  • Serves Independence, MO

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.

I'm just an Okie from Muskogee... Actually I and my business partners are from Tulsa, Oklahoma. Since 2010 We have been on a mission to tell your love story one wedding at a time. We pride ourselves on quality and customer service!

Justin and our second shooter (can’t remember his name!) were on top of photography throughout the whole day. They were discrete and also good at guidance and direction. We added a second shooter that was affordable and was open to helping with other things besides just the photography (fetched items for the groom). For the quality and quantity of photos we received, the price was very reasonable. They got a large amount of photos throughout the entire day. The one con was that the couples portraits seemed rushed, and we wish we had more time for that. Otherwise we had a fantastic day and would 100% trust them to capture our special memories again.

From the moment we first spoke with Jared, we knew his communication style would be a perfect fit for our wedding day. He was efficient, convenient, and thoroughly responsive to all of our questions and requests. The final photos and video Jared delivered were nothing short of stunning - unique, beautiful, and truly breathtaking. He captured so many meaningful moments that we'll cherish forever. Jared arrived early on our wedding day and worked seamlessly with our bridal party, who raved about how much they loved working with him. Our engagement photo shoots with Jared were also so much fun, and he gave us great direction when we needed it. Compared to other photographers we considered, Jared's services were very reasonably priced, yet his work was absolutely professional and high-quality. We definitely recommend Jared Countryman Productions to any couple looking for a talented, attentive, and truly gifted wedding photographer and videographer.

We believe wedding photography is more than taking pictures — it’s preserving emotions, connections, and once-in-a-lifetime moments. Every couple has a unique story, and we are passionate about capturing it in a way that feels authentic, elegant, and timeless. We understand how important your wedding day is. That’s why we focus on creating a relaxed, enjoyable experience while documenting real laughter, quiet in-between moments, joyful tears, and all the beautiful details you’ve spent months planning. Our goal is for you to look back at your photos and not just see the day — but feel it all over again.

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.
