I hardly ever get around to sharing photos of cocktail hour because there’s just SO MANY photos to share from the day, but I figured these deserved to be seen.

The bride’s dad made sure there was plenty of Jameson to go around to cheers with after his toast. Everyone enjoyed that special touch and claimed to be Irish for the evening 🇮🇪

Oakwood Country Club might be one of my favorite reception spaces in KC. Have you been here before??

Took a little trip down I-70 to celebrate Mr. & Mrs. Lydon! 🫶🏼
Funny story… The priest, Fr. Andrew Auer, who celebrated the Lydon’s wedding Mass went to seminary with my husband forever ago. Obviously, he went on to be a priest and my husband did not 😉 BUT when my husband flew over to Rome to propose to me, Fr. Auer was there and was the one to take photos of OUR proposal. He had played in a football game in seminary a few days prior and had broken his thumb… Our proposal photos are blurry as heck 😂 but the memory still makes me smile.
I loved the full circle moment of getting to take photos of him living out his vocation and celebrating the beginning of another wonderful couple’s marriage.

Hi! 👋🏻 It’s me, Mary Kate or MK!

I’m so happy you’re here and following along. I’m the one behind the camera and perpetually terrible at keeping up with posting on Instagram. I’ve been doing this for over 7 years now and feel incredibly blessed by all my wonderful clients/friends. I love light, bright and true to color images and always try to keep things easygoing at your session.

I capture all different stages of your lives and love. Whether you’re just getting married, having a new baby or your kids are grown, I want to help you remember those moments through beautiful images.

I’m so glad you’re here and I hope to see you in front of my camera soon!

Mrs. Molly Darling, Hallelujah 💍

Isn’t that the ultimate married name?! I think I’ll be jealous for the rest of my life 😆
