If you know me at all, you know that I love when things are personalized, tailored to specific people, planned and organized in a way that reflects who a person is… or, in this case, who a couple is! Jessie and Rick planned their wedding weekend just like that — a reflection of things and people they love. They had an outdoor wedding on Friday afternoon with their immediate families, followed by some fun activities for out-of-town guests during the day on Saturday and a great reception on Saturday night!
We started with the getting ready photos at The Q Hotel in Westport. We took portraits around the modern hotel, too!
The great hair and make-up (for both days) was by Colleen Quinn Nosbish. Jessie wore her grandmother’s pearls:
We had a little fun with the elevator doors:
The ceremony was at Antioch Park, and it was beautiful (it doesn’t even look hot in the photos — but it was over 100 degrees!). They had cute parasols in their wedding colors for their guests.
Jessie and Rick wrote their own personal vows, and they actually wrote the entire ceremony to say exactly what they felt!
The reception on Saturday night was at Thomas in Kansas City. I loved the details they planned — again, personal to their interests and story!
Their table names were in honor of their favorite foods — pictured here is a favorite of Jessie’s family:
Thomas has an incredible piano player, who entertained us all evening with a wide range of songs — from Swell Season and classics to piano versions of Party in the USA and Baby Got Back. It was awesome.
The photo booth was awesome, with Red Box Photo Booth.
