  • Fine art style

Hey y’all! I am Brittany, the photographer behind the dream team that is blkPhotography. I will be celebrating TEN years of business in 2020! TEN! I started this journey as a sophomore in high school with a love for capturing moments and memories, because they are SO important. I’ve grown throughout the years of weddings + portrait sessions and come to adore this “job” of creating and curating memories for my clients. It’s a passion I pursue every single day.

Nora Sandoval Photography
Saint Louis, MO
  • Photojournalistic style

I’m a lover of adventure, a dreamer, an artist, and - full disclosure - slightly addicted to wedding cake. Actually, all cake. Actually actually, most desserts, in general. I have a soft spot for film photography, bright colors, small dogs and big smiles. I was born and raised in St. Louis, and am a fan of all things arts & crafts, especially counted cross stitch; irony, tattoos, anything Chris Cornell, most nerdy things but above all Harry Potter (Ravenclaws, holler at your girl), heartbreaking harmonies, inventing my own words, golden hour sunflares, leopard print, neon signs, and stopping to smell the roses.

Juniper and Oak Photo, LLC
Lake St. Louis, MO
  • Photojournalistic style

I'm St Louis wedding photographer, Becky Hassel. I don't believe I chose wedding photography. I believe I was destined for this role. Twenty eight years ago my grandfather passed away. The only thing I have left of my childhood best friend are memories and those memories, in my own aging, are slowly fading. Your marriage is such a valuable and personal memory that can not be replaced. I strive to capture those moments in a genuinely authentic process that allows you to always remember those timeless moments just as they happened.

One thing can be said of John and Gina Lewis, is that they're always busy. Photographers, Videographers, Interior Designers, and pastors are only a few of their titles. They are the founders of the Lewis and Oak brand and together they are a team in everything they do. John simply adores Gina with all of her grace and beauty. She succeeds at everything she puts her hands to. Although he hates to say it...when she puts her hands to an SNES controller for a game of Dr. Mario she succeeds at that as well... to John's demise. Gina operates an Etsy shop that caters to like minds of those who love the modern/vintage style.

When we are shooting together, we want it to feel like a day you spend with your best friends. We get to step into someone else’s world for a day. The people they love most are telling them why they love them and how they have changed their life. The words we hear, along with the emotions we witness are profoundly moving. We want you to laugh, to maybe even cry while we capture all these memories for you to look back on.

Sarah Harvey Photo & Film

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,500

Welcome to my little corner of the internet! I grew up with a camera in my hand, and now at the age of 27 I get to call this a full-time-kind-of-thing. I was born and raised in St. Louis, a city I like to call my little big town. After high school I pursued cosmetology, but after a year made the decision to get out from behind a chair, and get behind a camera again. I met my husband right around this same time - were engaged a year later, and married six months after that! Capturing people, doing what they love, or with the ones they love, is my passion. I hope after learning more about me, I have the opportunity to learn more about you!

Sandra Grunzinger Photography
St. Louis, MO
  • Editorial style

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.

Mindee Malloy Photography
Saint Louis, MO

    Life is not perfectly posed and neither are my photos. I want to capture your family as you are, the love you felt on your wedding day, the joy of your new baby, your children's little quirks. I want to freeze the snuggles, the kisses, the laughter so when you look back on your photos years from now, you remember all the magic.

    Just like you, I have felt awkward in front of the camera. I’ve had photos taken of me that I didn’t like. When you go on a session with me, I will not only make you feel comfortable, but I will make sure you look good! I will give you prompts to keep you moving and laughing. I’m sorry but there are some angles, and poses that are not flattering for everyone. Like, please don’t take a photo of me from below! Hello double chin! What I’m saying is, I got you!

    Laci is literally a Fairy Godmother. Not only did she answer and put together every photography moment but went above and beyond with all wedding related questions. My wedding was 11/2020 and Covid made everything a mess and she really helped make it all go so smoothly. I don’t think any other vendor have your back the way she will. She is the only human that I would ever trust to capture all the important moments of life now.

