I'm Heather, a photographer who is passionate about capturing weddings and so honored to be a part of the special day of every client I work with! I started my photography business in 2011 and weddings have grown to become my specialty. I pride myself in not only delivering beautiful photos of your day, but also taking care of couples and sharing my knowledge to help with everything from the planning to making sure things go smoothly on the big day. My goal is to capture the organic memories of the day and to blend the photography into those memories rather than pull you away from them. I offer lots of extras to personalize your day too!

Heather Neal Photography was an amazing choice for our wedding photographer. Her communication was thorough and excellent throughout the entire process. The quality of her work was truly breathtaking - she captured every moment in a way that exceeded all of my dreams. Heather goes above and beyond, demonstrating her deep knowledge and expertise in wedding photography. She captured so many special moments that I wouldn't have even thought to document, and I am forever grateful for the incredible photos that will allow us to relive our wedding day.

I'm a professional wedding photographer in Wichita, KS & Beyond. I love what I do, so you'll always find me smiling and being silly while making you guys laugh. Choosing a wedding photographer is a huge deal. I go above & beyond for my clients because the last thing I want is for you to end up with photos that you don't love. My promise to you is to make sure I put the same care into taking your photos that I would want someone to do for me.

Saindy's bright personality and passion for what she does made her the obvious choice as our engagement and wedding photographer. She was always very responsive and accommodating, and even offered great wedding planning advice. Saindy made every shoot super fun and easy, ensuring everyone was relaxed and comfortable. The turnaround time for sneak peaks was quick and she made sure to keep us updated on when the final products would be finished. The photos we got from both our engagement shoot and wedding day were ABSOLUTELY STUNNING. Her vision for photography and editing make for vibrant and breathtaking shots. She also took the time to put together albums of our engagement and wedding photos. These turned out beautifully; we are so excited to show them to friends and family! We highly recommend Saindy Pyles Photography and we would definitely work with her again.

Everything about the experience was amazing. I was scared the day would fly by and I’d forget things, but now I have them forever in photos and video. The way they captured my first look with my husband made me sob, it was so beautiful. The reception photos are wild and fun, like you can feel the party energy just looking at them. They also caught so many sweet candid shots, like kids playing and grandparents smiling. The video is just WOW, the music and editing gave me goosebumps. They worked so hard but never made it stressful for us. I honestly couldn’t be happier with what we got.

Welcome! I am a Kansas City Lifestyle, Portrait, and Wedding Photographer. Growing up I always had an eye for anything artistic and loved being able to share my vision of the world. I was first introduced to photography in my senior year of high school and immediately knew that is what I wanted my career to be. I continued the venture through college and graduated from UMKC with a degree in photography. A little about Noire Studios: Where does the name Noire Studios come from? I mixed my first name and last name (maiden) together - NO (from Noelle) and IRE (from Ireland). Creating a business from a few things that capture ME!

Awarded Best of Zola
Our experience with Noire Studios was wonderful! The communication was prompt and professional from the beginning. Noelle guided us through each step and was very quick to respond to (ALL) my questions. Each image was exactly how we remembered the day and we can't wait to relive them through the years. We we're so glad to have found such an amazing photography team.

Mariah Selena Portraits

  • Serves Grain Valley, MO

Welcome! I'm Mariah! I first picked up a camera during a summer camp when I was only 10 years old. We were given a list of different objects to photograph around the building, and I fell in love with capturing the uniqueness of things as they were. Objects that were easily overlooked suddenly became exciting thanks to a photograph. I quickly began begging my parents for photography equipment and was gifted my first camera that Christmas. Fast forward 16 years, and I am embarking on a new career, doing what I am most passionate about...capturing, creating, and bringing memories - your memories - to life.

Where do we even start? From the planning process to wedding day and post-wedding, Mariah was our absolute best decision when it came to selecting a vendor. Mariah was helpful and communicative during the planning process, especially with our questions about timeline. On wedding day, Mariah was a busy bee capturing behind the scenes photos, photos of our guests, and us. We decided to do a first look off-site and Mariah captured the raw emotion that we both felt in that moment. I don't know how she did it! As for the photos, we provided Mariah with a shot list, but gave her creative freedom and she did not disappoint. We received the sneak peek within 24-48 hours and the full photo gallery within 4-6 weeks. On a personal note, Mariah is an absolute gem of a human. We felt so comfortable and natural with her, which can sometimes be difficult in front of a camera. She is a complete goofball and will keep both you and your party laughing. BOOK HER IMMEDIATELY!

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

From the moment they walked in, I felt like they were part of the wedding party. They were so kind and easy to talk to, which made being photographed feel natural. The bridesmaids’ shots came out gorgeous, especially the ones outside. The video caught so many fun moments of us dancing and being goofy, which was awesome to see. What impressed me was how quickly they adapted when we had last minute changes. I know my friend will cherish her photos, but I also feel lucky I have beautiful memories too.

