Ryan Crowell and any of his alias businesses cannot be trusted. My wife and I contracted with West Bottoms Photography in a package deal along with a venue in the West Bottoms of Kansas City Missouri. The wedding venue closed down, but this guy refused to return our deposit even after he lied to our face, assuring us there'd be "no issues" and our wedding venue was secure. He returned the deposit for the venue, but insisted that "the photography business was still intact, and there's a separate contract". This was a fantastic bait and switch. Promise a great deal on a venue and photography service, then the venue is no more, but guess what? He was savvy enough to make sure we signed two contracts. I've attempted to take this guy to small claims court, but guess what? Despite his multiple business he can never be found to be served court papers. Even certified mail is returned to sender. Trust me here I'm not the only one to be burned by Kansas Memories or West Bottoms Photography. Ladies, there are plenty of viable wedding photographers in Kansas City, Shawnee, Mission and Overland Park. I would definitely not trust your important date to Ryan Crowell photography or West Bottoms photography, or whatever iteration he is calling it these days. I would not ever recommend using the Mission Theatre for an event either - he's listed as the CEO there last I checked and also tries to hide his other businesses under this moniker. Check around before hiring this scam artist, West Bottoms Photography is NOT to be trusted with wedding photography and Ryan Crowell is a thief.
