Now booking 2027 weddings
We disappear into your day, so you can be fully in it.
Amber & Oak is a documentary-style wedding photography studio in Kansas City. We spend your day quietly capturing the real moments as they happen — the nervous laugh before the ceremony, the way golden light catches the room at your reception — instead of pulling you away for two hours of posed portraits. Sneak peeks land in your inbox within 72 hours.
Included in The Full Day & The Weekend
Your engagement session comes first.
Before your wedding day, we spend an evening together at golden hour — no forced poses, just a chance to get comfortable in front of the camera (and in front of us) before the day that matters most arrives.
The Packages
Coverage Built Around Your Day, Not a Script
Every couple's timeline looks different — these three starting points cover most weddings we shoot. We'll shape the exact details together on a no-pressure call before anything is locked in.
Intimate
The Elopement
Three hours of unobtrusive coverage with one photographer — built for courthouse ceremonies, small backyard vows, and anyone who wants the day kept simple. Online gallery of 200+ images.
Most Booked
The Full Day
Eight hours with two photographers so nothing gets missed — getting ready through the last dance — plus your engagement session and a print-release gallery of 600+ images.
Full Weekend
The Weekend
Coverage from the rehearsal dinner through the send-off brunch, two photographers throughout, a same-week sneak-peek gallery, and a custom keepsake album to hold.
Every package can flex — add a second shooter, drone coverage, a roll of film alongside the digital set, or an expedited 72-hour full gallery. Ask us on your call.
What Couples Tell Us
Stories Couples Tell Us Afterward
“We forgot they were even there half the time — which is exactly what we wanted. The sneak peek hit our inbox two days later and we cried at our desks at work.”

The Story, Start to Finish
A Wedding Day, In Order
We shoot the day the way it actually unfolds — quiet mornings, the walk down the aisle, the golden hour that always sneaks up on everyone, and a reception that gets a little wild by the end. Filter by moment below.

Let's Talk About Your Day
Tell us the date and a little about what you're picturing — we'll follow up personally, usually within a day, to set up a no-pressure call. This isn't a booking calendar; it's the start of a conversation.
Serving
Kansas City, Overland Park, Lee's Summit, Liberty, Parkville and the surrounding KC metro — happy to travel further for full-day and weekend weddings.
Questions Couples Ask
Frequently Asked Questions
How fast will we actually see our photos?
You'll have a sneak peek of 20–30 favorites in your inbox within 48–72 hours of your wedding — we know the wait is the hardest part. Your full gallery follows in 4–6 weeks, well ahead of the 8–12 week wait that's typical in this industry.
We're awkward in front of a camera — will that show in our photos?
Almost every couple tells us this before their wedding, and almost none of them believe it about their own gallery afterward. We shoot documentary-style, which means we're following the day rather than directing it — you'll spend far more time forgetting we're there than posing for us.
Is the engagement session included, or is that extra?
It's built into The Full Day and The Weekend packages at no additional cost, and it's genuinely useful beyond the photos themselves — most couples tell us it's where they got comfortable with us before the wedding day arrived. It can be added to The Elopement for an additional session fee if you'd like one.
Do you only shoot in Kansas City, or will you travel?
We're based in Westport and shoot most weddings around the KC metro, but we happily travel for weekend and full-day weddings further out — just mention your venue when you reach out and we'll talk through what travel looks like.
How does booking actually work?
It starts with a conversation, not a contract. Send us your date and a little about your day, and we'll set up a short call to see if we're a good fit before anything is locked in — no pressure, no hard sell.