You can hit me up any time- we can brainstorm all the ideas, timelines, all the tiniest details! I am a fan of Pinterest vision boards, sending each other tons of messages and be open about EVERYTHING! This is your day! Let’s make it all about YOU!

    Connie helped us with my brother’s small family wedding. She was incredibly professional and very thorough in her pre-event questions. She made sure everyone was comfortable. Her professionalism extended to the day of the event itself. She even sent us some edited images the same day! The remainder of the images she delivered two days later which is amazing! All of the photos were beautiful. My family loves them and we are so happy we captured these moments. So incredibly happy we found her and would recommend her to anyone! Thank you so much, Connie!!

    More than a decade ago, two sisters - knew there had to be a better way to allow talented photographers and videographers to focus on what they do best -- create gorgeous art -- while providing couples with better support in the planning process. Together, they created an all-inclusive, stress-free environment where couples can choose from talented local photographers and videographers and work with a small team of planning experts equipped and eager to make everything a success. With the pressure gone, you can truly enjoy your big day. Relax and rest assured that all the emotional and moments will be documented with unmatched quality.

    Our experience with OLAS was amazing from start to finish! Although we didn't work directly with the photographer until the day of the wedding (except for a zoom call where we got to meet her and talk about our vision), everyone on the team was super helpful and willing to answer any questions we had. I told Hannah (Event Planner for OLAS) over the phone that I thought they were some huge, conglomerate business because all of their emails and outreach seemed so put together and professional, so I was so surprised to hear that it was really just a small team of kick-a** women that are behind all of this. I love supporting female-owned and run businesses, and this truly seems to be one of the best. I wouldn't be surprised if they expanded a ton in the near future, so I am glad we got in when it was such a small and intimate team. You can tell they love what they do and really want to make your day special! Our photographer was also amazing on the wedding day, and even though we hadn't interacted with her too much before, she made us feel super comfortable the entire day and really seemed to love working for OLAS, which was great to see!

    Hello there! I'm Andrea, owner of Amative Creative, and every weekend we're so blessed to be able to tell the love stories of so many amazing couples. Like many others in this industry might say, we simply adore weddings. But what makes us a little different is our entire brand is centered around telling love stories specifically curated to reflect your vision and aesthetic. "Amative" means to be prone to love, so as you can see, we want nothing more than to tell your love story! But what makes us truly unique is that we understand every love story looks different. And we personalize every aspect of how we document your wedding day!

    Awarded Best of Zola
    Andrea and team have been nothing short of phenomenal. Not only did Andrea take the time to talk through the entire process from start to finish and answer all of our questions, but she remained in constant contact before, during and after our wedding. She always answered our texts and calls, no matter what time of day or night! She and her team made us feel very comfortable during our engagement and wedding photos, and she respected our comfort level. The photos the Amative Creative team delivered are straight out of a wedding catalogue--her product matched our vision exactly. She provided 2,000 photos within six months and the wait was totally worth it. Not only did Andrea take our engagement and wedding photos, but she connected us with a photographer while we were on our honeymoon in Paris to take additional photos that Andrea then edited and delivered within two days. Working with her has felt like a dream! Andrea and team love their clients like their own family, and we would recommend Amative Creative again and again.

    I have been a photographer for 8 years. Throughout my time as a photographer I’ve captured clothing, models, and memories. I shifted from corporate shootings to families and weddings because it gave me this warm fuzzy feeling when I edited my couples and families photos. Don’t be afraid to reach out to me and ask about my photography style, my editing style, or my favorite restaurant! I highly recommend scheduling a free consulting session!

    Awarded Best of Zola
    Grace was just amazing. For a day that was overwhelming and very stressful, I cannot thank her enough for her calm and kindness. My now husband and I are usually not "photo people", as we tend to be more introverts than anything else, and she went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable. Her professionalism and guidance during the shoot can be described as more than stellar. I will definitely recommend her to all of my friends who will be getting married soon. During all the chaos, I was extremely thankful to have chosen her as our photographer.

