Haylee and Keith’s Kansas City elopement was intimate, fun, and full of summer energy, even in the middle of July.

We started the day at Hotel Kansas City, where they got ready and shared a sweet first look. After some indoor portraits, we headed to Loose Park for their micro wedding ceremony surrounded by close friends and family. Once they said their vows, we took bridal party photos and then went to the Nelson Atkins Museum of Art for more portraits. It is one of my favorite spots for wedding photos in Kansas City with its timeless architecture and beautiful backdrops. We ended the day back at the hotel where they signed their marriage license and officially became husband and wife.

Photographing these two was such a joy. They are the sweetest couple, and even with the July heat, the day felt easy, relaxed, and full of genuine moments.
