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!

We initially chose Ivory Grove because we loved their editing style and the affordable price for both a photographer and videographer. We were nervous because we did not get to select our photographer or videographer; instead, they were assigned to us by Ivory Grove. However, those nerves quickly subsided when we had our engagement photoshoot with Christie! My husband and I can be a bit awkward, but Christie made us feel so comfortable and was able to capture our personalities in such a magical way. She even helped me create my wedding day timeline to ensure the day went smoothly and that she could capture all of the special moments. We met Brock, our videographer, on the day of the wedding, and he fit right in while capturing all of the important moments. After the wedding, we were told our media would be ready within 30 to 60 days. Our photos were delivered just 10 days after the wedding, and our videos were delivered 17 days after the wedding! The quick turnaround was such an unexpected surprise. I am completely obsessed with our photos and videos! Thank you, Ivory Grove, for capturing the best day of our lives!

My style is artful, narrative and real. Yes, photography is about light, but it is also so much about relationship. I make the photography fun, light and effortless. It is woven into the day rather than taking you out of your experience. I capture wedding photography like a documentarian and I offer gentle posing suggestions and conversation topics to keep things feeling natural and easy.

Brea is an incredible photographer and human and I am so glad we hired her to take our engagement photos and photograph our wedding! She was enthusiastic about all of our ideas and it felt like she was committed to making both the engagement shoot and wedding day feel like a celebration of us and our relationship. She was responsive, really put us at ease, and went above and beyond for us, especially on our wedding day. You really spend a LOT of time with your photographer on your wedding day, and Brea was such a delight and kept the vibes positive the entire day! For our engagement pictures, Brea photographed us both at our local rock climbing gym (a shared passion) and at the bar located in the same building and we have so many beautiful and creative shots that truly feel like US! For our wedding, Brea got amazing pictures of us both posed AND interacting with guests! We even had a small "bike parade" with a few friends in between the ceremony and reception and Brea got incredible action shots that helped us celebrate and capture our day in a way that felt unique to us. When we started to fall behind in the schedule, Brea LEPT into coordinator mode and helped make sure things stayed on time and running smoothly! I can never thank her enough for that! Basically, Brea is the best and I wouldn't hesitate to hire her, especially if you want someone who will capture what really makes you YOU in her photographs! :)

Brooke did an absolutely amazing job! We did an engagement photoshoot with her months before our wedding date and it was very helpful in getting to know each other and how we work together, made the wedding day so much smoother! It is very obvious she has lots of experience in the wedding industry and is very professional. She did a great job at coming up with different poses and some of her ideas became my favorite photos.

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.

Emily is seriously amazing! We had an instant connection of trust and I knew our photos would be perfect. She was there for me through my entire planning process and helped guide me on any changes we needed. For our engagement photos, it was pouring rain and she had a backup plan asap. She makes the photos feel natural and nothing forced. For our wedding day, it rained yet again and Emily took charge of our wedding day. She creates a timeline for you. She was like my day of coordinator too! She came prepared with everything and anything you need. She made sure the day flowed as smooth as possible. Our wedding wouldn’t have been what it was, without her! We love Emily!!

I'm a film & digital photographer based in the Midwest but traveling internationally to capture heartfelt moments and authentic love stories with a cinematic and nostalgic feel. I started out with travel photography but my passion for portraiture and timeless romance led me to specialize in creative, artful weddings, destination weddings, and intimate couples shoots for intentional couples who want something beyond the traditional, cookie cutter photo vibe.

Stacey was a dream to work with! She was quick to respond from the minute we submitted an inquiry to weeks after our elopement. She also scheduled an initial zoom meeting before even signing anything which was very personable and helpful to meet the person you might want to hire! For the day of, we had an intimate elopement with only 3 friends. Stacey made us feel so comfortable and like she had known us for years even though we had just met in person that day! Stacey gave us directions on what to do for the pictures, but not strict posing which made the pictures seem so much more natural, candid, and real. She is a gem of a human and so friendly. After the elopement, Stacey provided us with sneak peeks almost immediately. And when we were delivered the final pictures, we were blown away. Every single picture was PERFECT. We also requested some photos on film, and every single one of those were perfect as well. Could not be happier with choosing Stacey to photograph our day that we’ll remember forever.

Awarded Best of Zola
If I could give Tony and his team more than 5 stars, I absolutely would. We had a destination wedding in Sedona and took jeeps up a long, rugged trail to get married at the top of a mountain. Tony and his team were nothing short of incredible from start to finish. Not only are they insanely talented at both photo and video, but Tony himself is an experienced off-road driver with his own jeep…and thank goodness for that! He helped guide our entire wedding party through the trail safely, kept everyone laughing, and made the whole adventure an absolute blast. As a photographer myself, I’m very picky about imagery, and Tony exceeded every expectation I had. His eye, his creativity, his attention to detail, and his ability to capture genuine emotion are all unmatched. Our photos are breathtaking, better than anything I ever could have imagined. He’s energetic, knowledgeable, fun to be around, and truly passionate about what he does. Hiring Tony was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. If you’re considering him for your special day, especially an adventurous one… don’t hesitate. You won’t find anyone better.

My name is Courtney and I am a wedding and portrait photographer based in the midwest of the United States and available for work worldwide. My inspirations and approach to my work are largely influenced by my studies in filmmaking, my deep appreciation for the nostalgic, my curiosity for nuance, and my strong personal relationship with love and friendship.

Awarded Best of Zola
I've hired Courtney twice now for documenting my family and both times she was able to capture the essence of our family in such a calm, playful, beautiful way. She somehow brings out our most authentic selves and I'm forever grateful to have these photos of my kids growing up with me in the photos too! She captures the tiny ways I connect with my kids that I'm already nostalgic for. Like the way my baby crawled up the stairs and I followed closely behind. As parents we must follow them up the stairs 10000x times so it's mundane but the fact that she even thought to get low to his perspective and photograph it means I forever have this beautiful photo of what being a mother looked like. And then the next time the kids were older and she was able to both maintain a calming energy AND work with their hyper energy. I love the way she sees the world. Can't wait to hire her again.

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.

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!

She created a detailed wedding timeline that my day of coordinators utilized as well as all of my other vendors. She knew all the spots and poses to get my dream wedding photos, and even helped my videographer to capture amazing footage as well. She is an extremely talented photographer and I would absolutely recommend her for anyone's wedding.

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!
