Hello!

I'm Mason, a Springfield, Missouri based wedding, elopement, and family photographer. If you're hoping for something a little more than "just a photoshoot," you're in the right place.

One of the most important things when booking someone for your photos — whether it's a family session, an intimate elopement, or a big celebration with all your favorite people — is making sure you actually click.

Click below and let's start a conversation to see if I'm the right fit for you!

Get to know me!

How Your Adventure Unfolds

Forget the stiff poses & forced smiles that leave you feeling awkward instead of celebrated.

My goal is straightforward. To capture your most special moments in the most authentic, genuine way possible. Think real laughter, real emotion, the real YOU.

Because when you are looking back on your photos, I don’t just want you to see images. I want you to get lost in the feeling of that day again. The adventure, the laughs, the joy, with the people that you love most.

Let's Plan Your Adventure

Off the Beaten Path Weddings & Elopements

If you’re an adventurous couple dreaming of something a little more off the beaten path, travel elopements and weddings offer a different kind of experience. One that feels intentional, unhurried, and rooted in the places that matter most to you. Think open landscapes, meaningful locations, and a day that feels like yours from start to finish.

What it’s like to work with me

    "His photos immediately brought us to happy tears with how beautifully he captured the moments of our special day."

    Mason & Iris impressed us with the pictures we got back from our engagement session. . . but we were BLOWN AWAY when he finished our wedding gallery! His photos immediately brought us to happy tears with how beautifully he captured the moments of our special day.

    When looking for the right photographer for us, skill was important but I was also searching for someone with the right vibe for us. Mason exceeded our expectations every step of the way and was absolutely amazing to work with! From flexibility with meetings, creatively engaging us through our sessions, giving & receiving feedback, entertaining our desire to explore, and beautifully capturing our memories, he was (at least) a 10/10 every step of the way. Our wedding was very DIY & somewhere along the way our cake didn’t get decorated, and this man even. put. the. flowers. on. our. cake. 😱 🤩

    If you’re still debating on whether Mason Seidel Photography is right for you, submit a request and Mason will meet with you beforehand to discuss your vision & get to know you.

    Not to mention his prices were super reasonable compared to others in the area!
    In summary: book Mason Seidel. You won’t be disappointed!

    "He was fantastic on our big day, and took some excellent artsy shots in addition to the traditional ones."

    Mason was excellent to work with. He was great at communicating with us on timeframe so we knew what to expect and when, making sure our desired photos were in the list, and with coordinating schedules. His photography style fit what we were looking for, and we had a tremendous time getting to know him better through our hiking engagement session down in Arkansas. He was fantastic on our big day, and took some excellent artsy shots in addition to the traditional ones. Highly recommend!
