Every time I think back to Robert + Ariel’s wedding day, the one word that comes to mind is “magical.” Over and over. So many beautiful things between the decorations, the sweet little details, the attire, the love between friends and family, and the sparkler shots at the end of the evening – it was all pure magic. Per usual, The Stanley in Lees Summit did NOT disappoint.
So simple, so elegant. And a little rainy. But we all know that just means good luck.



Have you ever seen such magical shoes? All the heart eyes!!








Those quiet moments with no one around, just waiting with great anticipation to see her groom.



Everyone gathered together, family and friends, to witness Ariel + Robert promise each other forever…




…and then they were announced into the reception like rockstars!







Of course, we had to take a walk around the block to celebrate the newlyweds!
Back to the party… I highly recommend getting a dance floor photo of everyone at your reception!






Ariel with another of my brides, Melanie (who was married the next week), who ironically caught the tossed bouquet! IT WAS TOO PERFECT!






This photo RIGHT HERE.
This was the PERFECT end to the night and again, SO SO MAGICAL!
Congratulations to the Gattenby’s – I wish you guys all of the best things in your future together!!
