  • Fine art style

Hey y’all! I am Brittany, the photographer behind the dream team that is blkPhotography. I will be celebrating TEN years of business in 2020! TEN! 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.

Nora Sandoval Photography
Saint Louis, MO
  • Photojournalistic style

I’m a lover of adventure, a dreamer, an artist, and - full disclosure - slightly addicted to wedding cake. Actually, all cake. Actually actually, most desserts, in general. I have a soft spot for film photography, bright colors, small dogs and big smiles. I was born and raised in St. Louis, and am a fan of all things arts & crafts, especially counted cross stitch; irony, tattoos, anything Chris Cornell, most nerdy things but above all Harry Potter (Ravenclaws, holler at your girl), heartbreaking harmonies, inventing my own words, golden hour sunflares, leopard print, neon signs, and stopping to smell the roses.

Juniper and Oak Photo, LLC
Lake St. Louis, MO
  • Photojournalistic style

I'm St Louis wedding photographer, Becky Hassel. I don't believe I chose wedding photography. I believe I was destined for this role. Twenty eight years ago my grandfather passed away. The only thing I have left of my childhood best friend are memories and those memories, in my own aging, are slowly fading. Your marriage is such a valuable and personal memory that can not be replaced. I strive to capture those moments in a genuinely authentic process that allows you to always remember those timeless moments just as they happened.

One thing can be said of John and Gina Lewis, is that they're always busy. Photographers, Videographers, Interior Designers, and pastors are only a few of their titles. They are the founders of the Lewis and Oak brand and together they are a team in everything they do. John simply adores Gina with all of her grace and beauty. She succeeds at everything she puts her hands to. Although he hates to say it...when she puts her hands to an SNES controller for a game of Dr. Mario she succeeds at that as well... to John's demise. Gina operates an Etsy shop that caters to like minds of those who love the modern/vintage style.

When we are shooting together, we want it to feel like a day you spend with your best friends. We get to step into someone else’s world for a day. The people they love most are telling them why they love them and how they have changed their life. The words we hear, along with the emotions we witness are profoundly moving.

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,500

Welcome to my little corner of the internet! I grew up with a camera in my hand, and now at the age of 27 I get to call this a full-time-kind-of-thing. I was born and raised in St. Louis, a city I like to call my little big town. After high school I pursued cosmetology, but after a year made the decision to get out from behind a chair, and get behind a camera again. I met my husband right around this same time - were engaged a year later, and married six months after that! Capturing people, doing what they love, or with the ones they love, is my passion. I hope after learning more about me, I have the opportunity to learn more about you!

Sandra Grunzinger Photography
St. Louis, MO
  • Editorial style

Hi! I'm Sandra, a wedding photographer serving the St. Louis area, recovering designer, wife, twin mom, and life-long nerd. On any given day, you can find me chasing my little boys, (yes, they're identical!) writing or editing on my laptop, or watching sci-fi shows on the couch with my husband. My goal as a photographer is not just to take pretty pictures, but to capture emotion, connection, and who you really are. I do what I do to capture relaxed, candid, beautiful moments instead of overly posed or cookie-cutter imagery. I find the best way to foster the connections that result in those genuine images is to invest in people over things.

Mindee Malloy Photography
Saint Louis, MO

    Life is not perfectly posed and neither are my photos. I want to capture your family as you are, the love you felt on your wedding day, the joy of your new baby, your children's little quirks. I want to freeze the snuggles, the kisses, the laughter so when you look back on your photos years from now, you remember all the magic.

    Just like you, I have felt awkward in front of the camera. I’ve had photos taken of me that I didn’t like. When you go on a session with me, I will not only make you feel comfortable, but I will make sure you look good! I will give you prompts to keep you moving and laughing. I’m sorry but there are some angles, and poses that are not flattering for everyone. Like, please don’t take a photo of me from below! Hello double chin! What I’m saying is, I got you!

    Lacie was seriously the best! We could not have asked for anyone better to capture our special day. She did a great job on our engagement pictures and even better for our big day. We highly recommend her.

    Hi! I’m Connie! First of all congrats!🍾 ✨Thank you for visiting my profile and considering me as your photographer! I am so excited for your big day! Here are some things you might wanna know! I’m not typical photog- I don’t just arrive on your day, leave after few hours, and deliver few months later! I’m there for all the moments leading to the big day! You can hit me up any time- we can brainstorm all the ideas, timelines, all the tiniest details! I am a fan of Pinterest vision boards, sending each other tons of messages and be open about EVERYTHING! This is your day! Let’s make it all about YOU!

