Emily Novara Photography

  • Classic style

  • Serves Pocahontas, IL

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.

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!!

  • Serves Pocahontas, 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!

Your Story Photo + Cinema

  • Serves Pocahontas, IL

So who's the team behind the experience? Your Story is made up of 4 photographers, Jeremy + Melisa (owners of YS), Jason, and Emily. Together they quite simply love.capturing.the.moments.of.life. More than anything they enjoy the relationships they build with their wedding couples along the way. It's part of the reason why you see the hearts + souls of the people in their photographs. This is way more than a business to them, it's seeing inside the heart of their labor of love!

I found Your Story when I was looking for photographers who were happy to shoot smaller weddings. It was a very small wedding with only immediate family. This gave us even more time for couple photos and now we have so many beautiful shots in different environments. We worked with Jason and he was awesome and so easy to work with. Our pictures came back so fast and they look amazing. I highly recommend Your Story for your wedding big or small!

Heyo! I am a lady (she/her) that adores photography. I describe my style as eclectic classic. I absolutely cover the basics, but add in a lot of fun and creative shots too. I am based out of Central Southern Illinois, but I am willing to travel to any location.

I would only trust Sollie Photography to capture those special moments during such an important event. She is one of the best photographers by far and her calming presence is something you will need during such a crazy and hectic time. I truly am thankful she was there on my big day.

I highly recommend working with Bella for any of your photography needs! You can tell she has a passion for what she does and is so talented. We loved all of our engagement and wedding photos they were all beautifully shot! She gave us a sneak peek 24 hours after and we got our edited versions back so quickly! She is truly impressive. Bella was always very responsive and patient with any of our questions. During our wedding she kept us organized and directed us with confidence which we needed because both my husband and I were a little shy being in the spotlight. Do yourself a favor and book Silva Photography!

We are a husband and wife photography team based in St. Louis MO and available worldwide. We absolutely love what we do! Our main focus is to tell a story through the images we take at your wedding. The day will go by so fast and we want you to have a collection of images to relive each moment. We are always seeking clients who share our more laid back personalities, and enjoy the less traditional posed photos. Our style may not be for everyone and that's ok.

Absolutely one of my favorite vendors/people! If you have the opportunity you should book Rachel. Not a single bad thing to say. She gets it, she goes with the flow, and is genuinely fun to be around.

Emily Nicole Photography

  • Serves Pocahontas, IL

I’ve always been a romantic, a dreamer. From watching my favorite movie of all time (Titanic) to daydreaming about meeting Prince Charming in a trip across the sea (even if I have to travel back to the 18th century to meet a ruggedly handsome Scotsman *cough cough*- big Outlander fan here.). I’ve always been in love with love. Fortunately, I've been able to give all of my creative energy and love for the arts to my photography. I’ve been photographing people on one of the happiest days of their lives for nearly a decade now and I still can’t get enough.

Emily was AMAZING! I couldn’t have imagined our wedding day without her, she made our day such a breeze. Planning a wedding is so stressful, but our pictures were something I did not have to worry about. Her prep work reassured me she knew exactly what I wanted. Our pictures turned out incredible! Not only did she capture our day exactly how I imagined, having her by our side made me at ease. She kept to the timeline, she was efficient, and not to mention a blast to work with! I can’t say enough good things about Emily. If you are anything like me and worry yourself sick, book Emily because you will not worry one bit! She is such a breath of fresh air in the midst of a busy, chaotic day. And after it’s all said and done, you will end up with pictures of your wedding day that make you smile every time you glance at them! Couldn’t ask for anything more.

Jay & Nicole Vega decided to pursue a career together in the art of Photography. Met & married in Chicago in 2013, two people set out on a business venture of a lifetime. While Nicole is the main photographer of the company, we have also expanded and hired reliable, talented photographers to work along side with us, while still maintaining a small business feel.

Awarded Best of Zola
Finding and working with Nicole was one of the best decisions I could have ever made for mine and my husbands wedding. Nicole from day one made sure to make herself available and was so informative. No matter how many questions I had or if I just wanted to update her about something she was always there, literally a friend from a far. Leading up to wedding day Nicole checked in with me and made sure she was current and up to date with all things wedding, she assisted me with the timeline and overall flow of the wedding day and even added in some suggestions. Nicole showed up on wedding day and it was so nice finally meeting her in person after almost a year of Facetime, calls, and texts. I have never met someone more professional. I would recommend Nicole over and over to anyone because she provides such quality in her photos and it was an absolute joy working with her.

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.

Joy Photo and Video provides Wedding Photography and Videography to couples throughout the US. Our photographers and videographers are carefully selected based on our high standards of personality/character, style/quality, gear/equipment, and professionalism. We look forward to meeting and working with you!

Joy Photo and Video was a fantastic choice for our wedding photography and videography needs. They always answered my questions as fast as they could, which put me at ease during the planning process. I loved that I can have access to all the pictures they took, not just the edited ones. The video they put together is amazing - they were able to make it so special in just a few short minutes. The photographer and videographer told us exactly what to do and how to pose, which was so helpful since we didn't know what kind of poses we wanted. The only thing I knew I wanted was some under the veil pictures, and they made sure to get those first. I also loved knowing that if my photographer or videographer were sick that day or something happened, there would be a back-up person there to ensure our day was captured perfectly. Overall, Joy Photo and Video exceeded our expectations and I would highly recommend them to any couple planning their wedding.

I am a uber bubbly, warm hearted, person who loves to order 3 drinks at Dutch Bros and say its for other people but really its just for me. When I am not spending my lifes savings at Dutch Bros, I am professionally following peeps in love and photographing their stories. I am a lover of true crime and murder podcasts!

My mom is originally from Switzerland and my dad from Jamaica, so you know I am always hungry for adventures (and new places to binge eat at).

From the moment we met Ashley Cynthia Photography, we knew we had found our perfect wedding photographer. Their communication style was fun and enjoyable, with constant banter that put us at ease. Ashley and her crew were fantastic, always making sure we were on top of the timeline and getting the exact photos we wanted. They brought out the best in us in every single shot, capturing all the special moments of our day. From Day 1, Ashley passed our vibe check instantly and was always just a text, email or call away, giddy about our nifty and crazy ideas. Her team was incredibly flexible, and we had an absolute blast working with them. We couldn't have asked for a better photographer and videographer to document our wedding - they truly made the experience unforgettable.
