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!

K.M. Goodson Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with on our wedding day. From the very beginning, their communication style was relatable, relaxing, and fun - it felt like we were working with a close friend rather than a vendor. On the day of, the photographer not only captured every beautiful detail with incredible skill, but also went above and beyond to ensure I was taken care of.

Awarded Best of Zola
Our wedding day was just perfect! We hired photo and video from Ivory Grove. The planning process was very organized— lots of thoughtful communication on what pictures we wanted, moments to be sure to capture, etc. The entire day ran smoothly, and we were very happy with the shots the photographer and videographer were taking (all the fun getting-ready pics, first look, etc). When the fantastic day is over, however, all you have to look back on are the pictures and videos, so we stayed a little nervous until receiving all the photos and footage. And WOW! We are so happy— Everything turned out beautiful! We also enjoyed going through all the raw video footage and watching our guests enjoy the day. Highly recommend Ivory Grove!

Brea Photography

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.

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.

They were easy to contact, quick to reply, readily accessible, incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. Our wedding package included engagement photos, which were equally as beautiful. Finding a wedding photographer that we 'clicked with' was the most difficult part of wedding planning for me - until I had my first phone call with Jeremy. I instantly felt comfortable, like I was talking to a friend. I'm trying to figure out what other events we could get photographed so we can see them again, lol (but seriously). HIRE THIS COMPANY!

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.

Katie and Mike photographed our wedding last summer, and did the most phenomenal job. Communication with them was super clear and seamless from the get-go. Katie was available and so professional and easy. They were super chill and easygoing during the rehearsal dinner and day of the wedding. It felt like we could ask them for whatever we needed - they were willing to do whatever they could to make the perfect day happen for us. They took the ideas we had -- for first look, or golden hour photos -- and added their aesthetic sense in a way that made us feel like our photos were out of a movie.They captured our vibe unbelievably well; the pictures were absolutely gorgeous and exceptionally intimate. Even the Instagram post Katie shared of our wedding with sneak peaks was to songs that mean a lot to us, and she didn't even know! We didn't get a videographer, and have no regrets about that because the pictures speak for themselves. Every single picture has a point of view and tells a story. Vein and Vessel could not have captured our story more accurately. We are forever grateful to Katie and Mike.

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.

I felt truly comfortable, confident, and beautiful—something every bride hopes for on such a special day. Never afraid to take any shot—and that creativity shines through in every photo. You captured not just how everything looked, but how it felt. Thank you for creating such a joyful environment. I trusted you completely, and the results are beyond anything I could have imagined. Any bride would be lucky to have you capturing their day.

I love to capture life’s big moments and all that makes your story, your brand, and your family unique.

Working with Alanna at Silver and Sage Photos was such a fun experience! She made me feel completely comfortable in front of the camera and guided me through so many creative poses that made the whole session feel easy and natural. She captured both my personal and business photos beautifully, and I absolutely loved how they turned out. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer!

Hi, I’m Sadie! 🤍 I create timeless, romantic imagery inspired by beautiful natural light, intentional composition, and authentic emotion. My style blends fine art photography with classic portraits to capture the meaningful moments, genuine connections, and details that make your wedding day uniquely yours. I’m passionate about creating a calm, enjoyable experience while helping couples feel comfortable in front of the camera. I would love the opportunity to capture your story and create images you’ll treasure for years to come.

Working with Sadie was one of the best investments I’ve made for my business. From the moment we started, she made the entire experience feel effortless. She has an incredible eye for detail and a gift for capturing not just beautiful photos, but the personality and heart behind a brand. I can be awkward in front of a camera, but Sadie made me feel comfortable, confident, and completely myself. She guided me every step of the way while still allowing my personality to shine through. The final images exceeded every expectation I had. They’re professional, authentic, and tell the story of my business in a way I never could have imagined. If you’re on the fence about booking a branding session, do it. These aren’t just photos. They’re an investment in how the world sees you and your business. Sadie has a talent for bringing your vision to life and capturing the magic that makes your brand uniquely yours. I couldn’t recommend her more highly!

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.

Picking a photographer is such an important decision for your wedding and if you're anything like me, you're going to do your research and compare value and quality to the other companies out there. Trust me when I say there is no other company that I would put my trust in to get the perfect shots every time. Brendan Batchelor Photography continues to exceed our expectations. What started as our engagement/wedding photographer has since turned into my growing family's photographer for life. From family shoots to important events, Brendan consistently delivers beautiful pictures that highlight the best parts of our special events. With Brendan, we were truly able to "stay in the moment" on our special day because of how comfortable Brendan made us feel. He makes you feel relaxed, confident, and natural. We completely trusted him with our photos on our wedding day because his work just can't be beat. His attention to detail and consistency are just some of the things that set him apart. His turn around time for all of the images you receive is also so impressive and he makes it so easy to print and share your pictures. Brendan knows is art so well and pours his heart into his work, making even the smallest moments of the day feel special. He is always prepared and always thinking outside of the box. He even had extra hair pins for me on our wedding day to perfect my hair as the day went on. Upon meeting him, you'll see his kindness and genuine personality which makes him even more of a clear choice. I simply cannot over recommend this company enough!!
