The Nelson Atkins Museum of Art is one of my favorite places to visit and also to use as a photography location in Kansas City.  This session was extra special, not only because of the location but I absolutely adored working with this couple.   I’ve known them separately and in the most recent years together. Jaclynn and I are photography friends that have a blast shooting weddings together.   And Nick and I used to do country swing dancing.  So when Jaclynn asked me to capture such a special  occasion for them I was MORE than thrilled!

These two are high school sweethearts.   The timing wasn’t right though after high school because they needed to go separated ways, just for a time.   They did their own growth individually and then their stories came back together, they dated, became engaged, married and now this was their third anniversary!  Such a beautiful love story that’s continuing to unfold.

As you can tell, this isn’t your typical museum visit – this was a sweet 3rd anniversary photoshoot at the one and only Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art right here in Kansas City, Missouri.

So I had the pleasure of capturing this couple in the midst of stunning art, huge columns, with snuggles, kisses and laughter from this precious couple

Picture this – actually, you don’t have to because I captured the images for you!  But here is a verbal picture,  hand in hand, a couple in formal wear,  strolling through the grounds of this stunning museum, surrounded by unique architecture, sculptures that tell stories of history and time.  The Nelson-Atkins provided the perfect backdrop for this classy photoshoot.

So there you have it – a love story that can compete with the story books. Whether you're a local Midwesterner or a couple that loves to travel looking for the perfect backdrop for your love story, I’ve got you covered. Here's to love, laughter, and a lifetime of memories in KC, across the USA and through the world. Look forward to seeing you at my next post!
