Kendal Banks Photography

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Independence, 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!

My name is Halee Shearhart and I was born and raised in a little place I like to call the Lou (St. Louis if you didn’t know). I am all about that Imo’s Pizza, those T-Ravs and Syberg’s Wings. I like to eat, if you hadn’t guessed. I’m currently residing at the other end of the state in Kansas City, but my heart will always lie with the Arch. Along with my love for St. Louis foods, I have a deep relationship with coffee.

Elizabeth, Kyle, and her team were amazing - from the first initial Zoom call all the way to picking up my wedding album and everything in between. The process is detailed, so that decisions are made prior to the big day, which helps to alleviate decisions on the day-of. Her photography is out of this world with the angles she finds and the moments she is able to capture. Kyle also has quite the eye for capturing clips throughout the day that make such a spectacular video. 10/10 recommend this duo and their team!!

Morgan K Photography

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $1,500
  • Serves Independence, MO

I started my business because I found something I am really good at, and I wouldn't mind doing for the rest of my life. Afterall, isn't that everyone's goal in life? Do what you love and love what you do and you'll never work a day in your life. My business itself started off and on for the first few years. Mostly due to babies. My babies are now toddlers, and I find my finger itching more and more as they grow to continue capturing every little step. I find it completely selfish to keep it all to myself and let's face it, my girls can only take so much of my camera following them around.

Morgan is my go to photographer! She is phenomenal at what she does and has captured the essence of my family many of times. She is wonderful, very respectful, punctual, patient, and professional! She is everything you could ever want in a photographer.

Hi, I’m Destiny, and photography is more than just a job—it’s a way of preserving the moments that matter most. Your wedding day is one of the most meaningful chapters of your life, and my goal is to capture it in a way that feels natural, timeless, and uniquely yours. I believe in the magic of real emotion—the joyful tears, the unplanned laughter, and the quiet in-between moments. If you’re looking for a photographer who feels more like a friend than someone behind the camera, I’d be honored to tell your love story through my lens.

We couldn't be happier with our experience with Destiny Jackson Photography! From the very beginning, they were warm, professional, and truly invested in capturing our day exactly how we envisioned it. Their communication style was professional, attentive, and personable throughout the entire process. On our wedding day, they made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera and somehow managed to be everywhere at once without ever feeling intrusive. The quality of their work is truly breathtaking, with an authentic and timeless feel. Every photo tells a story — the little details, the candid laughs, the emotional moments, and the big celebrations were all captured so beautifully. Looking through our gallery feels like reliving the entire day all over again. The quality, creativity, and thoughtfulness in their work is unmatched, and our family and friends are just as blown away as we are.

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.
