If the idea of stiff posing and forced smiles makes you nervous, you’re in the right place. My couples care deeply about how their wedding feels — not just how it looks. They want to be present, soak in every moment, and trust their photographer to capture it honestly.

Awarded Best of Zola
Katie was an awesome photographer for our engagement and wedding! She made us feel so comfortable throughout the process and our photos look so natural as a result! It felt like we had known her for years. We would recommend Katie as an excellent photographer for capturing all of the special details of your big day!

We exist to make your decision so much easier. There is no event too small or too large for this team. If photography or videography is the most important thing to you on your special day, working with us will ensure that your biggest memories are captured, and last a lifetime.

We used Aventi photo/video/coordination and they were a dream team! They kept us on schedule and were so helpful in every way- helped us get my vail on, helped me bustle my dress, helped us pick locations for all pictures/formals. The communication leading up to the day was incredible- we had our own text chain with the whole team and could ask questions at any point. They were constantly communicating amongst themselves the day of, to keep our day on track but also willing to switch directions on things if needed and took any suggestions we had to heart. We received our engagement pics back within a week and received our wedding pictures back in under 2 weeks and were blown away at what they captured. Truly an amazing team to work with- I'd hire them again a million times!

I'm a traveling wedding & elopement photographer based in Kansas City. My roots are in the midwest but I'm often on the move. I strive to photograph those who are madly in love. The non-traditional.

Small moments, big ones, they all matter to me. I get to be there for all of it and I think that's pretty dang cool. My mission is to make timeless, emotion-filled, storytelling images all for glory of Jesus.

Deanna Johnson Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $7,000
  • Serves Independence, MO

Taking the photo is only a fraction of my job. I’m the cheerleader, usher, keeper of the timeline, and stealth ninja anticipating what’s coming next. After 10 years and more than 200 weddings, I’ve learned a trick or two about how to navigate the unique challenges of a wedding day. I’ve learned that planning for the inevitable means getting to enjoy the unexpected. I’ve learned when to take center stage and be the conductor to ensure that your must-have shots are checked off that list. But, I’ve also learned when to be still and wait for the relationships surrounding you to show their beautiful touches of joy that long to be captured.

Deanna did a phenomenal job photographing our wedding at Melrose Abbey in October 2025. Photos were very important to us and every time we look back through them, we get to relive the day and the beautiful moments. The engagement photo session was a great time to learn what angles and poses we liked about each other, gave feedback to Deanna of what we liked, and the results from the wedding allowed us to have too many good photos to choose from. I also opted to participate in a bridal portrait session which is very common in the South (I'm from Texas). I had so much fun with Deanna at the bridal portrait session taking all the photos I wanted in my dress ahead of the big day. I was able to coordinate trial hair and make-up, mock-up bouquet, and trial run dress and accessories. The bridal portraits enabled me to relax and enjoy all the bridal party and family portraits on actual wedding day. Deanna has such a beautiful vision for photography with both her regular camera and film, she has such a positive attitude and does a great job of coaching but allowing your personality to shine through. We also opted for a 2nd photographer to capture all the moments and Deanna did a great job selecting Chris who took some amazing photos and was fun to work with too. Deanna helped us plan out the wedding day schedule and shared some of her favorite outside photo spots to take the bridal party. She was super responsive and was even scoping out the spots as the day came closer to let us know that the photo spot we had selected was partitioned off for a concert and we were able to pick a new spot about a week ahead of the wedding. She did a great job communicating with our other vendors and we were incredibly thrilled with all keepsake photos we will treasure for the rest of our lives. Thank you for so beautifully capturing Nick and I on our very special day! We would highly recommend Deanna for any photo occasion!

My work is focused on creating the kind of photos that will remind you of exactly how it felt to be in that room again when you pull out your wedding album in 50 years. I understand that your wedding is about so much more than just the photos - it’s the only day that all of these people will be under one roof.

Hallie is a wonderful photographer in EVERY way! Not only is she crazy talented and easy to work with, but her work stands out from the rest. You can tell she really cares and puts a ton of effort into her craft and it shows with quality work that is edited to look like real life. Hallie is a great communicator, reliable and a total blast as well! <3 I'd recommend her over and over and over again.

Hi, I’m Morgan, but you can call me Morgs! I’m a Kansas City based wedding and lifestyle photographer with a love for visual storytelling. My background in psychology sparked my passion for photography, reminding me how tangible things like photos help us relive how moments felt. My husband and I eloped ourselves, so we have a soft spot for smaller, intentional celebrations. He’s also my second shooter, bringing his own creative eye to every story we tell together. My work is nostalgic and intentional, capturing connection over perfection and preserving memories you’ll feel forever.

Working with MorgsBehindTheCamera was an absolute delight from start to finish. Morgs’ friendly and consistent communication made wedding planning so much easier. She went above and beyond to ensure our guests felt included and every moment was beautifully captured. Our photos have a nostalgic, vintage feel that perfectly reflects the day. Morgs was professional yet so personable, and we couldn’t be happier!

