Paola, KS
  • Photographer
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $3,500

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. BBC GB

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

Venue considerations

  • Not for you if you prefer a more modern aesthetic
Everything about this venue is amazing. The true Kansas views, the wonderful staff/owners, and the beautiful facilities are just the tip of the iceberg regarding all the great things I have to say about Fireflies Farms. I got married in June 2024 and still receive many compliments about my wedding. Everyone comments on how beautiful the grounds/buildings are and how fun the space is. Planning a wedding can be overwhelming, but Lisa (the owner) was so helpful!! I cannot thank her and her event coordinator enough for making sure I thought of everything, coordinating the day of, setting up the venue, and working with me on the unique activities I had planned throughout my wedding day. I got married in their meadow, and I have an elderly family member who has mobility restraints. They didn't think twice about using their golf cart to shuttle them to ensure my loved one was able to participate in such a special day! I cannot thank them enough for being so thoughtful in those little but important details! Also, the venue already having a stockpile of decor to choose from and decorate with was amazing and eliminated one more thing I had to worry about. Not that you need much decor since the venue is so pretty on its own that every corner is a beautiful backdrop to your photos!

I have loved planning events of all kinds for as long as I can remember but weddings hold a special place in my heart. There is just something so beautiful and unique about each couple and each wedding. I am beyond honored that my clients choose to trust me with the most special day of their lives.

Awarded Best of Zola
I had done much of my wedding planning on my own, and I knew a requirement of my venue was having a day of coordinator for contact purposes, so finding Ally was the perfect match. We met a handful of times in person beginning 6 months out all the way up to our big day, but she was always just an email or a phone call away as well. Ally was great in ensuring I had everything checked off that I would need, providing ideas, and ultimately providing a sense of peace and organization for such a busy day. We truly could not have done it as seamlessly without her.

100/100 - would hire again. I knew that hiring a wedding planner wasn’t just a want, but an absolute NEED for us (for me, really). And once that decision was made, I went to all my trusty wedding vendor friends and read all of their vendor recommendations and found Sofi. The moment we had our first call to the day of, Sofi was a gem! On our initial call she asked what my budget was and details/vision of our day and recommended what service we should go with - there was NO pressure at all. Working with Sofi, I felt like I had someone in my corner. She was there if/when I needed her. I also appreciated the reminder emails she would send out to help keep us on track! Our day would not have been as perfect as it was without her. From start to finish, utter perfection. Even with the little snaffoo with the caterer, Sofi made sure I got something to eat (lactose intolerance brides IYKYK). Hiring Sofi and getting to know her was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Wonderful human all around!

Caitlyn Cloud Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (7 reviews)
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Paola, 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
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%.

I wish I could give Aquina and the Authentically You team more than five stars. From our first proposal meeting, Aquina brought an incredible level of knowledge, experience, thoughtful guidance, and high-level execution throughout the entire wedding planning process. I had complete trust in her to recommend and manage all of our vendors and help bring our wedding vision to life and she delivered! We had multiple components: rehearsal, rehearsal dinner, welcome reception, wedding (including different venues for ceremony and reception), and a farewell brunch. To say it was complicated with a lot of moving parts is an understatement. Thanks to Aquina and her team, our wedding weekend was absolutely magical. We were able to truly focus on the day and celebrate with our loved ones, while she seamlessly handled all of the logistics. We even had a thunderstorm and tornado warning and Aquina sacrificed herself to go out in the pouring rain to move car seats in a shuttle. True dedication!!! I cannot recommend Aquina enough! We did partial planning as I’m a type A finance person (plus add on services for the night before and brunch after) and it was perfect. I felt like I always had Aquina’s full attention and help when needed. She’s well worth the investment!

The rawness of emotion & human connection is what drew me into wedding and portrait photography. I am a storyteller and celebrater for the lighthearted and crazy in love. I focus on capturing authentic photographs that stand the test of time. My goal is to provide couples with one heck of an experience and images that can be cherished for a generations. One of my favorite facts about my style is that I created my own preset from scratch, and that each photo receives the dedicated time it takes to ensure that its final version is its best. The result is beautiful, sentimental photos that preserve meaningful and true-to-life moments.

Annie was absolutely amazing. I’ve never had professional pictures taken and am nervous in front of the camera. I was always worried about how my wedding pictures would turn out or if I could even afford them. Annie made both my husband and I very comfortable in front of the camera and even got us laughing. The pictures were so fun to take and I absolutely LOVE how they came out. Not only that but they didn’t cost me half of my wedding. Annie is very reasonably priced and her photos are exquisite. She helped me stay on track with which photos to take and did amazing with the candids.

Karli was fantastic and she helped me create a look where I looked like a glowy enhanced, but still natural version of myself. The lashes in particular felt light and didn't overwhelm my eyes. We did our couple photos at the WWI Memorial in 95 degree heat in March and the only touchups needed were my liner and eye shadow-- as a sweaty girlie, this was particularly impressive. I felt beautiful and confident all day! You can clearly tell I was feeling myself in this little snapshot.

She was on top of everything and used her creativity to find the best spots for the shots. She was extremely professional, organized, & understood (and even excelled in) her task of rallying our 18 person wedding party. And the icing on top of her amazing personality and skills, was she got us our sneak peek gallery in less than 24 hours. It was such a treat to have those to share as we reflected on our day.

I had the honor of serving as my niece’s wedding coordinator for her wedding at the Little Shawnee Chapel, and it was an amazing experience. I’ve worked with many venues, and this one was by far the best. Anna was wonderful to work with—always available to answer questions and incredibly prompt with her responses. If you choose to have your reception at the clubhouse next door, the staff there are just as fantastic: kind, helpful, and truly invested in making your day special. Overall, this venue was a 10/10 experience, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to host a small, intimate wedding.

We enjoyed the time spent and our photos even more. So much that we rehired them to capture our celebration (party) with all our loved ones and friends. We mostly enjoyed the 360 photo booth. Their professionalism is unmatched. Thank You, Captured KC, for making such an important memory CONTINUE to come alive! The Williams Family

Awarded Best of Zola
We had the pleasure of working with Heidi and Jodi, and they exceeded all expectations! Our wedding theme was travel, and they seamlessly incorporated it into the florals and décor, making everything feel cohesive and beautiful. They created stunning centerpieces, bar arrangements, welcome table florals, high-top mini arrangements, and dessert and cake florals. Beyond just the flowers, they designed the overall look with thoughtful added décor, bringing our vision to life. Their attention to detail and artistry made our wedding truly magical. Highly recommend!

  • Serves Paola, KS

We'll partner with you to design a custom drink menu tailored to your style and event vibe. From signature cocktails to fun, personalized names, we'll help create something unique and perfectly suited for your celebration.

We had a Mexican theme birthday party for my mom. We hired Wandering Cantina to take care of the set up, decoration, and drinks. They were awesome. They were very professional and made everything easy for us. Our guests were so happy with the selections of cocktails, mock cocktails, tequila drinks and wine besides other non alcoholics options. The bartender was very nice and a good listener. We recommend them. We plan to hire them again.
