From GA With Love

  • Photographer
  • Fine art style
  • Serves Independence, MO for additional fees

Jack Wylde (they/them) (name in progress) I am an Inclusive Wedding Photographer blends fine art with authentic storytelling, creating images that feel timeless and deeply personal. Inspired by the richness of romantic paintings, I capture love with moody tones, candid moments, and creative angles. From elopements at sunrise to backyard celebrations under the stars, I celebrate all types of unions—LGBTQIA+, non-traditional, eco-friendly, and more. Whether it’s a courthouse ceremony or a handfasting in the woods, I focus on the details and emotions that make your day truly yours. Let’s turn your love story into art.

Awarded Best of Zola
Our wedding photos by From GA with Love are absolutely breathtaking. We had our ceremony overlooking a serene Swan Lake at sunset, and the way they captured the luxury and tranquility of that moment still takes my breath away. The shot of us holding hands on the elegant wooden bridge, with the golden light reflecting off the water, looks like it’s straight out of a fairytale. They didn’t just capture the ‘big moments’—the quiet glances, the subtle laughter, and the peaceful calm of our surroundings were all preserved so perfectly. We couldn’t be happier with how every detail was immortalized with such artistry and care. If you want photos that tell the real story of your day—and make it look like pure luxury—look no further!

There's nothing that excites me more than the opportunity to celebrate with you and your loved ones, and bringing your wedding vision to life! From the initial consultation to the final delivery of your gallery, I'm dedicated to providing you a stress-free experience filled with joy and excitement. I firmly believe that every moment and detail of your wedding day is worthy of being captured and cherished forever. Whether it's the heartfelt moments shared with your bridesmaids in the morning, the anticipation as you walk down the aisle, or the pure joy of your first dance, each moment is a celebration to be remembered and treasured.

I am grateful everyday I met Ana at a bridal event nearly 6 years ago. I hear horror stories from friends who had terrible experiences with their wedding photographer. I NEVER have to worry when working with Ana. My husband and I had to reschedule our wedding (COVID), but we still wanted to get married on 10/10/2020. We decided to elope to Colorado and asked Ana if she could come out and take our wedding photos-Ana didn’t hesitate to say yes. Ana has gone above and beyond to be there for us and capture important memories. Not only has Ana captured our wedding in Colorado and Ohio, she captured one last special moment with my husband’s terminally ill grandmother. Ana is the most thoughtful, kind hearted person I’ve met. It is a joy every time we work with her.

I created Living Moments because I have always had a passion for planning special events. I have worked in nursing since I was 16 but my passion for event planning and organizing has always shined through. After the Pandemic, I decided to walk away from nursing and finally pursue my dream job by becoming a certified Wedding/Event planner & coordinator! I love helping people and I pour my heart into everything I do.

Awarded Best of Zola
Living Moments, and especially Christyna, were an absolute joy to work with! I, unfortunately, thought that I could handle our wedding all on my lonesome! As the day got closer I realized that I couldn't make sure things were happening behind the scenes during the ceremony... or while I was having my hair and make up done. For a type A, DIY person, this brought a lot of anxiety. Who could I trust to bring about the vision I had in my head of our special day?!?? Well... Christyna took us on with barely 3 weeks until wedding day and everything was amazing!! It was exactly as I pictured it and I was able to actually enjoy myself. I'm beyond grateful to her and this amazing company!

We arranged to have the Tuck-ins team come to our wedding to set up a table with small fire stations and Tuck-ins so that our guests could roast their own s'mores as a fun, interactive dessert. All of my guests loved them and they were also able to take some home if they wanted to save one for later. Additionally, working with the Tuck-ins team was great; they're very responsive and were even able to customize the labels on the Tuck-ins to have our names and wedding date on them.

She was very professional, took in a few of the things that I really wanted to capture and took them to a new level, and ultimately photographed our wedding better than I could have imagined. She was extremely reasonable in price. I am definitely booking her again when we get pictures done.

"My guests didn't stop raving about how awesome the band was." This is direct from a wedding client review. Our diverse repertoire allows us to help you create the perfect soundtrack for your wedding (Ask for our song list!) We are a contest winning, personable band looking to make your wedding unforgettable. We perform dozens of wedding per year. Great with all ages, special requests and have event planning experience. I'd love to provide price quotes tiered for up to a 6 piece band. That way you can find the perfect balance for your budget and music entertainment needs.

Working with Leo was a great experience. He went above and beyond in providing me the service I had anticipated. His band Wild Faith played for my wedding reception just last weekend and they sounded great. When I first started talking with Leo about his availability he was prompt in his communication and also offered to learn new song material beyond his already extensive set list. This was what really made Leo an exceptional value to us. His offer of learning special songs for us, attention to detail, timeliness in communication as well as showing up on time at our cold and rainy outdoor ceremony site were what he delivered. His band sounded great and he also nailed everyone of our requested songs. In my opinion Leo and his band were ultimately a great fit for us. His value in comparison to other bands I spoke with was unsurpassed. It's a shame that far to often when the term wedding comes up in the hiring process, bands and other vendors seem to charge more for no other reason than the simple fact that they chose to do so. Leo did not over charge for his services and his performance was simply amazing. My guests didn't stop raving about how awesome the band was. He made our wedding special with his professionalism, kindness and the unique sound of his band. He was engaging with the crowd and I wouldn't hesitate to hire Wild Faith again for any future needs. I highly recommend talking to Leo about any live music performances you need to book. He will over deliver and you will be the beneficiary of his work.

Maya was super wonderful for our wedding, she was the only person we met with for wedding planners that genuinely cared about us and what we wanted for our big day. She was super helpful with pulling everything together and helping us hunt down any missing pieces we wanted. She was super on top of stuff but was still able to have fun with us and bring everything so beautifully together. She also had my back through the whole process because there was other stuff going on with my family and she was there for me and was ready to help me out with whatever I needed to help deal with all of it.

We have come to find that life’s greatest events, although monumental, are simply pieces of our stories. Our hope is to capture those pieces in their most honest way-- reflecting them through tangible imagery, to look back on, to hang on walls, and hold in our hands for generations to come.

Austin and Jenna- where to start? These two are everything we could have wished for (and more) in our photographers! From the beginning they made us feel like more than just another client, they truly made us feel like friends. I knew going into the wedding planning season that I wanted photographers who captured who we truly were, how the moments really felt and they certainly surpassed those expectations.They made us look and feel so wonderful on one of the most special days of our lives and I still look through our gallery often, reminiscing. I still don't know how they managed to make two of the most camera-shy people feel so at ease! At the end of the day if you want quality photos that capture the intimate moments and feelings of the most special days and times in your life- I cannot recommend the Sauers enough. I look forward to sharing these pictures with my husband and our loved ones for years and years to come.

We believe wedding films & photos should be deep. Like life, like you and me. After all, wedding films last longer than life. They last throughout your marriage as a reminder of your love and commitment. They carry on through the passing of loved ones that are seen on the screen. They reach your children. We believe each wedding film has at least one story, memory and a lesson worth passing down for generations.

Working with Lizzie Studios was a highlight of our wedding! We were new to the videography world and didn't know what to ask for or what we really wanted. We just knew we wanted the video to showcase the best day of our lives. The video not only met that expectation, but exceeded it. Lizzie made herself available and was able to capture all the small moments. I cried watching our wedding video because it was beautiful to watch and a beautiful memory captured. You will not regret working with Lizzie Studios! Lizzie is affordable and professional, while giving off best friend vibes. What more could you ask for?
