HEY! I'M ASHLEY! Aka, Your Professional third wheel! I am so happy you dropped by! I am a uber bubbly, warm hearted, person who loves to order 3 drinks at Dutch Bros and say its for other people but really its just for me. When I am not spending my lifes savings at Dutch Bros, I am professionally following peeps in love and photographing their stories. I am a lover of true crime and murder podcasts! (But I mean who isnt! I just cant help it!) FUN FACT: I speak switzerdütsch, aka a German slang. My mom is originally from Switzerland and my dad from Jamaica, so you know I am always hungry for adventures (and new places to binge eat at).

Hiring Ashley was easily one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. She’s bubbly, kind, and makes you feel like you’ve been friends forever. The day of our wedding went by so fast, but every single image she captured brings me back in an instant. She not only captured our love story, but captured our friends and family beautifully. Every silly moment, tender exchange and happy tear was published in our gallery — and for that, I am forever grateful. THANK YOU Ashley & Meredith, our wedding day was all the more special with your talent!

Hey there, I’m Bailey, the face behind B&B Photography. Now 27, my love for art started at a young age so ending up here, creating art for a living was no surprise! From capturing milestones, to moments as big as “I do” - I love photography of all kinds. Need timeline help? You got it. Brides of b&b can always ask me to assist in their timeline creation.

The first time I met Bailey was at my engagement shoot on my farm. I’ve had plenty of sessions with family and individual photographers, so I am comfortable in front of the camera, but my future husband is not at all. Bailey gave great instruction and made us both feel relaxed during our session. Can’t wait for the wedding next year!

I'm your bad ass business owner, question answerer, boutonniere pinner, and type-A personality. I spend my days editing your photos and videos with at least one fur baby on my lap. When I'm not working, you'll find me binge watching Grey's Anatomy, Gilmore Girls, or Glee...also with at least one of my cats on my lap. Cats are life.

From the first meeting to engagement photos, rehearsal and wedding day, all the way to final edits Elizabeth was professional, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. She communicates clearly and promptly and has great insight when we asked her about anything. Kyle was a great videographer and support to Elizabeth and Lindsay was amazing as the second shooter making sure two brides were fully covered. Our photos are absolutely stunning and we will cherish our wedding video forever. Our full gallery was delivered two weeks early and our preview was up before we woke up the day after our wedding! They were able to work within our budget and are by far one of my favorite vendors we used. We will absolutely use them in the future for any photography needs and I will recommend them to everyone.

Ever since I can remember, I've been captivated by the power of a single moment to tell a whole story. As a wedding photographer, I get to capture those fleeting, special moments that make each couple's love story unique. With over 4 + years of experience, I blend artistry with technical skill to create images that are not only beautiful but deeply meaningful.

Caleb was fantastic to work with. From the very beginning, he had excellent communication(from the time we booked him for our wedding.) Caleb made sure to touch base constantly to make sure everything was going good, and to see if we needed anything from him, and to send him any photo ideas we had. He was punctual to the wedding, and his professionalism and laid back style, was perfect for us and our wedding. By the time we got home from our wedding reception, he had already sent us some edited photos. Caleb’s editing style also matches the look we were after. He always had pose suggestions for us, constant ideas for how to take group shots large or small. He made us, our family and our wedding guests VERY comfortable. I would highly recommend hiring Caleb for your wedding, or any event.

Welcome! I am a Kansas City Lifestyle, Portrait, and Wedding Photographer. Growing up I always had an eye for anything artistic and loved being able to share my vision of the world. I was first introduced to photography in my senior year of high school and immediately knew that is what I wanted my career to be. I continued the venture through college and graduated from UMKC with a degree in photography. A little about Noire Studios: Where does the name Noire Studios come from? I mixed my first name and last name (maiden) together - NO (from Noelle) and IRE (from Ireland). Creating a business from a few things that capture ME!

Our experience with Noire Studios was wonderful! The communication was prompt and professional from the beginning. Noelle guided us through each step and was very quick to respond to (ALL) my questions. Each image was exactly how we remembered the day and we can't wait to relive them through the years. We we're so glad to have found such an amazing photography team.

Hey hey 👋, I’m LaDonna. Wedding photographer & videographer with a passion for celebrating the love stories of couples from all walks of life. Growing up in the suburbs of Boston and attending undergrad in Connecticut, I’m a true New England gal. Winter holds a special place in my heart, as I embrace the beauty and charm of every location I photograph. I’m always delighted to travel wherever your love story takes you—even an Aspen winter elopement. That would honestly make my heart smile! 😊 My mission: create timeless, heirloom-quality artwork that reflects the unique connection & individuality of each couple I have the honor to serve.

I’m typically shy and not very photogenic, so I was extremely anxious about how our wedding photos would turn out. But after finding LaDonna through a Facebook ad, I immediately knew I wouldn’t have to worry if she was our photographer. She took the time to understand me and helped me find my confidence in front of the camera. By the wedding day, I felt completely at ease and able to focus on the moment with my husband rather than my insecurities in my head. LaDonna and the LT² team captured everything beautifully, balancing candid moments with fine art shots that truly tell our story. The photos are so authentic, and I’ll cherish these memories forever, along with the confidence I gained. Thank you, LaDonna, for an unforgettable experience! 3 7.27.24

First off just like that, the day got a whole lot better now that you are here! But let’s get one thing straight: if you are here, I want you to feel free to be YOU! Being true to who you are makes this process a hell of a lot easier! This is a judgment-free free safe space, and I want you to be as comfortable as humanly possible! Now that’s out the way, I'm Jovan Kiah, specializing in wedding and portrait photography located somewhere in the cornfields of Indiana. But always prepared for a photography adventure, I’m already packed with a suitcase of snacks, my passport, & playlist that spans from Disney musicals to '90s R&B hits.

Jovan was absolutely amazing to work with. On our calls before the big day, she was always so happy and excited and answered all of our questions and it gave us such a sense of ease. I never once had to worry or stress about photos. Day of the wedding she completely killed it. She was still her happy self but was able to organize us and snap some amazing photos. She did a fantastic job of even catching the perfect small moments, some of which I didn’t even know she was capturing. The photos are all so naturally beautiful and I can’t even begin to describe how much we love them. They are clean and bright and show us, our personalities, and our people perfectly. 100% the best decision we made.

I am a Wedding and Event Photographer from Fort Worth, Tx. I am new to Zola and I absolutely love it! I started in Family Lifestyle Photography in 2015 and now have recently fully transitioned to Wedding and Event Photography full time. Some events we photograph are: Bridal Showers, Rehearsal Dinners, Baby Showers, Gender Reveals, Sweet 16’s, and much more including Corporate Events. Our time spent together will be unforgettable and I promise you will make a friend for life with me! :)

We absolutely LOVED working with Erica. She was recommended by a dear friend to photograph our wedding as well as my bridals and she did so good! She is scheduled to shoot several of my friends events as well. We adore her and you are missing out if you don’t book with her! She is easy on the pocket book AND a joy to be around.

Salt & Ivy was an absolute dream to work with. Highly communicative, professional, punctual, and absolute artists. From booking to receiving the photos, they were so amazing to work with. I (the bride) am typically very uncomfortable taking photographs. This was the first time in my life that I was actually at ease and having fun. 10/10 would and will book them again in the future for family/maternity photographs.
