I did a lot of research to find a wedding photographer. I do a lot of research for everything, but I felt like it was especially important because if I’m paying so much for a wedding, I want all of the details chronicled beautifully so those memories can last forever. It was really important for me that the pictures looked super natural and not overly editted as if I was right back in the moment when I looked at them. Ivory Grove let me look at several of their photographers’ portfolios since I was worried they might have different styles. They were all very similar and beautiful, but I did like Erika’s the most and they set me up with her. Erika took our engagement photos and our wedding photos and she did a PHENOMENAL job. She got every angle of every moment, and a lot of my guests mentioned how impressed they were that she was getting on the ground for some shots, setting up lighting, and orchestrating everyone to make sure I got all the photos I requested. Ivory Grove finished editing the photos she took in only 2 weeks, and the album they sent has sooo many photos in it. I should have known because I got a lot of engagement photos back as well, but I was just blown away by the amount of gorgeous photos they gave me. It’s also so easy for me to download them onto my phone or computer. The investment was well worth it, but also they were more affordable than a lot of other photographers I’d looked into! Anyway, I can’t say enough good things about Erika, Lindsey, and anyone else who reached out throughout the planning process. Thank you Ivory Grove team!

Elizabeth, Kyle, and her team were amazing - from the first initial Zoom call all the way to picking up my wedding album and everything in between. The process is detailed, so that decisions are made prior to the big day, which helps to alleviate decisions on the day-of. Her photography is out of this world with the angles she finds and the moments she is able to capture. Kyle also has quite the eye for capturing clips throughout the day that make such a spectacular video. 10/10 recommend this duo and their team!!

I've been capturing the magic of weddings for over 10 years. My deep love for love, rooted in my faith, drives me to preserve the beautiful moments that make your day special. When I'm not behind the camera, I’m enjoying life with my husband, our two kids, and two pups. I’m committed to delivering exceptional work and creating a joyful, stress-free experience. My goal is to make you feel at ease so you can fully enjoy your day, knowing every meaningful moment is captured with care.

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.

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.

Hi, I’m Destiny, and photography is more than just a job—it’s a way of preserving the moments that matter most. Your wedding day is one of the most meaningful chapters of your life, and my goal is to capture it in a way that feels natural, timeless, and uniquely yours. I believe in the magic of real emotion—the joyful tears, the unplanned laughter, and the quiet in-between moments. If you’re looking for a photographer who feels more like a friend than someone behind the camera, I’d be honored to tell your love story through my lens.

We couldn't be happier with our experience with Destiny Jackson Photography!

Their communication style was professional, attentive, and personable throughout the entire process. On our wedding day, they made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera and somehow managed to be everywhere at once without ever feeling intrusive.

The quality of their work is exceptional - the photos they've shared with us so far are truly stunning and capture all the special moments of our wedding day. Chelsea even went above and beyond, helping to calm my fiancé when he was starting to get stressed about the decorations, and re-curling my hair when it fell flat from the humidity.

I love capturing people in their very human moments. Images that really resonate with me are those which capture the essence of a person, a relationship, or just raw emotion. I search to photograph moments in which people reveal who they really are. This drive affects everything I do. Weddings are a breeding ground for these types of moments and emotions. Honest love, friendship, and joy. This is why I have chosen to specialize in this type of photography, because it speaks to me in a way than nothing else does.
