Merriam, KS
  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,400

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.

Photography and Videography is such an investment, and we knew we made the right decision with Ivory Grove. The communication was phenomenal as well as the turn around that we received both our videos and pictures. Lindsey set us up with Jianna (p) and Brian (v). Both of them were so amazing, made sure we were comfortable, and ensured to capture what we wanted and what we felt was important.

There’s no need to search any further for a wedding coordinator: book Ally!! We booked Ally’s coordination package and got way more than our money’s worth. While we were just expecting to have her help on our actual wedding day, Ally was there for us from the day we booked her ready to answer any of our questions or address any of our concerns. To say that she knows what she’s doing is an understatement. She is professional, organized, and easy to work with. She made our actual wedding day run perfectly and we cannot recommended or thank her enough! Ally is THE best!

My husband and I got married in the Crossroads in April and had the most beautiful day thanks to Sofi! Without her we would not have had the day that we envisioned! Sofi did so much, she was in constant communication with vendors, flipped the ceremony space into a reception space, checked in on us throughout the day to see if we needed anything, and so much more! We cannot thank her enough for everything she did. Our wedding day was flawless because of her! I highly recommend Sofi to anyone looking for a kind and professional wedding planner or coordinator!

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.

From the very beginning, they were extremely responsive and attentive, always getting back to us quickly and addressing any questions or concerns we had. Their photography style is truly unique and creative, capturing beautiful, one-of-a-kind shots that we'll cherish forever. On the day of the wedding, Stevie's calm and easygoing presence was so appreciated - they helped keep us relaxed and focused on enjoying the moment, all while discreetly capturing all the special memories.

Caitlyn Cloud Photography 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Merriam, KS

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Caitlyn is amazing! She made the process incredibly easy as a bride that didn't really know where to start the planning process. When I booked my package, I was provided wedding planning materials, recommendations, a timeline template, etc. Throughout the year Caitlyn checked in to make sure things were going smoothly, asked lots of questions in advance to make the day of easier, and was amazing at making last minute changes! Overall, Caitlyn captured my day perfectly, caught so many memories with my friends and family that I didn't even realize were happening or important at the time that I now love!

Even though that paid the bills I have always had a passion for baking and decorating, and that seemlessly morphed into the love of cooking in general. I would get asked by friends and family to make things, or cater a party, that then become me decorating and/or planning the whole thing. I absolutely loved it but was scared to jump into a totally different line of work. My tribe would constantly tell me that I need to do this for a living because I have a gift!

As a planner, I experience and work at a lot of venues in Kansas City - Hawthorne House has it all! Indoor and outdoor ceremony options, a huge front porch and lawn to have an outdoor cocktail hour, and of course the Emerson Room which is absolutely breathtaking! The Bride & Groom had plenty of time and space to hang out and get ready in the morning in their large suites which is a big bonus!! Elizabeth was wonderful to work with throughout the planning process and the team on-site during the wedding were easy to communicate with and readily available if we needed anything. This venue is a must see - I can't wait to be back again soon!

Award winning Videographer team that specialize in the very best day of service. Telling your story of the entire day from start to finish with a Cinematic touch. Everything filmed in 4k with the ability to livestream.

We loved working with Chris from Chris C Productions for our wedding videography. Chris was extremely responsive in his communication, always texting back quickly whenever we had questions or requests. The quality of his work is truly amazing - he captured all the special moments of our wedding day beautifully. On the actual day, Chris went above and beyond. Not only was he willing to get any shot we wanted, he also helped ensure that our entire event flowed smoothly. He coordinated timing with our DJ when we had to make last-minute changes and kept everything running on time. Having Chris there made the hectic wedding day much less stressful for us. His professional yet friendly demeanor and spectacular videography work were invaluable contributions to our special day.

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.

White Iron Ridge Venue was the perfect location for our special day. The communication with the venue staff leading up to our wedding was very quick and efficient, which we greatly appreciated during the hectic planning process. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful, spacious, and magnificent - the perfect backdrop for our ceremony and reception. On the day-of, the staff worked diligently and carefully to flip the room from the ceremony set up to the reception decor in a very short period of time. All of the vendors were polite, professional, and eager to assist us in any way possible. We could not have asked for a better venue or team to host our wedding - everything was handled smoothly and the gorgeous mountain venue provided the ideal atmosphere to celebrate our marriage with friends and family.