Our editing and style depends. Very easygoing and flexible depending on the client's preference. Our team is dedicated in delivering memories.

    So where do I start?! Lead and his team are the most professional, passionate, skilled, and accommodating photographer/videographer. We couldn't have asked for a better photographer on the most important day of our lives. They took so much time to incorporate everything we could want in our wedding photos and they even took the time to edit some multiple amazing videos with the footage. They were patient and they made us feel comfortable and supported during the night and we had a blast as well. On top of all that, he knew how to capture well our love story. His team is amazing and they provided a high quality, welcoming, amazing photography experience. I'd recommend their work for any event you'd like to capture precious moment's in! They were worth more than every cent we spent! Again, thank you so so much Ledd and team. We will treasure these photos forever.

    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 and Love Knot Photography shot our wedding and they did an amazing job. After interviewing several photographers, we decided to choose Isaac and his team because he had the best portfolio, was very professional and friendly and he was well organized. The photos turned out so great, we really love the candids and portraits. Between taking amazing photos, they also helped out with a number of things throughout the wedding day. Isaac looked up a youtube how to fold a pocket square then the question was raised. He is very fun to have around and we appreciate all the effort he put into helping us have a great day. The photos tell the story of our day perfectly and we can't thank Love Knot and Isaac enough. We will be reliving our wedding day through these pictures and the collection is beautiful!

    Michelle is my photographer for life. She shot my engagement photos, wedding photos, and most recently, boudoir photos. She is an expert at making camera shy, self conscious, and awkward people, like my husband and myself, comfortable. Shoots are fun and silly, and it’s honestly more like hanging out with a friend who happens to have immense talent. Nick is a great second shooter and captured many of my favorite moments at my wedding. My photos are incredible keepsakes that I’ll treasure forever, and I can’t wait for her to document more of our lives!

If you want to talk video games, LOTR or Doctor Who, we HAVE to sit down for a bourbon or a coffee. (2) Yes, I will be out on that dance floor with you snapping away while joining in on the fun. And (3), while I'm a photographer first, supporting you during the planning process feels crucial to me - from building a timeline to having your back any way I can.

    I'm an award winning wedding photojournalist from Chicago, Illinois. I was raised in the Chicago suburbs but now call Lincoln Square home with my husband and our two Golden Retrievers, Missy and Felony. When the dogs aren't keeping me busy I love traveling all over the world, cooking amazing meals, jumping on my Peloton and eating Thai food while binging Netflix.

    I booked Sarah for our intimate wedding in April, and I couldn't be happier with the results. My husband is a photographer, so he was very picky about wanting a photographer who would capture the natural beauty of our unconventional wedding in our favorite restaurant. Looking through Sarah's work, we really loved how her work didn't look staged or overly edited. When we got back our photo proofs, we were even more blown away. During our pre-dinner photoshoot, we have so many stunning photos of us in our favorite Chicago neighborhood, both in places we wanted and in cute little alleys and doorways that she found day-of. And then during dinner, despite pretty cramped quarters, we have photos of all of our 40 guests enjoying the evening. We will treasure Sarah's work for years to come!

    Steve at Birchfields totally knocked it out of the park for us. We were on the fence about hiring a videographer, but realized we really wanted the ceremony and speeches captured professionally. We are so glad we found Birchfields. Steve was incredibly helpful from the start - answering all of our questions, giving us ideas, and helping us to come up with the right package to buy. He gave us time to think things through, and we never felt pressured or rushed. On the day of the wedding, he was so easy and fun to work with. He sent us a small film trailer of the wedding the day after, which was so awesome to have right away! We recently got back our full edited films, and they are better than we could have hoped - super well edited, amazing crisp quality, and they really honor the mood and feeling of the whole night. We are so happy to have worked with Steve, and would absolutely recommend him!

