Hey there, I’m Bailey, the face behind B&B Photography. Now 29, 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.

Awarded Best of Zola
B&B Photography LLC was an incredible choice for our wedding photography. From the start, the communication with Bailey was fast, easy, and incredibly helpful. She was available to answer our questions and provide guidance throughout the planning process. Her questionnaire before the wedding was really essential in helping us plan group shots and decide on what pictures were essential vs not important for us. On our wedding day, Bailey went above and beyond, not only capturing all of our most important moments with beautiful, high-quality photos, but also acting as a "wedding superhuman" - she communicated with the ceremony venue and helped us with so many little details to ensure our day ran smoothly. The final photos were absolutely stunning and the value was incredibly reasonable! We are thrilled with the work of B&B Photography and would highly recommend to any couple looking for an exceptional photography experience. We loved her so much that my sister booked her for her fall wedding as well!

I'm a traveling wedding & elopement photographer based in Kansas City. My roots are in the midwest but I'm often on the move. I strive to photograph those who are madly in love. The non-traditional. Adventurous. Simple at heart. Your story is so worth capturing and being told. I love what I do because I get to document connection and creation all over the world. Small moments, big ones, they all matter to me. I get to be there for all of it and I think that's pretty dang cool. My mission is to make timeless, emotion-filled, storytelling images all for glory of Jesus.

Awarded Best of Zola
TJ was my wedding photographer and he was truly perfect. His style is very candid and natural, which is exactly what we were hoping for. He made my husband and I feel so comfortable and confident and captured so many special moments that we didn't even realize he was photographing! He blended in so perfectly and made sure photos were a priority without hindering anyone's experience, including my husband and I's. I am so, so grateful we hired him for our day and will add photos to this review so you can see for yourself just how talented he is! Would recommend for couples in Kansas City and beyond!

A Little About Me I’ve spent the past 12 years working in digital photography, film, and television. I’ve traveled across the country contributing to everything from commercial photoshoots and TV shows to full-length feature films. While my primary focus for the past seven years has been in television and film, I’ve never set down my still camera. Throughout that time, I’ve continued to pursue my passion for portrait and automotive photography. Now, I’m excited to return to the medium that first inspired me: wedding photography.

Working with No Limit Grip LLC for our wedding photography was a truly outstanding experience. Chris and his team were incredibly clear and direct in their communication, which put us at ease throughout the entire process. Their work was innovative and of the highest quality, capturing all of the special moments we wanted - and even some we didn't realize we needed. Chris made sure to get photos of the little details, like the kids playing and my bridesmaids' happy tears, that we'll treasure forever. In fact, I loved working with him so much that I tried to book him for every event! No Limit Grip LLC's professionalism, creativity, and long-lasting photo quality made them the perfect choice for our wedding day.

I believe that photography should be more than just a following social media trends or taking a quick photo for your profile picture. Photography to me is an artform and something close to magic. My goal with every couple is to create photos that act like a portal back in time to that moment. I want to capture your day so timelessly and authentically that you can feel the way your partner looked at you, feel the chills that you got from the words spoken to each other during your vows, and get those excited goosebumps all over again.

When looking into a photographer for my engagement photos I was so nervous due to lack of exposure being in front of a camera. Both my fiancée and I had an AMAZINGLY comfortable time with Stephanie. Not only did she listen to EXACTLY what we wanted, she found an amazing venue for us to capture them. We spent one of the hottest days frolicking around KC’s botanical gardens capturing some nature shots. Stephanie guided us through all of the photos and posing effortlessly, making sure to capture all the shots we wanted. She was even amazing with keeping all of our personal items together while we posed. I HIGHLY recommend choosing this company for any photo needs. I’m sure you won’t be disappointed!!

Deanna Johnson Photography

  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves Independence, MO

Taking the photo is only a fraction of my job. I’m the cheerleader, usher, keeper of the timeline, and stealth ninja anticipating what’s coming next. After 10 years and more than 200 weddings, I’ve learned a trick or two about how to navigate the unique challenges of a wedding day. I’ve learned that planning for the inevitable means getting to enjoy the unexpected. I’ve learned when to take center stage and be the conductor to ensure that your must-have shots are checked off that list. But, I’ve also learned when to be still and wait for the relationships surrounding you to show their beautiful touches of joy that long to be captured.

