Rick Jennisch Photography
Bettendorf, IA
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,800

It’s not unusual to find me spending hours editing and creating after a photoshoot. I have the rare opportunity in life to do what I love and create images that people will cherish for generations to come! Photojournalism and documentary wedding photography is my favorite style and the majority of images I capture fall into this category. A good wedding photographer will anticipate the important moments of the day and capture them as they happen, instead of staging and directing the day's events.

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.

OLAS was wonderful to work with! They listened to what we wanted and fulfilled our wishes! Thank you to Peter for doing a fabulous job with the videography. He had more than one camera set up to get all the angles needed for the finished product. He also had a drone that we requested, which captured our beautiful venue from up above. Darcy and Hannah were wonderful to work with as well and answered my emails in a timely manner. Thank you to OLAS for being apart of our special day!

I don’t feel I have to describe the quality of her work - but it is amazing! She has quick turn around times and she truly cares for her clients experience. BUT when you hire Heather you don’t just get a photographer, you get a wedding planner, you get a vent buddy for all the wedding stress, you get a coach and you get a friend. Heather was by far the best investment in my wedding day!

Are you frustrated with combing through page after page of the same old cliche'd wedding photos? Looking for something classic and timeless but with a bit of an edge? We got you. I've been creating wedding day memories for over a decade now. New Orleans. Chicago. Minneapolis. The PNW. NYC. We travel all over this country, and even internationally, when the right opportunity presents itself, documenting love stories for our amazing couples. Our goal with each new wedding, is not to be just good or “good enough”--the goal is to be world-class, one of the top wedding photography teams in the world. Each couple helps us accomplish this.

Awarded Best of Zola
I haaaate having my photo taken. I was super anxious about the whole process going into it. It takes a certain amount of trust to let someone photograph you... Jay and his Bellocq team were A from start to finish. We were blown away by A) the sheer amount of photos given back (they don't cap their packages at certain photo counts) and B) how seamlessly the entire collection flowed together from start to finish. We couldn't have asked for more. We will definitely be re-booking them for our family photos (first baby on the way!!!) in the future. Jay is incredibly kind and fun to be around, and just puts you at ease. That is the first thing you'll notice when you meet. Can't recommend Bellocq enough!!!

Nelena and Dom took photos at my rustic/modern wedding at cider mill in Princeton, Illinois. Once the four of us met, my husband and I loved how easy it was to speak to Nelena and Dom and how they immediately understood where we were coming from. As introverts we wanted a photographer with a larger-than-life personality, someone who would find candid moments on our day and Andreoni Photography really brought the fun. I can’t stress enough how truly wonderful our experience was. The two of them worked so well together. They brought so much excitement and fun when capturing photos of our wedding party. Nelena and Dom were always so responsive to my many questions and concerns I had. I could expect a response from either of them within 24 hours and usually much quicker than that. The first time my now-husband and I saw the photos, we melted! We had a date night and snuggled up on the couch, and loaded the photos onto our big screen. It truly felt like we were back on our special day. We loved the unique poses and fun and intimate moments Andreoni photography captured. I had no idea our small town wedding could look so incredibly beautiful. The finished photos ooze class, sophistication and refinement.

Couples and wedding photography can be SO stressful--the pressure to look and be a certain way or follow trends is INTENSE. Wedding stress is real and I am anti it all the way. For my couples, they're job is just to show up and have fun. I will do ALL the rest!

Hey future newlyweds! I'm Jarrod, a wedding photographer that specializes in story telling. Tired of all the bright, overposed, cookie cutter sh*t you keep seeing? Let's create wedding images with real emotion, story, and intention to them. I know being in front of the camera can be awkward.

These prompts will help you feel comfortable and also help create candid images. Check out my website for more info :)

I was introduced to the world of photography the same week I was introduced to the world! All thanks to my Dad, who was never without his camcorder or camera. Because of him, our memories growing up are preserved. Then I got my first camera + tons of film. I documented everything. When film turned into digital, that was a turning point in my life. Since then, my memories, large + small, have been organized on my computer, by year. So I can go back + revisit so many wonderful memories from my life...most which I wouldn't remember without pictures!

I've always been a creative at heart, my own mother is an artist so maybe it's genetic? However, photography was never on my radar. One fateful day, a friend reached out to me requesting engagement photos for her and her love. My iPhone and I were absolutely honored at the opportunity! After the debut of those beautiful, phone quality captures, the inquiries came rolling in! I was pleasantly surprised and within months decided it was only right to invest in proper gear. Officially established in 2021, I've been beyond blessed with the chance to meet so many wonderful people and capture their once in a lifetime moments! Anya Grace 🖤

Anya is a highly talented photographer. I struggle with following simple directions, which may be due to the language barrier as English is not my native language. However, Anya was extremely patient with me. I hired her twice for my wedding and graduation pictures, but I actually worked with her three times, including engagement photos, the wedding, and the graduation shoot. She made me feel like a celebrity in all the pictures. I highly recommend her to everyone.