    Awarded Best of Zola
    Connie was amazing! We can't stop raving about her. She was so easy to work with. What started off as an elopement at the park turned into a micro wedding before we knew it. Connie made it so easy to work with us on our date and the last minute changes of shooting a micro wedding. She helped create a vision board for specific shots we wanted for the day of. I really don't like taking photos because I feel awkward, but Connie was able to give me direction on how to hold my bouquet and different angles. The best part, she was able to capture candid photos of our son throughout the ceremony. Her turnaround time along with the teasers came in a very timely manner and there was clear communication throughout the process of working with her. I would highly recommend Latek Photography and will use her again!

    More than a decade ago, two sisters - knew there had to be a better way to allow talented photographers and videographers to focus on what they do best -- create gorgeous art -- while providing couples with better support in the planning process. Together, they created an all-inclusive, stress-free environment where couples can choose from talented local photographers and videographers and work with a small team of planning experts equipped and eager to make everything a success. 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.

    We were blown away by the work that Pnce Like a Spark did. I was nervous having not met the videographer or photographer before the wedding, but I had nothing to be nervous about! Daniel and Jeremy were incredible, kind, funny, and helped us feel comfortable and relaxed. Their personalities were amazing and we just got our photos and they came out beautifully. Thank you for all the work and ease with everything!

    Hello there! I'm Andrea, owner of Amative Creative, and every weekend we're so blessed to be able to tell the love stories of so many amazing couples. Like many others in this industry might say, we simply adore weddings. But what makes us a little different is our entire brand is centered around telling love stories specifically curated to reflect your vision and aesthetic. "Amative" means to be prone to love, so as you can see, we want nothing more than to tell your love story! But what makes us truly unique is that we understand every love story looks different. And we personalize every aspect of how we document your wedding day!

    Andrea and her team have all been incredible to work with! I knew photography was one of my top "no skimp" areas and Andrea was able to capture everything we wanted! Many of our extended family were not able to attend our ceremony due to COVID, but were able to "experience" everything through the photos we shared. From engagement shoot, to bridal portraits, to actual wedding, to even an extra shoot after the wedding in the mountains--her talent and skill is beyond anyone else I have seen! Even my husband (who does not love to be photographed) feels comfortable during our sessions and agrees she is worth every penny and more! We love her and will definitely continue to work with her for years to come!

    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!

    Awarded Best of Zola
    Grace was just amazing. For a day that was overwhelming and very stressful, I cannot thank her enough for her calm and kindness. My now husband and I are usually not "photo people", as we tend to be more introverts than anything else, and she went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable. Her professionalism and guidance during the shoot can be described as more than stellar. I will definitely recommend her to all of my friends who will be getting married soon. During all the chaos, I was extremely thankful to have chosen her as our photographer.

Our editing and style depends. Very easygoing and flexible depending on the client's preference. Our team is dedicated in delivering memories.

    So where do I start?! Lead and his team are the most professional, passionate, skilled, and accommodating photographer/videographer. We couldn't have asked for a better photographer on the most important day of our lives. They took so much time to incorporate everything we could want in our wedding photos and they even took the time to edit some multiple amazing videos with the footage. They were patient and they made us feel comfortable and supported during the night and we had a blast as well. On top of all that, he knew how to capture well our love story. His team is amazing and they provided a high quality, welcoming, amazing photography experience. I'd recommend their work for any event you'd like to capture precious moment's in! They were worth more than every cent we spent! Again, thank you so so much Ledd and team. We will treasure these photos forever.

    Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

    Isaac and his team were incredible to work with. He came highly recommended from a friend of ours who got married a few years ago and we were really pleased to be introduced. After seeing his work, we were sure we wanted to work with him. The wedding was in San Francisco and it was a real pleasure to have Isaac there on our day, and the photos look amazing. There are so many fun and gorgeous moments captured, we are very thankful for the skilled photos. The lighting is phenomenal.

    Hey, I'm Mary! It's nice to meet you. Summing up who I am in an "about me" is always difficult. What you must know: (1) I'm a nerd. If you want to talk video games, LOTR or Doctor Who, we HAVE to sit down for a bourbon or a coffee. (2) Yes, I will be out on that dance floor with you snapping away while joining in on the fun. And (3), while I'm a photographer first, supporting you during the planning process feels crucial to me - from building a timeline to having your back any way I can.

