Masterworks Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $1,595
  • Serves Pekin, IN

Hi! We are Rob and Michelle, we are a couple in love! And our favorite thing to do is photograph other couples in love! We met in college and started dating very soon after, what started as a friendship turned into true love. Photography is our life and passion. We love photography in all of it's variety. When we are not photographing clients we love searching out unique spots for fine art photographs. Rob loves creating images of old churches, barns and landscapes and I love the little microscopic world that lives in the wildflower fields.

Working with Masterworks Photography for our wedding was an absolute blast! From the moment we met Rob and Michelle, their professionalism, attention to detail, and calm presence made us feel completely at ease. They were an amazing team and great at communication, and the quality of their work was truly outstanding and very professional. Rob and Michelle were so helpful beyond the scope of their work - they assisted with planning before and during the wedding, and helped us feel at ease when we were overwhelmed with other details. They were able to capture the essence of our day in such a beautiful and authentic way, and every photo tells a story. We can't stop looking through them! Masterworks Photography truly went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and had an incredible wedding day.

Bethany Stacy Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $1,200
  • Serves Pekin, IN

I'm a wedding, lifestyle, and portrait photographer servicing Louisville and Lexington, KY. I love love and I love capturing it more than anything. (Except for dogs. There's nothing on the planet I love more than dogs!) When I'm not behind the camera, you can find me curled up somewhere watching Parks and Recreation (again), or on a plane for a spontaneous trip. Traveling keeps my heart happy, so if you're looking for a photographer who is willing to travel for elopements, weddings, or engagements, I am your girl!

I can't say enough good things! We're not a couple who takes a ton of photos of ourselves, but she was able to help us get comfortable in front of the camera for both our engagement photos and wedding photos. She captured every important moment at our wedding including some incredible candids. I would highly recommend Bethany Stacy Photography (and have already told everyone I know who is engaged) because she not only is a great photographer but she is such a people person it's hard not to have a good time!

I give you space to be yourselves and document those in-between moments and let your personality as a couple shine through. Let's capture your story.

Awarded Best of Zola
We can't say enough good things about Adam and Shutter Photo & Film! He exceeded all our expectations. His demeanor and great sense of humor immediately put us at ease. We expected our engagement session to be about 30 minutes, but Adam was still going after an hour to get just the right lighting as the sun went down. When we received our engagement photos, we knew we had made the right choice for our wedding photographer. Adam and his assistant, Emily came to the wedding rehearsal to scout out the church and to talk to the priest about camera placement, etc. The day of our wedding Adam and Emily were on time and ready to get started. We had all our group photos taken before the wedding, and Adam had asked us prior to the wedding to make a list of the groupings we wanted. This made things go much faster and smoother. During the ceremony, we can't even remember seeing Adam or Emily. They managed to perfectly capture the joy and love we were feeling that day in photos. When we look through the photos, we are blown away by the candidness of many shots, and can't remember seeing Adam or Emily. It was like they just faded into the background. This was true of the reception as well. We could not have been happier with Shutter Photo & Film. They truly were a major contributor in making our wedding day the BEST DAY EVER!!!

You may not remember what you ate, the table cloths, the centerpieces, or the music played. You may not get to see every guest or the little moments between relatives. You may watch your wedding video once or twice throughout the years. What you will do is use, share and print your photos. My job is to retain the memory, and capture all those little moments you'll be too busy to see yourself, while documenting your special day. Giving you priceless moments and art you'll cherish for the rest of your life. I offer Photography (Some Video) services for any of your needs. I work with budgets.

We are so happy with Alan White Photograph! I can’t say enough about how professional AJ is and the quality of work that he provides. He took our engagement announcements and engagement party photos in Indiana, as well as our elopement in Colorado. He is very professional, creative, and personable. We will treasure our photos for years to come and will continue to use AJ in the future!!

Kendra Kiser Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $5,500
  • Serves Pekin, IN

Photography has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. At the age of seven I stole my mom’s camera and I never gave it back — sorry mom. Growing up, I forced my younger siblings to model for me. When I was 15, I second-shot my first wedding and immediately fell in love with preserving the unforgettable chaos, emotional depth, and vulnerability of relationships present on a wedding day. As of 2025, I have photographed over 250 weddings.

Kendra Kiser Photography was the perfect choice for capturing our wedding day. From the start, Kendra's communication style was thorough, eloquent, and highly professional. Her work was immersive without ever feeling intrusive, and she was incredibly inclusive of our different cultural backgrounds. Kendra was very eager to learn about Hindu culture to ensure she captured all the meaningful and special moments. She also expertly guided the large family photo sessions, making the process smooth and streamlined. Kendra's calm and kind presence was exactly what we needed on our high-stress wedding day. We couldn't be happier to have chosen Kendra and are thrilled with the beautiful way she documented our special events.

It all started when… We met. 12 years ago. We were 16. I was an artist. Cody was a rebel. A million things have changed since then, Ups and downs, loops, twists, and turns. We are different people now and I would rather tell you about who we are… We started our family young and had a gorgeous little girl. Since then we have gained a small zoo of 7 pets.

I loved Jenna and her husband were wonderful!! They made taking the pictures so easy, they stuck with us when we climbed down a mountain in the dark, and they were the most easy laid back people to work with! If I had questions, she would answer in a timely manner as well! I really appreciate everything that she did and our engagement and preview photos are everything that I would want and more! I would hire her again and again.

In the Shade Photography

Providing happy & sappy couples with vibrant & romantic photographs! We're married high school sweethearts, just celebrated out 13th anniversary, and through out the years of our own relationship, we have learned how important it is to have photos of us to look back on. Photos that show the true us - the laughing, the yearning, the joy and comfort we feel in each others arms. We started photographing ourselves on a point and shoot camera in high school. Fast forward to today, we've upgraded our gear and get to shoot other sappily in love couples (and still make sure to get photos of ourselves along the way)

We were pointed towards In The Shade by some mutual friends. Lily and Justin knocked our October 2024 wedding out of the park! Communication was timely, done over some Zoom calls which allowed us to look at each other and really talk things through. Expectations were set, a plan was executed, and we felt very very satisfied. They were very creative in the ideas they had and super helpful in creating something that fit our vision for the day. Would definitely use them again. Thanks guys!
