Allyssa and Evan’s fall wedding at La Villa was filled with extraordinary moments that will forever hold a special place in their hearts.
I met Allyssa years ago at her brother’s wedding, so when she asked me to be a part of her day at one of my favorite venues (La Villa) and favorite planners (Authentically You), I could not say fast enough!
There were so many amazing moments within their day, that I thought I’d list them out.
-
A Celebration of Individuality: For Allyssa, it was crucial to look like herself on her wedding day. Embracing her individuality and personal style, she opted for a bridal look that truly reflected who she is. I remember her saying how happy she was to look so much lie herself for her wedding day.
-
The Distinctive Charm of Bolo Ties: Evan and his groomsmen sported bolo ties, adding a distinctive touch of style to their ensemble. The unique choice of this accessory highlighted their personality and added a touch of western charm to the occasion.
-
First Look with Brothers and Dad: One of the most heartwarming moments of the day was Allyssa’s first look with her brothers and dad. As Allyssa turned around to face her loved ones, there was a shared moment of joy, love, and pride that filled the air.
-
Mae made an appearance! It was so important to Allyssa and Evan to include their beloved pup Mae for a few shots. She was VERY curious about Allyssa’s flowers.
-
Personal and Intimate Vows: Allyssa and Evan’s vows were nothing short of extraordinary. They poured their hearts out, expressing their love, admiration, and commitment to each other.
-
Sunset Overlooking Kansas City: After the ceremony, Allyssa and Evan opted to venture to a nearby parking garage that overlooked the magnificent skyline of Kansas City. I loved the lighting in these images.
-
Taco Truck Dinner Allyssa and Evan’s delicious choice of a taco truck by Marigolds for dinner added a touch of fun to their celebration. People could come and go as they pleased and grabbed tacos whenever, and they were some DAMN good tacos!
-
A Wedding Party that Set the Dance Floor on Fire: Allyssa and Evan’s party was an absolute blast. From the moment the music started, the dance floor became a hub of infectious energy and pure joy.
