Independence, MO
  • Videographer
  • Cinematic style
  • Starts at $2,500

Hey, my name is Jonathan; I am a Video Producer for The Kansas City Royals and a Wedding Videographer based in KC. As a wedding videographer, I get so excited every time I start shooting a new film because I can't wait to showcase the couple's personalities and make something they'll cherish forever. It's incredible how much the art of wedding films has evolved over the years. Every wedding has its own vibe and style, and I love translating that into an exciting, one-of-a-kind film the couple and their loved ones will adore.

Jonathon did an incredible job from the beginning! We booked him through Kelsey Diane Photography so our photographer and videographer knew each other well which made the day go so much smoother as they worked around each other and helped the other out. We got the video back just over two months after our wedding and loved every detail of it from the style, minimal editing and music choices and scenes he chose to use. He also worked with us very well when we had a Kansas City wedding but lived in Georgia and was always quick to respond to emails. I would highly recommend him to anyone! Amazing person.

Wild Rose Planning & Events 

5.0

  • Planner
  • Offers 4 services
  • Starts at $500
  • Serves Independence, MO

Wild Rose Planning & Events was established in 2021 by two wedding industry experts. Throughout our years in the industry, we felt there was a gap in the planning process, making it feel more like work than fun. We’re here to provide you with the experience you deserve — stress free, organized, and memorable!

Awarded Best of Zola
When my husband and I got engaged in May 2023, Wild Rose was the very first vendor I booked (I sent my inquiry the day after he proposed). As a venue owner with more than 5 years in the industry at the time, I knew that the most important, non-negotiable vendor would be our coordinator. I knew that I wanted the full planning aspect so that I could enjoy the process as a BRIDE, not from an industry or “work” perspective. Brenna and Molly had been so amazing to work with at the venue, I absolutely loved their product and knew I had to have them do my wedding. From day one they made me feel so confident in our choices, our to-do list felt like it was handled and I didn’t have to worry about a thing. They fully designed our day - stationary, florals, decor rentals, it was such a blast to have our check-in meetings on Zoom to SEE our design come together. They handled all of the vendor exchanges, including when we arrived to our venue in Costa Rica and it looked completely different than the pictures online so we ended up moving our ceremony site to our welcome party site with 24 hours to go! I’d be lying if I said I didn’t worry for a second, but I did worry - if only for a second. Truly Brenna and Molly said “we got this” and they handled it so easily. I was worried about packing two wedding dresses for international travel - Molly had me bring them and my suitcase to work and she herself packed them perfectly. When we got to Costa Rica they came to our villa to unpack and hang them safely. On my wedding day Molly steamed my veil and was actually the one to get me in my dress. They were also so incredibly understanding with everything I wanted to do to include my mother who passed away in 2021. I brought a necklace with cremation remains and they so lovingly tied it on my bouquet for me. They carried the portrait I had my now mother-in-law carry down the aisle around with them throughout the day like she was just hanging out with them. They even took the portrait back to their flat so mom was at their “after party.” Our 3 sons are the first to refer our friends and family that are wedding planning to “Miss Brenna and Molly” - they loved hanging out with them for the week we were together. Overall - I love Brenna and Molly enough to spend a year in meetings with them AND fly them to Costa Rica for a week, along with our 30 closest family and friends. Their care, attention to detail, and confidence continue to amaze me and Wild Rose will always and forever be the best thing I ever did for our wedding!

Awarded Best of Zola
It's been two months since our wedding day, and I still cannot get over how incredibly amazing and wonderful the team at Whatever is Lovely was for my husband and I throughout our entire experience. If you are in the Kansas City area or beyond (we were planning from Denver, Colorado) I cannot recommend this team enough. I would give them ten stars if I could. My coordinator Meranda was like a trusted friend, helpful sister, and wise-beyond-expectations consultant for everything. I had no worries or stresses on my big day thanks to she and Rachel being on site to do anything that was needed - even reading my mind and my mother's mind several times throughout the day. Because of this team our wedding day was prepared, organized, stress-free, and ENJOYABLE. I love being able to say that. Thank you, Meranda!

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!

Elizabeth, Kyle, and her team were amazing - from the first initial Zoom call all the way to picking up my wedding album and everything in between. The process is detailed, so that decisions are made prior to the big day, which helps to alleviate decisions on the day-of. Her photography is out of this world with the angles she finds and the moments she is able to capture. Kyle also has quite the eye for capturing clips throughout the day that make such a spectacular video. 10/10 recommend this duo and their team!!

I'm a traveling wedding & elopement photographer based in Kansas City. My roots are in the midwest but I'm often on the move. I strive to photograph those who are madly in love. The non-traditional. Adventurous. Simple at heart. Your story is so worth capturing and being told. I love what I do because I get to document connection and creation all over the world. Small moments, big ones, they all matter to me. I get to be there for all of it and I think that's pretty dang cool. My mission is to make timeless, emotion-filled, storytelling images all for glory of Jesus.

Awarded Best of Zola
Tj is talented, warm and genuine! Though his pictures speak for themselves, his fun-loving nature makes it an experience rather than checking off a task. He is so generous with his time, never seeming to be in a rush. He cared about our personal story and so obviously worked that into our pictures…it’s what made our wedding pics feel so much like us! Honestly, having a photographer that feels like a friend (& is one!) makes all the difference and we couldn’t recommend him more :) Also, he’s so organized & on top of all the details! That’s worth a lot on a wedding day.

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!

We had such an amazing wedding at The Oliver Building. Having the venue for the whole weekend made our weekend run so smoothly. We had our rehearsal Friday night, and brought everything over so we didn’t need to deal with it Saturday. Then got ready in the amazing upstairs suites Saturday morning. We had a great time, and Caitlin was so easy to work with! The only reason I took a star off is that we had some issues with the bar. We made it clear from the start that we wanted to prioritize the bar, and didn’t want long lines. Because of that, they said we would have 3 bartenders, and would batch some of our signature cocktails. Unfortunately, we only had two bartenders, despite giving tips for 3, and there were no cocktails batched. We did have a pretty long line at our bar most of the night because of this. All in all, it was an amazing venue for our wedding!!