Deanna did a phenomenal job photographing our wedding at Melrose Abbey in October 2025. Photos were very important to us and every time we look back through them, we get to relive the day and the beautiful moments. The engagement photo session was a great time to learn what angles and poses we liked about each other, gave feedback to Deanna of what we liked, and the results from the wedding allowed us to have too many good photos to choose from. I also opted to participate in a bridal portrait session which is very common in the South (I'm from Texas). I had so much fun with Deanna at the bridal portrait session taking all the photos I wanted in my dress ahead of the big day. I was able to coordinate trial hair and make-up, mock-up bouquet, and trial run dress and accessories. The bridal portraits enabled me to relax and enjoy all the bridal party and family portraits on actual wedding day. Deanna has such a beautiful vision for photography with both her regular camera and film, she has such a positive attitude and does a great job of coaching but allowing your personality to shine through. We also opted for a 2nd photographer to capture all the moments and Deanna did a great job selecting Chris who took some amazing photos and was fun to work with too. Deanna helped us plan out the wedding day schedule and shared some of her favorite outside photo spots to take the bridal party. She was super responsive and was even scoping out the spots as the day came closer to let us know that the photo spot we had selected was partitioned off for a concert and we were able to pick a new spot about a week ahead of the wedding. She did a great job communicating with our other vendors and we were incredibly thrilled with all keepsake photos we will treasure for the rest of our lives. Thank you for so beautifully capturing Nick and I on our very special day! We would highly recommend Deanna for any photo occasion!

Hallie Sigwing Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,000
  • Serves Independence, 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.

Hi, I’m Morgan, but you can call me Morgs. I’m a Kansas City wedding and elopement photographer specializing in romantic, story-driven photography for couples who value connection and authenticity. With a background in psychology, I focus on capturing how your wedding day feels, not just how it looks. My husband and I eloped ourselves, so we have a soft spot for intimate weddings, courthouse ceremonies, and destination elopements. My work is nostalgic, intentional, and centered on real, emotional moments.

Morgs and Sam were amazing. They had such great energy and felt like part of the family, making the photo process more fun than awkward. The quality of their work is top-notch and we're thrilled with how the photos turned out. We couldn't recommend MorgsBehindTheCamera more highly for any couple looking for wedding photographers who will make you feel comfortable in your own skin!

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 wonderful from the first chat we had with her. She made everything from our engagement session to check ins before the big day, to all aspects of wedding photography have such ease. We feel so fortunate to have found her, especially as a queer couple and the industry being filled with "bride and groom" talk, she didn't skip a beat at making us both feel special as the brides.

I love photography because every shoot and every couple, family, or person is different. I want to make the process of getting photos taken as easy and fun as possible. I love that I am able to honor God with the skills, abilities and gifts He's given me to not only make a living, but to empower and encourage others, and to help other businesses and non-profits grow and thrive. I personally thrive on discovering beauty in every person and relationship and capturing that moment in time. I don't care to be trendy. I want to capture YOU as you are RIGHT NOW. Let's connect! Feel free to inquire off Zola on my website's inquiry form!

When I began searching for a wedding photographer, I made a giant spreadsheet of local photogs. (I really wanted to find the perfect person to capture our day!!!) I compared their photography style, experience, and price. I wanted someone who took vibrant documentary photos that were timeless and not trendy. Someone who was a joy to be around and had the experience to back it up — someone who actually studied photography at school was my dream, not someone who picked up a camera as a hobby. And someone who included a second photog in the price package in my budget. Aubrey checked every box and then some. Hands down the best decision to hire her. Bonus points: She does pet photography, too!!!

Hey Tay

  • Serves Independence, 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!

I present fun, elegant, and exciting Wedding Photography for my clients. My style is photojournalistic; I feel it's the most effective way to tell a story. After all, there is so much happening on a wedding day. Between the ceremony, dancing, and endless extravaganzas, the most memorable moments will naturally occur.  My goal is to capture the emotions and memories of your day through my lens. These recollections are your forever keepsakes, a chapter of your life's story. Every image accounts for those who were by your side, delighted for you, and the next step in your journey. I appreciate you for giving me a few moments of your time.t

My husband and I were from out of town and hired Sean to photograph us at a Christmas gala at the place we got married. He was accommodating to last minute changes to make the most of the session and even went above and beyond to make it happen. Upon first impression, he was upbeat and had a vision. We were outside in sub 30 degree weather with fading evening light as well as low light inside a building and he was up for the challenge. We ended up with beautiful images in less than ideal conditions and that is what makes a great photographer. Sean has a sense of humor and an eye for that perfect photograph. He was fun to work with and his heart for people and creativity shows through. Thank you Sean for capturing this time in our lives.

I’m based in North Georgia, but always happy to travel wherever the love (and the good vibes) take me...

