Chelsi + Josh

You know that stranger whose magnetism is inexplicable? Don’t ignore that ping in your gut! Josh went to the gym week after week and couldn’t help but notice how charismatic (not to mention stunning) Chelsi was. Weeks passed before they even had a conversation, but Josh knew there was something about Chelsi… Fast forward a few years and now they’re husband and wife. I think they call that love at first sight.

The Bauer Wedding Photos

Chelsi and Josh celebrated their wedding day in front of their friends, family, and precious baby girl, Harper, at The Bauer – an industrial wedding space in downtown Kansas City. These two are masters at the serious ‘game face’ but don’t let that fool you. Their day was so full of fun and laughter. Take a look at their Bauer wedding photos below. 🙂

The Details

I might have posted too many detail shots at this wedding. Heck, I think I posted too many photos for one wedding period. Oh well! 😉

I love when grooms have engravings on their rings.

He’s clearly excellent at selecting perfect jewelry (more on that later), because Chelsi’s rose gold sparkler is stunning, unique, and perfectly suited for her!

Getting Ready

I think this ^ is a new fave of mine in the ‘grooms getting ready’ category. 

Groomsman mid pizza bite in the background makes it.

^^ example #3 Josh’s jewelry expertise. Chelsi LOVED his gift. It was perfect.

First Look

The first look, whether as an intimate moment, or when the bride walks down the aisle always carries so much weight. The sighs I hear leaving the grooms in ‘the spot’ are one of my most favorite sounds of the day. It says so much, and it’s not even a word.

Can we talk about how gorgeous Chelsi is?! Not to mention how on point her boho chic bridal style is?! Everyone just take a second. 

Oh yeah, and if Chelsi and Josh weren’t already tipping the attractive scales, meet Harper, their show-stopper of a one year old. 

He has THE BEST pensive – GQ attitude. 

Bridal Party

Ceremony at The Bauer

Chelsi’s vision for both the Ceremony and the Reception came together perfectly! Shoutout to Miranda of Belle Journee- she is such a lovely planner to work with and made sure things went off without a hitch!

These two wrote their own vows, and their personal touches had everybody tearing up! Bride and Groom Reception at The Bauer

This reception was PERFECT! The space was amazing, the decor was phenomenal, and they had a live band to boot. What more could you want?!

Josh and Chelsi took dance lessons for their first dance! It was so sweet. 🙂

Chelsi and Josh, I have loved working with the two of you and I can’t wait to see what your future has in store. Wishing your family all the best!
