Ryan + Shannon

Urban Wedding

Ryan and Shannon celebrated their Urban Wedding at The Monarch Room in Downtown Kansas City, surrounded by their friends and family. Take a look at their perfect day below. 🙂

Details

Is this not the coolest getting ready location ever? I felt like I was on the east coast! This is Shannon’s mom’s home and it was such a gorgeous, not to mention meaningful, location for all of the girls to gather and get ready at.

Shannon wore a beautiful gown by Essense of Australia. The lace, beading, and silhouette complimented her personality perfectly! shannon-ryan-felicia-the-photographer_0004

Getting Ready

I can’t resist the puppy/bride portraits. There were about 5 of these and I had half a mind to post every single one. 😉

^^ Shannon’s niece, Reagan, is quite the ham-bone. There are several funny pictures like this one of her in their wedding gallery. #futureblackmail

Girls Portraits

^^ I LOVE this shot. I’m telling you, this house was the perfect place to get ready. Shannon’s mom should consider Air BnB-ing it to bridal parties… just sayin’.

Guys Portraits

Ryan and the guys are so fun and super sharp dressers. Any groom that chooses Zara over Men’s Warehouse is a keeper in my book! Way to do you, dude! An Urban Wedding suited his style perfectly.

If you know Ryan, you know that he loves all things Kansas City. This mural, that’s walking distance from the venue was a no brainer. As was Boulevard Beer, Charlie Hustle Socks, and many more reception details as you’ll soon see!
Ceremony

Ryan’s. Jaw. Dropped. That’s all.

The Reception at The Monarch Room

The reception decor was impeccable and I wasn’t the least bit surprised. Shannon is a Wedding and Event Coordinator for a local Country Club, and the girl knows what’s up. She put together a beautiful wedding.

Instead of a traditional wedding cake, Ryan and Shannon had Topsy’s Popcorn and Lamar’s Donuts for dessert! shannon-ryan-felicia-the-photographer_0038

Shannon and Ryan,

I’m so thankful you chose me to document your day! I had a blast, and I can’t wait to see what the future holds for the two of you! Wishing you all the best.
