We are a premier midwest wedding photography studio out of Hannibal, MO. We serve the tri-state area of Missouri, Iowa, and Illinois catering to Hannibal, St. Charles, St. Louis and Quincy, IL areas. I am Laken, the face behind MVP, and ten years ago my passion revealed itself with a camera in hand. I was inspired to follow my dream job. After shooting my very first wedding, I knew that's where I belonged.

 

I found my calling in wedding photography & videography because nothing is better than capturing the most important & happiest day of two peoples lives. My husband Derek has been a part of our business every step of the way. I wouldn't be where I am today with his love & support. Our family grew by two more feet, as we welcomed our baby girl Emma to the world, she is now 2 years old along with our 4 year old, Elijah!

Being a stay-at-home mom and full-time wedding photographer has been nothing short of amazing. The longer I continue doing what I'm doing, the more confident I become in knowing I'm right where I'm meant to be. I am so glad you are here and we cannot wait to transform your time with us into priceless memories!

​

Best,

Laken McDonald
