Kara + Kyle | September 18

September 18 was a long day for us but very enjoyable. Our morning started early morning at Kara’s parent’s house where she got dressed for her spectacular wedding day. Kara and Kyle didn’t want to see each other until they had their special first-time moment at Kauffman Memorial Gardens. When the limo arrived at the house, Kyle sat in the front seat and the rest of the wedding party rode in the back. Unbelievably, Kara and Kyle didn’t see other until they got out of the limo. I’m just surprised that Kyle didn’t find an urge to sneak a peek.

The wedding and reception took place at Lee Andrew Hall & Garden in Blue Springs, MO. This place is gorgeous! The wedding was held out doors in the garden and the reception indoors. When the party started, EVERYONE let their hair down and partied! I thought that I was at a college party just because the guests didn’t get off the dance floor. Kudos to “Berry Good Light and Sound” for keeping the party alive.

Kara and Kyle were surrounded by so many loved ones – some that came out to celebrate their nuptials before being shipped off to war, childhood friends and relatives that had been married over 50-years. It warmed my heart to see so much love in one room. The evening ended around 11:30 pm.

Congratulations Kara and Kyle.

Another great shot from Tailese.
