About

We are Salt & Light Photography, a husband and wife team dedicated to giving you an incredible experience as you embark on the most exciting journey of your life! Weddings last only a day, but the memories live on for generations. That is why we feel it is vital to find a photographer who can deliver you a stunning portfolio of moments and emotion captured in time which reflect your individual personalities and how those manifest in your relationship. Like any living being, each relationship is unique, and we aim to tailor our products and services to bring out the essence of your love for each other.

Salt and Light Photography was born from Rachel Holt’s love for serving others and the art of photography. In 2007, Rachel shot her first wedding, fell in love with photography, and hasn’t stopped serving happy couples like you ever since. In 2010 Austin officially joined the Salt and Light team. He not only leads the business side of things, but also brings a talented, unique, and fun aspect to your wedding experience. He grew up watching his Father in the film industry and also offers a distinct video background to provide yet another means to capture your special day. Through their experience in planning their own wedding, Austin & Rachel realized the great need for exceptional photographers who go the extra mile and also understand how to provide you with a stress-free experience. Today, Salt & Light is one of Kansas City’s premier wedding and portrait photographers with countless weddings shot in the past 6 years. Both Austin and Rachel are published photographers who strive to consistently deliver quality work, and treat their clients like family.

Salt and Light Photography is the very definition of amazing!! They are not just photographers, they are friends to all they meet, and a great calm in the storm!!! The wedding day is stressful enough with out having to think about whether you are going to have good photos to remember this once in a lifetime event. Salt and Light did an amazing job of capturing our real and beautiful moments, and the blissful time as an hours newly married couple in a way that is beyond words. My wife and I have memories that we didn't even think about being able to keep forever and yet we have them. Thanks to this couple we have a lot to look back on!!! I would recommend them as a first choice for anyone wanting to have a fairy tale memory of their wedding!

Look no further, Salt & Light Photography is the best!! Austin and Rachel are organized, professional, and so easy to work with. They made me feel at ease going into the big day! The pictures captured all of the very special moments with friends and family. I seriously could not have asked for better people to be part of my wedding! And the wedding album is the icing on the cake, perfect!!

Rachel and Austin were wonderful! Our wedding pictures turned out amazing and I can't wait to share them with our family and friends! They not only took fabulous pictures of our wedding day but Rachel helped me to layout a timeline of the day to make sure that everything went smoothly. They are both so nice and so easy to work with! Our wedding party still talks about how nice they are and how much they liked them! They are both there so not a moment of your day is missed and they have a lot of fun creative ideas for photos. They will become not only your photographers but also your friends. Now we have both wonderful engagement and wedding photos to cherish for a lifetime thanks to Salt and Light Photography.

The best photographers any one could ask for went above and beyond the whole time. I would highly recommend them to anyone that is looking to have their wedding photographs top notch. They got some of the best photo moments you could ask for.

Austin and Rachel played an absolutely pivotal role in making every aspect of our wedding day perfect. Looking back my wife and I are certain that we could not have had the best day of our lives without the help of these two extraordinary people.
We first met with Austin and Rachel for coffee to casually get to know one another, as well as discuss our upcoming wedding. As the conversation progressed my wife and I became thoroughly convinced that no other company could match the sense of professionalism, dedication, character, and most of all comfort during the wedding process. We knew in our hearts that these were genuine people that would do their absolute best to help us, and our family and friends, make our wedding perfect.
There are many moving parts and intricate details involved with planning and executing each couple's "perfect" wedding. All of the tasks, scheduling, family dynamics, and other variables can become a lot to juggle. Austin and Rachel transcend their role as photographers to take care of whatever is necessary to make the entire process as smooth and efficient as possible.
Once the vows have been read and the celebration fades, the couples who work with Austin and Rachel will know that Salt and Light Photography was the right choice. They will exceed your expectations and forge a friendship that will last well beyond the wedding day.

Absolutely phenomenal service! The photo's we received from our wedding day were amazing! They were flexible and understanding during the entire wedding day. I remember how crazy that day was and how the venue we booked was terrible and didn't deliver anything they had promised. However, Light and Salt photography went above and beyond and I felt like they were family. I will never book another photographer except for Light and Salt photography!

Austin and Rachel are amazing photographers and even better people. They really take a personal note in their work and it shows in the results. Our pictures are gorgeous and it was a blast hanging out with Austin before and during the wedding. He did a great job of fitting in with the guys seeming more like a friend making it easy to be yourself. We have had many comments on how good our pictures turned out and are very happy we went with Salt and Light! I definitely recommend them to any couple looking for a next level wedding photographer.

Rachel and Austin are some of the most dedicated, professional, and personable photographers out there . Not only will they take beautiful photos, they will also assist you in outlining your day and help make your vision a reality. Salt & Light is the best investment you can make. My husband and I will continue to use them to photograph the significant moments in our lives, and greatly look forward to doing so too. You will be nothing short of ecstatic with everything they do.
