SAJ Media Group 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $300
  • Serves Alton, IL

With over 6 years of experience and 4 years shooting professionally, I bring passion, flexibility, and a strong customer service background to every session. I began in nature and architecture photography before discovering my love for capturing people. Since then, I’ve photographed weddings, concerts, corporate shoots, and events for brands like Title Boxing and Mercedes of Chesterfield. My portfolio includes maternity, engagement, senior portraits, boudoir, and charity events such as Pedal the Cause and 5 Acres Animal Shelter.

We have worked with SAJ Media Group for some of the most special milestones in our lives — our engagement, wedding, and maternity photos — and they have been absolutely amazing every single time. They are an awesome team: incredibly kind, always willing to listen, and so easy to work with. From start to finish, the experience has been seamless, professional, and deeply personal. They truly take the time to understand your vision, make you feel comfortable in front of the camera, and capture the most authentic, beautiful moments. Their creativity, attention to detail, and ability to capture pure emotion is unmatched. We love that they don’t just take pictures — they tell a story. Each session has given us timeless images we’ll treasure forever. We couldn’t recommend SAJ Media Group more for anyone wanting photographs that are as meaningful as they are stunning.

Ally was amazing, we talked a couple times before our wedding, and then there she was early and ready to go for our ceremony! She did a great job understanding what we were looking for, which was mostly documentary style photography of the ceremony, and family portraits afterwards. High winds and hot temps and very bright overhead sunlight, and yet our pictures are stunning!! Everyone looks so good, and she captured our happiness perfectly. Thank you Ally for these forever memories, we could not have asked for a better experience.

The quality of their work and value was outstanding - the pictures turned out lovely, they had great ideas for unique shots, and were very patient in working with our young kids and newborn baby. Laura was able to get our newborn into really cute poses and he stayed quiet and content the entire time.

Hi I'm Sam! Congratulations on your engagement! What an exciting chapter in your life! When I’m not behind the lens, you can usually find me bossing my husband around and trying to keep up with my 3 wild children Kate, Jack and Luke. ​I am a natural light, true to color, documentary style wedding & portrait photographer, bringing a playful and authentic vibe to every session. I live for those candid, unscripted moments. When couples choose me to capture their big day, it’s a true honor—because once the celebration is over, the only thing left to relive those memories are your photos. Happy Planning ;)

My husband and I got engaged in 2023 and had planned for our wedding to be in July of 2025. For two years one of our biggest challenges was finding a photographer that was in our budget, that would still provide us with the perfect product we had invisioned in our minds. We had searched high and low finding MANY photographers that will say they can adjust their packages to fit our budget, and still somehow come up with a total of 4000 dollars. Then we found Sam. I was hesitant at first because I wanted a specific style I hadn’t seen in her galleries, a more sultry- whimsical- cinematic/ dramatic candid feel. However when I brought that up to Sam she had reassured me that her range of editorial styles and shooting styles was very large as she’s been doing this for YEARS, and had sent me some separate more recent shots she had taken to prove that. We had talked very in detail for days about the hours ineeded from her, pricing, I also explained she would be traveling (which is never a problem for Sam. She loves traveling! ) and we had made a very well customized package trimmed to fit my hours and budget. In the end I received ALL the pictures taken edited exactly how we wanted them. On the wedding day Sam did an amazing job of helping, taking charge of things, and making sure all of our needs were met. I swear she was half wedding planner half photographer. If I needed people to do something she made it happen if I needed people to start getting ready for pictures-she was on it. Her time management is absolutely insane and such a blessing to have on your wedding day. She had some of the best ideas I’ve ever heard when it came to certain poses I wanted accomplished or specific visions I had. She was energetic, hilarious, and made sure everyone had the best time taking these pictures. I couldn’t recommend Sam enough. She truly is a photography wizard and will have all of your wedding day dreams come true.

I have been behind a camera for over 13 years, and I still see things that bring light to a room. I want to be there when you say "I do" even when it's just a few guests and you. My eye-your day-the camera snaps.

