Hallie Sigwing Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,000
  • Serves Smithville, MO

My work is focused on creating the kind of photos that will remind you of exactly how it felt to be in that room again when you pull out your wedding album in 50 years. I understand that your wedding is about so much more than just the photos - it’s the only day that all of these people will be under one roof.

Working with Hallie on our wedding day was the best decision we made (outside of marrying each other, of course). Photographs have always been important to me because they let you feel the memories of important moments long after the moment has passed. And that is exactly what Hallie has given to us. When I look at the photos from that June day, I can feel the excitement, the nervousness, the joy, and the love that filled that day to the brim. She captures the photos that you know from the get go that you want--the first look, the family portraits, the dance; but Hallie's magic comes from bearing witness to the small moments and details throughout the day that otherwise easily slip from memory. Our home is filled with these photos of my grandparents smiling as they watch the happiness in the room, my parents on the dancefloor, the details of our outfits, and the small looks that we gave each other throughout the day. Aside from the photos, Hallie is incredible to work with and couldn't have made our day easier on us, especially as people who get squirrely in front of a camera. She takes the time to get to know you, does exactly what she says she is going to, and is also just incredibly fun to be around. Now that we have become continued clients of Hallie, our home is a gallery of her work. I can't thank her enough for the beautiful memories that she has given us or recommend her more to others. She also bakes a mean pie and sings some lovely tunes.

So here's the deal: I want these pics to totally capture your vibe, become your cherished gems, and hey, maybe even cause a little internet frenzy when you pop them online ;) It's all about how that moment really played out in front of my lens, from your outfit choice to the morning-after excitement when I send you those sneak peeks. It's about sharing those moments proudly with your loved ones, and even a decade down the line, showing your adorable mini you's just how head-over-heels and seriously awesome their parents were "back in the day."

I'm Heather, a Kansas City area based photographer. I am passionate about capturing weddings and so honored to be a part of couples' important day. I started my photography business in 2011 and weddings have grown to become a huge part of that with dozens per year. My favorite part of shooting weddings is getting to know the couple and witnessing the love they have for each other as they enjoy their beautiful day.

Heather Neal Photography was an amazing choice for our wedding photographer. Her communication was thorough and excellent throughout the entire process. The quality of her work was truly breathtaking - she captured every moment in a way that exceeded all of my dreams. Heather goes above and beyond, demonstrating her deep knowledge and expertise in wedding photography. She captured so many special moments that I wouldn't have even thought to document, and I am forever grateful for the incredible photos that will allow us to relive our wedding day. Words cannot describe how happy we are with the work Heather Neal Photography.

Hi, I’m Erin and I love telling stories. I'm Midwest based, Kansas City to be specific, but I'm a Michigan girl at heart and love to travel! My favorite way to share the world through my eyes is from behind a camera lens. Your story is beautiful, and worth sharing.

Erin was everything we were looking for!! I knew her style was perfect for us. From initial communication she was there to answer any questions during the whole process, even when I had a list of general wedding questions not related to photography! Erin made us feel very comfortable with our engagement pictures. She knew all the right poses and places to shoot! She also helped us keep our big day in line with a timeline of events which was so helpful. Erin made sure she captured any specific pictures we wanted as well. My entire family complimented her personality and ease of the process (multiple times too!). We had sneak peeks the same night of our wedding. Our pictures came back faster than expected and they were absolutely stunning. Every single one. You cannot go wrong with choosing Erin to capture your special day!!!

We're a husband and wife wedding photography duo! We love meeting new couples and providing a service that will have you looking back at your images years from now and still have you feeling those emotions you felt on your wedding day.

I had my session done by Debra and I felt so comfortable around her! At first, I was super nervous about how to pose and she told me what to do and I felt comfortable after that. I enjoyed every bit of the session and she gave me the edited photos within 3 days max which is awesome! I love the photos and the way she makes you feel beautiful on your special day! :) I highly recommend her for any kind of shoot that you have!

Max Grubb Weddings

  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves Smithville, MO

I walk through my life with an eye for light, stories, and emotion. I have been photographing weddings for just shy of a decade now and can say that the people, places, and stories I have witnessed have shaped me. The friends I have made along the way I continually try to invest in them and their families. I am excited that you are here and that you are interested in having me join this journey with you. If you are fired up for your wedding day, love life a little too much, and think we could be friends go ahead and send an inquiry. Let me tell your story in an intimate way that reflects who you both are together.

