Kendal Banks Photography

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Independence, MO

Hi, and congratulations on your engagement! I’m Kendal, a Kansas City wedding and elopement photographer capturing love stories across the Midwest (and beyond!). I work with couples who do things their own way—the cool, the quirky, the beautifully real. Whether you’re planning a backyard wedding, a mountain top elopement, or a full on dance-floor blowout, I’ll blend artful portraits with honest storytelling to capture your day exactly as it feels.

Kendal beautiful captured our vision for engagement and wedding photos. She provided helpful tips for getting everything to run smoothly and captured a lot of special, fleeting moments. She’s great with people (for instance, did a great job putting our flower girls at ease). She planned out all the shots very well, while also improvising some really cool photos as the opportunities arose! We had a somewhat idiosyncratic wedding, and she was so down for it all! We’ll treasure these photos. If you’re looking for someone who is both wonderfully personable and highly professional, look no further. Highly, wholeheartedly recommended!

Working with Kalena was an incredible experience from start to finish. She photographed both our engagement session and our wedding day, and we couldn’t be happier with the results! From our very first meeting, she was professional, knowledgeable, and instantly made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. She is also incredibly sweet and a joy to be around. Kalena has an amazing eye—she knew exactly how to frame each shot and beautifully captured the emotions and details of our day. Kalena also made our wedding day flow so smoothly. From the moment she arrived at our venue, she worked quickly and efficiently, keeping everything on schedule and even giving us some extra downtime before the ceremony. Without her, there is no doubt in our minds that things would have been much more hectic. We’re incredibly grateful for the memories Kalena has preserved for us, and we are beyond impressed with her work. We can’t recommend her highly enough!

From the first meeting to engagement photos, rehearsal and wedding day, all the way to final edits Elizabeth was professional, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. She communicates clearly and promptly and has great insight when we asked her about anything. Kyle was a great videographer and support to Elizabeth and Lindsay was amazing as the second shooter making sure two brides were fully covered. Our photos are absolutely stunning and we will cherish our wedding video forever. Our full gallery was delivered two weeks early and our preview was up before we woke up the day after our wedding! They were able to work within our budget and are by far one of my favorite vendors we used. We will absolutely use them in the future for any photography needs and I will recommend them to everyone.

Your photographer is your most important wedding vendor. It’s the only way to relive your big day once it’s done. Keshia photographed my sister’s wedding, and I knew I absolutely had to book her for mine. She not only captured gorgeous intimate moments that happened throughout the day, but she was professional, confident, and on-schedule when organizing bridal party and family photos. Truly, you are getting the full package when working with Keshia. My husband and I were able to spend more treasured one-on-one time together on our wedding day because of Keshia. Also, my wedding photos are some of the last photos I have of my mom, who passed away a few months after I was married, and I am so grateful that Keshia went above and beyond to capture so many beautiful documentary-style moments between my family that I will have forever.

Hi! My name is Angi Landis. I received my Bachelor of Science Degree, in Photography, from the University of Central Missouri..... years ago. Angi’s Art became a reality in 2004, and I have had fun photographing wonderful moments ever since. Weddings are my absolute favorite!! As a professional wedding photographer, I take the art of story telling seriously. From the first moments you see each other, to the small glances you give each other while holding hands… I want to show it all! From the wedding cake, to the smallest decoration…. If you put thought into it, I want to artistically document it for you.

I love the energy Angi puts off! She was amazing, she made us feel comfortable and gave us positive energy! She was so funny and made the day special for us! Her photos are absolutely amazing. She also is a great “wedding planner” she kept our day on track, well really ahead of time giving us extra time to walk around and talk with friends and family! She made the day absolutely perfect and her photos were amazing!!

Morgan K Photography

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $1,500
  • Serves Independence, MO

I started my business because I found something I am really good at, and I wouldn't mind doing for the rest of my life. Afterall, isn't that everyone's goal in life? Do what you love and love what you do and you'll never work a day in your life. My business itself started off and on for the first few years. Mostly due to babies. My babies are now toddlers, and I find my finger itching more and more as they grow to continue capturing every little step. I find it completely selfish to keep it all to myself and let's face it, my girls can only take so much of my camera following them around.

Morgan is my go to photographer! She is phenomenal at what she does and has captured the essence of my family many of times. She is wonderful, very respectful, punctual, patient, and professional! She is everything you could ever want in a photographer.

On the day of the wedding, they made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera and managed to capture every special moment so beautifully—both the big highlights and the candid little in-between shots that mean so much.

Awarded Best of Zola
We found Madison because she was an Alumni from same school, UCF, as me. We booked her to do an engagement shoot (an hour outside of Orlando) and our photos turned out absolutely amazing. From that one interaction with her, it really felt like we knew her our whole lives. She is super nice, personable, and made us feel very comfortable right away. She also had so much knowledge about the area, and any questions that we had regarding the shoot. She planned and timed everything out so that we could get photos at one location, and then sunset photos by the beach 30 min away. And then when we were looking for photographers for our wedding (in Philadelphia), it was a no-brainer that we wanted to book her again to capture our big day. She came halfway up the coast and played a large role in making our day perfect. We planned the photography from 1000 miles away, and she was really communicative and helpful about the picture planning, and also just wedding planning in general. We ran into a timing issue with how the day was going to work out before the ceremony, and she helped us navigate that, and she worked to keep us on track throughout the night for the different photos that we wanted. She knew what to do & what not to do in the Church. She also worked well alongside our videographer. Ultimately, we are very happy with our experience with Madison, and the wedding photos she took turned out absolutely amazing.
