Jennifer and Ben’s wedding and reception were held at The Villa, a european style venue located in mid town Kansas City, just north of the Vietnam Veteran’s Fountain. It was a nice late summer day here in the midwest, warm but not terribly hot. The wedding and reception were both held indoors but we did most of the portraits outdoors, either on the grounds of The Villa or at the nearby Vietnam Veteran’s Fountain.
The wedding and the reception were both held in the same room at The Villa so we had plenty of time after the wedding to do photos while the staff readied the room for the reception. Since it was an afternoon / evening wedding, the light was great for outdoor photographs and everything went very smoothly.
The most memorable moment of this wedding was when the bride wanted to take off her slip before entering the reception. We were still out in the Vietnam Veteran’s park and had just finished the photos. The groom and I managed to hide her in a large bush with him on one side and me on the other side while traffic zoomed down JC Nichols Parkway.
