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.

I started my business after my mother had passed away from pancreatic cancer. She knew I could make a name for myself capturing people’s memories for them. And she was right!

K.M. Goodson Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with on our wedding day. From the very beginning, their communication style was relatable, relaxing, and fun - it felt like we were working with a close friend rather than a vendor. On the day of, the photographer not only captured every beautiful detail with incredible skill, but also went above and beyond to ensure I was taken care of. They checked in with me throughout the day to make sure I was happy, fed, and on schedule. It was like having a best friend there to make sure my wedding day went exactly as planned. I couldn't have asked for a better experience with any photographer. K.M. Goodson Photography truly made our special day unforgettable.

Dave Moore Photography 

5.0

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

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.

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!

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 Novara Photography provided excellent communication through the entire engagement, wedding planning, and day-of process. Emily even provided a detailed day-of itinerary and revised it as needed as we got closer to the wedding. The quality of their work and overall experience was amazing. Emily is so friendly and we felt so comfortable from the minute we met her. She did an incredible job on the wedding day, arriving early and not only taking amazing photographs and poses, but also keeping us organized and on track the entire day, which was crucial with a party of 20 adults. Emily went above and beyond in every aspect of being our photographer for the wedding day, and I can't picture our wedding day without her. We look forward to having her as our go-to photographer for any future events!

I can't even begin to put into words how amazing Emily is. She has years of experience with wedding photography and it shows. I had never been a part of planning a wedding before so I felt very naive while planning my own wedding. Emily made herself very accessible and was there to answer any questions I had. She also handled everything day of to make sure we were on track and getting all of the pictures we wanted. She took control and delivered the most amazing pictures of our special day. She was friendly, professional and a lot of fun!

  • Classic style

  • Serves Washington, MO

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!

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!

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.

I would whole heartedly recommend them without hesitation!

Michayla Slone Photo

  • Starts at $4,800
  • Serves Washington, MO

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!

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!

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.

As a wedding planner, I have the opportunity to work with some exceptional vendors and Cassidy is on this list! She is professional, kind and easy to work with on behalf of the clients and through the details and changes that come with wedding planning.

  • Serves Washington, MO

Hey hey! I'm Becca and I’m probably the most camera-shy person you’ll ever meet! I admit, becoming a photographer is an interesting choice for someone who isn’t good in front of the camera, but I believe this weakness is the exact reason why I’ve become a candid and authentic photographer. Since I would hate for anyone I work with to feel uncomfortable, I’ve perfected the art of making you forget all about the camera. You’ll get to know me on a personal level and working with me won’t feel like a business transaction – but rather like hanging out with a friend who happens to be really good at capturing you just the way you are.

We wanted someone that got what we were doing, and understood our personalities. We're laid back and fun-loving people but we still work hard and we hoped for great results from whoever we chose as a photographer. Rebecca was exactly that! Fun and easy-going, which led to GREAT candids, but also incredibly hard working, detail oriented, and diligent to get great photos despite very limited time. Because of this, we not only had those fantastic candid photos that were important to John and me, but we also had great formal shots with our families that were important to our parents and grandparents.

Kenessey Studios is a mid to high end wedding & portrait photographer based in St. Louis MO. We have been working in the St. Louis area for several years now and really enjoy the people and venues in the area. Our style of shooting is a mixture of candid and posed shots that I think covers the bases for a large percentage of clients.

Shawn took our wedding photos last summer and he did a beautiful job. We felt so lucky to have a photographer who not only prepared us for what to expect but also put us at ease throughout the day. He gave us a ton of creative ideas for photos and was so patient with everyone. He made both our families feel comfortable in front of the camera and that is saying a lot! But what we really loved was how amazing the photos turned out. We were completely wowed at the quality of the photos - he caught everything we wanted and so much more. They are a beautiful reminder of love we felt on our wedding day.

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.

Katie Forbis | St. Louis-based, available anywhere | What I love most about weddings are the people, the relationships, and the emotions - and that’s exactly what I strive to capture. I'm inspired by light, texture, emotion, movement, and shape. I lightly direct when needed, but when I do I keep it natural and easy. You won’t see me spending an excruciating amount of time posing people down to the inch. I shoot fluidly and I shoot a lot. My goal is to create beautiful images without over-stepping, over-directing, or wearing you out.

Vein and Vessel was the perfect photographer for our wedding. Katie's communication style and presence is so warm, putting us at ease from our first interaction. The quality of her work is incredible - the photos she captured were both emotional and beautifully composed. She made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and was able to capture amazing, authentic moments throughout our day. We loved that she captured photos of us and our guests that felt natural, in the moment, and not posed. Vein and Vessel exceeded all of our expectations, and we highly recommend her to any couple looking for a talented, personable photographer to document their wedding.

My wife and I met Catherine at a wedding show and we hit it off right off the bat. She and her assistant were super friendly and easy to talk to and we got along great. Leading up to the wedding day, she put together a timeline of the pictures and helped us get everything in order. Once the day came, she was super helpful and got amazing photos that’ll last a lifetime. She’s top notch and a great person to work with. We can’t wait to have a baby so she can capture those moments for us.
