a better way to allow talented photographers and videographers to focus on what they do best -- create gorgeous art -- while providing couples with better support in the planning process. Together, they created an all-inclusive, stress-free environment where couples can choose from talented local photographers and videographers and work with a small team of planning experts equipped and eager to make everything a success. With the pressure gone, you can truly enjoy your big day. Relax and rest assured that all the emotional and moments will be documented with unmatched quality.

We definitely recommend OLAS. Our favorite photos from the day were our fun wedding party pictures! Everything was explained clearly during the planning process and we wouldn’t change anything from the day. We received our wedding day photo gallery promptly at the time we were expected and it was a good surprise on our honeymoon.

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!

Awarded Best of Zola
Lacie was absolutely phenomenal to work with throughout the entire wedding planning process. From the moment we jumped on a phone call to see if they were a right fit, I knew they would be. Her enthusiasm, understanding, outgoing way that she relates to people is an energy that you want on your big day. Our engagement session was incredible, she moves so quickly but efficiently, as to ensure you get all the shots you want, but is very mindful of time. Our wedding day was COMPLETE because of Lacie. In addition to her positive attitude, she helped smooth the timeline of events during the day when exterior factors were impacting the photography, and problem solved so wonderfully on the spot. She stepped in to help in moments that were above and beyond what we hired her for, and for that I am truly grateful. Her photography style is versatile and beautiful, specifically catered to your preference. I can't imagine a better photographer for our wedding and we are so grateful!

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.

Isaac did a wonderful job photographing our backyard wedding. He did a brilliant job capturing my visions as well as brought ideas of his own. We are very grateful we were able to book Isaac for our wedding, he truly immortalized the day and we have so many beautiful photos to reflect on for the rest of our lives.

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!

Awarded Best of Zola
Abby wasn’t able to travel to my wedding but she sent her assistants and she edited the photos. It went absolutely perfect. The photos were beautiful and I got so many meaningful photos with my family and his family that I wouldn’t have thought to get. I sent her draft of a timeline and the photographers printed it out and had it to make sure the photos I wanted got done. They were absolutely amazing. Thank you so much to Abby and her team.
