THE TWO
OF YOU
Less posing. More you.
Kansas City ✶ Couples Photographer ✶
I find the good light, put you in it, and give you something to do besides smile at me. Most of the session is you two talking, walking, and cracking each other up. By the end, you’ll forget I’m there.
Sessions are $400 for 30 minutes or $500 for an hour. Booking a Signature or Luxe wedding? Your engagement session is already included.
Your skin looks like your skin. Your outfits stay the colors you picked, and fall in Loose Park looks like fall.
Clean editing that holds up. They’ll still look good on your save-the-dates, your guest book, and your parents’ fridge ten years from now.
AT THE SESSION
We start easy, with a walk and a little direction. My prompts get you out of your heads, like asking who said ‘I love you’ first. The good photos happen in the middle of the laugh.
Before the session, we’ll plan the spot, the timing, and what to wear, so you know exactly what to expect. Booking your wedding with me too? This is our warm-up, and it makes the big day easier.

How much does an engagement session cost in Kansas City?
With me, $400 for 30 minutes or $500 for an hour. A one-hour session is included with the Signature and Luxe wedding collections.
Where should we take engagement photos in Kansas City?
Somewhere that feels like you two. Couples have picked the Overland Park Arboretum, the Crossroads, even the bar where they met. I’ll send ideas that fit the season and the light.
What should we wear?
Something you’d wear on a good date, in colors that don’t fight each other. The one-hour session includes an outfit change, so you can do one dressy look and one casual.
We’re awkward in photos. Will this work?
Yes, that’s what the prompts are for. I’ll give you a starting point and something to talk about, and the camera stops being the point.
Pick a date, pick a spot, and we’ll take it from there. You’ll hear from me within 48 hours.

YOUR PRICE
Tell me about your day, and I'll show you exactly how much coverage you need and what it costs. No guessing, no surprises.
STEP 1
Let's start with your date and size. This sets your pricing structure.
Just a ballpark—this helps me understand your day.
The hourly rate stays the same no matter the size. Choosing elopement or intimate gathering helps me understand your day and tailor the options—trimming extras a full-day wedding might need but you probably don't.
STEP 2
How many locations will your day involve? This affects coverage time.
STEP 3
What would you like captured before you walk down the aisle?
This single decision shapes your entire timeline.
These special reveals can happen regardless of whether you do a couple first look.
STEP 4
Select which formal portraits you'd like.
Since you're doing a first look, we'll capture these before your ceremony so you can enjoy cocktail hour.
Immediate family = parents, siblings, grandparents. Extended = aunts, uncles, cousins.
Since you're doing a traditional reveal, formal portraits happen immediately after your ceremony during cocktail hour.
Let me know who's in the photos beyond just the two of you.
Immediate family = parents, siblings, grandparents. Extended = aunts, uncles, cousins.
STEP 5
Tell me about your ceremony.
Have a unique ceremony style? Reach out and we can adjust.
STEP 6
What reception moments matter most to you?
How long is your cocktail hour scheduled to be? This determines coverage between your ceremony and reception.
Drive time counts as part of your coverage, not separate from it. If you're getting married in KC and celebrating in Lawrence, that 45-minute drive is part of your booked hours—not excluded.
I can't split coverage (for example, photographing your ceremony, then leaving and coming back hours later for dinner). Plan your day so everything flows back-to-back.
Check any events you want covered. Each adds 15 minutes.
STEP 7
These are completely optional. Everything in your coverage is already built from your timeline above.
A second photographer is available for days of 4 hours or more.
Matches your coverage hours.
Kansas City and anywhere within 90 miles is included at no extra charge.
Add-on pricing is separate from any seasonal discounts. Photography hours get the discount. Add-ons don't.
YOUR QUOTE
Estimated total before retainer split
