Megan & Hanna Married! {Kansas City Wedding Photographer}
Handsome Hanna & the ever so lovely Miss Megan had a wonderful wedding reception in Kansas City at the Hilton President. I had the pleasure of photographing Hanna & Megan’s engagement session in NYC this summer. I already knew that photographing Megan was awesome as I took her senior photos and could remember clearly how fashion forward and sweet she is, but getting to see Hanna with her in NY was really wonderful. Seeing them laugh, smile and just be so in sync with one another was my favorite part about being in NY Of course I walked my husband all around the city until our feet were to fall off having fun as well
Hanna & Megan were actually married a month earlier in Beirut, Lebanon in the most gorgeous church I have ever seen. I would have loved to have photographed them there too! I was in awe at all of the loveliness from the slideshow they played at their KC reception. Seriously. Incredible.
But how fun is it to have two celebrations! It was great for them to be able to share with friends and family who were not able to make it to Beirut and also wonderful for all that traveled here to KC for their celebration!
Big thanks to Jessica Moore for shooting with me on this great day too!!!!
I will start with Megan’s dresses! Yes! Two dresses that were amazing!
Beautiful Megan! I was insane about the emerald earrings with the pink dress!!!!!!
Such a classic beauty!
One of my favorites!!!!!! Without a wedding party it was so easy to just stop when I randomly saw this awesome tree!!!!
These photos crack me up. I have no idea what Hanna said but Megan’s reaction is so funny!
This, I also love. Hanna wanted to make sure to get one on his phone of him and his lovely bride
I have about a million favorites!
I love this shot Jessica got of me photographing Megan and Hanna capturing the beauty as well
These two. So easy to photograph. They are wonderful together
The Macaron “cake” was amazing! And the BAKLAVA!!!!!!! It came from Beirut and was the best baklava I have ever had. I cant stop thinking about it!
Such an elegant and lovely reception!
I love having these two shots together showing Megan with the same gesture as her mother and grandmother
So sweet!!!!
And of course the reception evening would be great with the sounds of the Patrick Lentz Band! Lucky me, I got to hear them play two weekends in a row!!!!!!!
The view from the President gets me every time!!!!!!
Congratulations Megan & Hanna! I wish you a lifetime of romance!
Lauren & Luke Married!!! {Kansas City Wedding Photographer}
November 7th, what a wonderful day full of great memories for Lauren & Luke. The day they said I do and made promises for a lifetime. It was a very full day filled with so much emotion. Lots of happy tears, laughter and a crazy fun dance party! The details of the day were plentiful. So many special touches and a fairy tale reception fit for a princess
The day was sure to be a success with all the great vendors lined up. I was super excited to be working with all of them! First thanks to my 2nd shooter Mike Tsai, always doing a smashing job! Christine, Celebrations of Love, handling all the logistics and more. Be Chic Bride for lovely hair and makeup for the girlies! Olive media rocking the video (super love them~I photographed their wedding!!!!), Dan Meiners for the stunning florals, PATRICK LENTZ BAND~need I say more? Well, I must mention the most incredible candy bar table decoration that I have EVER seen goes to Kristina Briseno!

How cute are they?
The ceremony was held at Union Station and my jaw literally dropped when I saw this. Wow! Great job Dan Meiner!
Awwww!!! Lauren seeing her dad for the first time of the day!
And they are married!!!!!
Lauren & Luke’s reception was at The Guild. I always love shooting there! But this is the first time they have had the entire studio side for the cocktail hour and it was soooo beautiful! Even the bar was decorated! They wanted to save the suspense for the reception area!
The reception was so very elegant and romantic. Entirely lovely.
THE CANDY TABLE TO BEAT ALL CANDY TABLES!!! I just couldn’t believe it. I die.
Even the little rocks that were in the pot with the tree and branches was made of chocolate!!!!
Lauren’s reaction when walking into the reception was such a wonderful thing to witness. I would say that it was worth all of the work Pam put into making it happen
AND Classic Cakes for the win on cakes
Another beautiful creation!
Even the food was beautiful! Catering by Olive Catering.
Lauren & Luke were announce right into their first dance!
It was Lauren’s Grandpa’s birthday and they made sure to take a moment to celebrate! It was so sweet. Then he gave them some great marriage advice!
Patrick Lentz band rocking the party and the lovely Jordan & Jake with Olive media!
Lauren’s mom may have had the best mom dress ever! It shimmied!!!! Shake it Pam!
Can not go to the Guild without some pretties under the lights in the courtyard!!!!
Another special treat was the specialty snow cones!!!! You can see that they can be fun for adults beverages too!
I always love to photograph the Hora! Lauren’s Grandpa was singing the Hava Nagila and all the fun celebration followed!
Later sometime after the snow cone truck arrived, cotton candy was passed around to guests! Lauren’s love for sweet’s is about up to par with my daughter’s
Now that my daughter knows this is possible, I am sure we will have to have cotton candy when her day comes, lol!
Some more family fun in the courtyard!
Congratulations Lauren & Luke!!!!!!!!!!!
