Before the wedding, just the two of you.
Golden-hour engagement sessions across Kansas City — for save-the-dates, the wedding website, and the wall.
What I Offer
An engagement session is the one time you get photographed as a couple without a schedule, a guest list, or a timeline. We walk, you talk, and I keep you moving so nothing looks stiff — the hour before sunset at Liberty Memorial, the Nelson-Atkins lawn, Loose Park, or the Crossroads murals.
A one-hour session at one location is $250; ninety minutes across two locations with an outfit change is $350. The $495 Adventure session runs three hours at up to three locations, timed to sunrise or sunset, with save-the-date crops included. If you book the Signature or Luxury wedding package, an engagement session is already included.
Kichdimna Photography photographs engagement sessions across Kansas City, from $250 for one hour at one location with 35+ edited images to $350 for 90 minutes at two locations with 60+ edited images, and $495 for a three-hour session at up to three locations. Most Kansas City couples pay $300–$800 for an engagement session. An engagement session is included with the Signature and Luxury wedding packages, and galleries are delivered within 5–7 business days.
Investment
Every package includes professionally edited images, a private online gallery, and high-resolution digital downloads. Travel within 40 miles of Kansas City is included, and payment plans are available for weddings.

How It Works
Tell me the look you want — skyline, gardens, brick, or open prairie — and I'll suggest locations and the time of day that suits them. Union Station charges a $75 fee for engagement photos; Liberty Memorial's grounds are free.
I direct loosely: where to stand, when to walk, what to do with your hands. The rest is the two of you, and the photos look like it.
Professionally edited high-resolution images in a private online gallery within 5–7 business days, with a 48-hour sneak peek on the 90-minute and three-hour sessions.