Max is phenomenal, not only as a photographer but as a human as well! We moved from Colorado to Arkansas shortly after getting engaged, and because we had already selected a wedding venue in Colorado, our plan was to hire Max for engagement photos in Arkansas only and go with a CO-based photographer for the wedding. After meeting Max and hearing his story, we knew we were going to forgo our original plan and hire him for both sets of photos. Our engagement shoot was so much fun, and my husband and I both felt comfortable the entire time (which is rare for us, we're awkward people!). We knew once we got our engagement photos back that hiring Max for our wedding was the right choice, and man did he prove us right! The second he arrived at our venue on wedding day, he fit right in and made everything feel fun instead of stressful. Our family, friends, and guests are still raving about how much they loved our photographer because he was a joy to talk with and brought such a positive energy to the event. My parents even commented that Max felt like family because he made everyone feel comfortable and truly brought out the joy in everyone while we did family photos. The photos we have received back so far are outstanding - Max has a great eye and his use of light is exactly what we wanted. We are forever grateful that he was willing to travel across the country to document our day.

Homeschoolin, Home birthin, and Holistic mama that loves to capture Life and Love in it's truest moments and forms. My business has been a decade in the making from falling in love with photography in high school, to now... My love for Milkweed and my time spent living in Iowa has inspired my business name. I used to live near a conservation center with fields of milkweed. My children and I spent many days enjoying this haven of beauty and were blessed to see thousands of Monarch butterflies migrate to the Milkweed. I realize how fleeting these moments are and would love to capture your story!

So easy to work with and professional! My labor went very quickly so photos were in the immediate postpartum. I love how each detail was captured so intimately to tell the story, so I can look back on those moments. She respected the environment and helped in any way to make sure I felt cared for-above and beyond being a photographer. We also did some newborn/family photos a few days later and she was very patient with my full of energy toddler, all while capturing the sweet details of our newborn. All of the photos are beautiful!! When I asked for a few edits to the gallery it was done and updated for me quickly.

Shawnee was an unbelievable photographer and such a special part of our wedding weekend. From the moment we reached out to her to getting our pictures, she has been incredibly communicative, easy to work with, and deeply kind. She made us feel so at ease and taken care of at our Rehearsal Dinner and on our wedding day. She not only allowed us to be our fullest selves but also encouraged capturing us in ways that felt authentic and not stuck in expected wedding photos or gender roles. She captured our guests so beautifully too, particularly the kids who were in our wedding. Everyone's personalities shone through so wonderfully and the picture are absolutely stunning. We cannot believe how many and how incredible each and every photo is. We cannot recommend Shawnee enough!

Hi! My name is Angi Landis. I received my Bachelor of Science Degree, in Photography, from the University of Central Missouri..... years ago. Angi’s Art became a reality in 2004, and I have had fun photographing wonderful moments ever since. Weddings are my absolute favorite!!

If you put thought into it, I want to artistically document it for you.

I love the energy Angi puts off! She was amazing, she made us feel comfortable and gave us positive energy! She was so funny and made the day special for us! Her photos are absolutely amazing. She also is a great “wedding planner” she kept our day on track, well really ahead of time giving us extra time to walk around and talk with friends and family!

Hello there sweet friend! My name is Taylor Chmill and I’m a photographer based in Milwaukee, WI! Most people call me TK and know me as the girl who loves summer camp and has alllll the freckles! I'm outgoing with a bubbly personality and I can't wait to learn how I can serve you best on your beautiful wedding day!

I was first drawn to Taylor’s style of photography - bright and cheerful. After we met with her, it was clear her personality matched. She is clearly very organized and can sweetly but firmly command the room. She also helped us so much with planning (and replanning!) the schedule for both our small wedding ceremony in 2020 and big rescheduled wedding reception in 2021. She was always excited and open to small personal things I wanted to add. I cannot recommend her enough (and to back that up, my maid of honor also picked Taylor to photograph her wedding next year as well!)

They were very flexible with how the day went but still made sure to get all the key moments from different angles while being discreet. On top of being great photographers they are very sweet, respectful of boundaries for those they are photographing, and worked well with all the age groups at our wedding. All of our photos by them have been well complimented!