    We recently had Sarah Nader as our wedding photographer, and it was an amazing experience from start to finish. Sarah's photos are nothing short of magical. She captures the genuine moments that tell the story of our day, and her artistic talent truly shines through. Sarah's warm and friendly personality made us feel comfortable throughout the process. She took the time to understand our vision and made the entire experience feel effortless. What sets Sarah apart is her ability to capture emotions. Her photos are a journey back to that special day, and we can feel the love and joy all over again. Sarah's communication was excellent, and she delivered our photos promptly. We highly recommend her for your special day. Thank you, Sarah, for preserving our memories so beautifully!

    Mahdi was voted our best vendor at our wedding! By us and by friends that got to know him. From our first phone call I was like, man this guy is cool and relaxed. I'm also pretty relaxed but obviously this can change on your wedding day, so having a laid back photographer was perfect for me. He arrived a bit early to set up and we chatted a bit and he went straight to work and my bridal party loved him right away. I would recommend Mahdi to anyone looking someone to perfectly capture their day or even just capture the moment. You will not find a nicer, more professional, or fun person to help you to remember the most important day of your life.

    This review is so overdue it makes me sick, but the reason I've put it off for so long is because I've struggled to come up with the words to fully capture how I feel about Mel and what she contributed to making our special day E V E R Y T H I N G I could have ever asked for. If you don't want to read my whole novel, here's all you need to know: Mel is incredible. As a human being, a woman, a friend, a professional, a photographer - all of it. She will take care of you. I would've paid 10x as much as we did for the memories Mel gave us -- both actual memories WITH Mel and the memories she captured in her photos. From the very beginning I knew I wanted Mel in my corner. I find it SO admirable and refreshing that she takes seriously whether she meshes with her prospective clients or not. She KNOWS that the photos are going to pop off that much more if the vibes between client & photographer are *chef's kiss* -- she's not just chasing anyone down for the money or the exposure. To me, this made Mel really stand out. Vibing with Mel also meant I felt comfortable (because she allowed me the space to) text her with questions/concerns or for advice during the planning and she ALWAYS made me feel better about whatever I was worrying about. Mel is a friend, a sidekick, a bada**, ready-for-anything, go-with-the-flow-but-also-command-the-flow hype woman professional. I'm not kidding when I say that a large portion of my core memories from wedding day are with Mel. And I don't mean because she was following me around with a camera all day, I mean because of the actual hilarious, heartwarming, lifesaving interactions with Mel that stick out to me more than conversations I had with our own wedding guests. Imagine spending all day with someone who isn't making you laugh, providing you relief from the stress, tending to you and just making you feel like an absolute prize all day!!?! Couldn't be me. Wouldn't be Mel. She's d*mn good company. We had a large wedding party which can be annoying for any vendor but especially a photographer. Mel never made us feel bad about that. She stated the facts, made clear what she needed and then made. it. happen. The groomsmen in our party were not great listeners and Mel dominated in getting everyone's attention back. My bridesmaids were basically crushing over how much of a boss she is. And because of how much of a boss she is, she kept ALL things on track, even things she wasn't originally responsible for. She is THE ultimate wedding expert and has an answer for everything. Not every photographer could do what she does, so thank god for Mel knowing her strengths and positioning herself to share the power of those strengths with all of us. Nothing could've prepared me for the emotions I would feel looking through the gallery Mel delivered. Utter shock and awe -- our photos were uniquely ours but still dazzled with that same Mel magic I fell in love with when I found her on IG. After our wedding, I looked back on our day and felt sad thinking about moments I missed or wish I could redo. Her photos completely took all of that away. It was all accounted for. You can trust her to have listened to your needs/wants, to have taken any unique or awkward circumstances into consideration and to have captured moments you'd probably be sad about missing (even the really small, less obviously-important ones). Book her. Book her for the max duration that you can. She's the best in the biz and nothing could convince me otherwise.

    Let me start off by saying I am pretty shy and am usually not the most photogenic gal out there. You can probably imagine how anxious I was going into our wedding planning - I was pretty worried about my awkwardness in front of a camera and the impact that would have on our wedding photos. But then I met LaDonna, and that all changed! She was so nice and professional in her approach and she really took the time to help me find my confidence in front of a camera. She was really patient and encouraging and was really great at giving me some direction early on at the beginning in teaching me how to look natural; by the time it came to our real sessions, I found I was hardly even thinking about my insecurities and instead found I was just living in the moment with my husband-to-be! I feel so much more comfortable and confident in myself after having worked with LaDonna - and I couldn’t be happier with the photos!!

