There’s something so special about a wedding that feels effortless — where every moment is relaxed, joyful, and overflowing with love. Melanie & Kyle’s wedding day was exactly that. From the first glance to the last laugh, it was pure magic, and I couldn’t have been more thrilled to capture it.
Their entire celebration took place in a beautiful backyard near Des Moines, and it was absolutely perfect. Intimate weddings like this — whether in a backyard, garden, or unique venue — are some of my favorite to photograph. Watching Melanie & Kyle together, it’s clear they just glow around each other — and honestly, I’d photograph a day like this a million times over.
From the candid moments of laughter to the sweet, quiet exchanges between the two of them, this wedding reminded me why I love capturing weddings and elopements in Kansas City and beyond. Whether you’re planning a backyard wedding near Des Moines or a dreamy celebration in Kansas City, the magic is in the real, heartfelt moments.