I'm down to earth, ready to invest, and ready to capture those important moments. My passions are the celebrations that are truly a representation of the couple I want to make art with you. I photograph every type of celebration no matter what size. I feel our style and method are suited for those who go against the grain and for those who desire authentic storytelling

Bulger Creative Co. provided much more than we expected for our wedding day. They were able to capture the raw moments that I will be able to look back at with my kids one day. They genuinely made my day stress free, they needed no direction and seamlessly adapted when plans changed. I was blown away when I received our wedding album. We received so many more photos than we expected and saw moments that we missed at our own wedding. They also created unique and creative styled photos that we requested, which turned out stunning. They became friends of ours by the end of our wedding day because of how personable they were. I would recommend them to anyone who wants beautiful and raw moments captured at their wedding.

Welcome! I'm Mariah! I first picked up a camera during a summer camp when I was only 10 years old. We were given a list of different objects to photograph around the building, and I fell in love with capturing the uniqueness of things as they were. Objects that were easily overlooked suddenly became exciting thanks to a photograph. I quickly began begging my parents for photography equipment and was gifted my first camera that Christmas. Fast forward 16 years, and I am embarking on a new career, doing what I am most passionate about...capturing, creating, and bringing memories - your memories - to life.

Where do we even start? From the planning process to wedding day and post-wedding, Mariah was our absolute best decision when it came to selecting a vendor. Mariah was helpful and communicative during the planning process, especially with our questions about timeline. On wedding day, Mariah was a busy bee capturing behind the scenes photos, photos of our guests, and us. We decided to do a first look off-site and Mariah captured the raw emotion that we both felt in that moment. I don't know how she did it! As for the photos, we provided Mariah with a shot list, but gave her creative freedom and she did not disappoint. We received the sneak peek within 24-48 hours and the full photo gallery within 4-6 weeks. On a personal note, Mariah is an absolute gem of a human. We felt so comfortable and natural with her, which can sometimes be difficult in front of a camera. She is a complete goofball and will keep both you and your party laughing. BOOK HER IMMEDIATELY!

We "Double Dog Dare" you to find a photographer that is more fun than us. Finding a cheap photographer is easy. Finding a great photographer is a little bit harder. Finding an awesome photographer that works within your budget but still gets you the $10K shot of the day... now that's hard. We want you to shop around and certainly take the time to talk to multiple photographers. We may not be the one and that's OK. After the party's over, the food is forgotten, the flower's fade, and the dress is cleaned and stored, you have your pictures. Why chance a $500 photographer with your memories?

I've been in the DJ business for over 25 years, and my DJ company Porta Party DJs has worked thousands of weddings. Mirage Photo consistently stands out head and shoulders above all other photography companies for three simple reasons: 1. They are fun 2. They are professional 3. They provide an incredible product. Many photographers are notorious for being too pushy/controlling when trying to get photos done. Although there sometimes can be a need for that, Mirage Photo earns the respect of their clients (and wedding party) up front so there's no need for lots of drama and stress. Their easy-going attitude and fun demeanor are why we always recommend Mirage Photo any and all of our clients who are looking for a professional photographer. If they are available and within your budget, you need to book them ASAP.

Hey Tay

  • Serves Smithville, MO

When I was looking for my own wedding vendors, it was important to me that I find people with similar world views that fit into my budget and were behind how laid back my vision for my wedding was. I am here to advocate for you. What that really looks like is you telling me you want something and me saying "treat yo self". I want to help you capture memories of your day the exact way you want it to share with your family, your friends, & yourself for years and years to come. So, if you're down to hop on that dance floor with me and feel how effortless it is to be 100% yourself in front of the camera, hit me up. I'm excited to meet you.

For our photography we used Hey Tay Photography. I have struggled with writing these vendor reviews because I cannot even begin to describe just how incredible my experience with Tay has been. I knew from the jump that I wanted Tay to do our photos for the wedding. For starters I have been in front of Tay’s camera multiple times and am continuously in amazement with the work that she produces, the way she makes you feel, and the energy that she brings every single time. She did our engagement session out in downtown Kansas City and watching her creative wheels turn as she found the perfect places and perfect views was so much fun! She then came and did our wedding. Her eye for details is unmatched and it shows in her stunning work. We received our sneak peaks within days of the wedding, and received our entire album less than two months after the wedding. Tay is phenomenal and her work is even better! She is incredibly professional and organized and rides hard for her clients. At one point something was bothering me on our wedding day and I mentioned it and the first thing she said was, “do you want me to take care of it”. She is enthusiastic, sincere, encouraging, and arguably one of the best wedding photographers in Kansas City. I truly could sing her praises all day, but will spare you. HIRE HER!
