Based in Columbia, MO, we specialize in documentary wedding photography with a natural vibe. We want to tell the true story of your wedding day, focusing on real moments, instead of forced posed photos! Most of our weddings are between Kansas City and St. Louis, but we love to travel. Couples hire us because they love candid photos, especially our ability to capture great moments of the wedding guests.

Sound like our style of photography would be a good fit with what you are envisioning? We are down to earth folks. We aren't going to ask you what your wedding "colors" are or the style of your bridesmaid dresses. We want to know what is most important to you on the wedding day, and how we can best capture those moments for you.

We are down to earth folks. We aren't going to ask you what your wedding "colors" are or the style of your bridesmaid dresses. We want to know what is most important to you on the wedding day, and how we can best capture those moments for you. Every wedding is unique, and photos are one of the few things that will remain after the last song is played at your reception.
If you're looking for a gorgeous outdoor wedding venue near Columbia, MO, look no further than Blue Bell Farm. Complete with a huge white barn for covered wedding receptions, this venue (just 20 minutes west of Columbia!), is one of our favorites. Specializing in outdoor wedding photography and natural light, it's no surprise that we have fallen crazy in love with this venue and it's many gorgeous locations for bride and groom portraits.
We love photographing outdoor weddings and the Weston Red Barn Farm is our favorite outdoor wedding venue in the Kansas City area. Located just 30 miles north of Kansas City, the Weston Red Barn Farm offers a laid back setting for weddings of all sizes. With two barns and sprawling fields, this venue offers so many great photo opportunities!
Wineries can be one of the most beautiful places in Missouri to host an outdoor wedding, and Les Bourgeois in Rocheport is no exception. With scenic views of the Missouri River and the woodsy Katy Trail nearby, this wedding venue is a perfect fit for our style of ethereal, candid wedding photography.
The Barn at Scwhinn Produce Farm was the perfect setting for Annie and Rick's fall wedding! Photographing weddings at this venue that is just west of Kansas City is always a treat! For this wedding, the leaves were bursting with color and the smell of fall was in the air. Annie's vision for the day was a perfect blend of an Antropologie style with a few rustic touches sprinkled throughout the decor.

Katie is an amazing photographer and so wonderful to work with! She did our engagement photos and we could not be happier with how they turned out. She was professional, so easy to talk to, and so kind. We were a little nervous as these were our first professional photos together, but Katie was so calm and relaxing that the nerves went away really quickly. A majority of the photos were candid moment with just a few posed ones. We were impressed with how quickly we got our photos too!

We just hired Max again! Nothing has changed- He still is the best at capturing the moment, so easy to work with and the hardest worker around! You'll re-live every detail through his incredible photos.
I can not recommend Katie and Max enough. Max was our wedding photographer. He has a special talent for capturing the moment that is so natural and real. Every photo feels like you are there. Also, his unique composition, beautiful backgrounds and eye for beauty are perfection. And a bonus is his easy-going, go with the flow personality, a perfect fit for a long day interacting with just about

Wildflower Wedding Photography gave my husband and I the best experience during our wedding. Katie is kind, prompt, professional and an expert at what she does. She has a keen eye for light, artistic flair, and her professional practice as a whole. Our pictures turned out INCREDIBLE and it was due to Katie's expertise. We are so glad we chose her for our wedding and appreciate her more than words can express. Thank you!

I loved Max's documentary style for capturing all of the emotions and experiences throughout our wedding day. They are so organized at Wildflower Photography and truly a delight to work with. I loved planning with them, but even more so getting to spend our wedding day with such a kind and thoughtful photographer made our special day even better. He was so great to work with from beginning to end. Getting our amazing photos back so quickly was just an added bonus. We will cherish these incredible photos forever. Thank you Max for being the best photographer we could have asked for!

Katie at Wildflower Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with and provided us with terrific memories of our day! Professional, extremely kind, knowledgeable and available are just some of the words that come to mind when thinking about our experience. Katie was able to answer all of our questions and provide an itinerary of what to expect on the wedding day, which is very appreciated if you are a planner like myself :) We were so grateful to receive our pictures in such a quick turnaround time and relive the day through her lens- tons of variety, poses and emotions were captured and we

Katie did both my wedding photos and recently our family photos. As a wedding industry professional myself, I have seen good, bad, and ugly. Wildflower does THE BEST work I have seen. I could not be happier with all of the portraits we have done and will continue to use wildflower and recommend them.

Katie and Max helped make our big day incredibly special. Their direction and guidance during pictures made everything go smoothly, and the photos they captured during the ceremony and reception are absolutely amazing. They provided us with beautiful photos that we will cherish for the rest of our lives.

The Wildflower Wedding Photography team was A++. Not only are the photos from our big day absolutely beautiful, but the team was friendly, assertive, helpful, detail-oriented & professional. Katie helped determine my day-of timeline (invaluable for someone planning their own wedding), listened to what I wanted, scouted out the best spots for photos & helped us to stay on time. Thanks, Wildflower!

Wildflower Wedding Photography were our wonderful photographers for our October wedding. They did a marvelous job! The photos turned out beautifully and we now have many to look at to relive our special day. They were also able to catch many unique frames and really capture the beauty. Katie and Max were both a joy to work with and helped make the process a smooth one. We were able to be natural in front of the camera because of their authentic personalities. So happy we decided to work with them!
