Whimsical Styled Wedding Shoot in Kansas City | Kansas City Wedding Photographer

Wedding Photographer in Kansas City

Yesterday, I shared some photographs from my time in Avent Orangery attending Mariam Saifan’s wedding photography workshop in Kansas City. And today? I’m sharing more! I love photographing weddings in Kansas City and attending this workshop was so fun. Loved seeing a new (to me!) space, loved all the florals, loved the vibe, and loved meeting so many great Kansas City wedding photographers, too!

And with that? I have a little announcement!

Going forward, I plan to take (way) less travel shoots + weddings and focus on Northwest Arkansas and cities closer to home. If you’re looking for a colorful wedding photographer in Kansas City, Tulsa, Little Rock, Dallas, or St. Louis, I’m your girl! I’ll be consolidating most of my travel work to those areas with a fairly heavy focus on the Kansas City area. I grew up there, have family there, and being there just feels like a second home. Cannot wait to be up there more for some seriously gorgeous weddings and photos, too! I’m not totally ditching traveling but I do want to keep my wedding work a little closer to home – think within driving distance, not flying. The past couple of years have come with so many changes and I’m so excited for this one!

Let’s get to those photos!
