Bailey Pianalto Photography

by far. Bailey has every part of her business down to a T. She is a fantastic communicator, provides amazing resources, and helps as you select engagement photo outfits and colors, wedding day details. She truly just has thought of everything! My husband and I really never had professional photos taken and we were so glad to do an engagement shoot with Bailey to help us get more comfortable in front of the camera and play around with poses. This SERIOUSLY helped us on our wedding day and we looked and felt much more comfortable that time around now that we had experience. Bailey made our wedding day fun and I cannot believe how good our pictures turned out! Her turnaround time is INSANE as well. She had already edited a few photos during dinner at our wedding to show us and had our full album completed within 2 weeks. Bailey loves her couples and really supported us all the way through engagement to wedding (over a year's time) we couldn't have asked for a better photographer. Thank you Bailey!

autiful. I was drawn to them for the light & airy feel. The best part is that she delivers ALL wedding photos within 2 weeks. We had a sneak peek before our reception was even close to over. She's the best.

d out so amazing (I have gotten an endless number of comments on how great our wedding photos turned out). On the day of our wedding, she gave us such amazing instruction on how to look our best, and I honestly think this even further enhanced how our pictures turned out. Plus, Bailey is just so fun to hang out with, and was such a great add to our wedding day! As one final plug for Bailey, if you're deciding between her and someone else, we had to reschedule our wedding date and location due to covid, and having worked with two different photographers, I feel very confident saying that Bailey is best in class all around. I can't stop looking at our photos!

nts perfectly. Bailey is so friendly and immediately makes you feel at ease. Her communication throughout the engagement was wonderful & she was more than willing to help with any questions. She was very organized and had a timeline for the wedding day & she kept us all on track so comfortably. It was a perfect day and we are so thankful that Bailey captured the precious memories for us. Can’t say enough great things about her & her photos!

orried about a thing. She helped in any way she could to make our day special. Family members, bridal party, and venue staff commented on how effortless she made our photography sessions throughout the day get completed. Her positive and fun personality made it so enjoyable! The night of our wedding, she had a display of "sneak-peek" photos that were taken earlier in the day playing on an iPad during our reception. It was incredible that she was able to create a slideshow that quickly! Her photos are STUNNING!!!! I get compliments on a daily basis about her work. I truly give her the highest recommendation out there. You won't be disappointed :)

e in both our engagement and wedding photos, Bailey took the lemons handed to us as our wedding plans crumbled in March due to COVID-19 and helped us make lemonade. She was supportive, willing, flexible, understanding, and so many other things while we basically planned three different weddings in a matter of a week. Bailey made every effort to work though our struggles and captured a day and a story which we will never forget. We will treasure our memories and the crazy story surrounding our wedding forever. I also have to mention how much better quarantine was due to the crazy quick turnaround time Bailey is able to deliver a final gallery of images. Had we been able to go on our honeymoon, we would have been welcomed back home with our final gallery, that's how fast she is!

We loved her work and admired everything she posted online. We completely fell in love with her natural style of photography and the ability to capture the beauty in a moment. During our engagement photo session in May 2019, the weather was not on our side, we had to reschedule our original session! On our rescheduled day we didn't have much better luck, but we had Baliey, she was perfect with making the best of the weather by having back up locations and taking advantage of breaks in the weather. We even got the perfect picture of us inside Union Station with no one else around. It was perfect. As our 3/21/20 wedding date approached, Coronavirus restrictions were starting to be implemented. With each passing day leading up to the big day and more restrictions changing our plans, she kept in touch daily to talk about changes in plans. She was so prepared to be flexible with everything. On the big day, she made sure to capture all the bliss of our small ceremony with family. Capturing photos of the first look, family portraits, the ceremony, and even photos around town. With all the additional stress that was happening she made it such a breeze. Since Coronavirus restrictions were going to be limiting the reception side of the event, we ended up postponing the reception. She kept in touch with us as we were trying to reschedule the reception and picking a new date. Once we locked in our new date, she made sure that she was available for Round 2 of the wedding and set aside that date for us. This time has been hard on many couples but she has been amazing to work with during all of this. We could not have a better person working to capture our love and being our personal cheerleader in hard times.

e pictures already. I’d highly recommend her to use as your photographer!!