    I had a small wedding at home and she was there early in the morning and took photos of the entire day. She was taking photos to make my day memorable and focused on the details that I am so grateful she was able to capture. She photographed my family members too and made me feel beautiful on my day. I sometimes get awkward in front of cameras but she made me feel comfortable and I would for sure book her again when given the chance. I highly recommend. She’s very understanding of different cultures and made sure to capture those moments that made my day special. She edits beautifully and she also sent a flash drive in a beautifully presented box. I loved it. Her attention to detail is impeccable and you can tell she loves what she does. So grateful that my sister discovered her. Nicole was absolutely amazing.

Daria's style is like a blend of real-life moments and fashion flair, and our wedding photos could've easily graced any bridal magazine. She or her assistant - Connor, were like flies on the wall! I was impressed that they were always nearby, but blending perfectly with the guests! She was always super professional, always on time, and kept us calm amidst all the wedding chaos. (And we had a very chaotic day, from missing a cake for a cake cut to me (bride) breaking a heel on my shoes) She's got this incredible eye for capturing raw emotions and tiny details that would've otherwise gone unnoticed. Looking at our photos, it's like we're reliving the entire day. During the portrait sessions, Daria worked her magic, giving us tips that made us look and feel like Hollywood stars.

Let's create wedding images with real emotion, story, and intention to them. I know being in front of the camera can be awkward. That's why I choose not to pose couples, but instead prompt you to do something like "take off your shoes and run across the field" or " get inside the car and kiss everywhere except the lips". These prompts will help you feel comfortable and also help create candid images. Check out my website for more info :)

    Jarrod and his wife, Taylor, are truly a dream to work with! My husband and I really wanted some simple engagement photos taken, but were reluctant because we’re not totally comfortable in front of the camera and didn’t want the poses/photos to look cheesy. Taylor gave us plenty of suggestions to pose us naturally and kept us laughing which put us at ease immediately. Jarrod was such a professional and really worked every angle and background to make it look like we spent an entire day shooting. The editing was super crisp and clean and the photos came back incredibly quickly. They far exceeded our expectations and we can’t thank them enough for giving us beautiful, lasting memories from such an important time in our lives. This couple is seriously amazing - genuine, fun, and experts at what they do!! Book them!

    When we hired JVaughn Photography we knew we were getting an amazing photographer but we had no idea we would be getting such an amazing person and friend out of it too! Justin is the absolute sweetest person we have had the honor of meeting and he has such a great eye to make our vision come to life! He made sure to have a meeting with us to get to know us and understand the vibe we wanted for our photos and he kept constant communication throughout the entire process to make sure all the bases were covered and he had a clear understanding of the timeframe and game plan. He was the one vendor we NEVER had to worry about. After he gave us our engagement photos, everyone knew he was the perfect photographer for us. Once the wedding day came, the entire bridal party and guests could not stop raving about how much they loved him! He gives clear direction on how to pose, what to do with your hands, how to fix your face, and knows how to use lighting. One of our biggest concerns when finding a photographer is having someone know how to use lighting because more often than not either I get lost in the light or my fiancé gets lost since our complexions are so far from each other. Thankfully Justin knew exactly how to make it all work out! He also stuck to the game plan and made sure none of those important shots are missed but he was also flexible enough to allow us to add in and change some of that game plan. I can honestly sit here and say that thanks to JVaughn Photography, our big day was absolutely perfect (even during covid). We already told him to get ready for our maternity photos, gender reveal, baby shower, and family portraits. I will forever recommend him to EVERYONE.

    Hi, I'm Samuel! Chicago based wedding and elopement photographer here to give couples a truly relaxed and down to earth experience. Being photographed shouldn't be uncomfortable or boring!  Telling love stories through photos brings me immense joy. 

    We were so grateful to Samuel who was able to document our city hall ceremony on a very last minute request during the end of year holidays. (Are you free next weekend?) We were drawn to the documentary style of his work and thought it was a fitting way to remember a special moment in a basement of Chicago's City Hall. Leading up to the day, we texted and chatted about places to do portraits after and Samuel was very patient and helpful in suggesting places that felt right for me and my partner. Not only did he have the inside scoop on what the city hall ceremony was going to be like and what was going to happen, but he was also great to hang out with in line and and get to know better. We both felt very comfortable working with Samuel and the nerves of working with a professional photographer for the first time went out the window. I can only imagine how amazing the experience would be to work with Samuel with more time to prepare or at locations a little less drab than a city hall basement!

