Colleen and Johnny decided to have their unique wedding day outside of Kansas City and in Lawrence near their university – the University of Kansas. And let me tell you…Venue 1235 was PERFECT for them!
As a Kansas City wedding photographer, I love going out to Lawrence for a wedding. The drive to and from the city is super easy, and it escaped all the crazy city vibes.
What started out a rainy day quickly turned warm, sunny, and STUNNING! Colleen and Johnny really though of everything when it came to personalizing their wedding day. Their biggest thing was going to bars on the University of Kansas and hopping into any photobooth that they may see. And you know what? That is exactly what we did.
After all the details and first looks, we all headed into the heart of the University of Kansas. Strang Hall was our first stop, followed by a fountain that was close by, then ended our time before the ceremony at The Wheel. There the whole wedding party just chilled, Colleen + Johnny hopped into the nearest photobooth, and they all shared a few drinks.
The ceremony, reception, and dance party was back at Venue 1235. There is room for both an indoor or outdoor ceremony/reception, but we opted for indoor everything due to the thunder storm that was supposed to start back up right after the ceremony.
Both the ceremony and reception were stunning! So many personalized little touches throughout the whole day. Colleen and Johnny brought in a photobooth and ice cream cart for their guests to enjoy! We ended up sneaking into the thunderstorm for some fun bubble umbrella rain photos which turned out awesome!
As a Kansas City wedding photographer, for your wedding day, I always encourage all of my couples to make it out themselves and adding in aspects that will make it feel more like that! This will allow all those more real, genuine, authentic moments to shine through, and allow me to truly tell your unique story through images.
So if you are in need of a Kansas City wedding photographer who is able to capture the big, intimate, and authentic moments while also allowing you to feel comfortable in front of the camera, don’t forget to reach out to me! Would love to document your day the way that it played out and allow you to relive your big day for years to come.
