Michayla Slone Photo 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Starts at $5,500
  • Serves Smithboro, IL

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!

Katie is an exceptional photographer, our families and us can not imagine what our wedding photos and engagement photos would have been like with out her. We started with Katie working on our engagement photos, this was a really special time for us and Katie helped make it even more special. She used the time to capture us but to also work with us on what we were comfortable with and what styles we liked. Throughout the entire time she was always spot on with communication and making sure we were taken care of. Following our engagement photo session she had photos available to us quickly that we could use to start sharing with our families and friends. Everyone we showed was amazed by just how great the photos looked from us to the the composition. Katie has a great way of capturing us while also providing works of art that are great for hanging and decorating. During our engagement session we decided to do throw color powder at each other and it was a fun and playful time for us. Katie was equally as excited and did a great job working with to get this special request captured. Leading up to the wedding day Katie was always right there making sure every detail for the day was figured out well in advance so we did not have to worry about photos on the day of our wedding. She provided guidance on suggested groups of people to take photos and other special moments that we would want to capture. She was very clear about the most efficient way to capture family photos so that we could get to our couples photos and so that our families could get to partying after the ceremony. On the day of we were amazed but just how present she was with all the photos while not being overbearing. We got all the moments we had requested and many that we did not even know to ask for. One of the really special moments that she captured for us was when our 80 year old Grandpa stood up insisting on dancing with our family. Katie hurried from across the dance floor to make sure that she was there to capture that for us. Those are pictures we will treasure for a lifetime and something that could have easily been missed but Katie was there. Throughout the entire process Katie made us feel special and a priority we are so grateful for her and her photos that we will be able to look back and see our special day for the rest of our lifetime. She is an amazing photographer and person, anyone would be beyond lucky to have her capture their once in a lifetime moments.

I’m so glad you’re here! I have 14 years of experience capturing special memories. Being part of such important moments in people’s lives is an honor I never take for granted. Most couples aren’t totally comfortable being photographed. And that’s okay! I use interactive posing and natural prompts to help you laugh, relax, and feel like yourselves. I’ll guide you every step of the way with cues that encourage real smiles and authentic connection. I’m here to make the entire process as stress-free as possible. From helping you plan your timeline to offering vendor recommendations, I’ll be with you every step of the way!

We cannot recommend Sarah enough! From start to finish, she was absolutely incredible. First of all, she made us feel like models throughout the entire day. We were blown away by how she captured our most candid, romantic moments with such artistry. Even though we were both a little nervous in front of the camera, she had an amazing ability to make us feel comfortable and confident. But here's the real magic: the weather wasn’t exactly on our side. The day was hot, humid, and rainy—but Sarah was a true trooper. Not only did she continue working in the rain without skipping a beat, but she turned what could’ve been a disaster into an unforgettable moment. She even caught the most stunning rainbow right after the storm passed, and the portrait she took of us under it was absolutely breathtaking. It’s the kind of shot you’ll cherish forever! We are so grateful for Sarah's patience, positivity, and talent. Every time we look at our photos, we're reminded of how lucky we were to have them as part of our special day. If you're looking for a photographer who can go above and beyond while making you look like you just stepped out of a magazine, look no further than Sarah Oberheim! Truly a photographer who knows how to capture both the big moments and the little, magical details. Thank you for making our wedding day so unforgettable!

I was a very particular bride when it came to our music, and they followed my suggestions to a “T” AND they even learned our first dance song so we could dance to it live and not have a recorded version. I promise you won’t regret working with Sean and the rest of the band!!

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.

Hi, I'm Ally. I thrive on crafting beautiful events and honing in on the details that make each wedding truly one-of-a-kind. My goa is to ensure that every couple's special day is infused with their unique story, making their dreams come to life in the most magical way possible. My adventure in wedding planning began in 2022 and I've since had the priviledge of collaborating with many couples, transforming their visions into stunning realities.

Ally is very organized and professional, she was the perfect liaison to each of our wedding vendors and owned these relationships upon hire. She assisted in all aspects of our ceremony, reception site, band/DJ arrangement, floral design, seating charts, menu selections, favors and dress fittings. Ally went above and beyond to ensure my vision for our wedding day was met and actually, it was exceeded. My husband and I were able to focus on our family and friends and truly enjoy the day - it goes by so fast in the moment. She was present for the entire event and made sure all details were delivered, she even recorded our first dance and I will cherish that forever! If you are a bride looking for the best wing woman (I didn't want to burden my bridesmaids) to take most of the pressure off of you - Ally is the woman!

Erin is so sweet, easy to work with and their food was amazing! I am a vegetarian and she made it so easy for our guests to enjoy both vegetarian and local meat options. We got so many compliments throughout the night of our wedding and even weeks after on how great our food was. A couple times throughout the night Erin came up to me asking what I wanted to drink, because I was busy trying to talk to all the guests! I didn’t expect it and really appreciated that! I also love how everything they get is made locally and they are big on minimum waste. I would cater from Seed Sprout Spoon 100% again!

I know it is the most incredible experience having everyone you love together in one place to celebrate you. Aside from the births of my babies, my wedding was the best day ever. But being a mom has made me appreciate photography the most — I know how fleeting time is and how important it is to have printed memories of those you love dearly. Tomorrow isn’t promised and I want to document you with your favorite people as they are today.

Words can't even begin to express our complete adoration, immense gratitude, and delight in working with Cassidy! We had originally booked her for our larger wedding that was postponed due to COVID-19 and she made the rebooking process so easy and reassured us during a very stressful time. We ended up moving forward with an intimate wedding on our original date and she was the first person we reached out to. She was an absolute dream and source of endless enthusiasm and support as we reimagined and redesigned our day. She totally got our vision and seamlessly integrated into the day to capture everything as it unfolded. She beautifully captured the emotion and joy between us and our families. We love that the photos have that "real life, but better" look that will help us preserve the feeling of the day rather than the stuffy look of traditional wedding photos. Our families can't stop raving about how gorgeous the images are. Cassidy, we love you and are so so appreciative to have had you work your magic! We will cherish these photos for a lifetime.
