Dani + Ben | Kansas City Engagement Session


I first met Dani when we were both in a wedding together, and we instantly bonded over our shared love for Mac Miller and Mr. Brightside. Ever since, we’ve been besties—so when she asked me to photograph her and Ben’s engagement session, I was completely humbled and beyond honored.


We kicked things off at Shawnee Mission Park, where the lake and stunning fall colors made the perfect backdrop. Their sweet pup, Maggie, joined us for a few photos, and let’s just say—she was not camera shy. 🐕‍🦺


After soaking in the nature vibes, we headed downtown to explore the city streets and capture even more memories. One of my favorite moments? Taking photos in front of Dani’s favorite thrift store. I love when couples incorporate special places that hold meaning for them—it makes the session feel even more personal and authentic.


Dani and Ben, thank you for trusting me with these moments, for sharing your home and your love story with me. Wishing you both a lifetime of happiness, joy, and endless adventures together!
