Kansas City Wedding Venue Blog Series – The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art

It is no secret that I adore the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art. This goes WAY back to my childhood taking classes in the summer and then continued as I completed my Master’s Thesis for Art Museum Education from KU working closely with the education department at the Nelson. I always figured I would somehow do work at this beautiful space, and although it has turned out to be a little bit different than I had imagined when I was studying for my Masters Degree, I really DO get to work in this beautiful space every year! What an amazing place to have a wedding. Kali and Adam love this iconic Kansas City space too and when they contacted me to film their wedding here I was beyond thrilled to help them. They were one of the first couples to have their wedding ceremony on the grounds of the Nelson and it was perfect! The reception in this beautiful space was stunning and their guests had a wonderful time!

Here is a little highlight featuring this amazing space and this sweet couple. Make sure you check out the interview below from the Event Planning Team over at the museum! This wedding is featured in the Summer 2017 issue of The Knot – so you will have to check that out on your newsstand.

Bourgmont Vineyard – Simple Elegance Styled Shoot – Kansas City Weddings

When Kindra approached me to shoot this styled shoot in a new venue and vineyard in Kansas City I jumped on the opportunity. Bourgmont Vineyard is beautiful and will be even more stunning once the grapes begin to mature. They offer a beautiful and spacious home for the family to get ready in and the renovated stable is stunning and can hold 350. There is a lovely pond and gardens for an outdoor ceremony and I could just imagine a sweet couple saying their vows on this sprawling estate. It was raining the day of the shoot, but we had a break in the weather long enough to get some great shots outside!
Make sure you check out May’s issue of Johnson County Lifestyle Magazine. They featured Kindra and her amazing work with Simple Elegance and a rockstar team of KC professionals!

St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church, KCMO – Ascend Service

Good Friday seems like a great time to share this little film we made a few months back for the good folks at St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church. We have shot many weddings and a couple baptisms at St. Andrew’s and were thrilled to help them put this video together. It was a beautiful service.

Kansas City Video Production – Jet.com – culture highlight

Did you know we do a great deal of corporate video as well as weddings? Well, we do! This was a fun peek inside the culture of Jet.com – we LOVED helping them tell their story of what the culture inside this HUGE operation was like! Loved the energy of these employees! What a fun place to work!


Loved the review that they left us too!
“Creative Films created an internal video for our company. We wanted something that illustrated our culture to potential candidates, as well as new employees we were taking through orientation. We had a quick turnaround for the project because we wanted to show it at an upcoming event. She exceeded all expectations. She took time to actually understand our culture and learn about our business. She made all of the employees that she shot feel very comfortable. Even with the quick deadline, she was able to create something that we are extremely proud of and have shared throughout our entire organization. I will be using Maura again for future videos and highly recommend her.”

Thanks Jet!

Kansas City Wedding Video – The Brass on Baltimore & Visitation Catholic Church

“Joy is about the deep rooted conviction that the way you are living your life is a very good way to spend a life. And the person you’ve chosen to spend it with is the RIGHT person to spend a life with.”

I adore these words from Fr. at Mike and Michelle’s wedding ceremony. This wedding weekend was so full of emotion and meaning as Michelle and her family had lost their Dad just a few months from this day. I am so very thankful we were able to be there to help them preserve all these amazing moments and words that are so fleeting.
