    Beautiful photos, chill process, professional communication

    Paper Sun photos did our wedding and engagement pictures in 2023. The results are breathtaking and we are so happy we hired them to help document our special day. Mollie has an eye for the most beautiful moments, framing, and editing to make us relive the emotions of our wedding day every time we look at the pictures.

    Perfect photographer for our perfect day

    I wanted to work with Paper Sun as soon as I saw the bright colors and abundant joy on their website - and I’m so glad I did. Mollie and her team are warm, friendly people and they bring that out in their subjects (aka us). The photos that we have seen so far (a sneak peek with dozens, just a few days after our wedding!) are more beautiful than we ever imagined.

    Paper Sun Photography's reply:

    Thank you Joanna, for being the perfect subject and perfect bride! I loved working with you two and discovering how wonderful you are to photograph together. Even in the bright light, haha :) You two were so sweet at your engagement, and I loved getting to meet your friends and family on the wedding day and photograph all the joy. It's the good stuff!

    the dedication is chef's kiss

    I have to include what started as a nightmare scenario to fully explain just how much I love Paper Sun and Mollie and Louise and Chris.

    Paper Sun had to reassign the staffing at our wedding twice.

    HOWEVER--in the midst of a pandemic and vendors who left us high and dry, Mollie refused to let our wedding down. When they had to restaff the team the first the time, Mollie was professional, honest, empathetic, and kind. When it happened the second time, she floored me with how she was willing to let me walk away and how honest she was that we could find second photographers.

    Nope--from the first phone call with Mollie, this was a team that was sold on our wedding day vision. Mollie fell in love with our love story, us as a couple, our wedding venue, etcetera, and held the utmost professionalism when lightning, god forbid, struck twice. I could have been a mess of a stressed out bride but of all the things that were happening in the final days up to the wedding, I knew Mollie had it handled for my husband and I. And she absolutely did. From the flash drive engraved with Paper Sun to the online gallery and the contract suite, every detail is taken care of and absolutely hand crafted with the utmost detail and dedication to her craft. I LOVE Paper Sun and I'm so glad we were referred to them.

    Paper Sun Photography's reply:

    Thank you so much Haley!! From the very first we were meant to be, and you stuck with us through medical emergencies and Covid fiascos, and have been the kindest and most wonderful bride! You and Alex have such a sweet way with each other, and Louise, Chris and I were ALL lucky to be able to capture your love story in your engagement and wedding photos. Thank you for trusting us!

    Book Paper Sun Photo ASAP!

    Mollie was wonderful! We are so happy with our engagement and wedding photos. My husband and I aren’t usually comfortable in front of a camera, but Mollie made us feel more at ease. She was also very flexible with all the changes we had to make due to the pandemic. Highly recommend!

    Paper Sun Photography's reply:

    Amber, thank you so much! We got truly gorgeous images for your engagements and wedding, you guys are fantastic in front of the camera! I love that I helped make it feel comfortable and fun for you, and so glad that you are treasuring your photos :)

    Captured Who We Are as a Couple!

    My husband and I have never been "picture takers." We weren't even terribly concerned over our photography package or worried about the details when it came to our wedding photos and Paper Sun really made the whole overwhelming photography experience easy, carefree, and coordinated with our personalities and lifestyle! Mollie was so completely relaxed that she gave a true sense of ease and natural-ness to our entire day and evening! We loved working with her and are so pleased with our photos and how they really captured who we are as a couple! Thank you!

    Emily was so fantastic to work with! From our first meeting, we knew she understood what we were looking for and really got us as a couple. We had a blast during our engagement session and trusted her completely on our wedding day. The images are beautiful and really captured our wedding day from beginning to end. I look forward to recommending M&E to everyone I know, and hopefully using them again in the future for family portraiture.

    Great team of fun professional people

    Highly recommend these folks. They do a great job working with you as a customer, trying to capture your vision with a strong artistic touch. They were kind, fun, and great to have at our wedding. We got our photos back quickly and were really pleased with them!

    We booked Paper Sun Photography (formerly M&E Photo Studio) for our engagement and wedding photos in KC, and we are so happy we did! The moment I saw the incredible portfolio of work on their website, I knew in my heart that we had to book them for our wedding. Both our engagement and wedding photos turned out amazing and we are so in love with all of the pictures we got back! Their photographers are top notch and have the eye to shoot those intimate details you want captured forever on your big day. Chris was a breeze to work with and was very flexible when it came to scheduling our last minute engagement session. He is very personable and it was great planning with him and going over ideas, and he was very receptive to any needs that we had and was on top of communication. He was also able to work some serious magic with our tight schedule and get all of the photos we wanted! Mollie was also present on our wedding day as a second photographer and her contributions were truly fantastic! Now we have perfectly beautiful memories of our wedding that our family can treasure forever. Thank you for capturing our best day ever!

    Everything I could have asked for

    Mollie is all could have wanted in a photographer! She communicated clearly and presented herself with a professional and cheerful demeanor. Her photography is inventive, yet also classic and beautifully captured the essence of the day.

    We ADORED working with Louise. We had talked on the phone about the specific needs of our elopement months in advance. I sought her out not just for her wedding photography but her personal art/photography. I knew she would be the perfect person. We were able to work collaboratively on a style and on a package that made sense for our specific needs. Louise was also very excited about the style that we wanted and was just genuinely thrilled to be shooting our wedding. Since we were eloping and there were only two people in attendance at our wedding - Louise being one of them. It was really important that her presence gelled with who we were and the general vibe of our elopement. Louise mad us feel comfortable, and that we had known her for a long time. Louise was very professional using her time with us wisely, scheduling right for lighting, getting us a preview next day and getting us the completed photos to us even sooner than she had quoted. Since we didn't have our family there, our pictures meant a lot to us. People can't stop telling us how AMAZING our wedding photos are and how it made them feel like they were actually there that night. People keep saying: "who was that photographer?!". We describe our wedding as magic - we had a rainbow, wind, and rain all out in the amazing New Mexican desert. Our wedding wouldn't have been the same without Louise.

