Not only are they talented, but they’re also the kindest people. They made me feel calm when I was stressed out about everything. They organized the family photos without any chaos, which s a miracle with my family! The pictures are stunning a d full of emotion. I especially love the black and white ones they did they feel so timeless. The video is just wow, I’ve never seen something so beautiful put together with so much care. My friends said it feels like watching a real movie about us. They didn’t miss anything, from the ceremony to the wild party at the end. The quality is unreal, but what I love most is how much heart they put into it. It’s clear they love what they do. I’d recommend them to everyone.

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.

Rachel and Charlie were the absolute best wedding photographers we could have asked for. Rachel was super easy to communicate with leading up to our engagement session and the wedding itself. She was extremely helpful. She’s the exact kind of bubbly and positive personality you want there with you on your wedding day. She and Charlie had my husband and I (neither of which are very comfortable in front of a camera) feel so comfortable, and we ended up with the most beautiful photos. I could not recommend Rachel enough. If you’re looking for a high quality, professional, fun-loving, and overall fantastic wedding photographer, Rachel Myers is where it’s at.

Katie Forbis | St. Louis-based, available anywhere | In my 18+ years of experience, I have found that the absolute best photos happen when couples are fully present in the moment - enjoying each other, their guests, and themselves. For this reason, I take mostly hands-off approach on wedding days. I do my best not to interfere with the events of the day, or direct the events of the day - instead, I document them as they unfold.

We truly couldn't have asked for a better wedding photographer than Katie! She photographed both our welcome dinner and wedding day in May 2026, and every single image is incredible perfection - aesthetically beautiful and real. Her vision and style are truly art - She captured not just how everything looked, but how it felt. She genuinely exceeded all of our expectations! One of the things we loved most was how natural the entire experience was. We never felt like we were constantly posing or being pulled away from the moment. Katie has such a calm, warm presence that made us feel completely at ease, and she captured so many genuine, beautiful moments without ever making anything feel forced. We are honestly blown away by how amazing the photos are, along with everyone else we have shown them to! If you're looking for someone who creates timeless, artistic images that truly capture the essence of your wedding and loved ones, who is also such a pleasure to be around, we can't recommend Vein Vessel enough to anyone.

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!

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!

For nine years, I’ve had the honor of standing in the quiet before the aisle walk, the deep breath before “I do,” the champagne pop that sounds like a starting gun for forever. Wedding photography isn’t just what I do. It’s what I’ve built, refined, and poured my heart into year after year. Your wedding day is not a photoshoot. It’s a living, breathing story unfolding in real time. My job is to preserve it exactly as it felt. The nervous hand squeezes. The belly laughs. The mascara-streaked hugs. The way your partner looks at you when they think no one else is watching.

Lindsay was absolutely amazing to work with. Her communication from the moment I first inquired until the finished/edited photos were done was wonderful. She had so many good ideas for photos and I love the way everything turned out!

From the first conversation through gallery delivery, the experience is calm, organized, and thoughtfully prepared so you can stay present while your day unfolds naturally. With nearly two decades of professional experience, I step in when direction is needed and step back when the moment speaks for itself, creating timeless images that feel effortless and genuine.

Elizabeth is a jewel! The photos are amazing and she fit right in with my crazy family. I don't even remember her taking half the shots she took; that's how well she blended into the background. I'm so glad we chose her to capture our special day. One of the comments I've heard often is how the love between my husband and I shone through the photos. It takes a skilled photographer to capture those special moments and little nuances.

It's my goal to serve you and make you feel the same emotions you felt on your wedding day through my photos. Thank you for being here!

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!

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.