    Jason was recommended to me by a family member, and to this day, I'm so grateful. Jason was so quick with communication. He responded and asked for details from the very beginning. He was easy to talk to. We ended up booking him for our engagement photos AND our wedding photos. Our engagement photo session was seamless. Jason was easy to work with and he made my (now) husband and I feel so comfortable. Photo sessions do NOT have to be awkward with Jason. He recommended the LA Arboretum and the Pasadena City Hall for our shoot and we couldn't have asked for any better location. Jason knew exactly where to go and what to do. When it came time for our wedding day, Jason and Mae (his second) were so nice. They did not rush us for any photoshoot. He had us take our time, take breathers, and helped us stress about one less thing during the day. We just got our photos back and they are downright GORGEOUS. I could not believe these were us. I am still amazed by it all. The turnover time was so quick as well. Again, communication was so easy with him. I HIGHLY recommend Jason as a photographer. We could not have asked for anyone better.

    2020 was a difficult year for many reasons, but weddings were especially tough to make happen in this calendar year. But what made it even more difficult was having to plan 2 different weddings. The first being a 10 month planned wedding in Joshua Tree, California, until we had to cancel it due to COVID in November a month before it was supposed to happen. My now husband and I scrambled to reset for a smaller ceremony in Illinois instead to allow at least his family to attend and have it at his sister's home in Huntley, IL. We only had one month to reset. One of the most important things for us was photography, and although we had spent most of our savings on the cancelled wedding and we had no hope in recovering most of that back or even soon enough to help with the 2nd wedding, we knew we had to put forth the money and make the right choice for a photographer to document our day as best as possible so that our love ones who couldn't make it could experience that day through the right lens. Justin Vaughn of JVaughn Photography LLC was the right lens and so much more! He worked very closely with us via online google meetings, with a minor setback, which was we couldn't have an in person engagement photo session with him (since we were based in Wyoming and wouldn't arrive in Illinois until closer to the ceremony). Justin prefers to complete an engagement photo session, which comes already included in a lot of his packages, before the wedding to get to know us as a couple and make sure we get the shots we prefer. However even without the engagement session, through our online meetings, we were able to discuss who we are and Justin had that personal touch as though we were talking to an old friend. We established the narrative and story telling that we hoped to have for the day. Justin took detailed notes and had a list of shots to take for the day. But his improvisation and artistic eye was also excellent and he captured moments that we had never thought of that were so beautiful and amazing. In addition to the photography he also did minor videography to provide us a highlight reel, which was beyond what we expected! Throughout the day he was also very much a ninja in capturing the right moments beautifully without obstructing the views of guests present. I would recommend him for any photography need, he truly is an artist that captures the moments you wanted and so much more!

Alena is incredibly talented, knowledgeable, and overall a great person, and friend. Her photos aren’t just any photos that you see. She puts time, and hardwork into her editing and it pays off. They’re moody, flirty, fun, intimate. She can do quite literally anything you ask for. No need to worry about being nervous about being in front of her camera, she knows how to pose you and talks to you the entire time. It feels like you’re hanging out with friends and it’s so so enjoyable!

Ryan began his wedding videography career in 2010 in Los Angeles and quickly became recognized as one of the top videographers in the U.S.. After relocating to DC and still receiving countless inquiries from all corners of the country, Ryan decided to recruit and train a few talented friends so he could continue offering the quality wedding videography he’s known for in SoCal and eventually over 10 cities. Shutter and Sound is a very small group of filmmakers dedicated to turning your big day into a work of art.

    I recently used Shutter & Sound for my wedding and they were fantastic! The team was super friendly and really skilled at capturing all the important moments without being intrusive. They worked seamlessly with our other vendors which made everything go smoothly. When we got our photos and videos back, we were blown away by the quality and how they managed to capture the feel of our special day perfectly. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for top-notch wedding photography and videography!

