“K.M. Goodson Photography was wonderful to work with for our wedding. The photographer, was very open with communication and listened to exactly what we wanted for our photos. Even though we had a small, intimate wedding, she went above and beyond to capture all the special moments. Katie made us feel comfortable and relaxed, never awkward, when we stopped to get pictures taken throughout the day. The quality of her work was amazing, and we're thrilled with how the photos turned out. We couldn't have asked for a better photographer to help make our wedding day so special.”

I'm a film & digital photographer based in the Midwest but traveling internationally to capture heartfelt moments and authentic love stories with a cinematic and nostalgic feel. I started out with travel photography but my passion for portraiture and timeless romance led me to specialize in creative, artful weddings, destination weddings, and intimate couples shoots for intentional couples who want something beyond the traditional, cookie cutter photo vibe.

“Stacey was a dream to work with! She was quick to respond from the minute we submitted an inquiry to weeks after our elopement. She also scheduled an initial zoom meeting before even signing anything which was very personable and helpful to meet the person you might want to hire! For the day of, we had an intimate elopement with only 3 friends. Stacey made us feel so comfortable and like she had known us for years even though we had just met in person that day! Stacey gave us directions on what to do for the pictures, but not strict posing which made the pictures seem so much more natural, candid, and real. She is a gem of a human and so friendly. After the elopement, Stacey provided us with sneak peeks almost immediately. And when we were delivered the final pictures, we were blown away. Every single picture was PERFECT. We also requested some photos on film, and every single one of those were perfect as well. Could not be happier with choosing Stacey to photograph our day that we’ll remember forever.”

“If you're looking for a photographer for engagement pictures, a wedding photographer, or a photographer for any other occasion - stop looking! My fiance and I were visiting friends in AZ shortly after our engagement and we booked Maggie for an engagement shoot at sunset while we were there. To say that we are are OBSESSED with our pictures is an understatement. Maggie was so knowledgeable about the lighting at that time of day and utilized the whole landscape to get great pictures with different backgrounds, not JUST different poses from us. We didn't stay in the same spot during the session as she continued to create new angles to adjust to as the sun continued to set. I felt comfortable asking "hey can we try this!?" and Maggie was more than willing to get excited with us about capturing the kind of picture we had in our mind. Maggie also gave us alot of direction on how to maybe tilt our head, or move a hand over a little bit, or recognized that the shot wasn't going to be great so she just scratched it and moved to the next idea. This was extra helpful to me because I didn't have to "guess how to model" and I appreciated that she made good use of her and our time. Maggie works quickly to get a variety of poses and landscapes, is willing to travel, and seems to genuinely love what she does. Her excitement and direction made it fun and exciting for us too! 10/10 for our experience with Maggie!”

Hello. I’m Michayla Slone, a wedding + lifestyle photographer based in St. Louis, MO. I love traveling, my husband, my pup Rosie, and good conversations over coffee. I believe love is the most important thing. It’s what fuels us to our future, keeps us going on the bad days, and travels with us throughout time. My greatest joy is capturing days where love is at the forefront; where two people commit to a life full of passion and adventure. My work is more than just photography. It’s capturing history - your history.

“We hired Michayla as our wedding photographer and still can’t fully express how happy we are with her and her work for both our engagement shoot and wedding photography! We are NOT the most natural people to photograph but Michayla helped us feel so natural and at ease both during our engagement shoot and on our wedding day. When doing family pictures she was so on top of it and made it such an efficient process which only made the day better as nobody was grumpy about standing around taking photos forever. We loved how she captured the “in between moments”, they are truly the ones we will cherish the most because we get to remember those fun little details of the day. We also had a second photographer as part of our package who happened to be Michayla’s husband Logan and he was just as easy to work with and only made the experience better! If your wedding is coming up and you need a photographer inquire with Michayla, she is incredible!”

“I cannot express how thankful I am to have booked Kara for my wedding day! Kara not only produces absolutely stunning photos but she also helped us plan out the whole day by creating a timeline and made me feel so stress-free throughout the whole process. We decided not to get a wedding coordinator and I do not regret that decision because Kara was so helpful with coordinating and making recommendations. On the day of the wedding, Kara stuck to the schedule ensured that we did not get behind. I was worried that photos would take a long time in the June heat and that it would be a stressful part of the day for me, but with Kara it was fast and painless! I have since been in another wedding where the photographer was not organized and did not take charge to direct people in photos and it was a complete mess. As a result, the wedding party was over an hour late to the reception...I cannot recommend Kara enough! Her husband, Daniel, is a second photographer for the day and took photos of the groomsmen while Kara was with the bridesmaids before the first look. Kara and Daniel were both so great to work with. Choosing a photographer is such an important part of your wedding day and I promise that you will regret working with Kara!”

Katie Forbis | St. Louis-based, available anywhere | In my 18+ years of experience, I have found that the absolute best photos happen when couples are fully present in the moment - enjoying each other, their guests, and themselves. For this reason, I take mostly hands-off approach on wedding days. I do my best not to interfere with the events of the day, or direct the events of the day - instead, I document them as they unfold.

“Katie and Mike photographed our wedding last summer, and did the most phenomenal job. Communication with them was super clear and seamless from the get-go. Katie was available and so professional and easy. They were super chill and easygoing during the rehearsal dinner and day of the wedding. It felt like we could ask them for whatever we needed - they were willing to do whatever they could to make the perfect day happen for us. They took the ideas we had -- for first look, or golden hour photos -- and added their aesthetic sense in a way that made us feel like our photos were out of a movie.They captured our vibe unbelievably well; the pictures were absolutely gorgeous and exceptionally intimate. Even the Instagram post Katie shared of our wedding with sneak peaks was to songs that mean a lot to us, and she didn't even know! We didn't get a videographer, and have no regrets about that because the pictures speak for themselves. Every single picture has a point of view and tells a story. Vein and Vessel could not have captured our story more accurately. We are forever grateful to Katie and Mike.”
