The Best Fine Art Wedding Photographers in New Athens, IL

I'm Katie, a fine art photographer based in St. Louis, who takes a light + airy + photojournalistic approach to capturing all the natural, beautiful moments that happen throughout your day. I truly love your wedding and all the details you have put into planning it and can't wait to hear all about your day. From the beginning, we will get to know each other with an engagement session, and I will help you organize your timeline and provide my professional guidance to make sure every detail and moment is beautifully captured.

My name is Samantha and I am the owner of SKH Photography. I take pride in showcasing my style on professional photography. I understand that everyone has an independent expression of who they are. My goal is to capture the unique quality and personality of every individual I photograph. Being able to capture who my clients are and the memories they are making is what I truly love about taking pictures. My passion for photography started in 2013 after I graduated high school. After that I started working with a local photographer who took me under her wing and helped me pursue my passion and I started my business in 2014.

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.

Photography became personal to me through loss and the reminder that life is fleeting. After losing two of my best friends in high school, photos became more than images. They became memories I deeply treasure. I’ve been a self-made photographer since 2019, and in 2020 I spent a year in Atlanta second shooting luxury weddings, refining my craft and style. I later moved back home to Salem, IL to be close to family and now proudly serve the Southern Illinois and St. Louis areas, capturing meaningful moments with intention, joy, and heart.

Hey hey! I'm Becca and I’m probably the most camera-shy person you’ll ever meet! I admit, becoming a photographer is an interesting choice for someone who isn’t good in front of the camera, but I believe this weakness is the exact reason why I’ve become a candid and authentic photographer. Since I would hate for anyone I work with to feel uncomfortable, I’ve perfected the art of making you forget all about the camera. You’ll get to know me on a personal level and working with me won’t feel like a business transaction – but rather like hanging out with a friend who happens to be really good at capturing you just the way you are.

Hey y’all! I am Brittany, the photographer behind the dream team that is blkPhotography. I will be celebrating 15 years of business in 2024! 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.

Your wedding is a single day that you will revisit for the rest of your life. The photography is what you actually keep, so it had better be extraordinary. Zach Dalin brings premium, cinematic, editorial coverage and a white-glove, full-service process that runs from the first consultation through a personal reveal of your finished images. That is what separates high-end wedding photography from a standard package: the eye, the calm under pressure, and the care taken with the day itself.

I’m based in St. Louis and have spent over a decade photographing weddings and people. Over time, my work has settled into a blend of documentary observation and editorial sensibility, guided more by instinct and attention than by trends. I work with both film and digital photography, choosing each for what it does best. Film brings a sense of familiarity and softness. Digital allows for flexibility and precision. Together, they create a body of work that feels honest, considered, and lasting. That perspective and the way photos get made didn’t come from a single moment. It’s been shaped slowly, over time.

I love love. I love that people fall in love. I adore weddings. Color is my favorite. Red is my favorite color. To capture the emotion of a person excites me. My favorite people are awesome people. I think my clients are awesome. I love strong coffee. Red wine is my favorite. My favorite stories are love stories. I am a romantic. I have amazing clients who share their lives with me. I am in love with God’s word.

The wedding photography experience with me feels peaceful, complete and kind. I believe you should feel completely taken care of on your wedding day. I want you to be smiling, relaxed, soaking in every minute, feel free to be yourselves. I want you to trust me.

Hi, I'm Ashley! I am a fine art film photographer in St. Louis, Missouri. There is nothing I love more than being able to capture the most special moments for couples on their wedding day! I shoot both film and digital photography but film really has my heart. The way that film captures light and color in such a timeless way is absolutely magical! I love capturing the authentic emotion and real moments from a wedding day, as well as all of the little details. Being able to capture these for couples so that they can have heirlooms to treasure always is what I really adore about photography.

I truly believe in happily ever after. Nearly every weekend for eleven years, I’ve had the incredible blessing of being entrusted to capture the romance between couples, beautiful details, lighthearted and fun friendships, tender reactions of parents and grandparents, and the sweet moments that make up a wedding day. I believe that as your memories of this incredible day fade, your classic & timeless photographs will take you right back to when you said, “I do."