Casey Mote Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. From the very first interaction, their communication style was leading, fluent, and easy-going, which put us at ease throughout the entire planning process. They were also incredibly thoughtful, making sure we were comfortable with all the poses and that we had everything we needed for our special day. For example, when we were running behind schedule, the photographer took the time to wait patiently for us, and they contributed great ideas to ensure we captured all the specific shots I wanted. The quality of their work and attention to detail was truly impressive, and we are thrilled with the beautiful photos that will allow us to relive our wedding day for years to come. We give Casey Mote Photography our highest recommendation.

Every love story is an adventure, and your wedding should be no different. Specializing in elopements and microweddings, I capture the intimate, soulful moments that define your day. Whether you're exchanging vows against the backdrop of mountain vistas, in a serene meadow, on a sun-kissed beach, or within a secluded forest, I bring a luxurious yet genuine touch to your wedding photography, ensuring every image tells your unique story. Based in Missouri and available for travel anywhere, I’m here to make your wedding day as memorable as the love you share.

First off, I’ve had Austin photograph my husband and I multiple times! He first took our pictures years ago and I fell in love with them. My husband and I can both be awkward with photos but Austin had all kinds of tips and tricks to make us feel more comfortable. We ended up hiring him again when we got engaged and I still have guests to this day take pictures of the prints I have on my wall that Austin took. Highly recommend him for anyone looking for a photographer!

I’ve captured over 300 beautiful love stories in the STL area and beyond since 2011. Creating timeless images with an energetic and colorful style. My clients are from a variety of backgrounds. I’ve had the pleasure of capturing anything from a small same sex elopement to a 600 guest traditional Palestinian wedding, and everything in between!

As a wedding planner in St. Louis for the past nine years, I have recommended Lillian to many couples looking for crisp, colorful, and bright images of their big day. Lillian has an eye for whimsy and adds an artistic expression to her posed images. Lillian is super relaxed, easy to work with, and loves fun-loving couples that aren't afraid to think "outside the box." One of my favorites in the area.

Nice to meet you, I’m Alena or lena, whatever you want to call me. My simple pleasures in life are rare plants, good coffee, and soft music (aka, lots of Bon Iver & Gregory Alan Isakov) More importantly, you guys, my clients. With photography being my full time job, I get to put every single ounce of my being into creating magical images for you to look back on for years to come. That’s really what I’m here for. So, let’s get coffee or a drink so I can get to know you and your partner, and create magic with you both.

Awarded Best of Zola
I have had Alena as our photographer since 2018! I had been recommended by a friend and had her for our engagement photos, wedding, the birth of our first born, his first birthday, and our second born! If that doesn’t speak for itself. Alena is incredibly talented, knowledgeable, and overall a great person, and friend. Her photos aren’t just any photos that you see. She puts time, and hardwork into her editing and it pays off. They’re moody, flirty, fun, intimate. She can do quite literally anything you ask for. No need to worry about being nervous about being in front of her camera, she knows how to pose you and talks to you the entire time. It feels like you’re hanging out with friends and it’s so so enjoyable!

Whether you want to invite your closest family and friends or celebrate with the two of you. I believe love is love and it comes in many great and true forms.

Brigitte Patterson Photography

  • Fine art style
  • Serves Alton, IL for additional fees

In my 10+ years of experience documenting weddings, one thing has remained the same - I approach each wedding that I photograph with the same passion and dedication as I would document my very own. I believe that you deserve to have your day captured in a way that is as unique as you are, and you can rest assured that my combined education and tenured wedding photography experience ensures that I have both the technical and creative experience needed to truly bring your vision to life.

Brigitte is FANTASTIC and her work simply speaks for itself. I was looking for a timeless and classic photographer and I got just that. Her photos are a great mix of candid and natural, and beautifully styled, and her editing style is tough to come across (bright and colorful). I was also extremely drawn to her black and whites photos, and THRILLED!!! to have a collection of them. I feel like every single one of my photos belong in a Vogue magazine. Brigitte was great to work with - flexible and accommodating. She traveled to New York to take our engagement photos! My wedding day was a huge celebration and full of happiness and great vibes - looking back at my album put me right back on my wedding day and made me want to experience it all over again! (It's only been 3 months!) I could go on and on about specifics, but the photos really do speak for themselves. Brigitte was my #1 vendor. I have never felt as beautiful as I have on my wedding day, and now I have a million photos to remind me of it. My family and friends have all raved about the quantity and quality of my photos. I could not recommend Brigitte enough.