She doesn’t overload herself with a wedding every weekend. Due to this she gets to know the couple she works with, takes her time to get the best photos, and produces quality work. After working with her for the past year it is like she is part of the family. We currently live in Tulsa and attempting to plan a wedding from another state was challenging. Bailey was flexible and gave us plenty of options on times to meet. This allowed us to plan accordingly. I have been in 9 weddings and most of the time wedding days are stressful. Everyone in our wedding party commented on how fun and personable Bailey was. Many of them didn’t know each other were making the same comments. Everyone enjoyed taking photos! She even worked great with the little ones. Three weeks before our wedding we gave birth to our little girl. Bailey took the time out of her week and squeezed in a new born session before our wedding. This was something she didn’t have to do or could have had us come up a different time. We really appreciated Bailey wanting to do this for us. One thing we loved is Bailey took us back to the spot where we did our engagement session. It is so sweet to have the same photos of us as a engaged couple and us with our baby girl. I would highly recommend any couple getting married to use Bailey. We will be making many trips to KC in our future to have Bailey capture our growing family.

she did such a great job. She is a fun, creative, talented woman that is incredible to work with. We got so many compliments from our wedding party saying how great she was to work with during our day. Not to mention, her fast turnaround - my husband and I, along with our guests, were so impressed with Bailey's sneak peak during our reception. Our photos are everything I've ever wanted my wedding photos to be, and I am so grateful to Bailey.

did Bailey take the time to get to know us as a couple but also checked on us throughout our planning process and gave us great vendor recommendations. She has an incredible eye and such a timeless, natural style. The photos she gave us were incredible. We have received SO many compliments not only on the photos but about Bailey and her second for our wedding, Cassie themselves. You will not regret booking with Bailey!

photographer through Bailey really paid off, I have not noticed many pictures from the second photographer. I was a bit disappointed with our family formals as they seemed a bit rushed and placement was off. We had wanted to stick to about an hour for all formal pictures, but if it meant the pictures would have been better, I would have totally been all for it. Don't get me wrong, ALL of our photos except the family formals were great!

used a personal touch to let me know she really was listening when we chatted. From start to finish she made everything so easy! I planned my wedding from another state/time zone but she was always available when I reached out. She helped our true personalities come out in all of our pictures and that’s just the engagement photos! I had no idea what to expect for my wedding but once again, she was ready and made everything so easy and FUN!!! She even sent me a sneak peeks the next day! Bailey is the sweetest person ever and I’m so sad my wedding is over because I LOVE working with her! Trust me she’s worth it!

erything that she did was planned and tailored to us. Throughout all of my many questions she always had an answer and new ideas. Even though I’m sure she had a million other things going on, I felt like I was her main priority. If you’re on the fence about an engagement session, do it! It was the best way for us to work with Bailey and “practice” being in front of a camera. My husband and I are not naturals when it comes to this type of thing but Bailey walked us through it and made it so fun and easy. Fast forward to wedding day. Bailey is a ROCKSTAR. She arrived on time, stayed on schedule and made sure all of my must-haves were taken care of. She was flexible and stayed over-time to make sure everything we wanted was captured. Bailey is a hoot! We had multiple people tell us after and during the wedding how much fun and how great she was! We were so happy that we were able to laugh, dance and enjoy our greatest day with her. Her quality of photos are amazing. We will be able to cherish our wedding day photos that include all of our family and friends forever. She truly captured our day and captured who we are as a couple. Not to mention, her turn around time after the wedding is super fast. Bailey is the perfect amount of professional and fun. She gets the job done (and gets it done exceedingly well) but she has the best time doing it. Her talent and eye for detail blows me away. She is a kind and genuine human being, which is the icing on the cake. With Bailey we have found a friend and a photographer for life.

ee her pictures and they are bright and fun and natural. It was the perfect combo, and was a no brainer that we wanted her for our engagement and wedding photos. She is by far the best money we spent for the wedding! We had family and friends talk non-stop about how great the photos turned out, and I know we will look back at them for years to come! Bailey is THE BEST!

spent time getting to know us as a couple and listening to our input throughout the whole experience. She also put in countless hours after photographing us working to perfect our pictures and get them to us promptly. On our wedding day she collaborated with our other vendors to make sure everything went smoothly. I would highly recommend Bailey to anyone who needs a photographer.

g photos turned out! Having great pictures to remember our special day was our #1 priority. As a mixed couple, lighting for pictures can be tricky- but now for the first time we have amazing black and white photos and photos taken outside at night! After seeing how our engagement photos turned out, we also asked Bailey to photograph our rehearsal dinner as well! We were also impressed with the time Bailey took with us prior to our engagement photo shoot, and our wedding. She also created a timeline for our wedding day centered around what we wanted to capture. I am so thankful Bailey is so great with kids, my 2-year old nephew is looking at the camera and smiling in every photo. We are, without a doubt, going to hire Bailey for every big event and family photos in the future!

personal decision as they are sharing and capturing your most intimate moments of your life. With Bailey we truly felt comfortable and at ease throughout our entire planning process and the event. Not only is she talented on capturing the moment, she helped schedule out our day and made it stress free for everyone involved. Truly amazing talent, everyone loved the photos she took, and we would highly recommend anyone to talk with her for your special day. Thank you Bailey for everything!

