You crave those images that can't help but to actually bring you back to a place, a time...a feeling.  You're drawn to images that pop off the page, and want to experience something fun, fearless, and bold, just like you.

Whether you're laughing your ass off, caught in an intimate moment, tearing up the dance floor, or just being what makes you unique, you deserve to have your story told in a raw, authentic, and colorful manner.

Thats where I come in.

KANSAS CITY

DESTINATION

BECAUSE WHO WANTS GENERIC WEDDING IMAGES?

I certainly don't, and if you are here, my guess is you don't want that either! 

I get it, there are 5 gazillion options for wedding photographers in Kansas City.  I remember going through that process too, which is why I want to make this super easy for you.  I'm not just your typical wedding photographer, and we're NOT going to make typical images together.  Full stop.  

How are we going to achieve that?

 By getting to know YOU on a deeper, personal level.  I want to know what makes you tick, your interests, your love story, your goals and ambitions.   Thats how we're going to click and make amazing wedding photos that aren't what you see everywhere else.  By the end of this process, I want to feel like a friend, part of the family, and someone you 100% trust to tell this important story from start to finish.

So let's get together, grab a coffee (or beer if thats your speed), talk it out, get to know each other, and just do this thing!



FOR REAL...

 LET'S GET STARTED

PEOPLE ARE TALKING

Her work is outstanding and her personality is even better. She makes being in front of the camera so natural and comfortable. After seeing one sneak peak from our wedding pictures my husband said “she’s going to be worth every penny”, that speaks for itself. She captured our wedding day perfectly, and I couldn’t image working with anyone else on such a special day.

Melissa is absolutely amazing.

I'm not sure I can say enough good things about Melissa. She is not only an astounding photographer, which isn't difficult to see from her samples, but she is also a joy to work with. My husband and I were both a bit camera shy before our engagement photos (and he hates getting his picture taken anyway), and Melissa helped us ease in to our session and made us feel comfortable so we were enjoying ourselves by the end of the day! By the time we saw her again at our wedding we were naturals! And man did she go above and beyond at out wedding.

So basically, Melissa is wonderful.

When we saw our wedding photos for the first time, I cried because they were so beautiful. We are forever grateful that Melissa has given us so many gorgeous photos to treasure of our wedding day. She is passionate about what she does and it shows. All of her photos are amazing!

We hired Melissa as our wedding photographer and it was the best decision ever.

Melissa and the second photographer did exactly what I had hoped they would do during our big day -- they captured the moments we did not realize we were experiencing in the moment AND they captured the moments we knew we would not remember and the moments we missed with some of our guests.

Choosing Melissa was the best decision we could possibly have made.
