McKayla Brady

Owner

My name is McKayla Brady and I’m from Kansas City, MO. I discovered my passion for photography at a young age while taking photos on our family vacations, then later honed my technical skills though photography classes at Lees Summit West High School, and UMKC college. After capturing wedding photos professionally for over five years, I’ve discovered something I’m truly passionate about that can help make your special memories everlasting. I always feel so honored to be a part of every wedding that I shoot! When I’m not taking photos, I like to swim, go to concerts, spend time with my cats, and play the drums!

We were thrilled with the experience we had with McKayla at Missing Piece KC as our wedding photographer! From the very first meeting, she made us feel completely at ease with her ...

warm and personal approach. She took the time to understand our vision and captured every moment perfectly, exceeding all of our expectations. On the day of the wedding, McKayla was a calm and steady presence, blending seamlessly into the background while still managing to catch every detail. Her ability to capture the raw emotion, candid moments, and the beautiful details of the day was truly impressive. We especially loved the way she made sure to capture both the big moments and the small, intimate ones that we’ll treasure forever. The quality of the photos is nothing short of stunning. Each image is beautifully composed, and the editing is flawless. We’ve received so many compliments on the photos and can’t stop looking at them ourselves! McKayla delivered the final gallery in a timely manner, and we were so happy with how quickly we could relive our special day. We highly recommend McKayla to anyone looking for a photographer in KC who is not only incredibly talented but also a joy to work with. She has a true gift for capturing the essence of a moment, and we couldn’t have asked for a better photographer to document our wedding. Thank you, McKayla, for helping us create lasting memories that we’ll cherish forever!

We have 2 daughters, one of which was recently married and the other is scheduled to wed soon. From several options, we chose McKayla and Missing Piece KC to photograph the wedding...

event, and she did an outstanding job---far better, frankly, than we could have expected. Most importantly, while she did a fabulous job, the VALUE was most impressive. She charged us less than the other options and delivered the goods! The work product and professionalism was fantastic. We couldn't recommend McKayla any more effusively. If you have an upcoming wedding, or other meaningful event for which you want to secure photographic memories, I think it would be unfortunate to bypass this tremendous value.

the loop every step of the way and was always quick to answer our questions or concerns. My wife and I can be a bit camera-shy, but McKayla made us feel completely comfortable in front of the lens. She created such a relaxed atmosphere, helped us with posing, and hyped us up the whole time. As an LGBTQ+ couple, finding someone who not only accepts but celebrates who we are was so important to us, and McKayla exceeded all expectations. Her warmth and support made us feel seen and valued in every moment. The photos are absolutely stunning—McKayla truly captured the love and joy of our day in a way that feels authentic to us. On top of that, she made the process of accessing and sharing our photos so easy, which has been a huge bonus. If you’re looking for a photographer who combines professionalism with a genuine, personal touch, we can’t recommend McKayla highly enough. She made our special day even more special, and we’re so grateful for her!

hing you are wanting while going over your list. Has the best dark and moody look for photos that I was looking for! I’m a photographer myself and I was so picky and she hit it on the spot. I can’t say enough how easy she was to work with. So easy to communicate with, girl got my photos back SO fast. Just yes! Hire her, you won’t regret it.
