Independence, MO
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,800

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.

Hi! My name is Angi Landis. I received my Bachelor of Science Degree, in Photography, from the University of Central Missouri..... years ago. Angi’s Art became a reality in 2004, and I have had fun photographing wonderful moments ever since. Weddings are my absolute favorite!!

From the first moments you see each other, to the small glances you give each other while holding hands… I want to show it all! From the wedding cake, to the smallest decoration…. If you put thought into it, I want to artistically document it for you.

I love the energy Angi puts off! She was amazing, she made us feel comfortable and gave us positive energy! She was so funny and made the day special for us! Her photos are absolutely amazing. She also is a great “wedding planner” she kept our day on track, well really ahead of time giving us extra time to walk around and talk with friends and family! She made the day absolutely perfect and her photos were amazing!!

Morgan K Photography

  • 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.

I love capturing people in their very human moments. Images that really resonate with me are those which capture the essence of a person, a relationship, or just raw emotion. I search to photograph moments in which people reveal who they really are. This drive affects everything I do. Weddings are a breeding ground for these types of moments and emotions. Honest love, friendship, and joy. This is why I have chosen to specialize in this type of photography, because it speaks to me in a way than nothing else does.

Meghan at Spencer Studios was so much more than a photographer for us. She immediately recognized that we were struggling with our planners, especially day of, and stepped up. She went above and beyond in every single aspect. I truly believe she saved our day. Meghan fit so seamlessly into every aspect of our wedding day. She wasn't just our photographer, she was our voice and most importantly our friend who made sure everything went perfectly. She made sure that we took time to be thoughtful of each other and say the things we were thinking aloud to one another. Those are things you can't capture in a photograph, but she made sure we had them anyway. Our photos are absolutely gorgeous and she captured every single moment thanks to her very detailed questionnaire and timeline. Her eye for detail and beauty shines in every photo (all 2,400 of them). She told us that she loves to shoot weddings because the photos aren't just for us, they are for generations to come. That has been so true as we spend each anniversary with her artwork and have decorated our home with her little touches.

Yes, my name is actually Zola. I am a photographer of over 7 yrs. Engagements, and weddings are by far my favorite. I mean, besides that I love wedding cake, I love being able to create and preserve memories unique to YOU. I guess that is why all my photos are not cookie cut or the same. See, I am a former DIY bride (omg that was stressful!) and so I make it a point to get to know my couples, their story, and vision. I am there for all of it. I want to be in the stressful planning, I even love creating timelines for the event, cause honey we are not rushing and sweating on wedding day.

Awarded Best of Zola
We had a wonderful experience with ZLuna Photography. We booked them for 8 hours of photography for our wedding and reception in Plano, TX. Nadia (owner/photographer) was the perfect person to document our memories. We highly recommend her for her positive energy, clear communication, helpful organization, attention to detail, and of course her amazing photography. Vibe & Energy Nadia was a joy to work with. We loved her positive and fun energy from our first meeting. She's a people person with an outgoing personality and vibe that makes you feel comfortable. Her personality made it easy to interact with guests and get fun photos out of them. During moments of anxiety, she brought much needed positivity and encouragement to remain calm and focus on each other. As an ICU nurse, she knows how to keep cool, communicate clearly, and help navigate stressful situations. Her team also brought the same great energy and positivity. Nothing but good vibes working with the ZLuna Photography team! Communication Before, during and after our wedding day, communication was clear. In our first consultation, Nadia got to know us and our story as couple. She listened to our vision for our wedding and expressed her vision as a photographer. She listened to our concerns and was real about her own. She asked lots of questions to ensure she photographed everything we wanted. Prior to the day, she checked in with us over video chat and text. On our wedding day Nadia was friendly, funny, and upbeat while working hard and clearly communicating what she needed from us. Nadia and her team worked well with our coordinator, vendors, and guests. After our wedding, Nadia reached out via text to congratulate us again and provide a timeline when to expect final photos. She even sent us a highlight video previewing our photos the next day, which was a thoughtful surprise. Organization Nadia was incredibly organized in her planning and execution, documenting our wedding timeline and what details would be captured at each point during the day. We chose to plan our wedding ourselves without a wedding planner (very stressful) and were often not as organized as we could have been. Still, Nadia was patient and understanding of our DIY approach and even offered suggestions, ideas and resources to help us. Her websites for booking/invoicing and for viewing/downloading photos were also organized and easy to navigate. Attention to Detail Nadia asked all the right detailed questions to ensure that she captured everything we wanted. We loved the details that were shot in our wedding photos ranging from our attire and accessories, rings, food, cake, venue, décor, etc. Attention to detail was also given to capturing the range of expressions and emotions on our and our guests' faces throughout the day. Nadia and her team got some REALLY memorable, fun, and hilarious shots of us and our guests dancing that we love and still make us laugh. Photography We absolutely love our photos! Nadia's art is stunning and exceeded expectations. We love the effects and filters that were applied, and the way the photographers used small details in the venue décor and lighting to make the photos unique. They did an amazing job of capturing the love, joy, fun, and all the other emotions of the day. When we look at our photos we can't think of any moments, details, people, or feelings on our wedding day that weren't captured in the final photos we received. We highly recommend ZLuna Photography!
