The Talented Photographer was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. From the very first interaction, Alec's communication style was fun, professional, and incredibly personable. He had a true passion for his craft that shone through in every interaction. The quality of Alec's work was absolutely stunning - we got a wonderful variety of candids, formal shots, and editorial-style pictures that captured all the special moments of our day. Alec has an incredible eye for the right shots, and the final photos are absolutely gorgeous. Despite a complicated location schedule that I was worried about, Alec made the whole day seamless, traveling to over 4 different spots to ensure we got all the groupings and special shots we wanted. Alec truly went above and beyond, and we had such a great time working with him. I'm obsessed with the pictures and would give him an 11/10 rating!

A Little About Me I’ve spent the past 12 years working in digital photography, film, and television. I’ve traveled across the country contributing to everything from commercial photoshoots and TV shows to full-length feature films. While my primary focus for the past seven years has been in television and film, I’ve never set down my still camera. Throughout that time, I’ve continued to pursue my passion for portrait and automotive photography. Now, I’m excited to return to the medium that first inspired me: wedding photography.

Working with No Limit Grip LLC for our wedding photography was a truly outstanding experience. Chris and his team were incredibly clear and direct in their communication, which put us at ease throughout the entire process. Their work was innovative and of the highest quality, capturing all of the special moments we wanted - and even some we didn't realize we needed. Chris made sure to get photos of the little details, like the kids playing and my bridesmaids' happy tears, that we'll treasure forever. In fact, I loved working with him so much that I tried to book him for every event! No Limit Grip LLC's professionalism, creativity, and long-lasting photo quality made them the perfect choice for our wedding day.

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!!

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.

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.

Working with Sound Originals was a dream! They were incredibly communicative leading up to the wedding, eager to send reminders and answer questions as needed. They listened to our concerns and made sure to prioritize the things we valued- like taking photos outside, getting LOTS of group pictures, and enjoying candid snapshots. The day was unexpectedly rainy, but our two photographers were ready, enthusiastic, and full of creative ideas. They were so fun to work with and incredibly flexible when things got slightly off schedule. We got our photos within a month, and we loved how they turned out. Both the candid and staged photographs were amazing. Our experience was incredible, and we would highly recommend them!

Ivory Grove was a great and easy company to work with! I was sent a list of all of their photographers to view their work and give a preference of who we’d be assigned, which was reassuring to see each individuals work. The payment plan each month was great as well, as we had everything settled before the big day. There was always communication with Ivory Grove in the months before the wedding and I knew I could always reach out and get a quick reply if I had any questions. We ended up having a different photographer than our engagement session, but it worked out great as Nicole was amazing! She went above and beyond throughout the day, even putting on all of the groomsmen’s boutonnières. We got so many great shots in places that Nicole suggested and couldn’t be happier with our pictures.

We were impressed from the beginning with their clear communication and responsiveness and we stay impressed after seeing the end result. We hired OLAS for photography and videography. Both did an amazing job and we were so happy with the results.

Awarded Best of Zola
We were terribly disappointed when COVID caused us to cancel our 200 person wedding. In the midst of terrible uncertainty (remember those very early days of the pandemic?!) we planned a micro-wedding with just our parents as witnesses. Every bride dreams of her wedding day, and all of the special moments that go with it. We are so incredibly fortunate and thankful that Emily captured every single one. From the detail shots, to the getting ready images - despite our big day looking nothing like we'd originally planned - Emily documented the experience beautifully. After the ceremony, we headed off to key Kansas City landmarks where Emily took the time to pose and primp us so we looked our absolute best. The photos turned out so wonderfully, we got extra large prints that we proudly display in our hearth room. For couples looking for someone who will effortlessly capture the candid moments, and pay close attention to all of the details for those classic posed portraits, Emily Owens Photography is absolutely the right choice!
