Ryan was very easy to work with and understood what kind of music we were looking for right off the bat. His timing with the ceremony and reception entrance was spot on and just what we were looking for! Several of our wedding guests commented that the dancing music was awesome. Neither of us are big dancers, but Ryan brought the party and kept both of us on the dance floor all night making it one of the highlights of our wedding.

Awarded Best of Zola
I can’t say enough about the incredible experience I had working with Brenna and Molly from Wild Rose Planning Events. Brenna was my primary planner, and we opted for their full-service package, which was hands down the best investment we made for our wedding. From day one, Brenna was on top of everything – even with the small but essential details like parts of our invites, menus, and custom signage. She truly went above and beyond, bringing a personal touch and creative flair that made our wedding so special. Brenna and Molly brought so much creativity to the planning process. They even used their Cricut to add those perfect handcrafted details that made everything feel unique to us. I had a few items I wanted from Pinterest, and Brenna took care of all the ordering, handling all the specifics with the vendors. Every time I reached out, she was quick to respond, making me feel reassured and at ease throughout what could have been a stressful process. Something especially unique about Brenna is that she went above and beyond, working closely with a travel advisor to plan my entire three-week honeymoon abroad. She handled every detail, from flights and accommodations to curated experiences that made our honeymoon an unforgettable extension of our wedding celebration. Her dedication to planning every part of this experience truly blew me away, and I felt completely cared for even after the wedding day was over. Planning an out-of-town wedding could have been a logistical nightmare, but Brenna and Molly made it seamless. Their network of vendors is outstanding, and I felt so comfortable knowing they had connections with everyone from florists to photographers. On the big day, every vendor seemed genuinely excited to work with them, creating a lively, positive atmosphere that elevated our celebration even more. We got married at Top of the Rock at Big Cedar Lodge, a dream venue. Thanks to Wild Rose, I was able to have a hands-off experience for what is normally a hands-on process. Running my own small business, I know how important it is to have reliable partners, and Wild Rose Planning Events delivered every step of the way. They made it possible for me to relax and truly enjoy our wedding day, knowing every detail was flawlessly handled. Wild Rose Planning Events came highly recommended by a friend, and now I see why. Brenna and Molly have such a great reputation, and it’s well-deserved. They went above and beyond, making my dream wedding come to life, and I feel like I gained two friends in the process. If you’re looking for a team that is dedicated, creative, and genuinely invested in making your day special, I wholeheartedly recommend Wild Rose Planning Events. They made our wedding and honeymoon dreams come true, and I am forever grateful!

It's been two months since our wedding day, and I still cannot get over how incredibly amazing and wonderful the team at Whatever is Lovely was for my husband and I throughout our entire experience. If you are in the Kansas City area or beyond (we were planning from Denver, Colorado) I cannot recommend this team enough. I would give them ten stars if I could. My coordinator Meranda was like a trusted friend, helpful sister, and wise-beyond-expectations consultant for everything. I had no worries or stresses on my big day thanks to she and Rachel being on site to do anything that was needed - even reading my mind and my mother's mind several times throughout the day. Because of this team our wedding day was prepared, organized, stress-free, and ENJOYABLE. I love being able to say that. Thank you, Meranda!

From the first meeting to engagement photos, rehearsal and wedding day, all the way to final edits Elizabeth was professional, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. She communicates clearly and promptly and has great insight when we asked her about anything. Kyle was a great videographer and support to Elizabeth and Lindsay was amazing as the second shooter making sure two brides were fully covered. Our photos are absolutely stunning and we will cherish our wedding video forever. Our full gallery was delivered two weeks early and our preview was up before we woke up the day after our wedding! They were able to work within our budget and are by far one of my favorite vendors we used. We will absolutely use them in the future for any photography needs and I will recommend them to everyone.

