Wanna be lovely? You already are! Be Lovely Photography specializes in the modern photographic experience, from engagement, to wedding, to the babies that may follow. We push ourselves creatively and enjoy working with couples that favor fresh, exciting, and bold photography. Yes, we do traditional family poses too (we know what the parents like!). From civil ceremonies (which we believe should be the same as weddings) to full mass Catholic weddings, we love meeting with and working with couples that appreciate our vision and allow us to "do what we do." Of course, your big day is a collaboration of sorts, a coming together of two worlds, a party for the masses. So we meet beforehand and make sure we are all on the same page for the event. We don't want our couples to arrive at their venue with an ounce of worry that every detailed won't be documented. We shoot thousands of images throughout the day, from make-up to gettin' down, we will be there, cameras in tow!

Be Lovely Photography is a small, independently-owned, woman-run business located in beautiful South Side St. Louis. We appreciate those that seek out companies that support the indies, especially those in the city. That being said, we love to travel! Be Lovely always employs an assistant that is capable of second shooting when needed.

JJ Lane is the owner and primare shooter, with over 9 years of photography experience and a degree from Webster University. She has worked with the Missouri Botanical Gardens, St. Louis Magazine At Home, and several other commercial, special event, and fine art photographers in the area. With a background involving detail photography and portraiture, Be Lovely emphasizes the importance of a beautiful, well-rounded wedding day. Each part of your wedding day contains bits and pieces of the larger story. We try and emphasize to each couple to spend plenty of time on each story, so the memory of that day will be beautifully documented forever.
