As a documentary-style photographer, I truly believe that the essence of life is captured in the unscripted, candid moments that often go unnoticed-- Each click of my camera is more than just a snapshot; it’s an opportunity to freeze time and preserve the love, joy, and uniqueness of your moments for generations to come.

Anna is absolutely incredible and such a pleasure to work with. She really knows how to make you feel comfortable in front of the camera. Her work is absolutely phenomenal as well. I have never been so pleased with a photographer before! Her editing is beautiful and she really can just capture emotions in her photos. Her photography became my favorite aspect of my wedding. She did not only our wedding photos, but a few other shoots as well, including our engagement photos. She is honestly the only person I would trust/recommend to capture your sweet wedding memories. I honestly don’t have enough words to describe how much I cherish the photos that she has taken for the special moment in our lives.

Hiring Kiera as our wedding photographer was the best decision EVER. Kiera is incredibly kind and talented. She is patient and flexible. We had road bump after road bump come up during our wedding planning process and Kiera helped us navigate every single one with ease. She responded to us super quickly every time we had a question or concern, and was so helpful. On our wedding day, Kiera went above and beyond. She helped us navigate the craziness of the day. We truly felt how much she cared for us and our wedding. She returned sneak peeks and our album very promptly and the photos were TO DIE FOR. We have received so many compliments on them!

  • Photographer

  • Serves Ellston, IA for additional fees

Hi! My name is Mae, and I live in Brooklyn with my girlfriend, our two dogs Apollo and Bia, her cat Gigi and my lizard, Basil! I’ve always been passionate about capturing moments as authentically and magically as possible, and as i’ve settled more into this career path, I love that i’ve landed in a place where I have the privilege to capture and preserve people’s love stories. Weddings and elopements are so distinctly and uniquely human, and it’s truly the biggest honor to be trusted to document them.

I came across Mae’s work when looking for a photographer for engagement photos in Central Park, and I was immediately impressed with Mae and knew we were going to be incredibly happy with the results. Mae responded immediately to all my questions, day or night, and took the time to video chat with me at length twice before the shoot to discuss what we were looking for in our photos. Before the shoot, I had sent her a few examples of what I liked, and not only did the photos come out exactly how I wanted them, but were even more perfect than I envisioned. The engagement shoot itself was so much fun, and Mae made us feel so comfortable throughout the entire process, despite us thinking we’d both feel awkward getting posed photos of us taken. Mae truly had a vision for what poses, locations, and lighting would work, and the execution was perfect. Some of the feedback we got from our friends was that the photos looked like a magazine, and that they were “ethereal.” Even better, Mae somehow got us the edited photos back within 24 hours of the shoot. Her pricing is also incredibly reasonable given the quality of her work, meticulousness, and experience in photography, as well as the very quick turnaround time. My fiance and I truly cannot recommend her enough, and we are excited to work with her again in the future. She is truly an artist, and any couple would be incredibly lucky to work with her!

Whether it’s a courthouse ceremony or a handfasting in the woods, I focus on the details and emotions that make your day truly yours. Let’s turn your love story into art.

Awarded Best of Zola
Our wedding photos by From GA with Love are absolutely breathtaking. We had our ceremony overlooking a serene Swan Lake at sunset, and the way they captured the luxury and tranquility of that moment still takes my breath away. The shot of us holding hands on the elegant wooden bridge, with the golden light reflecting off the water, looks like it’s straight out of a fairytale. They didn’t just capture the ‘big moments’—the quiet glances, the subtle laughter, and the peaceful calm of our surroundings were all preserved so perfectly. We couldn’t be happier with how every detail was immortalized with such artistry and care. If you want photos that tell the real story of your day—and make it look like pure luxury—look no further!

Winter holds a special place in my heart, as I embrace the beauty and charm of every location I photograph.

Awarded Best of Zola
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

Ascendance Productions LLC was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding day. Jackie, the lead makeup artist, was a true professional who responded quickly to all of our inquiries and kept us organized throughout the planning process. On the day of the wedding, Jackie demonstrated her passion for her craft and the quality of her work - my makeup looked flawless and natural, and I received compliments on it all evening. We even had some extra time remaining, and Jackie was able to spend additional time ensuring I looked my absolute best. The second artist who came to help with the bridesmaids' hair was also very kind and professional, though she did seem a bit rushed at times. Some of the bridesmaids hair did not stay and required some extra hairspray and re-curling before the ceremony. Overall, Ascendance Productions LLC was a tremendous value and I would highly recommend them to any couple looking for top-notch beauty services for their special day.

