Merriam, KS
  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,400

I love capturing people in their very human moments. Images that really resonate with me are those which capture the essence of a person, a relationship, or just raw emotion. I search to photograph moments in which people reveal who they really are. This drive affects everything I do. Weddings are a breeding ground for these types of moments and emotions. Honest love, friendship, and joy. This is why I have chosen to specialize in this type of photography, because it speaks to me in a way than nothing else does.

Meghan at Spencer Studios was so much more than a photographer for us. She immediately recognized that we were struggling with our planners, especially day of, and stepped up. She went above and beyond in every single aspect. I truly believe she saved our day. Meghan fit so seamlessly into every aspect of our wedding day. She wasn't just our photographer, she was our voice and most importantly our friend who made sure everything went perfectly. She made sure that we took time to be thoughtful of each other and say the things we were thinking aloud to one another. Those are things you can't capture in a photograph, but she made sure we had them anyway. Our photos are absolutely gorgeous and she captured every single moment thanks to her very detailed questionnaire and timeline. Her eye for detail and beauty shines in every photo (all 2,400 of them). She told us that she loves to shoot weddings because the photos aren't just for us, they are for generations to come. That has been so true as we spend each anniversary with her artwork and have decorated our home with her little touches.

I don't even know how to begin to describe how amazing Sofi is! She and her team are absolute gems. Sofi helped my now husband plan his proposal in September of 2024. It was such a wonderful and well thought out day, so naturally we had to have her as our wedding manager! Throughout the planning process, she helped us complete tasks on time, gave us great creative ideas and advice, and made sure that everything was prepped for our wedding day. Sofi does things far beyond what is expected. She contacted each of our vendors and made sure that they understood the plan for the day of and that nobody would have questions for me, my husband, or our families. Sofi and her team have wonderful attention to detail and set up our ceremony and reception spaces beautifully. On our wedding weekend, my husband and our families were able to completely relax and fully trust that everything was handled. Our day went perfectly thanks to Sofi. Several of our friends and family members told us that they noticed how kind and organized she is. We are eternally grateful to Sofi and know that we would not have had nearly as wonderful of a wedding without her. Choosing her as our wedding manager was the best decision we could have ever made!

Ally did such an amazing job on our wedding day!! She was our day of coordinator, but she did so much more leading up to the big day. There are so many pieces and parts to planning a wedding and during the planning process Ally made sure that we had everything from the wedding dress to petals for the flower girl to throw. She is so thorough and has excellent attention to detail. Our wedding day would not have ran even remotely close to how it was without Ally and her team. She laid out a clear timeline and made sure that everything was in its place. If there were any hiccups in the day, I never found out because she handled any issues that might have come up. My wedding day vision truly came to life and that is all thanks to Ally and her team. I couldn't recommend her more to any bride looking for a wedding planner or day of coordinator!

With over a decade of experience and 400+ weddings celebrated, we know that planning your dream day doesn't always happen during a standard 9-to-5. At Confetti Events, we specialize in crafting bespoke, effortless weddings that truly reflect your vision and personality. To ensure we are always there when you need us most, we offer dedicated late-night office hours, making us accessible to answer any planning questions as they arise. We are more than just your planners; we are your bestie guides through your bridal era. From immersive design to seamless coordination, we're here to make your dream day effortlessly magical!

We were incredibly lucky to have Whitney from Confetti Events as our wedding planner. Beyond being a close friend, she brought an exceptional level of professionalism, creativity, and calm to our wedding in August. We had a very specific and layered vision—a hacienda-inspired aesthetic set in the forests of Oregon, with elements that also complemented a golf course setting—and she executed it beautifully. She translated a complex idea into a cohesive, intentional design that felt warm, elevated, and completely “us.” What truly set her apart were the thoughtful details and her ability to make things happen, even at the last minute. When we decided we wanted an ice cream vendor close to the wedding, she made it happen seamlessly. She also incorporated deeply personal family touches, including honoring our “legacy of love,” in ways that felt meaningful and never performative. Those moments meant so much to us and our families. From planning through the wedding day, she handled logistics effortlessly, coordinated vendors with confidence, and anticipated needs before they arose. Because of her, everything ran smoothly and we were able to be fully present and enjoy every moment. Hiring Confetti Events was one of the best decisions we made. Whitney balances creativity with flawless execution and leads with genuine heart. We couldn’t recommend her more highly! Mariel Johnny

  • Photographer

  • Serves Merriam, KS

Relaxed, Easy going with a Refined, editorial wedding photography rooted in connection, emotional storytelling. I photograph weddings with a calm, intentional approach, blending editorial direction with natural, unscripted moments. My goal is to create images that feel effortless, elevated, and deeply personal, so when you look back, you don’t just see how it looked, you remember exactly how it felt. Your story unfolds naturally.

Hiring Keri-Ann as our photographer was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. We are a very private couple a s she respected this. Our celebration was a three-day Indian and American wedding weekend, which meant there were so many meaningful traditions, family moments, and emotions to capture and Keri-Ann handled it all flawlessly. From the very beginning, she was incredibly professional, kind, and genuinely invested in telling our story. She took the time to understand our traditions and made everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera. Her presence felt calming during moments that could have easily become stressful, and she helped guide us through the timeline so we could actually enjoy our wedding. What truly stood out was how far she went above and beyond for us. One of my close friends was flying in from another country and arrived later than expected, and I really wanted photos with her. Without hesitation, Keri-Ann changed her return flight and stayed an extra night just so we could do that session. She didn’t charge us anything additional for her time the only cost was covering her extra hotel night. That level of care and flexibility meant so much to us. When we received our photos, we were absolutely blown away. Every image felt emotional, elegant, and timeless. She captured the beauty of our traditions, the joy of our families coming together, and all the little moments we didn’t even realize were happening. Looking through the gallery felt like reliving the entire weekend. Keri-Ann is not just a photographer she is someone who truly cares about her couples and the memories she preserves for them. If you want someone who is talented, thoughtful, and willing to go the extra mile for you, she is the photographer you want by your side. Fatima

Rating: 5.0 (7 reviews)
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Merriam, KS

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
Besides saying yes to my husband, Caitlyn was the best decision I made for our wedding. I truly have no complaints - Caitlyn is easy to work with and exudes joy. From the start, communication was prompt and friendly - I clearly had no idea what I was doing, and Caitlyn helped me figure out exactly what I wanted our big day to look like. Her prices were extremely reasonable, especially for the quality of product we got. Our engagement photos, wedding photos, and reception photos are all high-quality, while also capturing real moments of joy / not looking overly "posed", which was a big concern of mine as someone who is very awkward in front of a camera. Our wedding was very small, so part of me was nervous about having a photographer there - however, Caitlyn's personality and kindness put everyone at ease, she fit right in! I cannot recommend Caitlyn enough - she will provide incredible documentation of your event(s)!

Lauren is absolutely amazing. She made my wedding day a BREEZE with getting everything I could ever want in photo form. I highly recommend any of her work/packages. Each one gets just as much effort. I plan to use her for any and all photos we ever need.