    Whether you're shy, non-photogenic, or simply prefer to let your love speak for itself, my goal is to make you feel comfortable and confident in front of the lens. I was born in Brooklyn and explored the city streets with my camera while in art school. When Im not capturing weddings, I like to binge watch Netflix, play video games, and I love Harry Potter. I've been photographing weddings since 2011 and remember each couple as it was yesterday.

    Angelica captured our special day absolutely perfectly. We had hired her for our wedding that was supposed to happen in 2020 but had to be rescheduled for 3 years later due to the pandemic and through that entire time she stuck with us! She was communicative and responsive, and her shots were absolutely gorgeous. She managed to capture every single important moment of our celebration and the way she guides and corrals everyone into taking pictures that look good is nothing short of a miracle (trust me, I feel so awkward in front of the camera and I look incredible in all of my wedding shots.) If you need a photographer for your wedding, Angelica is 100% your girl.

We were also matched to two photographers who captured the rich moody tone we were looking for. Unfortunately one of the photographers was late to the wedding and missed our ceremony, and although the lead photographer did an excellent job capturing what he could by himself, this mishap resulted in a crushing lack of photos of my dad walking me down the aisle. Picture This Wedding did reach out with a sincere apology, and offered us some additional services at no cost, which we appreciated.

Let's get you married and make the most of it while capturing all of it!! If you are ready to play dress-up, have a good time, and let me be your third wheel, let’s do it!

    Amanda was amazing. From the beginning she was incredibly communicative and easy to work with. She had lots of great ideas that produced shots my wife and I cherish. To add to that, on our wedding day we dealt with high winds and torrential freezing rain on the Washington coast. Through all of it, Amanda focused on getting the best shots of my wife and I, the ceremony, and our families in the most adverse conditions. She did great! Editing and delivery was quick and easy as well. I can't recommend Amanda Ford enough.

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!

    Hi! Courtney here (that's me on the left!). Shutter and Sound is the brainchild of renowned wedding videographer Ryan Geldermann. Ryan began his wedding videography career in 2010 in Los Angeles and quickly became recognized as one of the top videographers in the U.S.. After relocating to DC and still receiving countless inquiries from all corners of the country, Ryan decided to recruit and train a few talented friends so he could continue offering the quality wedding videography he’s known for in SoCal and eventually over 10 cities. Shutter and Sound is a very small group of filmmakers dedicated to turning your big day into a work of art.

    My husband and I loved working with Shutter and Sound for our wedding!! They went above and beyond when capturing our venue and all the special moments throughout our wedding day. The videographers were very personable and easy to work with, and were confident in their vision. All of the deliverables came even sooner than we were expecting which was a nice surprise, and I've watched our videos sooo many times since we got them back. Truly a great experience! I'd recommend Shutter and Sound to anyone looking for quality footage that really tells a story. :)

Every couple, family, person is different, and I want to make sure your uniqueness comes through in the images of your special days. My style tends to lean into rich colors and textures. Are you a couple that doesn't want to have a typical wedding? I'm a photographer that doesn't want to give you typical images! I always tear up at hand written vows. I love my partner and my two dogs Moonshine and Chosen One, and my cat Bucket.

    Jillian at Youngbird Photo (j.guthrie_photo on Instagram) is such a true joy and delight to work with. Not only did she come to photograph our small May ceremony, but she photographed a first look photo session with us after we canceled the reception!! My dress was in covid lockup in May, so I wasn't able to wear it at the original ceremony. Jillian made sure that we had pictures of the dress, and captured a first look moment for us, and that will forever mean the world to me. She even came over to photograph the centerpieces that we had worked so hard on!! She makes people feel so comfortable and has such an amazing eye for what will make a beautiful shot. She is immensely talented and an absolutely delightful person. And bonus, she works with any budget. She truly believes that every couple deserves beautiful photos, and will work with you, whatever your situation is. Case in point, she's done our engagement photos, our small ceremony photos, and now our first look photos, and in every instance, she went above and beyond for us. I will recommend her forever, and still cannot completely put into words how much she and her photos mean to us!

