Awarded Best of Zola
Tai was my makeup artist for my wedding, and she was wonderful to work with - professional, on time, kind, and patient throughout the entire process. I was pleased with my final look and felt like a more glam version of myself, which was what I wanted. Five of us had our makeup done, and Tai took great care with each person, especially my sister who has very sensitive skin and my mom whose makeup preferences were more specific. We also loved the touch-up kits provided for each of us. Tai was open to feedback both during my bridal trial and on the wedding day itself (pictures of my trial attached - realized I didn't take a good plain make up shots on the day of). Since I don’t have much experience with makeup terminology, it took us a little longer to get to what I wanted for my eye makeup and lip color. Tai was very accommodating as we adjusted a few things together. Looking back, I think seeing some colors swatched directly on my skin earlier in the process could have helped, especially since as a non-expert, it felt like we were on different pages trying to communicate. However, that probably isn’t specific to Lovely Beauty and would’ve been the case with myself and any make up artist. In any case, Tai’s willingness to collaborate and make adjustments was appreciated. Additionally, the Lovely Beauty Team was responsive to my emails and easy to work with throughout the planning process, and I would absolutely recommend them to other brides.

We had our wedding in Fall 2024. We booked with a Venue that offered all the things, and great packages, so we could be worry free come the Big Day! Unfortunately, come our wedding day we did not get what we were promised or planned for. After our wedding we just kept beating ourselves up and saying “we could have done so much better” and “I wish we would have just made this or done that.” So we took a leap and here we are! We are determined to help other couples on a budget but still want quality! It’s our mission to help make every event we are involved in, Beautiful and Memorable.

I received so many compliments on my bouquet and the flower arches — they were truly breathtaking. You can tell they put so much care and detail into their work.

I’m Cassidy, the heart behind Cassidy Drury Photography. I’m based in Kansas City and specialize in capturing weddings in a way that feels both elevated and deeply personal. My approach is calm and intentional, so you can be fully present while I document everything as it naturally unfolds. I care just as much about your experience as I do your photos.

My goal is for you to feel comfortable, taken care of, and confident, knowing your memories are being captured beautifully.

Cassidy Drury made our wedding day feel effortless from start to finish. Her communication was clear and friendly, and she kept everything organized so we never had to worry about a thing. What really set her apart was how she made us feel like we were just hanging out with a friend rather than posing for a photographer—my husband and I were genuinely comfortable in front of the camera, and our whole wedding party felt the same way. The quality of her work is truly top tier, and we couldn't be happier with every single shot.

Welcome! I am a Kansas City Lifestyle, Portrait, and Wedding Photographer. Growing up I always had an eye for anything artistic and loved being able to share my vision of the world. I was first introduced to photography in my senior year of high school and immediately knew that is what I wanted my career to be. I continued the venture through college and graduated from UMKC with a degree in photography. A little about Noire Studios: Where does the name Noire Studios come from? I mixed my first name and last name (maiden) together - NO (from Noelle) and IRE (from Ireland). Creating a business from a few things that capture ME!

Our experience with Noire Studios was wonderful! The communication was prompt and professional from the beginning. Noelle guided us through each step and was very quick to respond to (ALL) my questions. Each image was exactly how we remembered the day and we can't wait to relive them through the years. We we're so glad to have found such an amazing photography team.