If you’re loving my work and feel like we might be the right fit, I’d love to connect! I take on a limited number of weddings each year so I can really get to know my couples. You’re not just another booking to me.. I truly care about creating a connection, capturing your story, and hopefully becoming friends along the way (besties if we’re lucky!!

Bohemewinterphotography was absolutely perfect for our surprise engagement photo shoot. From the very beginning, Ivanna coordinated seamlessly with my fiancé to plan and execute the surprise proposal—and she captured the exact moment he asked and I said “yes.” She even flew from Georgia to Florida to be there for us, which speaks volumes about her dedication and professionalism. Her communication was quick, reliable, and incredibly thoughtful, making the entire process stress-free (even with all the secrecy involved!). She went above and beyond by scouting local locations in person to find the perfect backdrop, ensuring every detail was just right. The photos are stunning—professional, creative, and full of emotion. She didn’t just take pictures; she captured a once-in-a-lifetime moment that we will cherish forever. The experience was seamless, joyful, and truly memorable. If you’re looking for a photographer who is detail-oriented, trustworthy, and genuinely invested in telling your story, Bohemewinterphotography is the one. We couldn’t be happier.

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I were beyond impressed with our entire experience with Debra Aslanidis Photography. From start to finish Debra made my experience as a bride so smooth and stress-free. Wedding planning can be a stressful process, but Debra provided excellent communication about what to expect leading up to the wedding and the day of, so we felt very at ease the entire time. When I ran into an unrelated issue (a problem with another vendor), Debra reached out and sent me recommendations and offered support while I dealt with the situation. It was unbelievably kind and not at all expected, but it really made me feel cared for and I appreciated Debra going above and beyond for me! On the day of our wedding, Debra and her partner Jeremy were absolutely phenomenal. For one, they worked so perfectly together. We had guests complimenting how well they worked and coordinated together! I seriously can’t thank them enough for not only being amazing photographers, but also helping with other tasks that they voluntarily did. I seriously felt like they assumed the role of our wedding coordinators at times, since we didn’t have one, by providing suggestions and opinions since they’re the experienced ones when it comes to weddings! I couldn’t be more thankful for their confidence and comfortability in doing so! Finally, I am seriously blown away by the fact that we got our photos about a month after our wedding day! Debra has worked weddings, engagement shoots, and other photoshoots every single weekend and has a family, yet still managed to bust her butt to finish our photos, and it was the best surprise to get our photos back right before celebrating one month of marriage. I am so in love with our photos and have looked at them every single day, multiple times a day, since getting them back. Photos are the one thing you keep from your wedding day (besides your memories!), and I am absolutely in love with the final photos! The editing is beautiful, and I’m so happy we prioritized finding a photographer who emphasizes the behind-the-scenes and candid moments. I love that our pictures are 100% in the moment and capture the real, raw emotions of everyone! There were several detailed shots of our venue and decor and I love those just as much as I love the ones of me, my husband, our families, and our friends! They’re all so stunning!! Our photos made me laugh, cry, audibly say “awww,” and smile the biggest, cheesy grin. I absolutely believe your photographer is one of the most important vendors you choose for your wedding day, and I would 1000% recommend Debra Aslanidis Photography to everyone I know!!

My company is Southeast based, but absolutely not glued here. I’ve photographed love stories all over the U.S.—NYC, Denver, Vegas, NOLA, Savannah, etc.

Jennifer was such a dream to work with, and I’m so happy we hired her as our wedding photographer. She and her second were so sweet and worked so hard on our wedding day to capture everything. She was very professional and easy to communicate with and the photos are beautiful. So many things went wrong on our wedding day, and she and her second were so helpful and kind. They really went above and beyond to smooth things out. Thank you so much, ladies! I would wholeheartedly recommend them to a friend.

Hi! My name is Mae, and I live in Brooklyn with my girlfriend, our two dogs Apollo and Bia, her cat Gigi and my lizard, Basil! I’ve always been passionate about capturing moments as authentically and magically as possible, and as i’ve settled more into this career path, I love that i’ve landed in a place where I have the privilege to capture and preserve people’s love stories. Weddings and elopements are so distinctly and uniquely human, and it’s truly the biggest honor to be trusted to document them.

We had a great experience with Mae! She made us feel so comfortable throughout the whole shoot and made sure we got a bunch of great photos in some gorgeous locations. Post-shoot she put in so much effort editing our photos to make sure they were perfect once they were turned around to us which didn't take long at all. Highly highly recommend Mae for any photoshoot needs you might have!
