Summer is wildflower season here in Kansas City, and I am OBSESSED! Capturing Cam and Lauren’s summer engagement photos at the beautiful Shawnee Mission Park and this private lake brought all the dreamy summer vibes. If you’re planning summer engagement photos, there’s just nothing like a field of wildflowers to create an ethereal backdrop. As a photographer, I know location is everything. I pride myself on helping you pick just the right spot. Whether it’s a wildflower field just hitting it’s peak, or a lake that lights up at sunset, I am HERE for the magic!

Cam and Lauren’s Summer Engagement Photos: A story in the making

One of the best parts about being a photographer is the relationships that form with your clients over time! Lauren and I connected a few years ago when I took photos of her beautiful clothing boutique. Since then I’ve photographed her sister’s senior photos, Cam’s sister’s wedding (also Laurens bestie ;)), Laurens family and extended family….the list goes on! It’s such an honor to be a witness to so many important parts of Lauren and Cam’s lives. I feel like I’m officially part of the family! So of course when Cam and Lauren asked me to capture their summer engagement photos, I immediately said YES!! These two are a dream to work with, and this session could not have been more fun!

Not only did I get to capture Cam and Lauren’s dreamy summer engagement photos, I’ll also be capturing their destination wedding in Napa! I’m so excited to see these two tie the knot among the stunning vineyards of northern California! Destination weddings have become so much more popular in recent years. I absolutely love seeing couples enjoy the intimate setting and escape from their normal routine with just a group friends and family. If you’re planning a destination wedding, having your engagement photos taken at a local spot is a great way to pay homage to your hometown. It’s truly the best of both worlds!

I’m SO in! I’m a Kansas City wedding photographer here to capture your love story from proposal to “I Do” and beyond…wherever that may be!