rfect perfect for us. She always kept our vision for the photos in mind and made it easy for us on the wedding day. She was even able to give us an sneak peak of the photos during the wedding and we were able to share them with our guests at the bar. I would definitely recommend Bailey for any wedding and engagement .

eed it looked great, so we met, and everything was wonderful after that. She brought more of her stunning work to the meeting as well as all her pricing options. She worked with us to meet in Lawrence, KS to take pictures for our engagement photos and continued to work with us in the rain back in KC during that same photo shoot. The engagement pictures were amazing, and so easy to access and print from. My mother, who is not great at using technology, even found it easy to print the pictures from her gallery! She is great at personal touches, too, such as personalized wedding coasters when we met to discuss the wedding timeline! Then on our wedding day she braved the weather again, this time 10 inches of snow, to travel to my apartment downtown KC and then out past Lee's Summit to Powell Gardens to capture all the moments of that day. Her assistant, Cassie, also braved the snow to travel to Belton, MO to capture the groom and groomsmen getting ready, too. She was ready to capture all the photos of the day and helped us all get ready for posed pictures and more natural pictures. During the wedding, she prepared a sneak peek of the photos and pulled us aside to show us together our day. Then she put those sneak peek pictures on display at the bar for the guests to see! I had multiple guests comment about how they loved that detail! She was absolutely amazing, and I cannot wait to see the rest of the photos in about a week! Bailey is a joy to work with, and I would recommend her to every bride!

quaintance and I kind of went on blind faith. All I had to go on were some photo examples and one person's word. Such a scary thing when you're planning a wedding! However, losing our first photographer turned out to be such a blessing in disguise! Our unique theme of a Halloween wedding was so well received by Bailey and she sought out an amazing first look spot for us. We have these hauntingly beautiful photos with a "picture perfect" (pun intended) fall background. I can't get enough of them! I keep scrolling through them over and over. On top of being skilled at her job, Bailey is also a very genuine person. You can tell that she is sincere and thoughtful when she is going through the planning process with you. I will be recommending her anytime someone mentions the word photographer!

ones that I had sent her for inspiration for our engagement pictures, which made me feel like our shoot was customized to us. My mom and I met her at a bridal show, and we are so thankful we did!! We can't wait for her to shoot our wedding!

as so cool, calm, and collected and helped organize our day to make it a true success. She was fun, easy to work with, great at communicating, and just an overall pleasure to work with. I don't know if I can sing her praises enough in terms of ease of just working with her. Her photos are absolutely stunning and she had a sneak peek for us to look at THE NEXT DAY! If you are debating about who to hire, stop right now and hire Bailey. You won't be sorry that you did!

wedding date, even with the long distance, we had multiple phone calls to touch base and answer any questions on either end so we both were on the same page and understood each other. That was in addition to email contact and quick responses anytime I had a question. She was very organized and got all of the information from me ahead of time as far as vendors, a schedule for the day, pictures I wanted, any family pictures that were requested in addition to the wedding party, and what I was looking for out of the day and my pictures. She also came up early to visit the area and get an idea of the venue and what it offered for possibilities. All of this made the day of so easy and stress free!! She was very organized and detailed when taking the pictures and helped make us look natural and beautiful in the setting. Both my husband and I were very grateful for all of the direction she gave. There were no moments of uncertainty, and everything was so efficient. Once one group was done we were ready to keep going and had no problems finishing pictures in the time frame allotted. She also had the pictures back to me quickly in an online format that was easy to use and view and through which I was able to share and purchase my photos. Add to that the most important factor, all of the pictures were gorgeous and captured our special day and the Alaskan setting perfectly! It’s been hard to choose favorites to print as I love so many of them! Bailey was amazing, professional, organized, efficient, and made the whole thing so stress free and fun!!

that were not on my radar. We greatly appreciated her attention to detail and willingness to travel. If you live in the Kansas City area or are in need of a destination photographer, Bailey is your girl!

ment photos, and I have also scheduled her for my Bridal portraits! So thankful to have a friend that is great at photography!

ied! Bailey comes prepared with ideas and shots she has in mind, but she is open to any suggestions. She is efficient and organized. Most importantly she takes gorgeous photos! My husband and I are always amazed at the incredible shots she sends us. Bailey is the real deal.

asy to work with, organized, and always has great advice! We are so lucky to have Bailey as part of our big day!

it into a fun and unique shot. Bailey is not only an incredibly skilled and creative photographer- She has a personality that you can’t help but love and makes great photographer; she’s the perfect combination of laid back (which helps makes her subjects relax and trust her), organized (she did her homework ahead of time and created a flowing schedule that worked perfectly), driven (she had sneak peek photos to us within hours of our shoot and the final album within two weeks!), fun (we had so much fun with her shooting our engagement shots in KC and our wedding photos in the Bahamas!), and to top it all off she has a wicked sense of humor! Give Bailey a call, you won’t regret it!
