Kendal Banks Photography

  • Serves Smithville, MO

Hi, and congratulations on your engagement! I’m Kendal, a Kansas City wedding and elopement photographer capturing love stories across the Midwest (and beyond!). I work with couples who do things their own way—the cool, the quirky, the beautifully real. Whether you’re planning a backyard wedding, a mountain top elopement, or a full on dance-floor blowout, I’ll blend artful portraits with honest storytelling to capture your day exactly as it feels.

Kendal beautiful captured our vision for engagement and wedding photos. She provided helpful tips for getting everything to run smoothly and captured a lot of special, fleeting moments. She’s great with people (for instance, did a great job putting our flower girls at ease). She planned out all the shots very well, while also improvising some really cool photos as the opportunities arose! We had a somewhat idiosyncratic wedding, and she was so down for it all! We’ll treasure these photos. If you’re looking for someone who is both wonderfully personable and highly professional, look no further. Highly, wholeheartedly recommended!

I’m a wedding photographer with a calm, relaxed approach, focused on capturing how your wedding day feels, not just how it looks. It should feel personal, supportive, and stress-free from the first conversation. Every wedding I photograph is fully customized from coverage hours to collections, allowing couples at a variety of budgets to feel supported without sacrificing care, quality, or intention. Planning an intimate or a full wedding, my goal is to create timeless images while helping you feel at ease & truly seen. If connection & meaningful matters to you, Lets chat. Memories are preserved for years to come.

KA Gordon Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding at Lola's barn in Glen Saint Mary, Florida. From the very beginning, their communication style was friendly, easy-going, helpful, and caring. They really helped us capture everything we wanted, and were incredibly timely and professional throughout the process. On the day of the wedding, they went above and beyond - helping to coordinate the timeline, posing us perfectly, and ensuring we felt comfortable and confident. I wouldn't choose anyone else if I could do it all over again. Their work is truly top-notch and we are so grateful for the beautiful memories they helped create for us.

  • Serves Smithville, MO

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.

  • Serves Smithville, MO

Welcome! I'm Matthew! I'm a lifestyle photographer specializing in wedding photography and family photography. In life, there are planned moments, unplanned moments, tears, laughter, excitement, and surprise. Photography should capture the essence of those moments. It’s my pleasure to take part in the lives of my clients and to make these moments into timeless, tangible treasures.

Matt is so talented and amazing to work with. He's become our family photographer, capturing our pivotal life moments. We first met Matt when he photographed my husband's proposal. Over the years, he's captured such joy during our engagement photoshoot, our wedding day, maternity shoots, and our son's first birthday. He even helped us capture treasured family photos with our daughter after she was stillborn. They're one of the few mementos we have of her. Matt truly gave us a gift in providing those memories with the photoshoot. He is a very talented photographer who's always open to trying out poses I see on Pinterest, but he's also phenomenal at capturing truly beautiful candid moments. He always brings such positive energy to our shoots and shares in our excitement during the shoot itself and the planning process. On top of being incredibly talented and kind, he's very flexible, great at communicating, and gets the end product back to us really quickly. With Matt as your photographer, you'll not only wind up with beautiful photos, but you'll also end up with memories to last a lifetime from the shoot itself. I know we have!

In a nutshell - I am your giddy third wheel! I’ll travel anywhere for a great love story, I believe photography should be FUN, and that it should feel like an adventure because really, it’s just us, going on a little adventure together! This is also a no pressure situation! You don’t have to know “how to pose” — this isn’t about posing at all! This is 100% about us 3 out and about together, having fun, laughing a ton, and me giving you guys prompts and direction all in the effort of eliciting a natural reaction!

I can't recommend Elizabeth Ladean Photography enough!! I've had the opportunity to work together personally and professionally many times over the years. She truly is the best in the business!! She is extremely talented as a photographer and has a knack for making you feel comfortable and at ease. She is responsive, organized, and proactive. I've worked with many wedding professionals; she has always stood out in the way she runs her business! When you work with Elizabeth you'll get gorgeous, timeless photos but also a memorable experience!! Highly recommend!!!

Ashely and her team were awesome to work with! I only worked with them during the ceremony for V M wedding on June 14, 2025. Her team was kind and very respectful when plugging into my equipment to record audio for the client's ceremony video. Ashley's charisma and charm definitely helped her to maneuver and make all of the couples family move efficiently from what my team and I were able to see when breaking down!

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.

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.