    Weddings are definitely close to my heart! My goal is to produce images that you can look back on for the rest of your lives and feel good vibes only! I want this day to be as stress free as possible for you on my end -- so if I need to be a wedding coordinator, dress fluffer, hair fixer, dance partner, people wrangler, or whatever it may be on top of being your photographer, I GOTCU!

    I am a wedding film maker and I have had the pleasure of working with Tiffany on many occasions. She is very good at her job and is laid back, easy to work with and makes everyone feel comfortable on their wedding days. Sometimes Videographers and Photographers can clash on a wedding day, but Tiffany goes above and beyond to make sure we work together well. That's a big deal, because the last thing you want is two vendors fighting on the biggest day of your life. There are no second chances on a wedding day. I highly recommend Tiffany and when you decide to hire her, just know that you are in the best hands and you'll be so thankful you had her as your Photographer once your wedding day is over and you can relive those moments with breathtaking photos.

We are a brand for adventurers, for lovers of life, and genuine people who love those little moments between the moments in life and seek out truth over perfection. Your marriage is unique because of the relationships you have with the people you choose to celebrate with. Spending my day with you and your closest family and friends brings me such joy, and creating art out of some of the best moments of your life is something I am truly honored to be a part of for so many.

    Knowing how much of a financial investment a wedding photographer was going to be, I did not take my decision lightly. I reached out to several companies and had several questions when determining who would be the right fit. And I have to say, Marie was by far the most understanding and compassionate during that process. While many photographers seemed annoyed by the (many) questions I would ask before booking, Marie was patient and very thoughtful with her responses -- she even took time to arrange a phone call with me while traveling! And during that phone call, she made sure I didn't feel rushed and that she answered all questions I had fully, it truly felt like I was talking to a friend. That was when I made the decision to book with Marie. Beyond that, when booking the session for our Engagement photos, she brought several creative and adventurous ideas to the table and had the PERFECT locations to take us to. We had a blast together. I would recommend Marie to anyone looking for a photographer who is friendly, compassionate, accommodating and just a joy to be around.

    At the end of the day, all we have are the stories told about us and the ones we write about ourselves. I love writing about the musings of life and sharing my thoughts with others in conversation and social media posts. I constantly document my own life so I don't forget the big or little moments. Every time I travel to somewhere new I love connecting with those who cross my path, and yet I equally love coming home to my dog. TLDR: sentimental soul, avid movie goer, mental health advocate, and decent chocolate chip cookie maker.

    where do i even begin? we were so blessed to have Rachael with us on our special day. we hired Carissa for our wedding photography & chose to have her bring an extra shooter with & BOOM! we somehow got blessed with Rachael as our bonus. i could go on about everything from her amazing personality, the positivity & happiness absolutely exuding from her at all times, her killer taste in music, the sheer talent that is her photography skills (both behind the camera & assisting in posing with such ease), to the way she somehow makes it feel like an old friend is with you every step of your wedding day (even if it’s the first day you met her), wrapping you in her beautiful scarf to keep you warm between photos & the ceremony because you were shivering, & is even willing to join your friends and family on the dance floor amidst capturing the most amazing memories for you. never did i feel rushed, if anything she helped me keep my cool about my timeline & helped ease so much of my anxiety about it. okay, i know what you’re thinking, “amy this seems like an excessive rant for a wedding photographer.” BUT YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND!! our photography was one part of our wedding we were willing to splurge on, & if i hadn’t decided we absolutely needed a second photographer for the day then i would have never been absolutely blessed with Rachael. not only did she capture so many of our posed moments, but more importantly the candid moments that i was too busy spinning around like a maniac to notice & are now some of my favorite pictures. our photographers are one part of our day that i will FOREVER absolutely rave about to everyone & always recommend to future brides because i want them to be able to experience the same beautiful souls & genuinely perfect encounter i got that day. Rachael is the kind of person you want to reach out to when you’re thinking about future photoshoots, & who makes you want to do photoshoots just for an excuse to get to experience both her presence & her absolute talent again. if you were debating hiring Rachael, PLEASE don’t second guess it. you will NOT be disappointed.

