Bet you’d never guess we sheltered from a 🌪️ lookin at these wedding photos 😱

The art of Midwest storytelling… an overcast and dreary morning, a full HOT sun afternoon, and an ominous thunderous rainy evening. And the McMahills weathered it all with grace, joy, and so much love 😍

Congrats Jake and Easton, yall made this one a wedding I’ll never forget!!

Evan and Katie officially teed up forever ⛳️🤍

From dodging the rain to golf cart rides with a "Just Married" sign, putting green portraits, and a custom flag made just for them, every detail of this day felt joyful and true to who they are.

Congratulations to the newest Mr. & Mrs. Lee ✨

No raining on this parade ☂️

The forecast said rain, but the skies held out for a soft and romantic outdoor ceremony, some iconic moments at The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, a packed dance floor, and a sparkler exit under the string lights to close out the night!

From the moment these two saw each other during their first look to the final song, the day felt effortless and joyful in all the best ways.

Mr. + Mrs Lloyd 🤍

‘we are in tears… it’s magic.’ 🥹 safe to say The Wallace honeymoon started off strong by reliving their favorite day with their sneak preview album

Some classic Kansas City portraits, an emotional first look, the dreamiest direct sun veil moments, and a couple completely soaking in every second together. Meaghan + Patrick — thank you for trusting me to document such a meaningful day 🤍

Editing season has been full lately in the best way ✨

Over the past couple weeks between wedding sneak previews, I’ve delivered:
— 3 engagement sessions
— 2 announcement sessions
— 2 family sessions
— and a senior session 🎓

Every gallery has looked so different from the next, and I genuinely love that. Playful couples, growing families, nostalgic seasons of life, seniors stepping into something new — getting to document all of it never gets old.

If you’ve been waiting to reach out for your own session, this is your sign 🤍 https://www.jillcaren.com/

Taco-Bout when the wedding sneak previews already HIT ❤️‍🔥

To quote the Bride, “this was my dream wedding and, you caught every single detail.” - Cue Tears 🥹

From emotional moments and hype energy with your favorite people… to late-night tacos and the details you didn’t even realize were happening—every part of your story deserves to be remembered. 2027 dates are now open, and I’m already connecting with couples who want their day documented exactly as it felt, just like Connor and Sydney. Congratulations, Mr. and Mrs. Ellefson! 🌮

Mr. + Mrs. Nelson 🤍🖤

Just a few days removed from this one and already wishing we could do it all over again. The kind of day that felt effortless, emotional, and completely their own from beginning to end.

Just a few sneak peeks for now… so much more to come.

Lately in front of the camera, it hasn’t just been weddings 🤍

Engagement sessions with new friends, and getting to photograph clients I’ve known through so many different seasons of life... Watching couples turn into parents, and getting to be invited back in to document it—will never feel normal to me in the best way. It’s the kind of full-circle part of this job I don’t take lightly 🥹

A little rewind to late March with the Mansy wedding 🤍

Finally getting these moments out into the world—and they feel just as good now as they did that day.

One of those days that reminded me how much trust is placed in this role… not just by the couple, but by the entire family. And that part never goes unnoticed. Congrats, Isaac and Anna! Excited to start working on this full gallery soon!

Joe + Mallory 🤍

Not everything went according to plan… and it made the day even better.

From a stuck party bus to a packed Nelson (thanks to prom weekend), the entire day unfolded in ways no one expected—and they handled every bit of it with so much ease. A reminder that the moments you can’t plan are usually the ones that matter most.

✨ Just the beginning of The Andrews content—so much more to come.
