An engagement session at Hotel Phillips in downtown Kansas City is the perfect mix of classic, romantic, and timeless charm. Gabi and Sal’s session captured all these elements beautifully, with every detail adding to the moody elegance of the evening!

The Style

Gabi looked breathtaking in her white satin boat neck dress, featuring a chic knot detail at the waist. Sal complemented her perfectly in a classy baby blue suit paired with a crisp white shirt and brown shoes. Their wardrobe choices brought a sophisticated yet modern vibe that paired effortlessly with the warm, moody lighting of the hotel.

The Mood

The session started in the hotel bar, where the dim lighting and rich tones created an intimate and romantic atmosphere. Gabi and Sal shared quiet moments that felt straight out of a classic film. From there, we explored the hotel’s vintage photo booth, which added a playful yet nostalgic touch. The laughter and closeness these two shared in that cozy space truly brought their love to life.

Next, we moved to the library, a hidden gem within Hotel Phillips. The soft lighting and quiet atmosphere made it feel like they had stepped into their own world. It was the perfect spot for intimate moments and tender exchanges.

Getting Creative

One of the most fun parts of the session was capturing elevator photographs! Elevators are surprisingly great for showing connection and personality, and Gabi and Sal’s chemistry shone through in every frame. We also couldn’t resist using the baggage cart, which added a playful, 90’s Nancy Meyers vibe to the session. The mix of elegance and fun felt so true to their love story.

Finally, we stepped outside for some iconic downtown Kansas City photographs. The historic architecture and city lights provided a stunning backdrop, proving that downtown hotels are ideal for engagement sessions. With the versatility of indoor and outdoor locations, every moment of Gabi and Sal’s session felt unique and magical.

The Hotel Phillips delivered a moody, romantic atmosphere that matched Gabi and Sal’s love perfectly. This session was a beautiful reminder of how personal and meaningful engagement sessions can be.