He was very communicative, and he sent us our photos well before the deadline in our contract.

Hey!! Congratulations and I'm so excited you're here! My name's Lissa (pronounced "Lyss-uh") and photographs are my jam! Also my jam? Bright colors, the lamest jokes, floral everything, weird history, and awesome ghost stories. I'm a total mother hen / perpetual big sister and I'm mom to Max, Henry, and Penelope. I love creating. I garden. I sew. I crochet. I design ridiculously cute tee shirts. But most of all? I freaking love creating photographs. A professional photographer since 2011 (eek!), my photographs are bright, happy, and totally meant to hit you in the feels. But most of all? They're a total party!

Awarded Best of Zola
It was such a pleasure having Lissa as the photographer for our wedding. She has taken several photos for me and my family throughout the years, and each time the photos have always been exactly what we wanted. Her photos are vibrant, full of color, and full of feeling. Lissa was sure to respond quickly to contracts, questions, and provided information in a timely manner. She listened to our desires and concerns, and when needed she provided feedback that helped us feel more comfortable and excited to work with her. She is incredibly easy to work with her. She was flexible with any photo requests that came up in the moment, and she guided and directed us for other shots she felt would turn out well when we weren't sure what to do next. She was professional and courteous to all of our wedding guests and yet always made sure to prioritize our (the bride and groom) desires and time as opposed to the rest of our wedding party. She had a happy, yet focused disposition while working with us. That focus was evident in the BEAUTIFUL pictures she took. She perfectly captured our joy that day. Turnaround time was better than expected, and we couldn't be happier with the results. We have no regrets with our choice of wedding photographer. She's amazing!

I walk through my life with an eye for light, stories, and emotion. I have been photographing weddings for just shy of a decade now and can say that the people, places, and stories I have witnessed have shaped me. The friends I have made along the way I continually try to invest in them and their families. I am excited that you are here and that you are interested in having me join this journey with you. If you are fired up for your wedding day, love life a little too much, and think we could be friends go ahead and send an inquiry. Let me tell your story in an intimate way that reflects who you both are together.

Max is phenomenal, not only as a photographer but as a human as well! We moved from Colorado to Arkansas shortly after getting engaged, and because we had already selected a wedding venue in Colorado, our plan was to hire Max for engagement photos in Arkansas only and go with a CO-based photographer for the wedding. After meeting Max and hearing his story, we knew we were going to forgo our original plan and hire him for both sets of photos. Our engagement shoot was so much fun, and my husband and I both felt comfortable the entire time (which is rare for us, we're awkward people!). We knew once we got our engagement photos back that hiring Max for our wedding was the right choice, and man did he prove us right! The second he arrived at our venue on wedding day, he fit right in and made everything feel fun instead of stressful. Our family, friends, and guests are still raving about how much they loved our photographer because he was a joy to talk with and brought such a positive energy to the event. My parents even commented that Max felt like family because he made everyone feel comfortable and truly brought out the joy in everyone while we did family photos. The photos we have received back so far are outstanding - Max has a great eye and his use of light is exactly what we wanted. We are forever grateful that he was willing to travel across the country to document our day.

Awarded Best of Zola
When you elope in the middle of a pandemic, it matters all the more that you love your photographer--since they'll be the only other person at your wedding. :) And in short, we couldn't be happier that ours was Shawnee. She has such a gift and a love for the work she does—and it shows. We knew she was the right person from the moment we met on Zoom--she is warm and kind, asked all the right questions, and instantly put us at ease. My partner and I eloped at the end of October 2020 in DC, just before the election. It was a whirlwind moment for so many reasons, especially as a queer couple. And it mattered to us that the person who captured those treasured memories, really understood what that moment meant to us. Everyone who sees our photos marvels at how wonderful they are—and no doubt we look great, but Shawnee’s warmth and direction and stellar eye really made all the difference. Vibing with your photographer matters—we’re so grateful to have found one with such grace and as much love for her art as Shawnee. <3

I cannot recommend Sincerely Jules Studio enough!! She was truly the most amazing photographer, she is beyond talented and so patient! Jules made us feel so comfortable and captured all of the moments we asked. She is so organized and planned out each photo that we wanted. If you can book with her I promise you won't regret it!

Yvette Saddler Photography

I love weddings! I love how one single event can be done is so many unique ways to fit each couple and their story. My favorite things to capture during the day are the little details you incorporate to make the day truly yours. My approach is to capture emotion and as much candid interaction and love as possible on your big day while incorporating romantic and fun poses in between.

Yvette arrived early at the location without being asked to scope out spots for cute pictures, she was very kind, fun, and easy to work with. She did not even get the opportunity to meet us before the event, but she just jumped right in and started shooting. We have not seen all the photos yet but the sneak peaks we have gotten were gorgeous, and I’m sure the others will be the same.
