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.

Jenna and Calder’s Kansas City Wedding

I can’t believe their wedding has come and gone. Jenna and Calder’s wedding day was one that I was looking forward to the moment I met them. They’re just awesome people who love each other and love the people around them. They’re the kind of couple who was super excited about their marriage, as well as their wedding day. Jenna and Calder’s wedding day was a beautiful start to their life journey together.

Their ceremony was at Atonement Lutheran Church in Overland Park, with a reception at Terrace on the Green. I also got to shoot this day with Jeff. Here’s a sneak peek of their day!

Even though they had a “first look” before the ceremony, Calder’s face couldn’t have been more excited watching his bride walk down the aisle during the ceremony!

Jenna and Calder have a lot of people who love them. They had a big wedding party, who were all amazing to work with!

We took a few photos in their getaway car, too, which also happened to match their wedding colors. :)
