A Classic Love Story at the nelson-Atkins Museum

Engagement Session with Kirsten & Alden

When timeless architecture meets a stylish couple with vintage flair, you get magic—and Kirsten and Alden’s engagement session at the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art was exactly that.

From the very first frame, it was clear these two have something special. Their session felt like a romantic stroll through a bygone era—complete with soft golden light, elegant columns, and one incredible suit.

Classic Setting, Modern Romance

The Nelson-Atkins Museum is a Kansas City favorite, and for good reason. Its clean lines, marble columns, and soft natural light make every photo feel iconic. For Kirsten and Alden, it provided the perfect canvas to capture their love story with a dash of vintage elegance.

Let’s Talk About That Suit

Alden absolutely owned the look with his three-piece navy suit and newsboy cap—think old-school charm meets modern confidence. His look brought an unexpected richness to the session, pairing beautifully with Kirsten’s flowing pastel floral dress. Together, they looked like they stepped out of a storybook—stylish, coordinated, and completely in love.

From Marble to Magnolia

We started under the grand arches and carved pillars of the museum’s exterior, letting the architecture frame their connection. But it wasn’t all formal. As we wandered into nearby greenspace, spring was showing off: pink blossoms, soft grass, and warm golden light wrapped around them like nature’s love letter.

Whether hand in hand beneath a blooming tree or snuggled close between limestone columns, every moment felt relaxed and genuine—just like the two of them.

Why This Session Worked So Well

Kirsten and Alden came into their session prepared and connected. Their outfits were stylish but comfortable, their energy was calm and open, and their natural chemistry made my job incredibly easy. Sessions like this are exactly why I include engagement sessions in all my wedding packages—because when we have time to connect, everything clicks.
