Chloe Yacapraro Photography is a Missouri-based photographer for couples who love the little details and want all of the unscripted memories documented in the most beautiful way. She serves the St. Louis area and beyond, and is always up for traveling for a destination wedding or engagement session!

Here’s why you should consider hiring Chloe Yacapraro Photography for your wedding:

1. Experience in the industry

Chloe has been photographing weddings for 4 years, shooting her very first wedding in 2021. She has photographed around 140 weddings total, including second-shooting. Every single one has taught something new and shaped the photographer she is today. Learning new things from other photographers has been a huge benefit to her business as well.

She intentionally takes 15–20 weddings per year. This gives her the perfect balance to stay fully invested in every couple and deliver galleries faster than most photographers—without ever rushing the experience or the art.

2. Her unique approach

What makes Chloe stand out from the crowd is the way she photographs your wedding like she’s documenting a story she’s personally connected to. She’s not just there to pose you or check off a shot list—She’s there to capture the real, emotional, in-between moments that naturally unfold throughout the day. Couples always tell her that she feels more like a friend than a vendor, that she makes them instantly comfortable, and that even people who “hate taking photos” end up having fun with her.

She guides you every step of the way with timeline support, planning help, checklists, and calm direction so the entire experience stays stress-free. On the wedding day, she blends in with your people, hypes you up when you need energy, slows things down when it feels overwhelming, and captures everything from the big emotional moments to the tiny details you didn’t even notice. Her couples often tell her their photos feel natural, emotional, and timeless—and that working with her was one of the easiest parts of planning their wedding. Her goal is to create a meaningful, effortless experience while giving you photos that truly tell your story.

3. The style of her work

Her style is warm, real, and emotional. She focuses on capturing genuine connection, authentic reactions, and the moments that actually matter. Couples often say they feel completely at ease with her—like they’re hanging out with a friend who just so happens to have a camera. She guides you when needed, brings lots of laughter and calm energy, and makes the entire process feel natural and fun.

Her photography style is authentic, emotive, and detail-driven, focused on capturing real connection and unscripted moments rather than stiff, posed shots. She strives to photograph weddings in a way that feels natural, organic, and heartfelt, highlighting the laughter, tears, quiet glances, and tiny details that make each wedding unique. Her editing enhances natural light and colors while keeping images timeless and true to life, creating photos that feel warm, real, and full of emotion. She prioritizes creating a comfortable, relaxed, and joyful atmosphere so couples look confident and at ease, allowing every photo to tell the story of the day exactly as it felt. The result is a collection of images that not only shows what happened but also brings couples back to the feeling of their special day.

4. She values storytelling

When she documents a wedding, she’s focused on telling the story exactly as it felt—not just how it looked. I value the real, honest, in-between moments just as much as the big ones: the nervous excitement before the first look, the inside jokes, the hand squeezes, the emotional reactions, and the tiny details that make your day yours. She shows up not just as a photographer, but as a friend who brings warmth, comfort, and a whole lot of laughter. To her, storytelling is about preserving emotion—joy, connection, softness, and real love—so when you look back at your gallery, you can truly relive your day.

5. The way she handles the timeline

She builds a custom timeline for each couple to make sure everything flows smoothly and stress-free. She adds buffer time throughout the day so you never feel rushed—and if you end up ahead of schedule, she makes sure you can take a break, grab a snack, breathe, or spend extra time with loved ones. After almost five years of photographing weddings, she’s learned how to adapt quickly, stay calm, and keep everything running effortlessly behind the scenes. She also has a wedding guide and wedding checklist so couples walk into wedding planning knowing all the things!