If that means celebrating miles into the beautiful Ozark Mountains, floating by kayak or canoe on the most scenic riverways of Missouri or from the belly of the Earth in the most beautiful cave America has to offer, I would love to help you create the BEST Adventure of your lives. 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. I'll be your Hype Girl, Map Reader, Chaos Coordinator, Photographer and Friend.

    Lindsey is such an easy going fun person to be around. She is a great vendor to work with and has the experience to back it up. She loves her job and will undoubtedly make your photos something to love for generations. You would be hard pressed to find someone who more all in on your wedding day.

    I'm a caretaker by nature. (Enneagram fan? I'm a 2w3) I love to laugh and am often told I have a calming presence. My friends tell me I have a huge heart and am a good listener. Except my husband says I am a horrible listener but I think that's just to him! I love cats, craft beer, burlesque and radical self care!

    Awarded Best of Zola
    I'm going to break this down as simply as possible...... Melissa is a dream come true. She is everything you could ask for in a photographer and SO MUCH MORE. She's professional, kind,an excellent communicator, and has the best creative eye. But that's not all that makes Melissa great; she has the ability to make you feel comfortable. My husband is a shy, introverted kind of dude - the kind who'd rather do household chores than pose in front of a camera and smile - and Melissa has this nature about her that made him feel relaxed and at ease to catch our best moments. All of that is just touching a little bit on the SKILL Melissa has. Besides her exceptional talent, she is a joy to be around, Melissa brightens a room! You can't help but feel like your best self around her... it makes for some really wonderful digital lifetime memories. Can't say enough about what a treasure Melissa is. 10 out of 5 stars, easy.

    This team is just incredible. I came in late in the game, no idea what I was doing, just looking for someone to take a couple photos to prove my wedding happened. My budget made me nervous, as a lot of photographers charge a lot more than I could afford (which is totally fair, that’s on my budget, not their prices). MSMP met me with so much kindness, support, and flexibility, and the photos are better than I ever could have dreamed!! My wedding photos went from the biggest source of anxiety to an absolute treasure, I’m so eternally grateful!

We've photographed love stories from Mexico to the Rocky Mountains and beyond.

Our goal is to blow your mind with photos that make your mother-in-law cry and your best friends say "holy shit!" If you want wedding photos that aren't just wedding photos, you're in the right place.

    Holy sh**. Excuse my language, but It is needed to make sure that those of you reading this understand how sincerly amazing Jay and Larissa are. We have used them to photograph us personally as a couple and have used them for a wedding of family friends; and newborn pictures of my Niece, Harper. Each and every experience and photo shoot and email and text and phone call with them has been perfectly professional, fun, and reasonable. The prices are great, the people are great- and the photos are freakin perfect. Unique and fun and different- but also traditional for those seeking that. Jay and Larrisa are an amazing couple and they take seriously great photos. We will be using them for the next niece who is soon to arrive, and for engagement and wedding photos in the upcoming years. PLEASE give them a call today- they are the best!!!!!

    I am a Chicago-based wedding + elopement photographer. I am available worldwide and love to travel! I document genuine moments for couples, no matter who they love. My images are the perfect mix of posed and photojournalistic, giving you gorgeous portraits without missing the important, candid moments you will want to remember for years to come. My approach to wedding days is simple: I want to make sure you have images of you two that you love and cherish and tell your wedding day story.

    Tawny did both our wedding photos and our engagement shoot, and we were so happy with both results! She got just the vibe we were looking for and had a great mix of posed and candid shots. Turnaround was quick and all of our guests said our photos were incredible, as well.

