welcome to the ericamay blog!

Hi! I'm Erica May Short, and I'm so excited you're here. This blog will show you my current work with a few fun personal things mixed in to help you get to know me better. I am a wedding and portrait photographer in Kansas City, and I love my job. I am so blessed to be a part of so many stories. I care more about people than pictures, because it's your story that provides photo-worthy moments.

Besides photography, I love my husband Jeff, our miniature schnauzer Petey, movie theater candy, and the color green. You can visit my main portfolio website at www.ericamay.com!


All of the fun photos in the blog header are of Jeff and I recently -- taken by our amazingly talented friends Jeremy and Ashley of www.wearetheparsons.com! We have them to thank for capturing us exactly how we are.

Andrea and Jon: Wedding at Wyandotte County Park

Andrea and Jon had an outdoor ceremony on a Sunday afternoon at Wyandotte County Park, just outside of James P. Davis Hall. This was a really neat spot for an outdoor wedding that also allowed for an indoor, air-conditioned reception afterward! Andrea and Jon planned fun details and incorporated a lot of flowers and plants that really helped bring the outside in! :) They wanted their wedding to be laid-back and a time for people to have fun and be relaxed — and it was just that!

I loved the bunches of flowers they had for their bouquets, which they picked up at the Farmer’s Market! I loved that DIY detail!