Caitlyn Cloud Photography 

5.0

Kansas City, MO
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style

I grew up in a divided home, literally. Splitting time between my parents after their divorce, often being in the middle of their fighting, made me grow into a very empathetic person. It’s become the biggest strength I take with me into wedding days. My documentary style stems from my ability to sense when special moments are about to happen. I am able to sense emotions that aren’t necessarily visible, sense when to come close and when to be a fly-on-the-wall, and sense what/who is important to you therefore important to photograph.

Awarded Best of Zola
Caitlyn was so easy to work with and so organized. The portal she uses to share bills and information is very easy to use. She was flexible with scheduling and offered great guidance for day of scheduling. She is a great communicator and responds quickly. The day of she made the whole experience effortless honestly! Our photos turned out amazing, we loved the candid and more posed photos. It was great to have a good mix of each! Every wedding day has issues, our venue didn’t put out our chairs and Caitlyn totally rolled with it and took pictures while people waited for chairs to arrive. She’s also just a genuine person and truly cares about the people she’s working with. Would recommend her 100%.

could be speechless, but because I want to give them the review they deserve i’m not. First of all, VIBES. With the stress of what a wedding brings, they made sure everyone was laughing and comfortable with everything going on. Gaby is an absolute rockstar with a brush in her hand, I showed her how I did my eyeliner and she took extra time to make sure it was what I wanted. Makeup didn’t budge the entire night. And with the happy tears it’s something that is SO important. Hannah and Madilyn are A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. Their vibes and laughter are so contagious, let alone the fact that they SLAY and I mean SLAY hair. Tai and Liz are just as amazing. They slayed every makeup look for sure. Made sure everyone had what they wanted as far as makeup, whether it was simple or glammed up. I had a party of 13 and not ONCE was I worried about timing. I could go on and on about this team. They were never behind and made sure we were all ready on time. We all know the hair and makeup sets the timeline for the day!!! If you want a team that goes above and beyond for their clients, this is who you should choose. Endless gratitude for my girls Madilyn, Gaby, Hannah, Tai, and Liz. I have so much love for this team.

Hi there! Nice to meet you! I’m a photographer, full-time executive assistant at a non-profit organization, graphic designer, true crime weirdo, and karaoke expert in Kansas City, Missouri. Most importantly, I’m a mom to a sweet baby boy and two pups, and I’m in love with my best friend. Twelve years ago, in a tiny Kansas town called Yoder, I started my little photo business. Since then, I’ve been so lucky to be able to create many life-long friendships with tons of incredible people throughout the Midwest and beyond.

From the very beginning, they were extremely responsive and attentive, always getting back to us quickly and addressing any questions or concerns we had. Their photography style is truly unique and creative, capturing beautiful, one-of-a-kind shots that we'll cherish forever.

We had such an amazing wedding at The Oliver Building. Having the venue for the whole weekend made our weekend run so smoothly. We had our rehearsal Friday night, and brought everything over so we didn’t need to deal with it Saturday. Then got ready in the amazing upstairs suites Saturday morning. We had a great time, and Caitlin was so easy to work with! The only reason I took a star off is that we had some issues with the bar. We made it clear from the start that we wanted to prioritize the bar, and didn’t want long lines. Because of that, they said we would have 3 bartenders, and would batch some of our signature cocktails. Unfortunately, we only had two bartenders, despite giving tips for 3, and there were no cocktails batched. We did have a pretty long line at our bar most of the night because of this. All in all, it was an amazing venue for our wedding!!

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. Adventurous. Simple at heart. Your story is so worth capturing and being told. I love what I do because I get to document connection and creation all over the world. 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.

Tj is talented, warm and genuine! Though his pictures speak for themselves, his fun-loving nature makes it an experience rather than checking off a task. He is so generous with his time, never seeming to be in a rush. He cared about our personal story and so obviously worked that into our pictures…it’s what made our wedding pics feel so much like us! Honestly, having a photographer that feels like a friend (& is one!) makes all the difference and we couldn’t recommend him more :) Also, he’s so organized & on top of all the details! That’s worth a lot on a wedding day.

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 super talented and a pleasure to work with!
