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.

Tiffany and Chris's story began in 2014 at the Saint Louis Zoo. 17 months later we tied the knot. We especially love impacting the lives of the people around us by capturing their most cherished memories with the people they love most so that later in life they can open their storybook to share with their beloved grandchildren and feel all of those emotions from that day come rushing back again.

Lewis And Oak

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.

  • 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!

    • 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.

    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!

She arrived early to ensure she was at the right place and on time and worked well with the variety of family and friends we had.

    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.

    Everything was absolutely perfect! Communication before the wedding was wonderful and my photographer and videographer went above and beyond to make the day even more special than it was. I have already recommended Once Like a Spark to my engaged friends and even those who aren't yet! I HIGHLY recommend their services. Thank you so much Once Like a Spark. I will remember this day forever and it will go down in history as the best day ever, with much help from you!

    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!

    Awarded Best of Zola
    Andrea and team have been nothing short of phenomenal. Not only did Andrea take the time to talk through the entire process from start to finish and answer all of our questions, but she remained in constant contact before, during and after our wedding. She always answered our texts and calls, no matter what time of day or night! She and her team made us feel very comfortable during our engagement and wedding photos, and she respected our comfort level. The photos the Amative Creative team delivered are straight out of a wedding catalogue--her product matched our vision exactly. She provided 2,000 photos within six months and the wait was totally worth it. Not only did Andrea take our engagement and wedding photos, but she connected us with a photographer while we were on our honeymoon in Paris to take additional photos that Andrea then edited and delivered within two days. Working with her has felt like a dream! Andrea and team love their clients like their own family, and we would recommend Amative Creative again and again.

    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 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.

    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.

    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.

    Awarded Best of Zola
    From the engagement shoot to the wedding day, our experience with Mary was simply amazing. Photography can be so intrusive and daunting, especially on your wedding day. Not with Mary. Everything was discussed prior to the day and she knew exactly what we wanted. We were able to enjoy our day without even noticing Mary capturing every moment. When looking at our wedding pictures, I am able to relive and feel that day. It is bittersweet that my husband passed six months after we wed, but I am grateful and thankful for Mary. She captured my husband's smiles (big and small), the loving way he looked at me and his overall happiness that day, which is just priceless. I highly recommend this highly talented and professional photographer.

    Bonie Weddings is a wedding photography and videography company, dedicated to capturing those unscripted and genuine moments. From candid laughs and unplanned dance moves to even the cake mishaps (yes, it happens), We're there to preserve the authenticity and genuinely of your special day. Our team of professionals firmly believes that every couple should have the opportunity to capture the memories of their special day without breaking the bank.

    Bonie Wedding was great to work with. From the start process, the communication was easy. Hannah was our lead photographer with Emily and Lactoya were our videographers, who were both great teams. I highly recommend using Bonie weddings for both photo and video, as the two teams worked together without any trouble. During the reception, we barely noticed their presence, yet every time we looked up they were there recording everything. It was so nice to know that your special day was captured from start to finish, without feeling overwhelming. We appreciated Hannah and Emily's directions for all the photos. The production team was great as well. Very responsive and easy to communicate. They make the entire process clear and concise, which is appreciated when the wedding planning process and day off can feel overwhelming. Our wedding was not even 2 weeks ago and we already received our video trailer, as well as some sneak peek pictures from Hannah via Dropbox. Hannah also did our engagement shoot and it was fun and easy. We loved how our pictures came out and are so eager to see the rest. Thank you Bonie!

    Awarded Best of Zola
    We first worked with Chelcie for our engagement photo session in downtown Detroit. Most photographers I contacted had a very limited timeline for engagement sessions. We were blown away at the amount of time and care that Chelcie put into our engagement session. She also had an incredible eye for location spots to get the best photos. We had a few spots planned out, but she would end up seeing spots on the way that turned into absolutely incredible photos. My husband and I are also the type who are not totally sure how to pose or what to do for professional photos. Chelcie made us feel beyond comfortable and made those things SO easy for us. We just had to work with her for our wedding! And we are so glad we did. Her team was beyond amazing. We had Chelcie, her second photographer, and her assistant which meant they were able to capture every moment and truly helped our day to flow well. Once again, Chelcie was able to spot the best photo locations on the day of and make our first look the most special moment of our entire lives. Chelcie also worked seamlessly with my other vendors. She really cares about capturing her clients' visions and delivering really beautiful photos. We absolutely love our photos as they really capture our big day and are unique, not the typical "posey" photos. I cannot recommend her enough!!!

    If you’re looking for a professional, personable, talented wedding photographer, look no further than Sarah Nader! We worked with Sarah for both our engagement shoot and our wedding day, and we could not be more pleased. We will cherish these photos for the rest of our lives! Sarah delivered on everything we asked for, and more. She was both patient and helped us stay on track with our bridal and family photos on our wedding day. She made us feel so comfortable and documented our day beautifully. Sarah hustles to get the shot and offers some direction while allowing lovely, natural moments to unfold organically. She suggested we do a night champagne shot and we’re so glad we did! We enthusiastically recommend Sarah Nader for your wedding photography needs!

