Caitlyn Cloud Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Pleasant Hill, MO

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.

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%.

Stevie Nicole Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,550
  • Serves Pleasant Hill, MO

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.

We cannot recommend Stevie enough. From our engagement shoot to our wedding day she was absolutely amazing. Her personality makes you instantly feel comfortable and her laugh is contagious. She’s so responsive and has such good ideas for cool photos. She’s someone we want to use for photo sessions going forward and we CANNOT WAIT to get the rest of our wedding photos in. She’s a 100/10!

Natalie Nichole Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves Pleasant Hill, MO

Weddings are my passion, it's not the decor, or the outfits, it's the pure LOVE between my couples. It is such an honor to be a part of my couples biggest day of their lives and the beginning of their marriage. Getting to use my talent to document their connection and all the amazing moments during the day is really a dream come true.

Awarded Best of Zola
Natalie is AMAZING! She shot our wedding back in 2021, and we still look back through our photos in absolute awe. They're timeless, beautiful, and a true reflection of our wedding day. If you want your wedding to be an 8-hour photo shoot, I don't know if Natalie is the right photographer for you. But if you want to *feel* your images and be able to actually relive your wedding day through photos, you would be remiss not to hire her. She made our wedding day (and engagement shoot) SO much fun, helped us pose when we got awkward, and worked with us when we decided to push back our date.

  • Serves Pleasant Hill, MO

There is nothing I love more than capturing special moments between loved ones - whether it be bride and groom or parents and their children. I'm best at the in-between moments that you weren't expecting. The picture catches you off guard and makes you say "wow, I didn't know you got that". I'm always looking for real emotions and interactions.

I was a guest at my friend’s wedding where Call It Magic took photos, and they were fantastic! They were super friendly, they blended in, and they managed to capture all the big moments along with the candid ones. The photos are absolutely breathtaking! I’d recommend them to anyone.

Hi there, I am Shana Wooley and the one smiling back at you from behind the camera, helping you plan “all the things”, and standing by you on your big day. I am a native of the south (I grew up in Alabama) and I moved to Kansas City in 2012. I studied photography at Austin Peay University and started W the Studio in 2009 (which is the same year that my “tinybff” Luke was born). I met my very amazing husband, Josh, online (so no judgement here if you’ve found the love of your life on the www).

Working with W The Studio for our wedding photography was an absolute pleasure. Shana and her team were incredibly responsive, friendly, and detail-oriented throughout the entire process. They listened closely to our vision and delivered creative, beautiful portraits that perfectly captured the special moments of our day - even when we had to adapt plans due to unexpected rain. The turnaround time for getting our photos back was impressively fast, and we're thrilled with the end result. We highly recommend W The Studio to any couple looking for talented, professional wedding photographers who will go above and beyond to make your day perfect.

Together, they created an all-inclusive, stress-free environment where couples can choose from talented local photographers and videographers and work with a small team of planning experts equipped and eager to make everything a success. With the pressure gone, you can truly enjoy your big day. Relax and rest assured that all the emotional and moments will be documented with unmatched quality.

Erin and the entire OLAS team were an absolute dream from start to finish. From our very first phone call to receiving the final gallery, everyone was kind, professional, and so helpful. Erin was a calming, joyful presence all day long – giving gentle direction exactly when we needed it and somehow making us feel like total naturals in front of the camera. Every single photo is breathtaking. She captured the giggles, the happy tears, the little glances – every moment that made the day feel like pure magic. Steve and I keep saying we’ve never smiled so much in our lives, and now we get to relive it forever because Erin caught our love so perfectly. If you’re getting married: book OLAS. 10/10. Marry your best friend and let OLAS capture it. We’re obsessed and will recommend them to everyone we know! Thank you, thank you, thank you for making our wedding day even more unforgettable.

I am honored to have the opportunity to laugh…to cry…to share your love story.

Awarded Best of Zola
Where do I even begin with Jessica Yahn Photography? From the very first time we met her, Jessica didn’t just feel like a photographer — she instantly felt like family. She has this warm, genuine personality that puts you completely at ease, and by the end of our engagement session, we already knew we’d made the best decision choosing her to capture our story. When it came to our wedding day, Jessica went above and beyond every single expectation. She didn’t just take photos — she created moments that felt straight out of a dream. Every detail, every emotion, and every bit of love that filled the day somehow came through perfectly in her work. Her creativity, professionalism, and passion are unmatched, and her photos are truly magical. But what meant the most to me was her kindness and care behind the camera. In the middle of all the wedding chaos, when I started to feel sick, Jessica stopped what she was doing to come check on me — not because it was part of her job, but because that’s just who she is. That small act spoke volumes about her heart and the kind of person she is. Jessica didn’t just capture our memories — she became a part of them. She is no longer just our photographer; she is our friend, our family, and someone who will always hold a special place in our hearts. We will forever be grateful for her and the way she turned some of the most important moments of our lives into pure, timeless magic.

We were stoked. He was amazing to work with on the wedding day - punctual, friendly, got all the requested shots, and the whole bridal party loved him. We got our pictures back today - and they’re so much better than we could have dreamed of. It’s no wonder he was featured in Vogue - his work is artistic, candid, and beautiful. Thank you Caz for giving us such beautiful memories so we can relive the best day of our lives.
