Spring at the Overland Park Arboretum feels like walking into a pastel dream. Imagine flowers nodding in a gentle breeze, petals unfurling like soft whispers, and a sun dipping low in the sky—this was the canvas for Olivia and Zach’s garden party inspired engagement session. As a Kansas City wedding photographer, I’m constantly on the hunt for moments that blend authenticity with editorial flair. This session delivered both in spades, complete with Bridgerton vibes, sweeping gowns, and a setting that felt plucked from a bygone era. Ready to dive in?

When Claudia and Joe showed up to their engagement session at Big Mood Natural Wines in the Crossroads, they brought calm confidence and serious style. We started with a glass of wine (obviously) and settled into the cozy, art-forward vibe of Big Mood. These two have the kind of energy that makes every frame feel easy—comfortable, warm, and a little electric.
