Hillary and Colin’s Wedding Day Story

Hillary and Colin’s wedding morning was light, beautiful, and filled with the kind of quiet anticipation that makes getting ready photos some of my absolute favorites to capture. Hillary was stunning in her elegant gown from Bride KC, her long flowing hair styled beautifully by Chelsea Rich Styling and her glowing natural makeup by Maria Morris Makeup KC perfectly complementing the soft and airy aesthetic of the entire day. Colin looked equally handsome and polished in his impeccably chosen look from Slabotsky’s Mens, and together they were a truly picture perfect pair.

The detail and flat lay moments from this wedding were some of the most beautiful I have photographed, and La Villa’s gorgeous surfaces and natural light made every element of Hillary and Colin’s carefully chosen details shine.
