Watching my sister’s face when she saw the photos was priceless she looked radiant! They captured not just her beauty, but the love in every moment. The team was so patient and kind, even with our giant, chaotic family. The candid shots are my favorite you can feel the joy in them. The lighting, colors, and composition are all perfect. They made my sister’s wedding unforgettable. I’ll be recommending them forever.

Ashley’s Portrait Co. is a St. Louis–based wedding photography and videography team known for natural, emotive storytelling and elevated imagery. We focus on capturing meaningful moments, genuine connections, and the details that make your wedding uniquely yours.

Ashley's Portrait Co. was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From the beginning, they were punctual, kind, and truly understanding of the challenges we faced on our big day. Despite the rain pouring down, the team was able to quickly find alternative locations for our photos and did a wonderful job of calming my nerves and reassuring me. Ashley even went above and beyond by contacting our venue to schedule a free photoshoot on a sunny day so we could capture the outdoor wedding photos we had originally envisioned. I am not usually confident in front of the camera, but Ashley and her team made my husband and I feel so comfortable, guiding us into flattering poses that highlighted our connection. The quality of their work was truly detailed, encouraging, and honest - we are thrilled with how the photos turned out and feel they captured the joy and beauty of our special day perfectly. I would highly recommend Ashley's Portrait Co. to any couple looking for a talented, caring, and professional photography team.

St. Louis based but always ready to pack a bag and find my way to you! I’m a wedding and portrait photographer lucky enough to have been doing what I do for 10 years now. I feel so lucky each and every day. It’s a big responsibility and I don’t take it for granted for a single second. Beautiful imagery built on a foundation of trust is my ultimate goal as your photographer.

WOW! So easy to work with, constantly adapting to make sure you always feel comfortable and confident, and providing high-quality photos time after time. We have hired Batchelor Photography for both our engagement photos and wedding photos, and he did NOT disappoint. The morning of our engagement shoot, it was extremely overcast, as it had been sprinkling on and off all morning. However, looking through our photos, Brendan expertly made it look like a beautiful sunset! For our wedding he was super communicative, met with us beforehand to make sure he knew what our wants and needs were, and even helped answer some wedding related questions we had just from his experience working in the wedding industry.

There are three of us behind Lion of the Valley. Yeah, we're industry professionals, but we're also friends that started this business together. And we feel like that's a really huge benefit to you. Because we love working together and we love doing it with you.

Bill, Dayton, and Calen were hands down the best possible choice my wife and I could have made for our wedding photos. They were fun, easy to work with, they calmed us down, helped choreograph some key pieces of our wedding day, and the photos we have are absolutely stunning. I couldn't have dreamed up a better crew. I loved that they were easy going and took pictures of us in fun places -- walking around our old neighborhood, in our favorite date-night spot, in front of the pool at the Last Hotel -- and made us laugh and feel relaxed while doing it. We get compliments on our photos often, and while we haven't put our album together yet, I know it will be incredible because of the quality of the photos we have. I can't recommend them highly enough. Choose Lion of the Valley, you won't be disappointed!

  • Serves East St. Louis, IL

Hey I'm Jamie! I'm an wedding + lifestyle photographer based in St. Louis, MO but I love to travel! Photography and LOVE are two things I adore! One thing I can guarentee is you'll probably hear me say, "I love love!" at least once on your special day! I can't wait to get to know you more and share in your memorable day! Head to my website to inquire!

For our elopement session in Florida, Jamie, the lead photographer, did SUCH an amazing job! She was very detailed and directed us with posing, how to stand, what to do, etc. As someone who has no clue what to do when having my photo taken, Jamie was EXTREMELY helpful with guiding both me and my husband. We had a couple of scheduling errors (on our end) and had to switch the times and Jamie was so gracious and flexible and still got our photos done with the gorgeous Florida sunset. The photographer was so kind and professional towards us and she is our go-to for all of our photography needs. I was able to communicate with her with utmost ease without ever feeling like a burden. I have gotten multiple sessions done with Jamie and each one never fails to amaze me, each time more than the rest. I would 1000% recommend Jamie Rogers Photography and anytime anyone needs a photographer, I always give them Jamie's name and they are always impressed by her services.

Brea Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (1 review)

  • Serves East St. Louis, IL

I have been photographing for 18 years (!!!) and I still cry at weddings! I love that I have the rare pleasure of being present to witness some of the most significant moments in my clients' lives. Whether that be the birth of a child, the celebration of a wedding, a family growing year after year, or a small business sharing what they love - I am honored to have celebrated so many magical moments with my clients since 2007 and I greatly look forward to all I will see in the years to come. My style is narrative, artful and real. I love in-between moments, the tone of light at sunset & capturing candid images from surprising perspectives.

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! :)

  • Serves East St. Louis, IL

Hi! I'm Sandra, a wedding photographer serving the St. Louis area, recovering designer, wife, twin mom, and life-long nerd. On any given day, you can find me chasing my little boys, (yes, they're identical!) writing or editing on my laptop, or watching sci-fi shows on the couch with my husband. My goal as a photographer is not just to take pretty pictures, but to capture emotion, connection, and who you really are. I do what I do to capture relaxed, candid, beautiful moments instead of overly posed or cookie-cutter imagery. I find the best way to foster the connections that result in those genuine images is to invest in people over things.

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!

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

Awarded Best of Zola
Isaac came recommended from a friend who did their engagement and wedding photos with him. We were also fortunate to have done our proposal, engagement and wedding photos with Isaac! He is so professional and comfortable to be around. My husband and I dont usually like to take photos, because we are self conscious, but Isaac took care of us. I am so grateful we came across LoveKnot and will always highly recommend them for anyone's special occasion.
