Chris + Tania Married // Briarcliff Waterfall // Liberty Memorial // J. Rieger + Co


In honor of Chris and Tania celebrating their wedding anniversary this week, I’m so excited to share a look back at their incredibly special day 🤍 As a Kansas City wedding photographer, it’s always meaningful to document love stories—but this one held an extra place in my heart, having known Chris for so many years. Their wedding day felt intimate, joyful, and completely true to who they are.


Their ceremony took place outdoors in Briarcliff, set against a gorgeous waterfall that created the most peaceful and romantic backdrop. Surrounded by their closest family, Chris and Tania exchanged vows in a setting that felt both serene and vibrant, accented by beautiful pops of orange and pink florals. Afterward, we explored one of Kansas City’s most iconic locations for portraits at Liberty Memorial, capturing timeless images that blended their colorful style with the city’s classic skyline.


The celebration continued at J. Rieger & Co. Distillery inside the Jacob’s Barrel Room, where the atmosphere shifted into a warm, inviting space perfect for celebrating with loved ones. From start to finish, their day was a perfect mix of charm, personality, and heartfelt connection. If you’re planning a wedding in Kansas City and looking for a photographer who will capture every meaningful moment with intention and artistry, I would love to connect with you.
