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.

We’re Josh + Terri, a husband and wife photography team based in Kansas City. For more than 15 years we’ve been capturing weddings and love stories filled with light, emotion, and unforgettable moments. Married for 14 of those years ourselves, we know how meaningful it is to have photographs that truly reflect your story. What began with our own wedding has grown into a passion for creating timeless imagery with warmth and connection.

We have been with Husband and Wife Photography since 2015- and in that time done a total of 10 photo shoots. They have gone above and beyond each time and made my family and I feel so beautiful and capture a memory unlike anyone can. They’re very personable and have great communication, feedback, options, and are seriously so creative. We have trusted them with some of our most important moments- from wedding pictures to our son’s milestones. Best photographer ever!

Your photographer is your most important wedding vendor. It’s the only way to relive your big day once it’s done. Keshia photographed my sister’s wedding, and I knew I absolutely had to book her for mine. She not only captured gorgeous intimate moments that happened throughout the day, but she was professional, confident, and on-schedule when organizing bridal party and family photos. Truly, you are getting the full package when working with Keshia. My husband and I were able to spend more treasured one-on-one time together on our wedding day because of Keshia. Also, my wedding photos are some of the last photos I have of my mom, who passed away a few months after I was married, and I am so grateful that Keshia went above and beyond to capture so many beautiful documentary-style moments between my family that I will have forever.

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!! As a professional wedding photographer, I take the art of story telling seriously. From the first moments you see each other, to the small glances you give each other while holding hands… I want to show it all! From the wedding cake, to the smallest decoration…. 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! She made the day absolutely perfect and her photos were amazing!!

Morgan K Photography 

5.0

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $1,500
  • Serves Independence, MO

I started my business because I found something I am really good at, and I wouldn't mind doing for the rest of my life. Afterall, isn't that everyone's goal in life? Do what you love and love what you do and you'll never work a day in your life. My business itself started off and on for the first few years. Mostly due to babies. My babies are now toddlers, and I find my finger itching more and more as they grow to continue capturing every little step. I find it completely selfish to keep it all to myself and let's face it, my girls can only take so much of my camera following them around.

Morgan is my go to photographer! She is phenomenal at what she does and has captured the essence of my family many of times. She is wonderful, very respectful, punctual, patient, and professional! She is everything you could ever want in a photographer.

We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer for our wedding! From the very beginning, they were professional, warm, and attentive to every detail. On the day of the wedding, they made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera and managed to capture every special moment so beautifully—both the big highlights and the candid little in-between shots that mean so much. The photos are absolutely stunning !!! timeless, romantic, and filled with emotion. Every time we look at them, we’re transported right back to that day. Our friends and family can’t stop raving about how gorgeous the pictures turned out! Beyond their talent, what really stood out was how seamlessly they blended in with our guests while still capturing every angle.

I absolutely loved working with Cami! She took her time with our enaagement session and was verv open to all of my ideas and tried every single one! As well as adding her own spunk to my crazy ideas! I highly recommend her and her husband AO as they are a pleasure to work with. Very sweet people. I was even bouncing a few wedding dates and even thought of relcating my wedding to Gatlinburg and they were completely fine with going to Gatlinburg to shoot my wedding! They were very flexible with all of my questions and concerns! I'm always really worried about that after I sign the contract and pay money that things will change. Not with them! Cannot wait for our wedding session!

Awarded Best of Zola
We found Madison because she was an Alumni from same school, UCF, as me. We booked her to do an engagement shoot (an hour outside of Orlando) and our photos turned out absolutely amazing. From that one interaction with her, it really felt like we knew her our whole lives. She is super nice, personable, and made us feel very comfortable right away. She also had so much knowledge about the area, and any questions that we had regarding the shoot. She planned and timed everything out so that we could get photos at one location, and then sunset photos by the beach 30 min away. And then when we were looking for photographers for our wedding (in Philadelphia), it was a no-brainer that we wanted to book her again to capture our big day. She came halfway up the coast and played a large role in making our day perfect. We planned the photography from 1000 miles away, and she was really communicative and helpful about the picture planning, and also just wedding planning in general. We ran into a timing issue with how the day was going to work out before the ceremony, and she helped us navigate that, and she worked to keep us on track throughout the night for the different photos that we wanted. She knew what to do & what not to do in the Church. She also worked well alongside our videographer. Ultimately, we are very happy with our experience with Madison, and the wedding photos she took turned out absolutely amazing.

Hi, I’m Destiny, and photography is more than just a job—it’s a way of preserving the moments that matter most. Your wedding day is one of the most meaningful chapters of your life, and my goal is to capture it in a way that feels natural, timeless, and uniquely yours. I believe in the magic of real emotion—the joyful tears, the unplanned laughter, and the quiet in-between moments. If you’re looking for a photographer who feels more like a friend than someone behind the camera, I’d be honored to tell your love story through my lens.

Hands down my favorite photographer I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. She made us feel so comfortable and confident from start to finish. Her energy is contagious, her direction is effortless, and somehow she brings out your best self without you even realizing it. You’ll leave the session smiling bigger than when you showed up she’s just that good.
