About

Our goal is the capture that uniqueness of your wedding with our blended shooting style
and enhance your images to create “true art”.

We focus on capturing real emotion and personality – because isn’t that what
everyone wants in their wedding pictures?
 
Photojournalism isn’t just a buzz word for us – our background in journalism instilled a
philosophy in us that we should capture moments – real moments – as they unfold.
But wait. There’s more!
 
We know that gorgeous images take some time and some framing. Notice we didn’t say posing.
This is not your traditional photography studio. We want to see YOU! So we let you play with your friends and
focus on the love of your life. It’s easy and lots of fun.
PLUS it leads to amazing wedding pictures that we take to the next level.
 
These are our signature bold images. It’s the texturing, the feel, the look – whatever you want to call it – it’s what we do.
 
It’s real life; it’s a unique vision ­­— it’s true art.

Endorsements
I'm a huge fan of Hawes Photography! I had the opportunity to work with them last year on a very unique outdoor wedding, and true to what I'd heard about them, their work was so good and accurately represented the great time had by all. An outstanding portfolio, very personable, these two are quite a catch!
Absolutely one of the most creative photographic artists in the Kansas City area. A "must see" before contracting any other photographer.
Aaron and Heather are always a joy. They hit the wedding scene with quite a force. Just look at their portfolio. It speaks for itself. We love them.
