Dave Moore Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,200
  • Serves Union, MO

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!

Studio 637 Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,550
  • Serves Union, MO

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.

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.

My name is Courtney and I am a wedding and portrait photographer based in the midwest of the United States and available for work worldwide. My inspirations and approach to my work are largely influenced by my studies in filmmaking, my deep appreciation for the nostalgic, my curiosity for nuance, and my strong personal relationship with love and friendship.

Awarded Best of Zola
Courtney is by far my favorite wedding photographer in the midwest region. She is the full package - low-key, relaxing to be around, friendly, and a brilliant creative genius. :) If you create the day, she is there to capture it in all of its glory: head down, behind the lens, sneaking all of those behind-the-scenes- moments you will hold dear. She is a skilled portrait photographer but doesn't forget the details. She is caring to her clients and fellow vendors. By the end of the day, you'll be asking for her number so you can go out for drinks next week. She is like the friend you've always known, yet she is able to keep her professionalism high all day. When you get your photos delivered... you'll know exactly what I mean! Hire her!!

Visual storytelling is our jam, and creating photographs that really make you feel something is essential to us. We are based in St. Louis, MO and available for travel worldwide.

Awarded Best of Zola
Let's just say that Kara is exactly the type of person you want by your side on wedding day (and throughout the wedding planning process)! My new husband and I got to know Kara & Daniel very well, as we were a Covid couple and had to postpone our wedding for a year. From the moment I met with Kara through our wedding album, I can say with confidence: she is extremely organized, superb with communication, an incredibly talented photographer & goes above and beyond as your right-hand-woman on wedding day. Definitely do your engagement session with Kara & Daniel - our engagement photos were stunning and perfect to use for save the dates, invites, & wedding day decor. When Covid hit, Kara was super supportive and empathetic. She allowed me to lean on her to talk through the rescheduling process. When we picked back up a year later, it was like we hadn't missed a beat. She is SO helpful in creating a day-of timeline and communicating with vendors. She also diligently kept an eye on the weather & covid protocols and developed plans B, C, D, etc. for anything that popped up. Kara was always there to reassure us that everything would be amazing! And, it most certainly was. On the wedding day, everything was flawless. My new husband and I literally floated through the day. We sat back and watched the events unfold knowing that Kara was there to capture all the special moments. The bulk of photos we took before the wedding/reception and we finished earlier than expected because Kara & Daniel had everything ready to go (as well as umbrellas & several weather apps to be sure we wouldn't get stuck in a summer storm). During the wedding is where Kara really exceeded any expectation I had for a photographer - she just stepped in and helped me in every way. She held my train, changed my shoes, worked with our planner & DJ, played interference when I was swarmed by guests, and calmed my nerves when I got anxious. She is so enthusiastic and kind, but on wedding day she got down to business! That's exactly what you want when you're corralling family & rowdy guests. Oh, and the photos? They are jaw-droppingly gorgeous! We look like celebrities and the quality of her photographs are extraordinary. Thank you Kara & Daniel for everything over these past two years - we'll be forever grateful we had you by our side through the whole process & there to ensure we had (& will remember!) our best day ever!

  • Serves Union, MO

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.

I can't say enough good things about Cassidy. I looked through over 100 photographer websites and portfolios and was drawn to Cassidy's photography immediately. I could tell that her shots were thoughtful and full of intention and her editing style was vivid and moody yet still very light which I really liked. I showed my partner my top picks and he was also immediately drawn to Cassidy's photos, too, so even though she was a little out of our price range, we thought she would be worth it and she absolutely was! She was flexible with our budget, which we really appreciated. Cassidy was communicative, reliable and clearly experienced. She majored in photography in college which was a big plus for us. She kept us on schedule, worked really well with our videographer and took really beautiful pictures of our wedding. During the wedding, I hardly noticed she was there, which made for some really sweet, candid photos. She captured my husband and I stealing glances and all the idiosyncrasies of our guests. She also got really great detail shots of the decor and our venue. I love looking through our gallery and can't wait to hang up some of our wedding photos. Overall, Cassidy was an absolute gem to work with and is honestly just a really awesome human being. My husband and I would highly recommend her to anyone!

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!!

Hi, I’m Bryson! A St. Louis, Missouri + Southern Illinois-based wedding, engagement, and portrait photographer and filmmaker for those couples who see the world with wide-eyed amazement, who value the artful nature of their unique stories, and who are always up for a little something new.

Bryson and his team were a joy to work with for our wedding photography. They showed up early and were ready to go, helping make the day run smoothly. Bryson has a knack for putting people at ease while bringing out their best smiles. He called my family and friends by their nicknames, making it feel lighthearted. The photos captured the emotion and special moments without feeling overly posed or cookie-cutter. Bryson went above and beyond to scout locations ahead of time and was open to suggestions that highlighted what made our wedding unique to us as a couple. The final album I have no doubt will tell the story of our wedding day in a creative, meaningful way that we will treasure. We highly recommend Bryson Buehrer Photography for couples who want stunning, artistic photos that authentically capture the spirit of their celebration.

We "Double Dog Dare" you to find a photographer that is more fun than us. Finding a cheap photographer is easy. Finding a great photographer is a little bit harder. Finding an awesome photographer that works within your budget but still gets you the $10K shot of the day... now that's hard. We want you to shop around and certainly take the time to talk to multiple photographers. We may not be the one and that's OK. After the party's over, the food is forgotten, the flower's fade, and the dress is cleaned and stored, you have your pictures. Why chance a $500 photographer with your memories?

I've been in the DJ business for over 25 years, and my DJ company Porta Party DJs has worked thousands of weddings. Mirage Photo consistently stands out head and shoulders above all other photography companies for three simple reasons: 1. They are fun 2. They are professional 3. They provide an incredible product. Many photographers are notorious for being too pushy/controlling when trying to get photos done. Although there sometimes can be a need for that, Mirage Photo earns the respect of their clients (and wedding party) up front so there's no need for lots of drama and stress. Their easy-going attitude and fun demeanor are why we always recommend Mirage Photo any and all of our clients who are looking for a professional photographer. If they are available and within your budget, you need to book them ASAP.

I did a lot of research to find a wedding photographer. I do a lot of research for everything, but I felt like it was especially important because if I’m paying so much for a wedding, I want all of the details chronicled beautifully so those memories can last forever. It was really important for me that the pictures looked super natural and not overly editted as if I was right back in the moment when I looked at them. Ivory Grove let me look at several of their photographers’ portfolios since I was worried they might have different styles. They were all very similar and beautiful, but I did like Erika’s the most and they set me up with her. Erika took our engagement photos and our wedding photos and she did a PHENOMENAL job. She got every angle of every moment, and a lot of my guests mentioned how impressed they were that she was getting on the ground for some shots, setting up lighting, and orchestrating everyone to make sure I got all the photos I requested. Ivory Grove finished editing the photos she took in only 2 weeks, and the album they sent has sooo many photos in it. I should have known because I got a lot of engagement photos back as well, but I was just blown away by the amount of gorgeous photos they gave me. It’s also so easy for me to download them onto my phone or computer. The investment was well worth it, but also they were more affordable than a lot of other photographers I’d looked into! Anyway, I can’t say enough good things about Erika, Lindsey, and anyone else who reached out throughout the planning process. Thank you Ivory Grove 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 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!

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.

On our wedding day, their incredible attention to detail was evident in the stunning photos they captured. They were constantly checking in with us throughout the reception to make sure we were getting all the shots we wanted.
