Who is Imagery By Ingrid?
wedding photographer and built in best friend
it's so nice to meet you! i am so happy you're here!
Hey, I’m Ingrid, and I’m SO HAPPY you’re here!!! WELCOME!!!!
If you told me years ago that I’d end up as a wedding photographer, I probably would have laughed. I actually went to college for cybersecurity, dreaming about working for the NSA.
But life has a way of surprising us.
Even while I was studying, I always had a camera laying around somewhere. something I’d carried with me since I was twelve years old. Back then, I never went anywhere without it. I just knew, even at that age, that I didn’t want to forget the way moments felt. Somewhere along the way, I realized that while I was fascinated by technology, what I really loved was people. Their stories. The way love shows up in the smallest gestures. The quiet, blink-and-you’ll-miss-it moments that deserved to be remembered.
So, I traded one lens for another. And here I am—capturing the most meaningful days of people’s lives.
These years behind the camera have taught me that beautiful photos are only part of what you deserve. You also deserve an experience that feels personal and effortless. From the first time we connect, I’m here to guide you: helping with timelines, location ideas, and all the little details so you feel prepared and excited. On your wedding day, I’ll be there not just as your photographer, but as your extra set of hands, and your biggest supporter.
Because in the end, these are more than pictures. They’re pieces of your story, preserved exactly as they happened.
If you’re looking for someone who knows how precious every moment is—someone who will honor your day with care, intention, and heart—you’re in the right place.

2012-2016
My love and yearning for photgraphy came long ago. I was 12 years old when I was gifted a little old canon t5 for Christmas. You guys, I literally swear that was my child. Then hard times hit in 2016, and I had to sell it to help my parents cover a bill. It was fully decked out and I was heartbroken, but that love never left.

2023
In August 2023, We moved back to Missouri, and everything started unfolding fast. That November I shot my first wedding, and absolutely LOVED it!
Ever since then, I’ve been learning as much as I can. I upgraded my camera and lenses, became an LLC, and went all in.

2026 and beyond...
I have learned so much, and this job has already taken me to the coolest places, Italy, Paris, Montana. I’m so grateful for the journey, for the growth, and for the people who trust me with their memories.
how it all started!
It's been a journey to get here...
College started, and so did a whole new chapter. I met a boy who would become my husband, Trey, and we got married and moved all the way to North Dakota for the Air Force.
Truthfully, it was hard. It was so cold, and I was hundreds of miles away from my family, and I fell into a really heavy season. Trey saw it, and he surprised me with a camera, a Canon 70D. I was SO excited. It felt like someone put light back in my hands.