    When you elope in the middle of a pandemic, it matters all the more that you love your photographer--since they'll be the only other person at your wedding. :) And in short, we couldn't be happier that ours was Shawnee. She has such a gift and a love for the work she does—and it shows. We knew she was the right person from the moment we met on Zoom--she is warm and kind, asked all the right questions, and instantly put us at ease. My partner and I eloped at the end of October 2020 in DC, just before the election. It was a whirlwind moment for so many reasons, especially as a queer couple. And it mattered to us that the person who captured those treasured memories, really understood what that moment meant to us. Everyone who sees our photos marvels at how wonderful they are—and no doubt we look great, but Shawnee’s warmth and direction and stellar eye really made all the difference. Vibing with your photographer matters—we’re so grateful to have found one with such grace and as much love for her art as Shawnee. <3

Every couple, family, person is different, and I want to make sure your uniqueness comes through in the images of your special days. My style tends to lean into rich colors and textures. Are you a couple that doesn't want to have a typical wedding? I'm a photographer that doesn't want to give you typical images! I always tear up at hand written vows. I love my partner and my two dogs Moonshine and Chosen One, and my cat Bucket.

    Jillian at Youngbird Photo (j.guthrie_photo on Instagram) is such a true joy and delight to work with. Not only did she come to photograph our small May ceremony, but she photographed a first look photo session with us after we canceled the reception!! My dress was in covid lockup in May, so I wasn't able to wear it at the original ceremony. Jillian made sure that we had pictures of the dress, and captured a first look moment for us, and that will forever mean the world to me. She even came over to photograph the centerpieces that we had worked so hard on!! She makes people feel so comfortable and has such an amazing eye for what will make a beautiful shot. She is immensely talented and an absolutely delightful person. And bonus, she works with any budget. She truly believes that every couple deserves beautiful photos, and will work with you, whatever your situation is. Case in point, she's done our engagement photos, our small ceremony photos, and now our first look photos, and in every instance, she went above and beyond for us. I will recommend her forever, and still cannot completely put into words how much she and her photos mean to us!

I want this day to be as stress free as possible for you on my end -- so if I need to be a wedding coordinator, dress fluffer, hair fixer, dance partner, people wrangler, or whatever it may be on top of being your photographer, I GOTCU!

    I am a wedding film maker and I have had the pleasure of working with Tiffany on many occasions. She is very good at her job and is laid back, easy to work with and makes everyone feel comfortable on their wedding days. Sometimes Videographers and Photographers can clash on a wedding day, but Tiffany goes above and beyond to make sure we work together well. That's a big deal, because the last thing you want is two vendors fighting on the biggest day of your life. There are no second chances on a wedding day. I highly recommend Tiffany and when you decide to hire her, just know that you are in the best hands and you'll be so thankful you had her as your Photographer once your wedding day is over and you can relive those moments with breathtaking photos.

We are a brand for adventurers, for lovers of life, and genuine people who love those little moments between the moments in life and seek out truth over perfection. Your marriage is unique because of the relationships you have with the people you choose to celebrate with. Spending my day with you and your closest family and friends brings me such joy, and creating art out of some of the best moments of your life is something I am truly honored to be a part of for so many.

    Knowing how much of a financial investment a wedding photographer was going to be, I did not take my decision lightly. I reached out to several companies and had several questions when determining who would be the right fit. And I have to say, Marie was by far the most understanding and compassionate during that process. While many photographers seemed annoyed by the (many) questions I would ask before booking, Marie was patient and very thoughtful with her responses -- she even took time to arrange a phone call with me while traveling! And during that phone call, she made sure I didn't feel rushed and that she answered all questions I had fully, it truly felt like I was talking to a friend. That was when I made the decision to book with Marie. Beyond that, when booking the session for our Engagement photos, she brought several creative and adventurous ideas to the table and had the PERFECT locations to take us to. We had a blast together. I would recommend Marie to anyone looking for a photographer who is friendly, compassionate, accommodating and just a joy to be around.

    At the end of the day, all we have are the stories told about us and the ones we write about ourselves. I love writing about the musings of life and sharing my thoughts with others in conversation and social media posts. I constantly document my own life so I don't forget the big or little moments. Every time I travel to somewhere new I love connecting with those who cross my path, and yet I equally love coming home to my dog. TLDR: sentimental soul, avid movie goer, mental health advocate, and decent chocolate chip cookie maker.

