My name is Halle DeRagisch, and I’m so glad you’re here. I’m a 24-year-old photographer based between St. Louis and Peoria. I graduated from Southern Illinois University Edwardsville with a BFA in Photography, where I was able to deepen both my creative and technical approach to the craft. I first picked up a camera seven years ago and quickly fell in love with photography. What started as a class has grown into a business that I’m incredibly grateful for. Alongside photography, I also work full-time as a social media manager, which has given me a strong eye for storytelling, composition, and creating meaningful visual content. My education and experience allow me to support my clients in ways that go far beyond simply taking photos. My goal is always to make you feel comfortable and confident throughout the entire process—from the first conversation to the final gallery—so your photos feel natural, genuine, and truly reflective of you. https://www.photographybyhalle.com/pricing daily 0.75 2026-03-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f16386ae17c6e47843f92db/2e282f58-fc34-4b41-a369-1b297b33ad79/vanessen-824.jpg Investment - Weddings $3500 - 8 hours of coverage - 30 minute engagement session - Second Shooter - Online Gallery **Weddings one hour outside of Peoria or Edwardsville IL have a travel fee https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f16386ae17c6e47843f92db/2edcf5a2-a065-427a-89d0-5d216422a056/1N8A2329.jpg Investment - Couples/Engagement $350 - 1 hour - 1 location -Online Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f16386ae17c6e47843f92db/2b133fa0-4d97-47ea-afb0-153f414066a3/1N8A5213.jpg Investment - Family $350 - 1 hour - 1 location - Online Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f16386ae17c6e47843f92db/29ac8d82-30ee-4593-8ec9-08906fbb6fa8/ava-108.jpg Investment - Seniors pckg A: $500 4 outfits 2 locations Hour and a half pckg B: $375 3 outfits 2 locations 1 hour pckg C: $300 2 outfits 1 location 45 minutes https://www.photographybyhalle.com/contact-me daily 0.75 2025-06-28 https://www.photographybyhalle.com/weddings daily 0.75 2025-06-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f16386ae17c6e47843f92db/935d01ea-5868-4f0e-a0d3-d01bf425a218/4Q3A3694.jpg Weddings St. Louis MO Wedding photographer https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f16386ae17c6e47843f92db/ebd66d8b-1df6-4039-8956-81e30475a99b/4Q3A1109.jpg Weddings Black and white photo of a bride in a wedding dress and veil, and a groom in a suit, at an outdoor wedding ceremony with trees in the background. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f16386ae17c6e47843f92db/0a3a640e-ad4d-4ade-8647-ad264bccc63e/4Q3A1371.jpg Weddings Northwest Indiana wedding at golf course https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f16386ae17c6e47843f92db/975a56a9-a116-4899-b644-7b2d04ac7fc9/4Q3A0973.jpg Weddings A man in a black tuxedo with a bow tie and watch is standing outdoors during a wedding ceremony, looking at the bride. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f16386ae17c6e47843f92db/f1667869-286d-4406-847e-26ea088efce6/4Q3A0471.jpg Weddings A woman in a pink dress is helping a bride put on her wedding dress in a well-lit room with large windows. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f16386ae17c6e47843f92db/53302095-6b83-463c-9d50-0b27d4119cb1/4Q3A0142.jpg Weddings A wedding invitation surrounded by floral arrangements, pearl necklace, rings, high heels, and a pair of earrings on a light fabric background. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f16386ae17c6e47843f92db/67e4ddb3-7bc4-41c1-9cc3-c037ebbc86ff/IMG_3745.jpeg Weddings A white wedding dress with lace details hanging from a wooden hanger with the inscription 'Mrs. ' on a hook, in a room with brick walls and candle lighting. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f16386ae17c6e47843f92db/ec3e41ef-716a-4a55-aff6-8c09333e7ad6/IMG_7177.JPG Weddings A happy couple embracing outdoors, with the woman holding the man's face and smiling with her eyes closed, in a green field with trees in the background. https://www.photographybyhalle.com/couples daily 0.75 2022-02-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f16386ae17c6e47843f92db/5c35c928-14c5-4c26-948f-01f0e4469752/_MG_3268.JPG Couples A young couple sitting on the beach at sunset, with the woman holding a camera and the man resting beside her.
