Everyone always prays for the perfect weather on your wedding day; I know I did! Something I always tell my brides though is no matter what happens, by the end of the day, YOU'LL BE MARRIED! Rain or shine! One of my good friends got married on March 11, 2023, and I had the honor of photographing her big day. Rain was in the forecast all week and despite our hopes and prayers that it would dissipate, it rained all day! I even tried to scare the rain away by packing my clear bubble umbrellas (literally every time I pack these for a session, the sun comes out lol). But it's all good, we still got some amazing shots and the umbrellas will definitely be a memory Rachel and Todd will never forget! The cloud cover especially made for some gorgeous, moody vibes for the bridal party photos! The View at Briarcliff was the venue for the reception and the tall windows did not disappoint. If it had been sunny, we would have been blinded! SO blessing in disguise that it rained! It even let up for us to do an early 'golden hour' with my bubble umbrellas. So moral of the story- rain or shine, you're freaking marrying your best friend- nothing can ruin that!

I LOVE finding new locations for senior photos. Vintage spots, modern spots, city, country- you name it, I'll find a cool spot for us. Englewood is a small neighborhood tucked away on the north side of Independence, just off the Square. In the last 2-3 years, it has been getting revitalized by investors looking to improve the old arts district. There are so many beautiful, unique architectural highlights to be noted in Englewood, it truly made for a unique senior session! Erica is a big theater gal at Blue Springs HS, so it was fitting we spent some time in front of the old Englewood Movie Theater! Check out her senior photos on my Instagram, @_kayleefromkc.seniors_