Hi, I’m Erin and I love telling stories. I'm Midwest based, Kansas City to be specific, but I'm a Michigan girl at heart and love to travel! My favorite way to share the world through my eyes is from behind a camera lens. Your story is beautiful, and worth sharing.

Erin was wonderful from the first chat we had with her. She made everything from our engagement session to check ins before the big day, to all aspects of wedding photography have such ease. We feel so fortunate to have found her, especially as a queer couple and the industry being filled with "bride and groom" talk, she didn't skip a beat at making us both feel special as the brides.

I love photography because every shoot and every couple, family, or person is different. I want to make the process of getting photos taken as easy and fun as possible. I love that I am able to honor God with the skills, abilities and gifts He's given me to not only make a living, but to empower and encourage others, and to help other businesses and non-profits grow and thrive. I personally thrive on discovering beauty in every person and relationship and capturing that moment in time. I don't care to be trendy. I want to capture YOU as you are RIGHT NOW. Let's connect! Feel free to inquire off Zola on my website's inquiry form!

When I began searching for a wedding photographer, I made a giant spreadsheet of local photogs. (I really wanted to find the perfect person to capture our day!!!) I compared their photography style, experience, and price. I wanted someone who took vibrant documentary photos that were timeless and not trendy. Someone who was a joy to be around and had the experience to back it up — someone who actually studied photography at school was my dream, not someone who picked up a camera as a hobby. And someone who included a second photog in the price package in my budget. Aubrey checked every box and then some. Hands down the best decision to hire her. Bonus points: She does pet photography, too!!!

Hey Tay

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves Independence, MO

When I was looking for my own wedding vendors, it was important to me that I find people with similar world views that fit into my budget and were behind how laid back my vision for my wedding was. I am here to advocate for you. What that really looks like is you telling me you want something and me saying "treat yo self". I want to help you capture memories of your day the exact way you want it to share with your family, your friends, & yourself for years and years to come. So, if you're down to hop on that dance floor with me and feel how effortless it is to be 100% yourself in front of the camera, hit me up. I'm excited to meet you.

For our photography we used Hey Tay Photography. I have struggled with writing these vendor reviews because I cannot even begin to describe just how incredible my experience with Tay has been. I knew from the jump that I wanted Tay to do our photos for the wedding. For starters I have been in front of Tay’s camera multiple times and am continuously in amazement with the work that she produces, the way she makes you feel, and the energy that she brings every single time. She did our engagement session out in downtown Kansas City and watching her creative wheels turn as she found the perfect places and perfect views was so much fun! She then came and did our wedding. Her eye for details is unmatched and it shows in her stunning work. We received our sneak peaks within days of the wedding, and received our entire album less than two months after the wedding. Tay is phenomenal and her work is even better! She is incredibly professional and organized and rides hard for her clients. At one point something was bothering me on our wedding day and I mentioned it and the first thing she said was, “do you want me to take care of it”. She is enthusiastic, sincere, encouraging, and arguably one of the best wedding photographers in Kansas City. I truly could sing her praises all day, but will spare you. HIRE HER!

I reached out, and she got back to me immediately. Her communication skills were top-notch, and I hired her that same day. My fiancé and I live in the Carolinas, and despite the three-hour time difference, we always felt in the loop, heard, and understood. From the first email to the wedding day, she was amazing. Now let's get to the important stuff... the wedding day. She was incredible. She got all the shots I wanted and then some. We were able to get all the photos done in a timely manner so that we could get back to the party and enjoy ourselves. Brayley captured both staged photos and the best candids.

Hi! My name is Steve. I do visual storytelling. I’m married with three kids and in my spare time I record music and build things. I've been filming and photographing weddings since 2009. I love travel and getting to know unique couples.

We hired Steven and his team to do our wedding photos and videography. I really wanted a photographer that could capture the soul of the event, and Steven did exactly that. His photos are full of life, and I shared so many portraits with guests that actually got printed out or posted online. If you're looking for hundreds of photos of your wedding party that look exactly the same and for every planned second to be documented, Steven is not your person. If you're looking to hit the big moments but focus on capturing raw moments with timeless photos to get framed, I couldn't recommend them more. I never thought I would get a wedding video because it always seemed cheesy to me. But after watching examples of his work I fell absolutely in love with his videos. I've honestly had a hard time watching ours because it evokes so much emotion. Steven was collaborative and willing to go with the flow. We gave him the difficult task of being prepared for 3 different locations with totally differing lighting (indoor/outdoor plus shooting from high sun into the night). He puts an immense amount of care into his work and the photos are truly art that we will cherish forever. If there are specific things you want covered, be sure to share a list. When it comes to capturing the moments that can't be planned, he is on the case!
