We definitely recommend OLAS. Our favorite photos from the day were our fun wedding party pictures! Everything was explained clearly during the planning process and we wouldn’t change anything from the day. We received our wedding day photo gallery promptly at the time we were expected and it was a good surprise on our honeymoon.

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

I have always felt uncomfortable in front of a camera and because of this I was so nervous of how they would come out. Well let me tell you….they came out STUNNING. Mike and Joseph from Ledd made both of us feel so comfortable and actually made it enjoyable. They were so creative with ideas to get amazing shots, including a really cool long exposure to capture the nighttime sky. I couldn’t have asked for a better team or more beautiful photos.

Heather and Andrew are just the best! Their communication is quick, clear and detailed. Heather makes sure to cover all bases and offers so many helpfully tips which is so nice when you have so many other things going on. We used them for our engagement photos and they were able to make a trip back out to us after we had to reschedule due to weather. The turnaround time for those photos was great and the quality of work was not compromised by how quickly we got them. For our wedding day they were able to catch all the best moments without making the day feel like it was all about photos. Both of their personalities are so kind and welcoming that they made everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera. We had so much fun with them and I would highly recommend working with them for your big day.

Marissa was amazing every step of the way. She helped to narrow down an elopement location base off of our wants. She also came up with a detailed schedule for the whole time spent with her, and options to choose from base off the location we picked! Due to weather, I had a freak out a couple days before the elopement. When I emailed her about my concerns, she responded within 15 minutes reassuring me she was making a back up plan and emailed a new detailed schedule with options within a few hours! And the pictures?! Phenomenal! Everything I could have hoped for!

Hey there! My name is Evan and I am a wedding photographer with over 10 years experience in the industry! I describe my style as photojournalistic, candid, cinematic with true to life dramatic tones. I aim to be the laid back calming presence that you want in a vendor, while also being someone who takes the reigns as a trusted professional that keeps you organized and on time. I have a vast level of experience in many shooting situations (tons of venues, inclement weather, tricky lighting, and other surprises - you name it!) I treasure the relationships I get to foster with my clients. Documenting for you is my honor - lets connect!

Awarded Best of Zola
I could not recommend Evan enough!! She has been taking photos for our family for over 10 years. She’s taken photos of our family’s high school graduation, weddings, anniversary’s, and family photos. She’s more than a photographer, she's a genuine human telling a story of life. She makes anyone feel comfortable behind a camera (my husband HATED photos being taken of him and was so skeptical of having her take photos of us. When we left our first session with Evan I asked how he felt, He told me he will never have photos taken with anyone else. He never felt like he was on camera but just with me in a new space! A HUGE win for us!!) She really makes you feel like you’re a family in motion rather than subjects to her camera. She’s always prompt in delivering a gallery and always makes sure we like them! (We have never ever been disappointed in 1 photo). She’s so calm and enjoyable to work with. Her attitude and energy are what make her the best human to photograph a life in front of her. Thank you Evan, for capturing the moments that matter the most to us and for being our forever family photographer. We will continue to value the memories you’ve give us forever.

Wedding Photojournalism by Roman

  • Starts at $2,500
  • Serves Wellington, MO

I spent 10 years as a photojournalist covering news, sports, and political campaigns, and for the past 25 years I’ve photographed weddings with the same calm, observant approach. That experience taught me how to anticipate moments, work quickly in changing light, and capture genuine emotion without getting in the way. I focus on the natural moments as they unfold, keep portraits relaxed with gentle direction, and make family photos organized and efficient so they do not take you away from your wedding for long.

My wife and I used Roman Photography's services for our wedding in 2015 - we absolutely adore the the photos. Our fun and family were captured beautifully. We loved the work so much, we contacted Roman again ten years later to do our anniversary photos. Roman came out and did another magnificent job. He kept things playful and light (we're both uncomfortable in front of the camera) but still professional. I can't recommend Roman Photography enough!

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!!

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.
