  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves New Athens, IL

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.

“Rachael is so great to work with! She is personable, fun, and laidback. She kept the session fun and captured amazing shots. Her work is incredible! I highly recommend her!”

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.

Rebecca Stephenson Photography

  • Serves New Athens, IL

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.

“Rebecca was INCREDIBLE! My husband and I get very uncomfortable in front of the camera. Cue Rebecca, photography angel. We booked engagement and wedding photos with her and we are ridiculously happy with all of our photos; they are natural yet stunning AND you can tell we are having fun. Rebecca also was 100% down for anything when our wedding plans changed last minute and rolled with the punches all day on our wedding day (late flowers, late bridesmaids, you name it!) which helped keep me calm and stress free the whole day. Hire her, hire her right this second!!”

“Courtney and Dylan create magic! My husband and I are not the most comfortable in front of the camera, and Courtney and Dylan made it easy!

Even when the weather threw us a curveball, I was so confident that Courtney, Dylan, and their team would ensure that we would have incredible photos from our day.

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.

“Brittany was a pleasure to work with. She put us at ease throughout the entire wedding planning process — from the initial Zoom call to the last-minute call the week before the wedding to calm my nerves with the tight morning timeline. The quality of her work was simply gorgeous — her editing style is so fresh and natural, which is exactly what we were looking for to capture the beauty of our venue and all the special moments of our day. Brittany even provided helpful posing tips ("shoulders back") on the wedding day to help us feel and look our best in our photos. The preview photos we've received are magazine-worthy, and we can't wait to see the full gallery. Brittany with blkphotography provided incredible value, and we highly recommend her to any couple.”

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.

Derek Coffman Photography 
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $5,000
  • Serves New Athens, IL

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.

“We had our wedding in California and Edgar flew out and helped make our day so memorable! We didn't know him before and didn't end up doing an engagement shoot (so I was a little nervous) but he absolutely nailed it. His photos are stunning (I've gotten a TON of compliments on them), he is extremely communicative, and he had a bunch of photos ready to go by the end of the wedding. Both me and my husband aren't great at posing for photos and he knew exactly how to place us without it feeling faked. Super easy to work with and just a really nice guy. I'd highly recommend him to anyone!”

Sentimental soul, avid movie goer, former middle school teacher, mental health advocate, renaissance faire attender, long-story-long teller, dog lover, farmer's market shopper, and decent chocolate chip cookie maker.

“Rachael was our photographer for our September 2023 wedding. There is no question that she was the absolute best person we could have had for such a special day. From beginning to end Rach helped us plan and execute our vision. We were not using a wedding planner, so she helped us get a lot of details and timelines on track. She also made sure we had fun and were able to relax through the whole process. On our wedding day Rach showed up ready to go and excited for a fun day. She captured so many beautiful moments between our first look, moments with family, ceremony, and reception. She also gifted us a moment alone to talk and take in the day just the two of us - it was so special and intimate. I will always cherish the memories and details she captured for us. Rachael also did our engagement shoot a few months before the wedding and those photos are so incredibly breathtaking. Some people have such a talent and artistry in what they do and Rachael is one of those people. If you are looking for someone who will become your friend, make you feel beautiful, and most importantly capture these special moments in a way that brings back every emotion of life and love when you look back at the photos, we 10000% recommend Rachael.”

“From the moment we met Mary, we knew we wanted her to capture our special day. She is an amazing human and incredibly talented - I mean, just look at her work and it says it all! Her photography style is just beautiful. From the start, Mary was very in-tune with us and truly listened to what our vision was and then brought it to life even better than we could have imagined. She was by our side throughout the entire process, even including on our wedding day, beyond just capturing the moment, she was helping guide us through the day. Mary was truly our favorite “vendor” that was part of our wedding day - we got excited every time we were going to talk to her ahead of our wedding and we were ecstatic when we finally got to meet her IRL - she is just such a cool & talented human! Now that it’s all over, we’re so thankful to have the amazing photography that Mary captured, which we will be able to look back on for the rest of our lives. Thank you Mary, for being such an important part of our day and for capturing our day.”

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!

“Grace was a pleasure to work with during the wedding planning process. She was timely in her responses and upfront with pricing. On the day of the wedding, it felt like we were herding cats, but she remained professional and efficient. Even though we were running behind schedule with getting dressed, she managed to squeeze in a few dress shots and some first look photos. Grace remained patient even as some of our friends and family showed up late for photos! As we moved between locations, she made sure I was holding my dress in a way so that I wouldn’t fall on my face. She also helped my MOH bustle my dress after the ceremony (again, so I wouldn’t fall on my face). Grace was always cognizant of the lighting on location, and how it would affect photos. Her assistant, Joey, was lovely and accommodating as well. All in all, a wonderful experience!”

One thing that really made them stand out was that they offer so many different editing styles to choose from, so we were able to pick exactly the look we wanted. They also got our photos back to us super quickly—about a week after the wedding—which was such a nice surprise. The photos turned out beautiful and they captured all the big moments and some great candid shots. I especially love how cool the dance floor shots turned out.

Hi! I'm Christin, a destination wedding photographer based in Chattanooga, TN. Specializing in timeless and artful imagery, my expertise goes beyond just taking photos; it's about crafting a visual story that reflects the joy, love, and unique spirit of your celebration.

“Working with Christin at Christin Sofka Photography was one of the absolute highlights of our wedding journey. From our very first inquiry to the days following our wedding, Christin has been nothing short of phenomenal—responsive, professional, fun, and such a warm presence throughout. We initially found her because of her stunning photography style, but it was her incredible personality that sealed the deal. From our first call, she genuinely wanted to get to know us—our story, our vibe, our vision—and it showed in everything she did. Before we even officially hired her, Christin was helping us find a venue that aligned with our dream, connecting us with other amazing vendors, and offering support in ways far beyond the role of a photographer. She was in it with us every step of the way. I’m usually awkward in front of a camera, but somehow Christin made it feel effortless and fun. She created an environment where we could just be ourselves—and that joy, love, and personality came through in every photo. Our pictures shine with who we are. Every idea we had, she embraced and brought to life in ways that exceeded our expectations. She was just as excited as we were the entire time—and honestly, I can’t imagine our day without her. Christin is not just a photographer—she’s a true artist, a cheerleader, and a calming, creative force you’ll be so lucky to have by your side. If you’re considering hiring her: do it. You’ll be singing her praises too.”
