Wedding Day Bliss with Lyss

  • Planner

  • Serves Independence, MO

I'm Alyssa, and I'm so glad you found your way here. My love for the wedding industry began in 2021 when I had the privilege of planning my own wedding. From that experience, I discovered my passion for all the details—big and small—that make a wedding day truly special. Whether it's helping you choose the perfect venue, picking the best caterer, or working with a florist to bring your vision to life, I’m here for it all.

When I first started to plan our wedding I was not sure I needed a wedding coordinator but boy was I wrong! Having Lyss for our big day was a game changer. She handled so much- from helping keeping every timeline on track, to setting up decor, to steaming dresses and providing Bobby pins to bridesmaids, my niece ripped her dress and she pulls out a sewing kit and helps fix it, she even saved me with deodorant at one point throughout the day. Another thing I loved is that she took pictures behind the scenes so the next morning when I woke up I had pictures to look back on instead of waiting weeks for my photographers photos. She helped my family with clean up at the end of the night too. She never missed a beat and made it where myself and my family members weren’t running around completing tasks and could actually enjoy the day. She is professional, communicative, kind, and someone you can trust on one of the biggest days of your life. Would recommend her a million times!

Welcome! We are a 2-woman team located in the Midwest (KS, CO, MO...we gotcha covered). We’re based in KS but are thrilled when invited to travel for a wedding. Across the state or across the country...we're down! One of our main goals is to keep our services affordable. We offer our clients very reasonably priced wedding photography packages so that you can spend more on your honeymoon! Or the champagne. Or life in general! Each of our packages includes a free Wichita-area engagement session.

As a couple with a lot of anxiety, we were very grateful for Maria's calm, relaxed presence. She made our engagement and wedding photos feel easy and fun. On top of that, our wedding took place during a blizzard, and she still arrived on time, ventured outside to get some beautiful photos, and never complained once! The photos were absolutely worth the investment. PS - Don't forget to feed her! We were surprised to learn that it's not very common, but with 6 hours of work, it felt like a no-brainer. :)

I walk through my life with an eye for light, stories, and emotion. I have been photographing weddings for just shy of a decade now and can say that the people, places, and stories I have witnessed have shaped me. The friends I have made along the way I continually try to invest in them and their families. I am excited that you are here and that you are interested in having me join this journey with you. If you are fired up for your wedding day, love life a little too much, and think we could be friends go ahead and send an inquiry. Let me tell your story in an intimate way that reflects who you both are together.

Max is phenomenal, not only as a photographer but as a human as well! We moved from Colorado to Arkansas shortly after getting engaged, and because we had already selected a wedding venue in Colorado, our plan was to hire Max for engagement photos in Arkansas only and go with a CO-based photographer for the wedding. After meeting Max and hearing his story, we knew we were going to forgo our original plan and hire him for both sets of photos. Our engagement shoot was so much fun, and my husband and I both felt comfortable the entire time (which is rare for us, we're awkward people!). We knew once we got our engagement photos back that hiring Max for our wedding was the right choice, and man did he prove us right! The second he arrived at our venue on wedding day, he fit right in and made everything feel fun instead of stressful. Our family, friends, and guests are still raving about how much they loved our photographer because he was a joy to talk with and brought such a positive energy to the event. My parents even commented that Max felt like family because he made everyone feel comfortable and truly brought out the joy in everyone while we did family photos. The photos we have received back so far are outstanding - Max has a great eye and his use of light is exactly what we wanted. We are forever grateful that he was willing to travel across the country to document our day.

We booked Rewound String Trio many times at my intimate Champagne bar, and were blown away each time. The ambiance they create with their musical arrangements is nothing short of mesmerizing. Whether playing classical pieces, or creative arrangements of more contemporary songs, there is a timeless quality to their music. Aside from the music itself, these women are kind, professional, and a delight to work with.

She not only allowed us to be our fullest selves but also encouraged capturing us in ways that felt authentic and not stuck in expected wedding photos or gender roles. She captured our guests so beautifully too, particularly the kids who were in our wedding. Everyone's personalities shone through so wonderfully and the picture are absolutely stunning.

We were working with a venue that had some tricky lighting, especially during the formal photos, but she came prepared. She brought in extra lighting and made sure everything was beautifully lit, even in challenging spaces. The photos turned out absolutely stunning. What really impressed me was her ability to turn tough lighting situations into something magical. She has such an eye for detail and a creative vision that shines through in every image.

