Wild Elegance

  • Serves Parma, MO

Hello hello! My name is Marie and I am the owner and photographer for Wild Elegance. We are a brand for adventurers, for lovers of life, and genuine people who love those little moments between the moments in life and seek out truth over perfection. Your marriage is unique because of the relationships you have with the people you choose to celebrate with. Spending my day with you and your closest family and friends brings me such joy, and creating art out of some of the best moments of your life is something I am truly honored to be a part of for so many.

Awarded Best of Zola
Knowing how much of a financial investment a wedding photographer was going to be, I did not take my decision lightly. I reached out to several companies and had several questions when determining who would be the right fit. And I have to say, Marie was by far the most understanding and compassionate during that process. While many photographers seemed annoyed by the (many) questions I would ask before booking, Marie was patient and very thoughtful with her responses -- she even took time to arrange a phone call with me while traveling! And during that phone call, she made sure I didn't feel rushed and that she answered all questions I had fully, it truly felt like I was talking to a friend. That was when I made the decision to book with Marie. Beyond that, when booking the session for our Engagement photos, she brought several creative and adventurous ideas to the table and had the PERFECT locations to take us to. We had a blast together. I would recommend Marie to anyone looking for a photographer who is friendly, compassionate, accommodating and just a joy to be around.

Whether it’s the wedding of your dreams, a garden bridal shower, or a food festival for 2,000+ we have you covered!

The entire experience with Olive Co was top notch! We contacted Olivia a few months back and were able to snag them up to do our wedding reception. They delivered! I was blown away and so were my guests. It was everything we could of ever hoped for! I also have to say the communication was far beyond anything my other vendors provided. Olivia said she would be available anytime and my 11pm and sometimes 1 am texts always got responded to. She was on it, and I love her for giving me peace of mind. Not only did the food rock BUT I opted to do our own plates (I had a vision) and forgot them at the airbnb 40 minutes away from our venue. Olivia got in her emergency bag and saved the day! She also helped out other vendors on site who were late! I just can't say enough good things and can't wait to use Olive Co at our next event. Thank you Olivia Sherri for making our weddding a dream come true.

Helped me stay calm when we hit a couple bumps along the way, brought me water after the ceremony (I hadn’t realized I hadn’t drank any for awhile), made sure I had drinks throughout the night, but also made sure I ate before attending to my guests! He helped me take care of myself in the midst of the chaos! My husband and I read our vows privately before the ceremony and Chris already sent that over and I have cried so many times watching it already because he captured the moment perfectly! I can’t wait to see the rest of the footage! 10000/10 would recommend Chris for your wedding videographer!

I'm a film & digital photographer based in the Midwest but traveling internationally to capture heartfelt moments and authentic love stories with a cinematic and nostalgic feel. I started out with travel photography but my passion for portraiture and timeless romance led me to specialize in elopements, destination weddings, and intimate couples shoots for intentional and adventurous couples.

Stacey was a dream to work with! She was quick to respond from the minute we submitted an inquiry to weeks after our elopement. She also scheduled an initial zoom meeting before even signing anything which was very personable and helpful to meet the person you might want to hire! For the day of, we had an intimate elopement with only 3 friends. Stacey made us feel so comfortable and like she had known us for years even though we had just met in person that day! Stacey gave us directions on what to do for the pictures, but not strict posing which made the pictures seem so much more natural, candid, and real. She is a gem of a human and so friendly. After the elopement, Stacey provided us with sneak peeks almost immediately. And when we were delivered the final pictures, we were blown away. Every single picture was PERFECT. We also requested some photos on film, and every single one of those were perfect as well. Could not be happier with choosing Stacey to photograph our day that we’ll remember forever.

My journey with photography began over a decade ago in high school and has since grown into a heartfelt career. Inspired by my time in Iowa and the beauty of Milkweed fields, my business name reflects my love for fleeting, magical moments—just like the Monarch butterflies that migrate each year. I believe every love story is unique and deserves to be documented with care, warmth, and authenticity. I’d be honored to capture yours!

Working with milkweed moments is a breeze! I was nervous because I have a 3 and 1 year old, and wasn’t sure how they would cooperate. Aubriana made everything go smoothly. She’s great with kids, great with directives on posing, and really made the day so fun! She got all the shots I dreamed of!”. Will be booking her again in the future!

When you elope in the middle of a pandemic, it matters all the more that you love your photographer--since they'll be the only other person at your wedding. :) And in short, we couldn't be happier that ours was Shawnee. She has such a gift and a love for the work she does—and it shows. We knew she was the right person from the moment we met on Zoom--she is warm and kind, asked all the right questions, and instantly put us at ease. My partner and I eloped at the end of October 2020 in DC, just before the election. It was a whirlwind moment for so many reasons, especially as a queer couple. And it mattered to us that the person who captured those treasured memories, really understood what that moment meant to us. Everyone who sees our photos marvels at how wonderful they are—and no doubt we look great, but Shawnee’s warmth and direction and stellar eye really made all the difference. Vibing with your photographer matters—we’re so grateful to have found one with such grace and as much love for her art as Shawnee. <3

My name is Jillian and I'm a photographer and artist in Kansas City My goal is to capture you. Every couple, family, person is different, and I want to make sure your uniqueness comes through in the images of your special days. My style tends to lean into rich colors and textures. Are you a couple that doesn't want to have a typical wedding? I'm a photographer that doesn't want to give you typical images! I always tear up at hand written vows. I love my partner and my two dogs Moonshine and Chosen One, and my cat Bucket.

Jillian at Youngbird Photo (j.guthrie_photo on Instagram) is such a true joy and delight to work with. Not only did she come to photograph our small May ceremony, but she photographed a first look photo session with us after we canceled the reception!! My dress was in covid lockup in May, so I wasn't able to wear it at the original ceremony. Jillian made sure that we had pictures of the dress, and captured a first look moment for us, and that will forever mean the world to me. She even came over to photograph the centerpieces that we had worked so hard on!! She makes people feel so comfortable and has such an amazing eye for what will make a beautiful shot. She is immensely talented and an absolutely delightful person. And bonus, she works with any budget. She truly believes that every couple deserves beautiful photos, and will work with you, whatever your situation is. Case in point, she's done our engagement photos, our small ceremony photos, and now our first look photos, and in every instance, she went above and beyond for us. I will recommend her forever, and still cannot completely put into words how much she and her photos mean to us!

I am a wedding photographer based in St. Louis, Missouri. I have been doing wedding photography for about 5 years now. Before this I worked for media production company doing 3D animations and product photography.

Shawn took our wedding photos last summer and he did a beautiful job. We felt so lucky to have a photographer who not only prepared us for what to expect but also put us at ease throughout the day. He gave us a ton of creative ideas for photos and was so patient with everyone. He made both our families feel comfortable in front of the camera and that is saying a lot! But what we really loved was how amazing the photos turned out. We were completely wowed at the quality of the photos - he caught everything we wanted and so much more. They are a beautiful reminder of love we felt on our wedding day.

My passion is capturing the unique love stories of couples who are wildly in love and unafraid to be themselves. I love working with couples who find ways to incorporate their personalities into their wedding. Imaginative couples who are silly, free-spirited, kind, and playful. I aim for the dreamy, romantic, fairytale feeling from start to finish.
