Thanks to recommendations from couples on The Knot
Hi! I'm Sydney, and I am Taylor Made Photo KC. Like, TMPKC is literally me. When you inquire with me, send me an email, DM me on socials, it's always me responding. I am here for you from inquiry to booking to engagement to wedding to whatever else you have planned for your life. I've been told time and time again to 'niche down' and pick a lane for my photography, but the truth is that if I get to know you as a newly engaged couple and then a newlywed couple, I'm going to want to be your photographer for life.
My absolute favorite part of being a photographer is capturing you in every stage of your life. I get to know you, then you two. I get to celebrate your engagement and then your wedding. I get to see your family grow and then thrive.
But for your wedding day, I am your photographer, bouncer/bodyguard, third wheel, cheerleader, and documentarian. And I'll be whatever else you need me to be. That teacher voice still comes in handy! (I was a teacher for 9 years before becoming a full-time photographer).
In your TMPKC wedding gallery, you will see the important moments, the once-in-a-lifetime moments, the in-between emotional moments, the details, the photos you pinned on Pinterest, and the photos you didn't know you wanted and then you saw them and realized you NEEDED them.
My goal is that when you look at your full gallery, you will see everything you wanted, everything you didn't know you wanted, and see every detail, every moment, every emotion.
And for our relationship? I'll be what you need me to be. I can be the fly on the wall. I can be your hype woman. I can (and want to!) be your best friend. I can be the historian. I'm a people pleaser at heart, and I'll be who you need me to be while capturing the most incredible images from your day.

I'm Sydney! I'm based in Kansas City but I will travel anywhere to capture love being celebrated! Knowing that wedding photos will be cherished forever and looked back on countless times through a couple's life is something I do not take lightly. I consider myself incredibly lucky to be able to spend such an important day with my couples and then deliver a beautiful gallery with images of all the big and little and perfect and imperfect moments for their wedding day. Believe me when I say that your wedding day is the highlight of my year. And I treat it as such. Let's get you married!

Sydney is friendly, funny, and creative with her art. When she photographed me and my wife's wedding, it felt less like we were being photographed by a stranger and more like we were being photographed by a new friend. My wife and I aren't people who usually seek out attention for ourselves--we prefer to mingle in a group rather than be center stage--so I wasn't sure how being photographed would feel, but Sydney is very talented at making you feel comfortable and enjoy yourself during a shoot. Not only was she a hit with us, but she was also a hit with friends and family! Some of our guests even asked us afterward how long we had known our photographer, assuming that we were longtime friends.
In terms of the actual photographs, Sydney gave us everything we wanted and then some. She has an eye for both arranging photos and for capturing candid moments as they came up. You'll love being able to go through the pictures Sydney gives you and see moments that you were too busy to catch on the day. She'll also make the moments you do remember sparkle. Her knack for classy black and white filters was especially nice.
We loved having Sydney photograph our wedding and hope we can hire for other special occasions in the future. You can't go wrong working with her!

Sydney was amazing! She helped with so much beyond photographing! She had a great schedule on our wedding day & I never had to worry about a thing! She was so kind about getting people where they needed to be for pictures all while doing it in great time. We received our photos in such great time, also! We would recommend Sydney 1000 times over!

Sydney was so amazing to work with. I first found her on Tiktok. The first video I watched was of her demonstrating her photoshop skills of a person who had their eyes closed in a group photo. I scrolled through her page and loved her work, so I decided to reach out even though I didn’t know where she was located. Even though she was 6 hours away, she agreed to be our photographer! She was so helpful throughout the wedding planning process and would bounce ideas back and forth with me. We even facetimed and talked about visions of the day from start to finish. Her timeline draft she provided me was the backbone of my wedding planning. Not only were her photos absolutely breathtaking, but I had a sneak peak within 24 hours and all 3000 photos within a week. She was very professional, kind, helpful, energetic, and so friendly. My wedding party raved about how fun and talented she is! My wedding photos were my number one priority when it came to vendors and I am so grateful we chose each other.

Sydney is my new favorite human other than my new husband! She was recommended to me by a colleague and I am so happy we found and booked her. She’s not only a phenomenal photographer but a lovely human who went above and beyond her duties as a photographer to ensure everything was perfect for our wedding. She helped with timeline planning, attended our final walkthrough, and could practically read my mind and was one step ahead of me the whole day of our wedding. She posted sneak peeks throughout the night and had even more photos to share less than 48 hours after. She is so talented and we love her!!

I have done four different sessions (family, engagement, wedding, and pregnancy announcement) with Sydney and can't wait to book her again for my next life event. Sydney made me and my family feel comfortable during every session, and I didn't have to worry about how to pose or how I looked while in front of her camera. If you have pets and want to include them in your photos Sydney is very accommodating and welcoming to pets. My wedding photos taken by Sydney will forever be my favorite pictures ever taken!
