A joyful Kansas City wedding at Union, where Natasha & Michael celebrated with their dog, vibrant Vietnamese lion dancers, and a reception full of energy.

This summer I photographed two key KC wedding vendor gatherings—the cultural beach vibe of Margaritaville’s Luncheon and the heartwarming networking of Unity Village’s Monthly Merriment. Two events, two moods, one love story.

Is it ever too late to get married? Jacqueline and Shonda prove the answer is no. After 25 years of life together, they finally said “I do” at The Yellow Barn in Kansas City, surrounded by family and friends who’ve been part of their journey all along.

This month’s KC Wedding Guild event was hosted at the beautiful Southmoreland on the Plaza—part bed & breakfast, part hidden gem wedding venue. With brunch instead of lunch, a garden full of character, and vendors buzzing with creative energy, it was a refreshing twist on the usual flow.

Wine, wedding wisdom, and creative connection—this Wedding Vendor Social at The Vineyard at J Creek was extra special for this French farmer’s son turned photographer.

Elsie and Jason are getting married at Lone Summit Ranch this fall—but why wait to enjoy the beauty of the venue? We met at sunset for their engagement session and made the most of the summer light, the gardens, and a swing under a 100-year-old tree.
