A Wedding with Fireworks

On July 3rd Ginna and Hunter created a day full of memories. Ginna and Hunter were wed at the St Mary's Catholic Church in Joplin, MO. After the ceremony they hosted a grand reception at the I do Event and Wedding center.

It all started one summer at church camp back in 2014. As Camp Staff members, Ginna and her Sister had a lot of fun. This one Staff member kept picking on Ginna's Sister. Maybe because she was the director, I don't know. Well, Ginna met Hunter. Sometime during the summer, Hunter declared to the Sister that he would be dating Ginna before the camp was over. As you might have guessed, that didn't go over well. Sister was not a fan. Just to annoy her, Ginna went on that date! There must have been a spark because look where they are now!

"When I saw you I fell in love, and you smiled because you knew."

The day came for Hunter's big plan for the proposal. One morning Hunter took Ginna to the Overland Park Botanical Gardens for a date. For some reason, her Sister and Hunter's Best friend were there taking photos. Ginna knew what was coming. She said, "Yes"! Afterward, they met all the family for a large brunch celebration.

The I Do Event and Wedding center has some great photo opportunities. We had so much fun taking photos by the vintage car. Ginna and Hunter cut the cake by a beautiful backdrop provided by the venue. After dinner and cake the couple and I snuck out for sunset photos in a nearby field. The wedding day wrapped up with a display of fireworks. What a beautiful way to end the day!
