The Talented Photographer was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. From the very first interaction, Alec's communication style was fun, professional, and incredibly personable. He had a true passion for his craft that shone through in every interaction. The quality of Alec's work was absolutely stunning - we got a wonderful variety of candids, formal shots, and editorial-style pictures that captured all the special moments of our day. Alec has an incredible eye for the right shots, and the final photos are absolutely gorgeous. Despite a complicated location schedule that I was worried about, Alec made the whole day seamless, traveling to over 4 different spots to ensure we got all the groupings and special shots we wanted. Alec truly went above and beyond, and we had such a great time working with him. I'm obsessed with the pictures and would give him an 11/10 rating!

Sollie Photography 

5.0

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $1,950
  • Serves Defiance, MO

Heyo! I am a lady (she/her) that adores photography. I describe my style as eclectic classic. I absolutely cover the basics, but add in a lot of fun and creative shots too. I am based out of Central Southern Illinois, but I am willing to travel to any location.

My wedding photos were the perfect depiction of my wedding day. I felt confident and you can tell him the pictures. I had told Sollie that I was self-conscious about how I looked at times. Sollie was conscientious of angles and trying to get pictures she thought look good as well as getting photos that were important to me. She included my family and got shots that were not necessarily planned, but turned out perfect. I have now used her for all of my family photos and photos of my children ever since and don’t plan on changing that. She is amazing.

She met with us to discuss the plan for our photos amd simply made them happen. The photos were amazing and we were able to enjoy our special day. Thanks to the amazing photos that were taken we will be able to look back and relive the day over and over for years to some.

Fossil [ fos–uh l ]: any remains, impression, or trace of a living thing……. Let’s tell your story. Life goes by SO fast and I am in the business of documenting all the “feels” of the right now. Fossil Photography is currently based just outside of Edwardsville, IL and I spend plenty of time traipsing around the St. Louis area. I also travel to Birmingham, AL on a regular basis and am always open to travel opportunities.

My husband and I had originally planned to have a June 6th wedding...then Covid happened and we had to reschedule the wedding more than once. Each time, Jessica was willing to do whatever she could to be at the new date. After 3 date changes, and that many venue changes, we were able to pull together a very nice, intimate wedding with just immediate family. The photos of the day were spectacular and truly captured the essence of how happy every one was that we were able to finally get married. My husband and I are forever grateful for Jessica and her willingness to go to any length just to make sure our special day was captured!

I am a small town country girl that was raised in the American southwest just outside Tucson, Arizona. My life journey has taken me to some amazing places, and I can't wait to see more. I started my photography journey over ten years ago photographing nature and scenery. Just being outside in the fresh air and enjoying the sights energizes me and fills me with wonder and amazement. A few years ago I was approached about photographing some of my friends and family, and I fell in love with capturing the candid moments and raw emotion. This is what makes memories so special.

Rose has been lovely to work with, not only for my upcoming wedding, but also for another bride we're working with together. She responds quickly, is open to opinions and ideas, and is reasonably priced. I highly recommend working with her, for impeccable work ethic, and a genuine passion for what she does. Counting down the days to see her work on my wedding day in October.

Born and raised in the Hudson Valley, New York. I’ve always had my finger on the pulse with anything involving art. Spending 12 years doing hair at top salons and my entire life composing music professionally, it wasn’t until about 7 years ago working on my first photo shoot that I realized I had a “problem”. This new found love in my life was capturing moments in time for amazing people. In everything I do, the story tells it all. Having the privilege to share and work with so many incredible people has been a part my story. I can’t wait to be apart of your life’s moments that tell the story for time to come.

Ivory Grove was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding photography and videography. Their communication style was quick, easy, and they answered all of our questions throughout the entire process. The quality of their work was amazing - they turned around our photos and video in record time and were a breeze to work with. Ivory Grove made sure there was nothing for us to stress over on our wedding day, and they made us feel comfortable the entire time. We booked them a year before our wedding date and I was worried we wouldn't hear anything from them until right before the big day, but that was completely the opposite of what happened. They checked in on us multiple times throughout the year, sending us helpful tips and always asking if we needed anything. So many of our guests raved about the beautiful photos and video that Ivory Grove captured of our special day.
