Katie and Vann are such a fun and animated couple that you can’t help but smile when you’re around them.  Their wedding day was classic, yet laid back and light hearted.  Christ Community’s Brookside campus was the perfect backdrop with its gorgeous stone facade, stained glass windows and architectural details.

They opted not to see each other before their wedding, but instead had a fun “hidden” first look.  They each had written notes to each other that they passed around the pillar that blocked their view.  And, with their eyes closed, this “first look” include a few quick kisses (of course).   Katie also did a first look with her dad, which is always such a special moment.

Katie and Vann’s lively bridal party included close friends, cousins and siblings who were so supportive and genuinely happy for them.  Even the rain and having to shoot most of the bridal party photos indoors didn’t put a damper on this sweet couples day. 

The reception was held at The DoubleTree in Overland Park and was a great place to celebrate and dance the night away. Choreographed first dances and a full dance floor truly made this an epic party that won’t soon be forgotten.

Here’s a sneak peek of their day!

 

 

Congrats again Katie and Vann!  Thanks so much for allowing me to capture such an amazing day in your lives!

 

XOXO,
