AT WEDDINGS I’M THE PHOTOGRAPHER BUT I’M ALSO…

THE CHEERLEADER, USHER, CALMING PRESENCE, KEEPER OF THE TIMELINE, AND STEALTH NINJA ANTICIPATING WHAT’S COMING NEXT.

Most importantly though … I’m one of the many people who want this day to be what you dreamed of and will do anything in their power to make it so.

After photographing hundreds of weddings I’ve learned a thing or two (or 200)

Like when to take the lead to ensure that your must-have shots are checked off and when to be still and wait for the relationships surrounding you to show the beautiful touches of joy that long to be captured.

MY WORK IS ABOUT MORE THAN THE PHOTOS, IT’S ABOUT You

COUNT ME IN WHETHER YOU

⟢ Choose a courthouse elopement, a backyard soiree, or a ballroom gala

⟢ Incorporate traditions that’ve been passed down to you or create your own

⟢ Draw inspiration from the life you share, family history, or your personal style

⟢ Invite every person who’s impacted your life or just your inner circle

“Deanna made us feel so comfortable on our wedding day, just like she was a friend or family.”

I WANT TO CELEBRATE THIS EXPERIENCE WITH YOU

AND I WANT TO HELP YOU CREATE IT

I love working with couples to build wedding days centered around who they are and what matters most to them.

What Fills My Cup

Afternoons hunting for treasures at my favorite thrift shops

Treating myself to a really good coffee

Spending time in nature with my hands in the garden

Reading a book by the ocean

Living in a walkable and historic KC neighborhood

Date nights with my husband

Spending summers road tripping with my family

Dance parties with my boys
