Your Photos Should Tell Your Story
Each photo session is tailored to each individual. There's no copy & paste over here. I'll collaborate with you on your vision so that together we can make your photos feel like the essence of you.
Let's talk about the experience
Here's What You Should Know
My Approach
With each photo session I follow a similar approach. Once you've decided, "Hey, I would like Cailie to photograph us." That's when the planning for your photos start. I'll listen to your vision & look at your Pinterest board to get the vibe.
At your session, we will listen to music, talk a lot, and really just hang out as friends. If you can plan something to do during your session, it helps a lot with the documentary style of photography. Planning things like: apple picking, a picnic, or baby bath time create great memories too!
I'll guide you with things to do with your hands, but I generally take a hands off approach-documentary style. I promise you that we will have fun. & if I can't make you laugh at some point, I consider myself having done a disservice. It's really low pressure because I'm really good at my job, so I always get the shot. ;)
Mostly, I just want you to fall in love all over again. Fall in love with each other & with your photos.

"Cailie is a warm and hospitable person which translates into her photography. She captured my personality in her pictures, which I think is because she has a gift for seeing every individual as unique and loved. I would definitely recommend her services for any photography needs."

RUN don’t walk to book a session with Cailie!! Cailie gave us the BEST experiences, not once but twice for two amazing sessions. My husband and I are not the best in front of the camera and Cailie coached us through the entire thing, making us laugh and giving us amazing direction. Our photos turned out insanely good and we will cherish them forever. Her turnaround time was also SO fast. We love her.
The process from now until you've received your album...
So here's what it would look like to book your wedding!
The Booking Process

I'm so happy to coordinate and work with all your favorite vendors for the day! I'll be emailing your planner and making sure I'm on the same page as everyone else!
Your Wedding Day
You're getting married!!!!
I'm showing up ready to have the best day ever! I will match any positive energy, and I always feel so truly honored to capture wedding days!
Have fun!
I'll handle the posing and staying on schedule. You won't even have to look at the time.
My Backups
I have backups on backups - shooting on two cameras with dual card slots. I even have an extra camera in my car if something crazy happens! When I get home, I'll be backing up your photos that night in three different places.
After Your Wedding
Sneak Peek
Expect 20 photos for a sneak peek within 24 hours of the end of the wedding!
Online Gallery
Your photos will be delivered to your email box on the one month anniversary of your wedding day.
Heirloom Album
We will coordinate a time to zoom call within 3 weeks from your delivery date for final touch ups of your finished heirloom linen album, so that your photos don't remain on the internet forever!
Does that sound like something you're looking for?
If you're looking for a wedding photographer that can anticipate moments and capture them with an artful eye, you've come to the right place!
Well, what are you waiting for? I think you just found her!
Hi! Nice to meet you! I'm Cailie Buckles
Back in December 2017, I moved to Springfield, Missouri right after my college graduation, and I married the love of my life - all in the same week. Crazy? I know. I started my business up and officially went full time in August 2019.
I've photographed so many weddings and have met so many wonderful couples. I have completely fallen in love with my job!
My goal is to help couples that are looking for the the in between of documentary style photography and beautiful portraits. I always will have you look at the camera for some photos so your mom and grandma don't bother you about it, but the rest of the time, I want to document you as you are. (Those photos end up being the most special anyways!!!)
