ABOUT
Your wedding day is YOUR day! It should be just that! I strive to create the best possible experience as these are the images you will be looking back on for years to come. My second shooter and myself call ourselves the dream team, we are there to hype you up, help with the small details, and jump right in when you need something as well as capture all those small moments in-between! We aren’t there just to capture your memories, but make your day as memorable as possible. We are with you the from the start until the end, so you should have someone by your side you can trust.
Choosing vendors is a crucial step in the wedding planning process so I would love to sit down and chat over coffee or even dinner and see if we would be a good fit!

MEET THE OWNER
Like most photographers, I got started at a early age. Spending most weekends at the local motocross tracks, I always found myself with a camera in hand taking pictures of the bikes, track, spectators, whatever came my way. It progressively grew as a passion. The more I learned, the more I fell in love with the art of photography. It then transitioned into my love for portraits! Can’t wait to chat!

REVIEWS
The best!!!
We chose Heather for our wedding photography because not only are her pictures amazing but she is super personable. We just took our engagement pictures with her & she not only got us sneak peeks right away but got our pictures to us super fast. The pictures are fabulous and I am looking forward to her taking our wedding pics!

Amazing photographer
Heather did our wedding in 2018, we did engagement photos first and she did amazing. Flash forward to now and she has done my maternity photos, newborn photos, 6 month, one year and now holiday pictures. To say she does an excellent job is an understatement. You can’t go wrong with cottonwood photography. Not only is she amazing at photography, she’s very easy to get along with.

Highly recommend!!
Heather photographed my best friends wedding. I was a bridesmaid. Heather was very professional and clear about the timing and when/ where/ how photos were being taken. She was super creative with her poses and angles. I was so impressed that I booked her for my holiday photos! 10/10 recommend!

My husband and I chose Heather to do both our engagement and wedding photos. To say I’m impressed after seeing her work would be an understatement! She is very talented at what she does, and the best part is we had so much fun while having our photos taken! I would recommend her highly!! She is very professional, flexible, and timely when replying back to all of my questions. My husband and I have already decided when it’s time to have newborn/family pictures taken in the future she is who we will use! 10/10 recommend!

When the photographer I had used for years couldn’t do my wedding I went into full panic mode. That quickly faded when I found Heather! She was so easy to work with and her quality of work is incredible! Since my wedding we have used her multiple times! I can’t recommend her enough

I was introduced to Heather while browsing the KC wedding photography industry. I was in search of somebody who was able to see my vision and make it come true. She did just that. I am so thankful that I had her by my side during the whole process. She was fantastic at communicating. She always listened to any crazy ideas or thoughts that popped into my head. From the very beginning, I could see just how dedicated she was to her job and to her clients. Even when I had the crazy idea of having our engagement photos in a foot of snow! She gladly put on her boots and stomped her way into the woods with me in below freezing weather. Those were my favorite photos we had ever taken, up until our wedding. When it came to our wedding day, we were so impressed. She was such a joy to have around. It was like we had known her for years, and she was a loved one we were so happy to have next to us through the best day of our lives. The photos turned out AMAZING! I'm in awe at her talent. Truly phenomenal. So to end this I would like to say if you are looking for somebody who is extremely professional, but is also very personable.. Don't wait. Cottonwood Photography is the one for you.

We found Heather at a bridal expo in KC and we were lucky to have found her. Heather was very communicative during the entire process and great to work with. She was extremely helpful day of the wedding and worked perfectly with other vendors and the venue staff. Heather knew of great locations to obtain photos close to our venue and made sure that everyone was in their perfect spot and pose for photos. She was great to have around along with her assistant. Highly recommend her services to everyone!

Heather was great to work with. She kept us all on schedule the day of the wedding, and helped me not stress out about anything. Our wedding photos turned out amazing🤍 I couldn’t have asked for anything more!
