Ella and Donavan’s Kansas City engagement session was the perfect mix of classic and candid photography. Choosing Loose Park as their location, they wanted timeless images they could display as wedding decor and save-the-dates.


















Loose Park offered the perfect backdrop for their vision. Between the serene lake and the rose garden (even though the roses weren’t in bloom yet), there were plenty of natural elements to play with. As the sun shone through the trees during golden hour, the light was soft and warm, creating a dreamy, almost magical atmosphere. This made capturing Kansas City engagement pictures that felt both elegant and authentic effortless.
Ella and Donavan chose a 45-minute simplicity session, which was just the right amount of time to mix candid moments with posed portraits. They wanted images that felt genuine—the kind of photos that reflect the way they are together in everyday life, while still looking polished and timeless. We wandered through the park, letting them interact naturally, and captured laughter, soft glances, and quiet, intimate moments.
After their session, they put together a keepsake book featuring their favorite images, creating a tangible memory they can hold onto forever. These photos aren’t just for the wedding—they’re for celebrating their relationship in a meaningful, lasting way.
