Meet the Owners

We are so excited to meet you!

Hello!!! We are Hope and Joe Szklarski! Most everyone knows us as the owners of Hope's Perspective Photography in Joplin, we've been in the wedding industry for nearly a decade. Our mission in this small town is to help celebrate the gift of marriage and be there for our couple's biggest moments!

Listen, we get it! We've been in your shoes. Planning a wedding is a lot of work, and the location is pretty much everything. Let us ensure you why our venues are the right fit for you.
