We are Kodi and Shawn and thank you for stopping by. We are destination wedding photographers/cinematographers from Kansas City area who love to travel! Our bags are packed and passports are ready for wherever the next destination wedding takes us! We love to bring a fun carefree energy and joy into the art we create because we believe that the best clicks with our camera start by clicking with the people in front of it.

We LOVE the authenticity of real emotion because it is the best way to tell your story. Telling your story is our passion. Our favorite images are joyful tears, belly laughs, and all the moments that make your wedding a once in a lifetime experience. We are so excited to make those images a part of what you share with your new family.

Shawn and Kodi made the memories concrete. Shawn did our engagement photos and we couldn't be happier. I hate taking pictures so much that I was in tears that morning begging my fiancé not to make me do it. He didn't budge so we met Shawn for our session and I am so glad we did. He made us feel totally comfortable, he was easy to work with and the pictures came out perfectly.
Both Shawn and Kodi shot our wedding and they were all hands on deck. Kodi helped Shawn with everything from pictures, to helping me carry my train, to grabbing waters to directing traffic (family portraits) and a whole

Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, Value
Booking Shawn and Kodi as our photographers ended up being the best choice we made for our entire wedding. They were very responsive and professional throughout the whole process. Our wedding photos turned out amazing and we barely noticed they were there! Would highly recommend them if they are available for your special day!

I was extremely satisfied with my experience working with Swander Photography. Communication was exceptional prior to our wedding and very smooth after. We received breathtaking photos that were above our expectations. I feel the service we received was above and beyond what was promised. When I expressed my thanks the response I received was humble and polite and made the situation feel even more amazing.

Shawn has done my family's photos for years and me and my siblings graduation photos. He's always been a pleasure to work with and does great work, can't wait to hire him to do my wedding!

We used Swander for our engagement photos and wedding this year, and had great experiences with both. Shawn made us feel comfortable even in the poses we felt most awkward about. He’s super personable and our engagement pics turned out great! Joel led the team for our wedding this weekend, and we can’t wait to see those photos and videos. They seemed to have a great eye for both candid and planned pics, and they were just so fun and easy-going which we appreciated.

I was very pleased with my wedding photos. Shawn was easy to work with. They were early, listened and followed all our requests, friendly, not in the way or obvious. It was just a very easy, fun event.
The finished product was great and timely.
I highly recommend this company.

SP was chosen to photograph and video shoot my brother(s) wedding in New Mexico. The level of service and attention to detail was shadowed by how passionate the photographer(s) were before, during and after the wedding. Kudos to SP Photo & Video!
