Lead Photographer: Mikaela Wendel

Venue : Circle S Ranch

I was so happy I got to help out shooting for this wedding. I’d never been to the Circle S Ranch and it is an amazing venue for anyone wanting to have it all. There’s a bed and breakfast, ceremony and reception location. When we showed up, we knew some rain was going to be coming in but kept our fingers crossed it would hold out. I spent most my time photographing details and spending time with the groomsmen. I won’t be a Kansas City wedding photographer much longer but while I am still here, I get to be apart of some amazing work.

We lost our luck a little when it didn’t only start raining, it started pouring! Didn’t stop for an hour which took away all the time we wanted to use before the wedding to take some group shots outside. Now we just hope it would clear up before guests arrived. Which it did. The rain is a great luck in the wedding world and it brought Kansas City’s hot temperatures down for this fairy forest wedding. Because Mikaela and I are pros, we had plenty of time to start and finish all the photos we missed before the ceremony and get plenty of just Erik and Lindsey. I always recommend a second shooter. It helps crunch time and helps ease stress. While Mikaela photographed the couple, I ran and got all the reception details. Love the details!

We ended up not having air conditioning for the reception but that didn’t stop the party! Lindsey and Erik were having the time of their lives and you couldn’t help but join in on the dancing.
