Rebecca + Thomas: An Intimate Summer Church Wedding in Kansas City
From our first conversation after Rebecca reached out to me to ask if I would be available to photograph her wedding to Thomas, I knew that this wedding would be one to remember. The joy in her voice when she spoke about their plans told me everything I needed to know.
Thomas resides on the East Coast, but Rebecca is from the Kansas City area, so they chose to have an intimate ceremony with their closest family and friends in the chapel at Rebecca’s former church, Pleasant Valley Baptist, in Liberty, Missouri.
From the simple, elegant signs to the floral and decor that bore Rebecca’s signature style and incredible handiwork, every detail was executed with love and care.
Rebecca’s shoes satisfied her “something blue” requirement with style, and while sadly Rebecca’s mother had passed away and could not be present, she was lovingly remembered by way of the special brooch Rebecca incorporated into her bridal bouquet.
The day was hot, but the breeze in the shade was pleasant, so Thomas and the guys decided to have a little fun outdoors before the ceremony.
Rebecca’s dearest friends helped her with hair and makeup, and made sure every wrinkle was pressed and jewelry in place!
Following their vows, Rebecca and Thomas took communion together as husband and wife for the first time as their special song played in the background.
After the ceremony, we headed to downtown Liberty to take a few photos before the wedding reception at Heritage Hall.
The happy bride and groom were all smiles as we toured the historic Liberty Square for some photo ops. Those joyful faces say it all!
The Liberty Square has a lot to offer in the way of scenic backdrops. The beautiful architecture, greenery, landscaping, and water feature provide a lot of variety within walking distance. There is a beautiful mural of wings on brick on the northwest side of the square, just east of Anna Marie’s Teas. (My very favorite tea shop!)
The wind was kind to us, so we took advantage and captured some lovely veil shots!
Thomas and his crew enjoyed goofing around by the fountain while the ladies took photos nearby.
Rebecca, Thomas and crew were lively, and full of ideas! What a fun wedding party.
The blue skies were gorgeous in downtown Liberty that afternoon.
Rebecca loved this mural, so we walked over to get a few photos with it. It’s easy to see why she was so taken by it! Afterward, we walked the short distance over to the reception venue so they could join their guests to celebrate!
Rebecca, Thomas, thank you for the opportunity to record such a special, sweet day for you two and your loved ones. May you be blessed with a lifetime of love, joy and so many memories!
