Your most unforgettable day. Preserved forever.
To me, photography is so much more than taking beautiful photos; it's about capturing real moments and genuine emotion. It's the laughter you didn't plan, the quiet glances, the happy tears, and all the little details that make your story uniquely yours.
At Hali Patton Photography , my goal is to create images that feel authentic, timeless, and true to who you are. Every session is centered around you, your personality, and your vision, so you can feel comfortable, have fun, and simply be yourself. I want your photos to do more than remind you of a moment—I want them to bring you right back to how it felt.

Hi, I'm Hali!
I'm a wedding and lifestyle photographer based in St. Louis, Missouri, and I'm so glad you're here.
I truly love getting to know the people I photograph and capturing the moments that matter most. The big celebrations are beautiful, but it's the little in-between moments the laughs, the happy tears, the stolen glances that end up meaning the most years down the road.
My goal is to make you feel comfortable, have fun, and create photos that feel like you. Nothing forced, nothing overly posed just genuine moments you'll love looking back on for years to come.

“Hiring HP Photography for our wedding was the best decision we could have made. Hali, the lead photographer, was incredibly clear, concise, open, and efficient in her communication style from start to finish. The quality of their work was truly stunning - professional, fun, and accommodating. Hali was able to capture all the photos we wanted, and even surprised us with a beautiful, personal touch - a special Polaroid keepsake that we'll cherish forever. She was incredibly adaptable and efficient in getting all the shots we needed in a short amount of time. It's never easy choosing a wedding photographer, but HP Photography exceeded our expectations in every way.”

She went above and beyond to make our special day go as smoothly as possible. I would highly recommend Hali for any situation you want photography done!”

"Hali was truly above and beyond and more than just a photographer. From capturing every special moment so perfectly to helping me with the little things throughout the day (even gluing my eyelash back on 😭) she made everything feel so easy and stress-free. She was calming, supportive, professional, and genuinely cared about making our wedding day perfect. The pictures are so beautiful we couldn’t be happier. We are so grateful for her and could not recommend her more highly!"

"Not enough stars to explain our experience with Hali!! Through the entire process she made us so comfortable.. engagement photos to the big day. She was more than a photographer on Wedding day! She helped with the bustle, brought extra pins when I was having a hard time with my dress, and gave us a fun gift at the end of the night! Her turn around time on photos is fantastic as well. Will recommend to everyone!!"