    If you’re looking for someone to make you feel your absolute best, super comfortable, and give some direction - you’re in the right place. Nicole and I would not have been happier with the choice to book Steve for our engagement/wedding photos and video. We were nervous and uncomfortable with posing and stressing out about how we would look in our photos, but he did his absolute best to make it super fun and stress free. We look at these photos and are still in shock at how beautiful we felt and how much fun we had. He communicated with us every step of the way and took the time to understand and execute our vision. We wanted a couples handshake stop motion … seems a little out there, right? Well … he made it happen and I’m still crying over it today. We had a few photos to swoon over as soon as a few hours later(to hold us over), and the rest came super quickly as well. I could go on and on, but I think you get the point. There is only one answer here - book Steve for your photo & video needs if you’re looking for the best experience out there

He has an incredible eye and a knack for taking amazing candids of even the most camera-shy person. But the real reason we are obsessed with Mahdi, and will be going to him for all our future photography needs, is how wonderful he is to work with. His professional, easy-going nature is so calming through the stress of wedding planning. He is hard-working, very reassuring, easy to talk to, flexible, and dedicated to his clients. Also, we received all of our photos shortly after our wedding which was a nice touch! We are so glad we went with him and we can’t recommend Mahdi 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!

    Awarded Best of Zola
    I don't even know where to begin with writing this. Melissa is phenomenal. Full stop. The first time we met her we knew we wanted her to capture our wedding photos. She was so friendly, approachable, and professional. We wanted our photos to capture our personalities, and we knew Melissa could do that. We also knew we could trust her fully to take great photos so that we could relax and enjoy our day. On our wedding day, she made the whole process so seamless, and we really were able to relax and enjoy the day. It was the best. The photos Melissa captured from our wedding day are something we will treasure forever. When the first few showed up online the day after our wedding, our whole family gasped, and there were quite a few tears. The photos are literally perfect. Absolutely better than anything I could have imagined or wanted, and each one feels so unique. When we look at them, it's like we are right back at OUR wedding day, not just any wedding day. There are two more things I have to mention here. 1) Our engagement session was amazing. Melissa spent the day with us up in Madison (where we live) and absolutely captured us and our favorite places in such a heartfelt way. She also made that day so FUN. I was certainly nervous about being photographed so much, but after awhile, it felt like it was just Simon and I there, having fun, together. The photos are a true reflection of that. 2) We had to reschedule our original wedding due to the pandemic. Melissa was super understanding and made our new date work for us. Overall, Melissa is an artist. She is someone I would trust completely again and again to capture the most important moments in my life and the lives of those I love. Thank you!!

    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!

    Hi, I'm Samuel! Chicago based wedding and elopement photographer here to give couples a truly relaxed and down to earth experience. Being photographed shouldn't be uncomfortable or boring!  Telling love stories through photos brings me immense joy. 

    We were so grateful to Samuel who was able to document our city hall ceremony on a very last minute request during the end of year holidays. (Are you free next weekend?) We were drawn to the documentary style of his work and thought it was a fitting way to remember a special moment in a basement of Chicago's City Hall. Leading up to the day, we texted and chatted about places to do portraits after and Samuel was very patient and helpful in suggesting places that felt right for me and my partner. Not only did he have the inside scoop on what the city hall ceremony was going to be like and what was going to happen, but he was also great to hang out with in line and and get to know better. We both felt very comfortable working with Samuel and the nerves of working with a professional photographer for the first time went out the window. I can only imagine how amazing the experience would be to work with Samuel with more time to prepare or at locations a little less drab than a city hall basement!

I must include a prime example of how in-tune these two are: I have a scar on my right arm that I am self conscious about and truthfully, it would have been a challenge for anyone to get around. However, our photos limited the number of times my scar was visible, if even at all. A truly unique touch that means so much. We will 100% be booking them to photograph all future events in our lives. I can't say enough about how incredible these two are. Worth every penny and then some!!!

We were also matched to two photographers who captured the rich moody tone we were looking for. Unfortunately one of the photographers was late to the wedding and missed our ceremony, and although the lead photographer did an excellent job capturing what he could by himself, this mishap resulted in a crushing lack of photos of my dad walking me down the aisle. Picture This Wedding did reach out with a sincere apology, and offered us some additional services at no cost, which we appreciated.

I decided to have Alena come out to our property In the fall of 2020 for a family photo session as well as sneak a few engagement photos in. Oh my did we hit it off with her right away! She has the most beautiful soul and she’s so outgoing and her laughter is contagious. Anyways, beyond all these amazing qualities her talent is beyond perfection. Our family session was incredible and I’ve never loved a session more. We booked her for our big wedding day as well as she did a Boudoir session with me to surprise my soon to be hubby. Her photos are elegant, moody, fun, breath taking and so much more. The comfort she brings during your session is something I’ve never had. She’s able to pose you just right, boost your confidence when you’re feeling low, and she talks you through her ideas and she’s a perfectionist when it comes to her editing. We are beyond thrilled and we plan to continue having her for many future celebrations. Alena has become like family to us and we wouldn’t have it any other way.

    Hi! Courtney here (that's me on the left!). Shutter and Sound is the brainchild of renowned wedding videographer Ryan Geldermann. 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.

    My husband and I loved working with Shutter and Sound for our wedding!! They went above and beyond when capturing our venue and all the special moments throughout our wedding day. The videographers were very personable and easy to work with, and were confident in their vision. All of the deliverables came even sooner than we were expecting which was a nice surprise, and I've watched our videos sooo many times since we got them back. Truly a great experience! I'd recommend Shutter and Sound to anyone looking for quality footage that really tells a story. :)

    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.

    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.

She was highly professional and so easy to work with and part of that reason was there was always open communications going back and forth. She answered every question ahead of time and made what could be very stressful events of a wedding, stress free which meant the most to us!!! There was so much else going on and things to worry about, but the photography was never one of those things. We could not be any happier with the choice we made in having Kelli be apart of our day.

    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.

    Lindsey is such an easy going fun person to be around. She is a great vendor to work with and has the experience to back it up. She loves her job and will undoubtedly make your photos something to love for generations. You would be hard pressed to find someone who more all in on your wedding day.

    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!

    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!

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!

    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!!!!!

    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 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.