    We are a husband/wife team who specializes in couples and weddings. After living in Michigan and capturing weddings there the last 7 years, we are excited to be back home in the Ozarks and look forward to meeting and serving couples in this area.

    Clarissa and Tim were so on top of everything for us that we didn't have to worry about anything, they knew exactly what to do! They were very flexible with how the day went but still made sure to get all the key moments from different angles while being discreet. On top of being great photographers they are very sweet, respectful of boundaries for those they are photographing, and worked well with all the age groups at our wedding. All of our photos by them have been well complimented!

    I have a journalistic approach to wedding days but I'm also there to help pose you, make you comfortable and guide you along! My end goal as your wedding photographer is, and will always be, giving you images of your special day in a quirky, honest, and emotional way. I love to catch the small moments that go by too quickly between all of the BIG moments that your heart will never forget!

    Where do I even start to describe Misty Nolan and our experience with her as our wedding photographer! My partner and I met and instantly connected with her. She was funny, kind, and so incredibly passionate about photography. She answered all our questions and put us at ease about everything. She made us feel comfortable and like we were friends. She was in regular contact with us throughout the wedding planning process and always voiced how excited she was for us and our big day. On our actual wedding day she went completely above and beyond to be there for us making adjustments last minute without hesitation to ease our schedule. She made us and both our wedding parties laugh many times over. My partner and I really wanted someone to capture who we were in a natural and candid way and Misty did just that! We are absolutely in love with our wedding photos. She captured our day in a whimsical and romantic fashion. Everything was green and lush and our photos are filled with joy. I don't know how she it but on our big day she was everywhere at once! My now wife and I say all the time booking Misty Nolan for our wedding was our best and easiest wedding decision.

    We are Kristi & Nathan, we’re married, we love love, and we’re here to tell stories authentically. Based in the Midwest, we never charge for travel because we believe you should be able to hire the photographers you love without worrying about extra fees. We love to create space for you to be yourselves, honest and unhinged, not posed, not fake. We want to capture you as you are in this moment in your lives, because love is magical. With freedom to be yourselves, emotion and beauty come through.

    Our journey to finding our wedding photographer did not start well. Our wedding was in Montana and we reached out to a local photographer who seemed great at first. Then as soon as she found out it was a gay wedding, she backed out. Needless to say we were devastated that the very first person we reached out to was cruel enough to stoop that low. However, we will forever be grateful she did, because that brought us to Kristin and Nathan! We stumbled across Made to be Mine by pure luck while scrolling through Instagram one day. Right from the start they blew us away with their dreamy, jaw-dropping, moody AF photography style. Mix that with their kindness & compassion and we knew we found the perfect fit for us! We ended up needing to reschedule our wedding due to Covid and they made that stressful situation so much better by being super supportive and understanding. Moving our wedding date actually ended up working out in our favor because it gave us time to meet them for an engagement shoot! We already knew Kristi and Nathan were talented, but we left the engagement shoot in aww. My wife and I are usually so awkward in photos, but Kristi and Nathan made us look like naturals! They go out of their way to make you feel comfortable and relaxed. It honestly felt like we were just hangin with friends who just happen to be taking stunning photos of us at the same time. Flash to the wedding and let me tell you, they did not disappoint!! Everything from us, family, friends and the beautiful venue was captured absolutely perfectly. (Pro tip, have them do the drone video for you. You’ll thank me later.) When we were sent our official wedding photos, it wasn’t just an online link. Oh no, Made to be Mine of course goes the extra mile and sent us a literal wedding photo experience! We received actual prints of a few of their favs, zip drives of the beautifully edited video, the photos as well as extra little video clips from the day. All in a cute custom box with other fun little goodies in it. We seriously can’t recommend these guys enough. We truly feel like we’ve gained life long friends throughout this process and we’re beyond grateful for the amazing photos we get to look at on our wall everyday.

The place your heart always knows to come back to, even when you feel lost and life gives you a hard squeeze. Because that’s what I’m really here to capture: Posterity.
