I met Melissa years ago while a graduate student at the University of Kansas. I was so pleased to learn that she and Cecily would be getting married on a Fall day outdoors in a Kansas City backyard. Backyard weddings are some of my favorite weddings, they are so intimate and I love that the whole event will be in natural light, where my photography skills shine. Melissa & Cecily lucked out with a friend's backyard and her incredible crafting skills. This is DIY Pinterest Decorations Heaven. I enjoyed spending the evening with these two, who chose a low-key wedding with no giant wedding party or extra long portrait session. Their vows are some of the most heartfelt and inspiring I've ever heard. These photos are mostly candids and quickly posed formals, which is a style I love to work in. Much love to these two! Congratulations also on getting legally married in 2015! MARRIAGE EQUALITY FOR ALL! <3
