Let's make different happen for you
At Rivas Weddings, we're more than just wedding photographers. We're storytellers. We believe that every couple is unique, and their wedding day should reflect that. We're passionate about capturing the real moments, the authentic emotions, and the raw energy of your special day.
Our Story
We're Kyle and Melissa, a husband-and-wife duo with over a decade of experience in the wedding industry. We've had the privilege of capturing the love stories of countless couples in Kansas City and beyond. We're committed to making every couple feel seen, heard, and celebrated on their special day.
Our Philosophy
We're not about cookie-cutter wedding photography. We believe in embracing the unexpected, taking risks, and capturing the genuine moments that make your wedding day truly yours. We're not interested in recreating the same tired poses and locations that every other couple is using. We want to create something new, something fresh, and something that truly reflects your love story.
Our Approach
We take a different approach to wedding photography. We're not afraid to get our hands dirty, to take risks, and to push the boundaries of what's considered "traditional" wedding photography. We're passionate about capturing the real you, the real moments, and the real emotions that make your wedding day unforgettable.
Our Style
We're a fusion of artistic and documentary-style photography. We're all about capturing the beauty in the everyday moments, the laughter, the tears, and the love. We're not about creating a fake or staged environment. We're about capturing the real you and your boo, in all your messy, imperfect glory.

What Our Couples Say
"I haven't even had my wedding yet (thanks COVID!) but I feel so strongly about how lucky I am to have Kyle and Melissa as my photographers that I felt compelled to write this early. Let's talk pandemic. We've changed our wedding from July 2020 to April 2021 to August 2021. My fiance and I are both doctors and the last thing we wanted was for our wedding to become a super spreader event. Kyle and Melissa have never once made us feel guilty for changing our plans. On the contrary, they are so supportive and ask 'how can we help make this time easier for you guys?' With other vendors, I've lost my deposit. Other vendors have asked for more money and make me feel guilty for inconveniencing them. On the contrary, Kyle and Melissa roll with the punches and try to make the best of the situation. They run their business with integrity. Pick these two as your photographers and you will not be disappointed. They are world-class photographers but even better human beings." - Irene
