Amy and André’s Hotel Kansas City wedding was truly timeless. Their day felt elegant, joyful, and full of sweet, personal moments. From the stained glass windows at their church to the grand Tudor Ballroom, every part of their celebration felt meaningful and warm.

A Day Filled With Pure Joy

When I asked the couple how their wedding day felt, their answer was simple: “Happy!” They smiled from morning to night, and it showed in every moment. Their guests brought so much love and energy to the day. The grand entrance at their reception was their favorite part. They looked around the room and took it all in — every friend, every family member, every warm smile. It was a big, beautiful moment they will never forget.

Why They Loved The Hotel Kansas City

The Hotel Kansas City was the perfect fit for their classic style. They spent the morning in the king lofted suite, which gave them space to get ready and relax. The hotel team left a handwritten note and a bottle of sparkling rosé, which made the morning even sweeter.

They also loved the balcony that overlooks the Tudor Ballroom. The rich wood details and stained glass around the venue added so much charm. Every room felt special and full of character.

A First Look With a Meaningful Surprise

Amy surprised André during their first look with a custom painting by Steven Dragan. The artwork showed them standing in front of The Hotel Kansas City in their wedding attire — a moment that hadn’t even happened yet. It was thoughtful, beautiful, and incredibly unique.

Now, the painting hangs in their home as a reminder of one of the biggest days of their life.

When the Day Finally Felt “Real”

For Amy, it hit her the moment she walked down the aisle. She saw all their guests at once, and her eyes instantly filled with tears. For André, the moment felt real when they stepped out of the church as husband and wife. Their guests lined the exit and cheered as they walked out together.

Looking Back at Their Gallery

When they look at their photographs now, they feel all of the joy from their wedding day rush back. Doing a first look helped them take most of their portraits before the ceremony, which allowed them to enjoy more time with their guests afterward. It kept the day relaxed, intentional, and full of connection.
