Renee and JP’s wedding at the Sawyer Room in downtown Kansas City was wonderful. It was a gorgeous day, with a really fun couple, and a beautiful setting. The ceremony and reception were both held at the Sawyer Room, which used to be part of the Kansas City Athletic Club and has great windows with beautiful light streaming in all day and into the evening as the sun set. Renee and JP wanted their wedding to be a celebration, where people could have fun, eat great food (Oklahoma Joe’s BBQ… my favorite in KC!) and enjoy their wedding day with them! It was just that, and we had a great time shooting it. A big thanks to Kasie for second shooting for me!
Here are some of my favorites from their wedding day (August 28th):
Renee and JP wrote fun stories in their wedding program about the members of their wedding party. I loved that personal detail!
We headed out to the rooftop of a parking garage next to the venue at sunset. The light was gorgeous!
Their reception was so much fun! Renee and JP’s entrance to the reception was to the KU fight song!
I set up some off-camera lighting during the reception, which resulted in these images:
I love seeing people I know at weddings! You might recognize Robin and Chris above (my bride and groom from back in May!). And below, my aunt and uncle!
And, I’ll leave you with one of my favorite portraits of Renee and JP, taken just as the sun went down!