    where do i even begin? we were so blessed to have Rachael with us on our special day. we hired Carissa for our wedding photography & chose to have her bring an extra shooter with & BOOM! we somehow got blessed with Rachael as our bonus. i could go on about everything from her amazing personality, the positivity & happiness absolutely exuding from her at all times, her killer taste in music, the sheer talent that is her photography skills (both behind the camera & assisting in posing with such ease), to the way she somehow makes it feel like an old friend is with you every step of your wedding day (even if it’s the first day you met her), wrapping you in her beautiful scarf to keep you warm between photos & the ceremony because you were shivering, & is even willing to join your friends and family on the dance floor amidst capturing the most amazing memories for you. never did i feel rushed, if anything she helped me keep my cool about my timeline & helped ease so much of my anxiety about it. okay, i know what you’re thinking, “amy this seems like an excessive rant for a wedding photographer.” BUT YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND!! our photography was one part of our wedding we were willing to splurge on, & if i hadn’t decided we absolutely needed a second photographer for the day then i would have never been absolutely blessed with Rachael. not only did she capture so many of our posed moments, but more importantly the candid moments that i was too busy spinning around like a maniac to notice & are now some of my favorite pictures. our photographers are one part of our day that i will FOREVER absolutely rave about to everyone & always recommend to future brides because i want them to be able to experience the same beautiful souls & genuinely perfect encounter i got that day. Rachael is the kind of person you want to reach out to when you’re thinking about future photoshoots, & who makes you want to do photoshoots just for an excuse to get to experience both her presence & her absolute talent again. if you were debating hiring Rachael, PLEASE don’t second guess it. you will NOT be disappointed.

    I believe your wedding day should look exactly how YOU want it. It should be as unique and fun as you are. If that means celebrating miles into the beautiful Ozark Mountains, floating by kayak or canoe on the most scenic riverways of Missouri or from the belly of the Earth in the most beautiful cave America has to offer, I would love to help you create the BEST Adventure of your lives. Whether you want to invite your closest family and friends or celebrate with the two of you. I believe love is love and it comes in many great and true forms. I'll be your Hype Girl, Map Reader, Chaos Coordinator, Photographer and Friend.

    On July 4th 2023 we married at Bridal Cave with Lindsey Webster Photography capturing every moment, we can't thank you enough Lindsey Webster for capturing the greatest day of our lives. Our pictures turned out beautifully and it's such a blessing to look back and see the joy and happiness we both had on that day. We plan on returning this July 4th to celebrate our 1st year anniversary, that day never would of been as special as it was if Lindsey Webster Photography didn't capture the moments we fell in love with. Thank you for the great job you did Lindsey Webster

    I'm a caretaker by nature. (Enneagram fan? I'm a 2w3) I love to laugh and am often told I have a calming presence. My friends tell me I have a huge heart and am a good listener. Except my husband says I am a horrible listener but I think that's just to him! I love cats, craft beer, burlesque and radical self care!

    Awarded Best of Zola
    We couldn't have been happier with Melissa, from engagement photos to wedding, and since then every annual family photo shoot, she is the best and we gets compliments on our photos year after year! Her fun and creative personality put you at ease and she even is patient with my crazy kids and dogs! I have had friends who use someone cheaper, but they only get a couple of photos or a very restrictive shooting time etc. We love that we don't have to worry about those things, and for the product and service we get the investment is more than fair! Hire Melissa, you'll be glad you did!

    Hi there! We’re Robert and Marisa Carter. Founders and owners of MSMP Media. A photo and Video Wedding company. With over 10+ years experience in the wedding industry we are as familiar as it get's with all things wedding 💜 We service all 50 states, capturing our couples genuine joy, love and happiness across the nation and we love every minute of it! Our goal is to leave you with photos and/or videos that will bring back the feeling & emotions in an entirely new way. Take a look at our gallery and don't be shy to connect, we love creating a fun filled experience and all are welcome!

    This team is just incredible. I came in late in the game, no idea what I was doing, just looking for someone to take a couple photos to prove my wedding happened. My budget made me nervous, as a lot of photographers charge a lot more than I could afford (which is totally fair, that’s on my budget, not their prices). MSMP met me with so much kindness, support, and flexibility, and the photos are better than I ever could have dreamed!! My wedding photos went from the biggest source of anxiety to an absolute treasure, I’m so eternally grateful!

    I am a Chicago-based wedding + elopement photographer. I am available worldwide and love to travel! I document genuine moments for couples, no matter who they love. My images are the perfect mix of posed and photojournalistic, giving you gorgeous portraits without missing the important, candid moments you will want to remember for years to come. My approach to wedding days is simple: I want to make sure you have images of you two that you love and cherish and tell your wedding day story.

