Carly & Marc | Kansas City Backyard Wedding Photography

01_Backyard_Wedding_Kansas_City_Wedding_Photography_Wirken_Studio_Documentary

The first time I “met” Marc and Carly was through Skype video call that bridged the gap between Los Angeles where they live and our studio in Kansas City.  It is often said that the first impression is a lasting impression and this is certainly the case for Marc and Carly as they struck me as a very kind and down to earth couple.    What I love about our conversation with Marc and Carly is that they showed a deep and genuine interest in my philosophy and approach as a documentary wedding photographer.  Furthermore, Carly often mentioned about her niece whom she absolutely loves and adores and is the flower girl for their wedding, and from that point on I knew that the wedding is going to be a family affair which I absolutely love.   Marc and Carly also told me that the wedding is going to be held at the backyard of Carly’s parents house.  Studio Dan Meiner in Kansas City did their magic that transformed the backyard into an outdoor party space and lounge with west coast flare, and dj Scott Kaiser provided the party with music.

Sticking one’s tongue is the universal language of concentration.

I love how Carly’s niece delicately put the rose petals one by one.

Carly and Marc then went to the Intercontinental Hotel to have a little post-party hang out with their friends, and by this time it’s already past midnight

Hi David!! It’s so good to see your work on the blog. I love the image of the couple being announced for the first time–it’s classically beautiful and whimsical. I also love the “stolen” moments you caught of them after the ceremony and at the reception.
