"Blue Window is one of the MOST creative groups of young and upcoming graphic artists. I would recommend giving them a try. Mary and Joel have done a great job creating the posters, business cards, and invites for The Wedding Hive of Kansas City, MO!!!! Genevieve Flynn"
"Joel and Mary are exceptional individuals. The wedding industry has a way of neutering creative people. Over time people turn to zombies and fall in line. Joel and Mary seem to be immune to it all. They just keep doing their thing and their thing is fabulous. They are great designers, excellent photographers, and kind individuals. Best of all, it will be an easy decision for you. Talk to them. Either you will love them or you will think them strange. If you think them strange, move on.... If you love them, as I do, book them without delay!!!"
"Joel & Mary produce the most creative designs we have yet encountered! Both artistically & photographically, these people are fun, fun, fun! How lucky that Kansas City has access to such talent and that they are able to accommodate the special needs of your amazing day!"
"Blue Window Creative has saved my life. Well, maybe not from a speeding train but in countless other ways! They do all of my design work and I get more compliments on my business cards than I can count, which in turn has brought me bundles of business & wonderful people who appreciate great design! Imagine what they can do with your wedding invitations! And as for their photography, everytime I look at their photographs of weddings I feel like I was there, like I can hear the conversation that was going on, and I get the tinglies in my chest at every single picture of a couple at the Altar as if it was me getting married. Their photos are so true to the moment that half of the time it takes me a minute to realize that I wasn't there. Hiring Blue Window Creative for anything will be the best wedding decision you could make besides getting married!"
"Amazing! So much beyond the word "creative"! Truly artists, truly sweet people, You'd be making the right choice in doing business with Blue Window Creative!"

Honestly, one of the best decisions we have ever made is calling Mary and Joel for our wedding. They are so extremely talented and two of the kindest people you will ever meet. Their photos are breathtaking and leave you wondering how any two people could do such beautiful job at capturing exactly who you are in a single shot. Their photos will make you laugh, make you cry, and make you remember EXACTLY how you felt on the day of your wedding. Their work is so unobtrusive that you barely notice that they are snapping shots throughout the day. They spent so much time with us, including two days of ceremonies before our Indian meets Western wedding and were truly part of our wedding, not just another "vendor".

And it doesn't stop there; they don't just take jaw-dropping photos, they create custom invitations that will exceed any expectations that you would ever have about a piece of paper. Three months later and post-wedding, we are STILL getting compliments on our invititions. I promise, you won't find anything more creative, more unique or more beautiful than what they can create for you. They really get to know who you are and work tirelessly to get everything right. Mary and Joel are also able to recommend equally talented florists, dress-makers, bakers, etc with the same passion and creativity that you absolutely will not find in your typical run-of-the-mill wedding vendors.

We absolutely can not say enough about Mary and Joel, personally and professionally! We would recommend them to any one for any event as they are, beyond doubt, two of the most talented and sincere people we have ever met.

We were blessed to find Mary and Joel after a bad experience with our first choice of photographer. They were so cool to work with and they made it so easy to stand in front of a camera! Both my husband and I don't really like getting our picture take so we were afraid it would feel awkward and uncomfortable. Mary and Joel just engage you in conversation and you don't even realize they are taking your picture half the time! The pictures themselves are so cool because they capture moments and expression that are truely you! No cutesy poses by the tree with his hand on your shoulder or the traditional poses. REAL moments which were priceless to us! They got my crinkled nose laugh and James giving me that "your crazy, woman" look with one eyebrow raised! Those show our true personalities and are our favorites! They catch the moments that you have together when you think the camera's not pointing at you and no one see's. I am sure that if it is the traditional pictures that you are going for, Mary and Joel are the ones to do the best job too! Thanks Mary and Joel for the best pictures for the best time in our lives!

There are not words to express how happy I was with there work. Mary was a delight to work with and went out of her way to make sure everything was perfect. We had a brainstorming session and she created me the most perfect wedding invitation. She took the design from my design as inspiration. We carried this throughout the whole wedding. They did our Save-The-Dates, Invitations, Programs and Table Cards. I've told everybody in the world about them. People actually took our wedding invitations to show friends. Seriously, how often does that happen? Blue Window does an amazing job of capturing your event at an even greater price.

Mary and Joel were amazing and we couldn't have asked for better wedding day photographers. I look through my photos and find a new favorite everytime. They captured what was real and made it beautiful. They are truly artists and I would recommend them to any couple for their engagement or wedding day photos. We love you and your work, Mary and Joel!!!

Words can't describe the feelings we have when we look through our wedding album. I can't express how blown away we were with images Mary & Joel took on our wedding day. They're both extremely talented, and captured the most amazing shots. Our friends and family STILL (almost a year later) comment on our wedding photos. I loved how quickly Mary returned my emails & calls. I also enjoyed the fact that they showed complete professionalism while working. HIGHLY Recommend!

Blue Window was one of the best choices I made for my wedding. My husband and I could not have been happier. Mary and Joel captured all the best moments of our special day and looking back over the pictures allows us to relive it all again.

I was recommended this photographer by my old college roommate, and boy was I lucky! Although their prices are now a little on the high end, their photographs are amazing! They do a journalistic style, and are happy to travel. (They came from Kansas City to Miami, OK for our wedding.)

They were professional, friendly, and easy to work with. Check out their website for a preview of some of their work. Our pictures turned out just as good as any of the pictures now displayed on their website. What they show truly is their quality of work.
