The last Saturday in October brought us Justin and Michelle’s beautiful wedding. The weather was gorgeous. I’m sure Justin and Michelle weren’t counting on eighty-three degree weather at the end of October when they were planning their wedding but it went absolutely flawlessly. Justin and his buddies got ready at the church shortly before him and Michelle saw each other for the first time. Everyone was having a great time and the pictures that came from this were amazing! Michele also got ready at the church, having fun with her bridesmaids and mother as they prepared for the day. You could tell by the energy in the room just how much her friends and family cared about her and how excited they were for her. I absolutely loved the moment that Justin and Michelle saw each other for the first time. The pictures that came from this reflected all of the love that was being shared between these two. Their day was finally here. Michelle has such a contagious laugh. I could literally hear it in my head as I was editing these pictures and it always made me smile. The bridal party was such a hoot. Everyone was having a great time. We all went to Shawnee Mission Park for group photos. The leaves were simply beautiful. The bridal party consisted of friends from college and high school and family. Everyone was so excited for these two! I loved the portraits that we captured of these two together alone. They were just so natural in front of the camera and are so in love. The ceremony was held at the beautiful Redeemer Lutheran Church in Olathe. After they said “I do,” they shared their first kiss as husband and wife then exited the church while all of their friends and family spun pin wheels. Before the reception, the bridal party made a quick stop at Liberty Memorial. I adore this view of the city and it always makes for great pictures. Their reception was so great. They didn’t miss a single detail! During the toasts, both the best man and the Maid of Honor informed the reception that they were responsible for introducing the two. The Maid of Honor is the bride’s sister and the Best Man is married to the Maid of Honor. How fun is that?! The reception ended with these two sharing a last dance together and then exited with sparklers around them. Amazing.