    Louise and Mollie were absolutely amazing to work with on our wedding day! They made everything so perfect and stress free. They captured every moment perfectly and the photos came back stunning. Would highly recommend M&E for any occasion. Pictures are beautiful and people are incredibly professional and great to work with!

    Louise with M&E Photography did such a fabulous job as our wedding photographers! She made the whole experience very comfortable, which is hard to do, not to mention the pictures turned out better than I could have ever imagined. Nothing felt scripted or weird, and I seriously can't speak highly enough of the quality of the work she did.

    We couldn't have been happier with our choice to book with M&E. We loved our engagement pictures and loved our wedding photos even more!! I wanted the photos to be candid and capture the intimate moments and feelings through the day and Emily totally delivered! We constantly get complements on how beautiful our pictures turned out and how unique they are. They perfectly captured our personalities and emotions, and the end product were pictures unique to us and not "cookie cutter" wedding photos. Hiring M&E was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding, the pictures were amazing and working with them was effortless, I highly recommend M&E!

    Mollie and her second-shooter Jaime are amazing! These ladies are friendly, professional, and overall very talented. We were pleasantly surprised by all of the little moments they were able to capture in the photos. Their documentary-style was exactly what we were looking for... every detail of the story of our wedding day was captured. As a plus, Mollie's really quick— we got our photos back in under a month. We honestly couldn't be happier with the overall experience and the end product. We feel so lucky to have had M&E as our photographers!

    Working with Louise through our engagement and wedding celebrations was an incredible experience. I was initially drawn to M&E Photo because of the way they capture and utilize natural light in their images in a breath-taking way. After meeting with Louise I knew I wanted to work with her. She was very responsive to questions and detailed in planning which put me at ease knowing that the vision we had would be beautifully captured. I appreciated being able to piece together what I wanted as far as the photography package, our reception was not the same day as our ceremony so traditional packages would not have worked for our unique celebration. We never felt pressured to do an engagement session (other photographers didn’t give us an option not to) but I’m so glad we did. Neither my husband or I really enjoy having our picture taken so I’m glad we have professional images of us in regular clothing. The engagement session also helped us to get comfortable with getting our picture taken and posing in a way that looks natural and is honest to our personalities. I also felt more at ease on our wedding day having done the engagement session. My husband and I opted for a second photographer for our big day, and we were glad we did. Both photographers captured so many moments that we weren’t even aware of because we were so busy making sure all the details came together. We were also incredibly happy that we purchased an album. The design and quality is impeccable and such a wonderful way to revisit the memories from our wedding. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and am so appreciative of all Louise and M&E Photo Studio did to make our wedding truly unforgettable.

    We chose M&E Photo Studio right away after viewing their online portfolios. We wanted to remember our wedding day forever and the best way to capture that is to hire a fantastic wedding photographer! Our mission was for candid in-the-moment photos that captured our personalities, not a bunch of formal traditional poses. We loved the detail she captured in décor, venue, etc. Emily Louise, our photographer and co-owner is fun, professional, artistic, talented, and passionate. When we first met with Emily Louise, she put us at ease and we immediately felt comfortable. I highly recommended M&E Photo Studio for any of your photography needs!

    We were so happy to have M&E Photo Studio do our wedding! They were absolutely amazing and there are no words to describe just how wonderful and happy we were with our decision to have these ladies photograph a day we will remember for the rest of our lives.

    Mollie and Emily went above and beyond making our day perfect. Thy caught so many great moments and paid close attention to many details throughout the day. They were wel organized before the event and made me feel very comfortable going into the day. They took my itinerary and worked around that, and when we got off schedule they were super flexible. I would highly recommend them to all brides. The pictures
    turned out wonderfully. My husband and I are both artisticaly talented and we were both very pleased with M&E's work!

    Emily was exactly what we wanted in a wedding day photographer -- she captured all the emotion of the day and made looking back through her photos feel just like re-living the whole experience. She is soft-spoken but assertive; she easily controlled our large and rowdy families for portrait time. We went to a spot for a first look that wound up being much too bright for her to take good quality photos, and we really, really appreciated her willingness to improvise on the day of to make sure we got unforgettable, perfect pictures. As a note to other women prone to picture double chins (as I am), Emily coached me on how to tilt my head and position my face to get the most flattering angle. Her attention to detail in that way was impeccable! If you are on the fence about money, don't be -- these photos will truly stand the test of time, and I am so glad we invested in a high quality, creative, talented photographer. I can't say enough good things about M&E, and I don't really have to, because the pictures speak for themselves :)

    For our Sunday brunch wedding, we were looking for a photographer who would capture the light-hearted, bright and fun atmosphere of the day. M&E Photography did just that. Their photojournalist style was exactly what we were looking for, and they delivered wonderful candid images that perfectly reflected the emotions, details and spirit of the day. We can't help but grin each time we look through our photos, as they help us and our families relive the happy day.

    Emily was awesome, guiding us through our planning as it related to photography. The day of, Emily and Chris were both highly responsive - finding the best shots, and moving us along to make sure we got everything in, but still being flexible and not stressing us out! The finished product was perfect. Emily really made our wedding colors pop right off the page. The shots they got were awesome, and the editing of the photos was top notch. The photos (and photographers) were one of our favorite aspects of our wedding. I couldn't recommend M&E Photo Studios any higher.
