At ATN Photography, every engagement session has its own vibe—and Ashley and Riley’s day was full of creative sparks and genuine moments. Set at Warren Place Venue in Gardner, KS, their engagement photography session perfectly captured the fun and anticipation of planning a wedding.
A Day of Creative Planning
We kicked things off in a room bursting with inspiration—decorations, tables, plates, glasses, silverware, and a mountain of ideas all around. In that creative space, Ashley and Riley mapped out the vision for their celebration, laughing and sharing ideas. Once the planning wrapped up, we took a leisurely tour of the venue, soaking in every detail that would later become the backdrop to their big day.

Portraits That Tell a Story
With the creative energy still high, we moved on to capturing couple portraits that felt spontaneous and real. The natural light and the charm of Warren Place Venue brought out the best in their easy chemistry, producing moments that are both intimate and timeless.
Playful Moments at the Pool Table
No day is complete without a little fun. The couple couldn’t resist a friendly game of pool at the groomsmen speakeasy—a playful break that perfectly mirrored their lighthearted side.
Tender Moments in the Bridal Suite
In the cozy bridal suite, quiet moments turned into tender memories. The soft lighting and private corners allowed us to capture whispers, warm smiles, and those little moments of connection that speak volumes.
Romance in the Chapel
Later, we headed over to the Chapel. Whether they were sharing a quiet laugh or a heartfelt look, every shot in this space resonated with romance and anticipation for the wedding ahead.
A Nod to Their Love Story
At the bar, in a playful twist of fate, Riley slipped into his old bartender role to woo Ashley all over again—an echo of how their love story began.
Looking Ahead
Ashley and Riley are set to tie the knot on July this year at the very venue where their engagement unfolded. While I won’t be photographing their wedding day, I’m honored to have captured the start of their journey.
