Eisley Images 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,800
  • Serves Waterloo, IA for additional fees

At Eisley Images we are actively anti-racist by learning and unlearning our own biases and learned behavior. We are actively trying to make the wedding industry we are a part of more inclusive, kind, and part of the larger discussion at hand. As consumers ourselves, we deeply appreciate knowing WHO we are investing our money in. We want to be upfront and unapologetic about who we are, and what values we deeply believe in.

We reached out to Christy almost immediately after booking our venue (18 months before our wedding), and are so happy we did! We had a great engagement shoot - something we didn't think we needed/wanted but she convinced us that it was worth it and it was! When the pandemic hit, Christy was flexible and kind as we figured out how to change our wedding plans. We decided to have a super small, outdoor wedding at a family house with as many precautions and safety measures as possible and only 12 us total. Christy felt like a member of our family as she captured the most beautiful photos of our day! She was one of the only vendors on our wedding day and we are SO happy she was there with us! On top of Christy's awesomeness as a person, our photos are better than we ever could have imagined! We have the most beautiful photos to remember our intimidate wedding by and will cherish forever. Our family members who attended love them, too - and having such beautiful images to share with our friends and family who couldn't attend has been so great. Our wedding day was so much better than we could have imaged, and having Christy capture our day made it even better!

Greetings! I’m Phil, a passionate and creative photographer based in the vibrant city of Chicago. With a lens as my canvas, I specialize in capturing the essence of moments that tell unique stories. From the picturesque lakeside to the heart of the city, I specialize in crafting timeless engagement and wedding photos that reflect the love and joy of couples saying, "will you marry me?" and "I do" in Chicago. Chicago’s skyline is a masterpiece, and I take pride in capturing its grandeur. My architectural photography brings out the unique character of each building, from historic landmarks to modern skyscrapers.

Phil did an AMAZING job photographing our wedding. He strategized with us in the weeks before to plan which shots would be the most meaningful. And the day of the wedding he was the most patient accommodating and kindhearted photographer you could wish for. We are SO happy with how the photos turned out and would hire him again in a heartbeat. Thank you Phil!

We are a collaboration of photographers and editors bringing together unique ideas and electrifying energy. We are eager and excited to work with couples on one of the most exciting days of their lives!

I was approached by Jonathan, the owner, to associate shoot for a client of his. Jonathan attended my first meeting with his clients to ensure everybody was on the same page and continues to do so after dozens of weddings. Their process is very simple and streamlined to make it easy for the clients and the staff. Reflect takes pride in their photographers and editors and it really shows by how they treat them.

Hey, I'm Larissa! (The tiny chick behind the camera probably bossing you around)I am a wedding, portrait and fine art photographer currently based in North-Eastern, Pennsylvania but I love to travel near and far. I enjoy spending time with my friends and family. I am a huge believer that laughter is a cure-all. My little Shih-Tzu, Hope, is an extension of myself and one of my favorite cuddle buddies. I am an adventurer at heart with an incurable case of wanderlust. Car rides at sunset, rainy Sundays, curling up with a book, lattes and heart-to-hearts, and soul soothing music. I'm here for it.

Turning the Page Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $1,500
  • Serves Waterloo, IA for additional fees

Love is absolutely contagious. There's nothing better than the utter joy that comes out of sheer, honest love. Those little butterflies, happy tears, all of it, I can't get enough of it -- I shoot with my heart. My style is saturated & timeless. I want your photos to be just as beautiful today as they are when you share them 20 years from now. I'm constantly chasing beautiful light & those little moments that make day-to-day life extra special. I'm a stickler for details & hustle hard to capture every little, special moment. So, let's get coffee! I wanna hear all about what makes your love special.

I am a videographer who had the pleasure of working with Stacy of Turning the page photography. Sometimes it can be difficult as a videographer to get the results you want when the photographer needs their time with the client as well. Stacy was kind enough to direct a lot of motion-based shots while taking photos. I hardly had to give any direction because Stacy directed her shots with a lot of motion. I got to see the results of her photos too. The results were of the highest quality I would want on my wedding day. It was a pleasure to work with her.