I started out in project management and then went into transportation. In 2015 I started my first company as a military contractor as a Logistics Broker. Even though that paid the bills I have always had a passion for baking and decorating, and that seemlessly morphed into the love of cooking in general. I would get asked by friends and family to make things, or cater a party, that then become me decorating and/or planning the whole thing. I absolutely loved it but was scared to jump into a totally different line of work. My tribe would constantly tell me that I need to do this for a living because I have a gift!

Nikki planned and catered my husband's 50th birthday party. Decorations were perfect. Taco/Chipotle bar was amazing! Highly recommend her services.

I've been filming weddings for over 5 years now and to this day I love being behind the lens and getting creative with each unique wedding. Capturing lifelong memories, that you'd be able to playback with your family and friends for many more years to come!

When we thought about how we wanted to remember our wedding day, we wanted a mix of authentic yet cinematic, styled but personal, and ultimately a way to help us relive the happiest day of our lives. From the moment I found Anastasiya with Rose Gold Films, I was immediately impressed with her gallery of work, her prompt and professional responses and genuine excitement and enthusiasm for a day so far in the future. Her and her sister were incredible the day of and were so easy to work with. We immediately felt comfortable and trusted her artistic eye. We received a highlight reel maybe 2 days after our wedding, and she also sent us dozens of behind-the-scenes content and reels literally THE NEXT DAY. I can honestly say I watched that first Instagram reel probably 18 times in a row and look at those iPhone videos at least every other day still. The day after, you are still on such a wedding high and to have content literally sent to your phone/email 24 hours after is a feature that is 100% worth any upgrade price. And now I have all those sweet, candid moments forever. It's a new feature I didn't realize how much I would treasure. The full wedding film exceeded expectations and was a beautiful blend of family, friends and our closest loved ones. She also honored our wishes of keeping our vows just between us for the wedding film. If you've gotten this far and aren't convinced that Rose Gold Films is for you, I literally don't know what else to say. She's a 10/10 and I honestly wish we could get married again to relive every second of that day. Luckily, that's what her videos are for...

We are a photo and cinema team. Our niche is weddings, fashion and quinceaneras. We love what we do and our foundation is Jesus. Without Him we would not be here. We are a destination team as well. We travel the U.S. and abroad.

Words cannot fully express the gratitude we feel for the incredible team behind R&R Productions! From the moment we met them during our engagement shoot, they instantly made us feel at ease, turning what could have been a nerve-wracking experience into something genuinely fun and unforgettable. Their warm personalities, unmatched professionalism, and creative vision were evident right from the start. When it came to our wedding day—the most important day of our lives—they didn’t just capture moments; they captured the very essence of love, joy, and celebration that surrounded us. They didn’t feel like vendors; they felt like family, celebrating alongside us while documenting each precious second. They even covered us in prayer, which meant so much to us. Raphael worked through an injury without us knowing, simply because he didn’t want us to adjust anything for him. That level of dedication and selflessness left us in awe. They don’t just take pictures and record videos; they weave a story from the beginning to the end, preserving the magic and emotions in a way that’s truly extraordinary. And I just don’t even know where to begin with Rasheeda. We met through a Facebook post I replied to—one I initially thought was a scam. Boy, was I wrong! She and I ended up talking that very same day for over an hour, and it felt like we’d known each other forever. From the start, it was never just a business transaction; it felt like family helping to prepare for the big moments in life. Her warmth and genuine care meant everything to us. I don’t know what I did to be so lucky to have crossed paths with this amazing team, but I am forever grateful that we did. I honestly feel like I should keep them on retainer for every milestone in life because I cannot imagine anyone else being able to document such meaningful moments with the care and dedication they do. Choosing them was one of the best decisions we made, and we couldn’t recommend them more highly! Jerome and I are so grateful for the both of you.

I’m Remy! I am head over heels for capturing love stories. Watching everyone’s unique journey unfold in front of me is something that brings me great joy in life! Dear Us Photography was a dream that became a reality in 2020 (of all years) but I wouldn’t change it for the world! I’ve met so many amazing people and I can’t wait to continue that!

Remy worked with us at our mountain wedding in Colorado and we couldn't be more happy with the results! She was organized, professional, and easy to work with. She stuck to our schedule and pitched into help when possible. And her photos turned out incredible! Highly recommend!