    Tawny did both our wedding photos and our engagement shoot, and we were so happy with both results! She got just the vibe we were looking for and had a great mix of posed and candid shots. Turnaround was quick and all of our guests said our photos were incredible, as well.

    We're Jay and Larissa, partners, parents, and documentary wedding photographers based in Chicago and capturing weddings around the world. We've photographed love stories from Mexico to the Rocky Mountains and beyond. We've also been ranked among the world's best wedding photographers, but what matters most to us is what our couples think. Our goal is to blow your mind with photos that make your mother-in-law cry and your best friends say "holy shit!" 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!!!!!

    We are a husband/wife team who specializes in couples and weddings. After living in Michigan and capturing weddings there the last 7 years, we are excited to be back home in the Ozarks and look forward to meeting and serving couples in this area.

    Clarissa and Tim were so on top of everything for us that we didn't have to worry about anything, they knew exactly what to do! They were very flexible with how the day went but still made sure to get all the key moments from different angles while being discreet. On top of being great photographers they are very sweet, respectful of boundaries for those they are photographing, and worked well with all the age groups at our wedding. All of our photos by them have been well complimented!

    I have a journalistic approach to wedding days but I'm also there to help pose you, make you comfortable and guide you along! My end goal as your wedding photographer is, and will always be, giving you images of your special day in a quirky, honest, and emotional way. I love to catch the small moments that go by too quickly between all of the BIG moments that your heart will never forget!

    Where do I even start to describe Misty Nolan and our experience with her as our wedding photographer! My partner and I met and instantly connected with her. She was funny, kind, and so incredibly passionate about photography. She answered all our questions and put us at ease about everything. She made us feel comfortable and like we were friends. She was in regular contact with us throughout the wedding planning process and always voiced how excited she was for us and our big day. On our actual wedding day she went completely above and beyond to be there for us making adjustments last minute without hesitation to ease our schedule. She made us and both our wedding parties laugh many times over. My partner and I really wanted someone to capture who we were in a natural and candid way and Misty did just that! We are absolutely in love with our wedding photos. She captured our day in a whimsical and romantic fashion. Everything was green and lush and our photos are filled with joy. I don't know how she it but on our big day she was everywhere at once! My now wife and I say all the time booking Misty Nolan for our wedding was our best and easiest wedding decision.

    We are Kristi & Nathan, we’re married, we love love, and we’re here to tell stories authentically. Based in the Midwest, we never charge for travel because we believe you should be able to hire the photographers you love without worrying about extra fees. We love to create space for you to be yourselves, honest and unhinged, not posed, not fake. We want to capture you as you are in this moment in your lives, because love is magical. With freedom to be yourselves, emotion and beauty come through.

    Our journey to finding our wedding photographer did not start well. Our wedding was in Montana and we reached out to a local photographer who seemed great at first. Then as soon as she found out it was a gay wedding, she backed out. Needless to say we were devastated that the very first person we reached out to was cruel enough to stoop that low. However, we will forever be grateful she did, because that brought us to Kristin and Nathan! We stumbled across Made to be Mine by pure luck while scrolling through Instagram one day. Right from the start they blew us away with their dreamy, jaw-dropping, moody AF photography style. Mix that with their kindness & compassion and we knew we found the perfect fit for us! We ended up needing to reschedule our wedding due to Covid and they made that stressful situation so much better by being super supportive and understanding. Moving our wedding date actually ended up working out in our favor because it gave us time to meet them for an engagement shoot! We already knew Kristi and Nathan were talented, but we left the engagement shoot in aww. My wife and I are usually so awkward in photos, but Kristi and Nathan made us look like naturals! They go out of their way to make you feel comfortable and relaxed. It honestly felt like we were just hangin with friends who just happen to be taking stunning photos of us at the same time. Flash to the wedding and let me tell you, they did not disappoint!! Everything from us, family, friends and the beautiful venue was captured absolutely perfectly. (Pro tip, have them do the drone video for you. You’ll thank me later.) When we were sent our official wedding photos, it wasn’t just an online link. Oh no, Made to be Mine of course goes the extra mile and sent us a literal wedding photo experience! We received actual prints of a few of their favs, zip drives of the beautifully edited video, the photos as well as extra little video clips from the day. All in a cute custom box with other fun little goodies in it. We seriously can’t recommend these guys enough. We truly feel like we’ve gained life long friends throughout this process and we’re beyond grateful for the amazing photos we get to look at on our wall everyday.
