The Retro & Modern Group is a wedding photography and videography company blending vintage charm with contemporary creativity. With a unique mix of classic aesthetics and modern techniques, they capture weddings in a way that feels both nostalgic and fresh. From dreamy film-inspired edits to crisp cinematic visuals, they turn every love story into a one-of-a-kind experience.

They genuinely get people how to make strangers smile, how to calm nervous partners, how to prompt laughter from the crowd. That empathy shows in every photo. The videography has emotional beats that make us remember the feel of the room. They captured little details, like my grandmother’s vintage brooch, with reverence. The team’s humor made group shots fast and fun. The final gallery felt curated with an eye for storytelling. The prints are high quality and the album binding is sturdy and beautiful. They made sure we had everything we asked for and suggested lovely extras. I appreciate their respect for privacy and how they handled social media sharing.

Wild Rose Planning & Events was established in 2021 by two wedding industry experts. Throughout our years in the industry, we felt there was a gap in the planning process, making it feel more like work than fun. We’re here to provide you with the experience you deserve — stress free, organized, and memorable!

Awarded Best of Zola
When my husband and I got engaged in May 2023, Wild Rose was the very first vendor I booked (I sent my inquiry the day after he proposed). As a venue owner with more than 5 years in the industry at the time, I knew that the most important, non-negotiable vendor would be our coordinator. I knew that I wanted the full planning aspect so that I could enjoy the process as a BRIDE, not from an industry or “work” perspective. Brenna and Molly had been so amazing to work with at the venue, I absolutely loved their product and knew I had to have them do my wedding. From day one they made me feel so confident in our choices, our to-do list felt like it was handled and I didn’t have to worry about a thing. They fully designed our day - stationary, florals, decor rentals, it was such a blast to have our check-in meetings on Zoom to SEE our design come together. They handled all of the vendor exchanges, including when we arrived to our venue in Costa Rica and it looked completely different than the pictures online so we ended up moving our ceremony site to our welcome party site with 24 hours to go! I’d be lying if I said I didn’t worry for a second, but I did worry - if only for a second. Truly Brenna and Molly said “we got this” and they handled it so easily. I was worried about packing two wedding dresses for international travel - Molly had me bring them and my suitcase to work and she herself packed them perfectly. When we got to Costa Rica they came to our villa to unpack and hang them safely. On my wedding day Molly steamed my veil and was actually the one to get me in my dress. They were also so incredibly understanding with everything I wanted to do to include my mother who passed away in 2021. I brought a necklace with cremation remains and they so lovingly tied it on my bouquet for me. They carried the portrait I had my now mother-in-law carry down the aisle around with them throughout the day like she was just hanging out with them. They even took the portrait back to their flat so mom was at their “after party.” Our 3 sons are the first to refer our friends and family that are wedding planning to “Miss Brenna and Molly” - they loved hanging out with them for the week we were together. Overall - I love Brenna and Molly enough to spend a year in meetings with them AND fly them to Costa Rica for a week, along with our 30 closest family and friends. Their care, attention to detail, and confidence continue to amaze me and Wild Rose will always and forever be the best thing I ever did for our wedding!

B&B Photography LLC was an incredible choice for our wedding photography. From the start, the communication with Bailey was fast, easy, and incredibly helpful. She was available to answer our questions and provide guidance throughout the planning process. Her questionnaire before the wedding was really essential in helping us plan group shots and decide on what pictures were essential vs not important for us. On our wedding day, Bailey went above and beyond, not only capturing all of our most important moments with beautiful, high-quality photos, but also acting as a "wedding superhuman" - she communicated with the ceremony venue and helped us with so many little details to ensure our day ran smoothly. The final photos were absolutely stunning and the value was incredibly reasonable! We are thrilled with the work of B&B Photography and would highly recommend to any couple looking for an exceptional photography experience. We loved her so much that my sister booked her for her fall wedding as well!

I was a part of a family members wedding party a few months ago and one of the main memories that stand out from that day was our photographer Christopher!

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've been capturing the magic of weddings for over 10 years. My deep love for love, rooted in my faith, drives me to preserve the beautiful moments that make your day special. When I'm not behind the camera, I’m enjoying life with my husband, our two kids, and two pups. I’m committed to delivering exceptional work and creating a joyful, stress-free experience. My goal is to make you feel at ease so you can fully enjoy your day, knowing every meaningful moment is captured with care.

Keshia with Evergreen Photo Company is an absolute pleasure to work with. She has a kind spirit, and seems like she connects with each client in a unique and interesting way. She has beautiful images, and the edits she puts on each photo really bring them to life.

I'm so happy you've stopped by. My name is Juliana Noelle Jumper. I am a destination wedding and lifestyle photographer based out of a little shirtwaist home in Historic Northeast Kansas City. I live with my husband, our six cats, and two Great Danes. We also own THINE, a fine art wedding magazine.

Awarded Best of Zola
Juliana and I have been involved in a variety of different shoots together, and every single time I am blown away by the images she produces. Her vision and editing is beyond any other that I know. I would recommend her every single time to every single person.
