Welcome! I'm so happy you're here.
Hi. I'm Cierre,
your intimate wedding photographer guide
Hi, I'm Cierre! I am a hopeful romantic and Kansas City area wedding photographer that specializes in intimate weddings.
I believe that photography should capture the feeling of a memory, turning it into a visual heirloom that can be enjoyed for years to come.
I have been in love with stories and storytelling since I was a child. That love began as an avid reader of romantasy books and eventually led me to get a degree in theatre.
As a performer, director, singer, actor, and dancer, I have been storytelling for as long as I can remember. I am inspired by the human experience and bringing the small details of it to the forefront.
I got my first camera when I was 14 years old. 10 years later, it's still love at first sight.
More than a photographer.
I will help you bring details of your wedding to life so that you can focus on living it on the day. I will be alongside you the minute we start chatting about your dream wedding day. I will ask you about who you are as a couple, what your priorities are on your wedding day. This is where the magic will begin.
Getting to watch someone experience the joy of marrying their soulmate is the best part of the job. Behind the camera, not only do you get a photographer, you get a woman that is deeply invested in your love story, and wants to capture it as it is.
This investment manifests in my belief that what happens on the camera screen is just as important as what happens off of it. Each of my packages also comes with a credit towards prints, albums, and wall art. We walk through and design these heirloom items together, so they can be perfect for you.
Each of my couples also receives a full wedding guide. This includes guidance on first looks, different timeline examples, and other things that can help you as you go along this journey.
When your day finally arrives, I want you to feel that behind the camera, there is a true friend, that eases your nerves, and one that you trust to capture your day with the intentionality that you planned it with.
Why I Love Intimate Weddings
After years of photography, reading love stories, and acting them out onstage, I believe that the best part of life is the people you walk through it with. Intimate weddings and elopements are the epitome of this idea: your closest friends and family gathering in one special location to celebrate you and the person you love. In this day and age, where much of what we create is for others, your wedding day can be personal, intimate, and original to you.

Locations
Nelson Atkins Museum
Nelson-Atkins is a beautiful space that offers different gardens, architecture, and sculptures. There is something for both the nature lovers and the urban lovers. Indoor photograpy is prohibitied as is changing inside.
National WWI Museum
The 217-foot limestone tower and terraces overlook the downtown skyline, giving portraits genuine scale and drama. Sunset is the sweet spot — the limestone warms to gold and the city lights begin to glow behind you. A great choice for couples who want their portraits to feel monumental without losing intimacy.
West Bottoms/Crossroads
Red brick facades, old warehouse textures, and painted murals give this area a moodier, more editorial feel. This is ideal for couples who want something with grit and character rather than polish. The Crossroads in particular has become a favorite for its mix of street art and industrial charm.
Prairie Fire Mueseum
The building's dichroic glass shifts color from a bright, warm tone in daylight to a cooler glow at night — a genuinely unique and slightly surreal element to work into a shoot, especially for couples drawn to something less traditional.
How long does it take to receive the final edited photos?
We understand the anticipation of seeing your final photos. Our editing process typically takes 2-3 weeks, depending on the volume of images and the complexity of editing required. We prioritize quality and attention to detail to deliver exceptional images that exceed your expectations.