Awarded Best of Zola
We feel so lucky to have found Andrew as our wedding photographer. He has an incredible eye for the editorial style and makes his photos into works of art with golden light and chiaroscuro. So many photographers just rely on their high-res equipment but don't offer anything more--I don't want a macro shot of every pore or line on my face like an owl in a tree at 100 yards, I want to have a sense of magic and beauty in every photo. Andrew actually does that. I almost cried when I saw our first look photos because I don't feel very confident being photographed and I finally had dozens of photos of myself and my husband that I want to share with friends immediately and cherish forever. He delivered the first look so fast, even though I know he was busy working another wedding; I thought for sure we would have to wait longer. The wedding package we chose included very nice touches like polaroids so we had something in hand at the end of the wedding day itself, too. It was very thoughtful and left us feeling good about the whole experience right away. He was very personal and nice to work with, but not intrusive, and went with the little schedule changes we had, and was open to suggestions while we took post-ceremony photos around the city. I couldn't be happier with our experience with him and would recommend him highly to anyone looking for a real artist for their wedding photography.

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!

Noelle is amazing!!! From the engagement session to the wedding we loved every image.

My name is Meredith. I’m a self-taught photographer, an avid hiker, and a person who loves getting lost in their own city. If I am not photographing, you will either find me in one of two places, a coffee shop or out in nature usually eating my favorite snacks in fish form (Swedish or Gold), or belting anything from musicals to early 2000s country (yes there is a difference) to 90’s hip hop jams.

I've had the privilege of working with Meredith at Cross Lake Media for a couple weddings now, and she's been nothing shy of an amazing vendor to work with! As a videographer, she's given me all the creative reign I need to successfully do my job all while being able to do hers as well. She's both professional and personable, and I am so glad the photographer community has brought us together. I love seeing the way she gives her clients the MOST special treatment, and I can't wait to see how she will continue to grow as a photographer.

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.

She helped bring all my visions to reality, I couldn't ask for better! The results were stunning! Kira made me feel comfortable and confident during the photoshoot, which really showed in the results. I can tell she paid attention to each little detail.

Hey, how cool of you to end up here. I promise not to bore you with a bunch of flowery language or over-the-top promises. I love to document real moments. Weddings, elopements, couples' shenanigans - you name it, I am here for it. I do this with a healthy dose of humor, a dash of sarcasm and a whole lot of heart. So if you're looking for someone to capture your day in all its imperfect glory, say something, let's make it happen.

Loy at Sweet Lime takes some great photos. He was a joy to work with and helped set the room up by providing a suggestion that none of the restaurant staff, or us, had thought of which ended up working swimmingly. The day of the wedding, he was present but also not too if that makes sense. He was kind enough to send us a couple preview shots while we impatiently/patiently waited. The photos are well worth the wait. I would be happy to recommend Sweet Lime Photography. You will not be disappointed in his service.

On the day of the wedding, Ryan was exactly what we had hoped for - he seamlessly executed our special requests beforehand and took requests from our guests all night long. My husband and I had a very specific vision in mind for the music, and Ryan brought it to life perfectly. My guests raved about him. I cannot recommend Ryan Shephard enough - he was truly amazing and played a big part in making our wedding day so special.

I believe you can't stand behind your business unless you can say you fully understand it – and 24 years of marriage is proof that I KNOW LOVE. I set out to capture the essence of love when I started Parker Photography in 2018. I have been married to my best friend for the last 24 years, and people who meet us swear we are newlyweds. We still act like lovestruck teenagers with each other, that same feeling we get from every newly engaged couple that we meet. We know where our couples are coming from and what they hope to capture in their engagement sessions and on their wedding day, and we make it effortless for them to achieve their goals.

I work in the renewable energy sector, but photography is my passion. In addition to photographing weddings and portraits, I do landscape and wildlife photography. I love to see people inspired to get outdoors, explore and have adventures because they have seen my photographs. My wishes are to inspire YOU and capture photographs that describe you.

It was a pleasure to work with Cassandra for our wedding. Her communication style was flexible and she always answered our questions promptly. The quality of her work was outstanding - she was professional and flexible throughout the process. Cassandra was calm, patience, and made us feel comfortable in front of the camera, even though our engagement session was our first professional photo shoot together. She was amazing at capturing the special moments of our wedding day, and we loved the amazing engagement and wedding photos she delivered, which arrived earlier than expected.