Dan was our wedding photographer for our Florida destination wedding and we are over the moon from all the photos. He captured our personalities and all the good vibes from the weekend. Our sunset couple pictures are stunning! I highly recommended Dan for wedding photography. I have never known a photographer that made everyone so comfortable. Even the groomsmen who usually hate photos were having fun getting their pictures taken. We got the photos around 6 weeks after the wedding which was incredible. We got so many beautiful photos and I still love going through them. He captured the fun vibe throughout the whole day. We got a wedding album as well as some canvas prints with the photos and love seeing them around the house. You will not regret hiring Dan for any of your photography needs.

Born and raised in Brooklyn.. one of the best cities in the world. From a young age, I was into Art starting with drawings in my notebook which I eventually end up going to school for Art. When Im not capturing weddings, I like to binge watch Netflix, play video games, go to conventions.. and I love Harry Potter. I've been photographing weddings since 2011 and looking forward to many more decades to come. As a wedding photographer, I believe in the beauty of intimate celebrations and am excited to capture the essence of your love story through my lens.

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.

I’ll try to keep this short: I’m a silly, introverted, rule breaker with a sincere whimsical streak. Originally from Iowa with a decent chunk of time spent bopping between Minneapolis and Oregon, I love weddings + photography (duh), my nephew, a stiff gin + tonic, propagating too many damn houseplants, and my cats. Last I checked I’m an INFP, Enneagram 4, and Capricorn which makes me quite the pragmatic daydreamer + observer: as unnecessarily prepared as a Boy Scout, curiously creative, and hella laid back, all of which uniquely prepares me for the ebb and flow of a wedding day.

Caitlin is a dream. From the time she arrived to the beginning moments of our wedding, Caitlin right away was comfortable with everyone. She brings an ease which allows people be calm and we honestly forgot she was there, snapping away. There were many moments where she would check in and make sure everyone was good, the energy was so sweet. We received our photos right when she said they would be done. The work Caitlin does captures the warmth, and light of a love event. My husband cried the first, second and third time we looked though the collection. We will treasure them forever. Highly, highly recommend her! 100%

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 just want to start out by saying my fiancé and I are the literal worst when it comes to being in front of a camera. We’re awkward, we’re stiff & we joke too much lol. When looking for a wedding photographer I wanted to find someone of course who had talent and beautiful editing skills but I also wanted to be comfortable, I wanted something personal with my photographer. And boy did I hit the jackpot with Mina! Her skills are INCREDIBLE. Our photos are absolutely stunning and I’ve received so many compliments. Not only that but we received our photos so quickly. A lot of people only give you the bare minimum edited photos but she edited almost every single one!! I absolutely love her to death, she made my fiancé and I feel so comfortable that we were able to open up and I feel like she truly captured who we were. Not only did I secure the best photographer but I’ve also made a lifelong friend. 10/10 recommend

Thanks to the trust that my clients put in me, I get to do what I do best — and that’s create.

I'm an event planner that has worked with Erika since she first started her business. Her focus and hard work are the keystones to her success. Her photos are interesting, detailed, and totally unique. She has the ability to capture moments that are missed by most.

I believe you can't stand behind your business unless you can say you fully understand it – and 24 years of marriage is proof that I KNOW LOVE. I set out to capture the essence of love when I started Parker Photography in 2018. I have been married to my best friend for the last 24 years, and people who meet us swear we are newlyweds. We still act like lovestruck teenagers with each other, that same feeling we get from every newly engaged couple that we meet. We know where our couples are coming from and what they hope to capture in their engagement sessions and on their wedding day, and we make it effortless for them to achieve their goals.

We are still chasing that dream and capturing so many amazing moments along the way. We have 3 wonderful children who are the fuel of our lives' drive. I (Rachel) am a lover of detail and David lives life on the edge. Together, we are a complementary couple and you'll definitely sense it when you work with us! Let's connect!

It was an absolute pleasure to work with Rachel and David on and leading up to our wedding day! From the moment I logged on to our first consultation with Rachel I knew we were in good hands. Her process for working with us was clear, straightforward, and attentive to detail. We were so glad that we were able to work with both Rachel and David and that they were willing to travel to South Bend, IN at a very reasonable cost. They were able to demonstrate poses together and each brought their own warmth and creativity to the shoot. They gave excellent directions and were exceptionally kind and patient with our family. The results are absolutely stunning - crisp, classic photos that celebrate our loved ones and even the smallest details of our wedding day! Our family and friends can't say enough about how wonderful they were to work with and how much they love the photos. We agree - we can't recommend Those McKissics highly enough!

Hey there! My name is Angelina and I started practicing photography in August 2020, but I've had an interest in it since I was 13 years old (I really wanted to shoot for National Geographic). Now I've expanded into portraits, engagement sessions, and I've done small weddings. I'm a Chicago native but I've also lived in Iowa, Arizona, Nebraska, & Texas. What can I say, I enjoyed a somewhat nomadic lifestyle. I have recently moved back to Illinois in the town of Channahon. My style of photography is more documentary-esque. Either way, I enjoy conceptualizing with clients to find what works for you!

Angelina was such a breath of fresh air. You all know how stressful hosting events can be let alone having a wedding! She came early to the venue which calmed my nerves, and made genuine connections with everyone to produce some of the best photos. What I appreciated most was her professionalism and authenticity.
