Noire Studios

  • Serves Independence, MO
  • Offer

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 LOVED having Noelle as our photographer! She was very sweet and her advice made the day go by with ease. And the pictures were all gorgeous!

  • Serves Independence, MO

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.

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 a professional wedding photographer in Wichita, KS & Beyond. I love what I do, so you'll always find me smiling and being silly while making you guys laugh. Choosing a wedding photographer is a huge deal. I go above & beyond for my clients because the last thing I want is for you to end up with photos that you don't love. My promise to you is to make sure I put the same care into taking your photos that I would want someone to do for me.

Saindy's bright personality and passion for what she does made her the obvious choice as our engagement and wedding photographer. She was always very responsive and accommodating, and even offered great wedding planning advice. Saindy made every shoot super fun and easy, ensuring everyone was relaxed and comfortable. The turnaround time for sneak peaks was quick and she made sure to keep us updated on when the final products would be finished. The photos we got from both our engagement shoot and wedding day were ABSOLUTELY STUNNING. Her vision for photography and editing make for vibrant and breathtaking shots. She also took the time to put together albums of our engagement and wedding photos. These turned out beautifully; we are so excited to show them to friends and family!

I love capturing people in their very human moments. Images that really resonate with me are those which capture the essence of a person, a relationship, or just raw emotion. I search to photograph moments in which people reveal who they really are. This drive affects everything I do. Weddings are a breeding ground for these types of moments and emotions. Honest love, friendship, and joy. This is why I have chosen to specialize in this type of photography, because it speaks to me in a way than nothing else does.

Jason "Snorlax" Cun is an all around photographer that currently resides in Los Angeles, California. He was raised in the heart of Los Angeles, where he found his calling in photography. He aims to capture the beauty of the world and the people in them. He has recently begun his travels around the U.S capturing the life of those within that city.

Jason was recommended to me by a family member, and to this day, I'm so grateful. Jason was so quick with communication. He responded and asked for details from the very beginning. He was easy to talk to. We ended up booking him for our engagement photos AND our wedding photos. Our engagement photo session was seamless. Jason was easy to work with and he made my (now) husband and I feel so comfortable. Photo sessions do NOT have to be awkward with Jason. He recommended the LA Arboretum and the Pasadena City Hall for our shoot and we couldn't have asked for any better location. Jason knew exactly where to go and what to do. When it came time for our wedding day, Jason and Mae (his second) were so nice. They did not rush us for any photoshoot. He had us take our time, take breathers, and helped us stress about one less thing during the day. We just got our photos back and they are downright GORGEOUS. I could not believe these were us. I am still amazed by it all. The turnover time was so quick as well. Again, communication was so easy with him. I HIGHLY recommend Jason as a photographer. We could not have asked for anyone better.

Welcome! I'm Matthew! I'm a lifestyle photographer specializing in wedding photography and family photography. In life, there are planned moments, unplanned moments, tears, laughter, excitement, and surprise. Photography should capture the essence of those moments. It’s my pleasure to take part in the lives of my clients and to make these moments into timeless, tangible treasures.

Matt is so talented and amazing to work with. He's become our family photographer, capturing our pivotal life moments. We first met Matt when he photographed my husband's proposal. Over the years, he's captured such joy during our engagement photoshoot, our wedding day, maternity shoots, and our son's first birthday. He even helped us capture treasured family photos with our daughter after she was stillborn. They're one of the few mementos we have of her. Matt truly gave us a gift in providing those memories with the photoshoot. He is a very talented photographer who's always open to trying out poses I see on Pinterest, but he's also phenomenal at capturing truly beautiful candid moments. He always brings such positive energy to our shoots and shares in our excitement during the shoot itself and the planning process. On top of being incredibly talented and kind, he's very flexible, great at communicating, and gets the end product back to us really quickly. With Matt as your photographer, you'll not only wind up with beautiful photos, but you'll also end up with memories to last a lifetime from the shoot itself. I know we have!
