Weddings at Gather at Red Cedar Gardens: Where Nature Meets Romance
A Stunning Ceremony Backdrop Amongst the Trees
Trish and Jordan got married under the beautiful, giant elm tree on the property. The towering elm tree and the line of forest behind it made a dreamy backdrop for their Kansas wedding. Though everyone was hoping for cooler weather and warmer colors in the leaves, their sunny ceremony was perfect. From the perspective of a Kansas City wedding photographer, it’s easy to imagine how vibrant the property becomes when all the leaves on the trees have changed!
Celebrating in the Forest
The reception set up under the canopy of the small forest on the property made the scene feel enchanting. The dinner tables shimmered in the remaining light of golden hour and glowed in candle light as dusk turned to dark. The little forest created an atmosphere that was both intimate and very intentional; everyone was gathered closely together to celebrate Trish and Jordan.
A Hidden Gem Among Kansas Wedding Venues
Fall Wedding Photography Opportunities Throughout the Venue
Photographing this fall wedding at Gather at Red Cedar Gardens was my first experience there, and I loved every second of it. This hidden gem of a wedding venue is a dream! As a Kansas City wedding photographer, venues that help make weddings as seamless as possible and have dynamic spaces for photography rank high in my book. The ceremony spot under the giant elm is a beautiful area all throughout the day for photos, but it becomes magical as the sun starts to set behind the forest line. The garden where Trish and Jordan had their first look and exchanged their private vows is stunning all year round, with varying blooms through spring and summer and trees that change colors in autumn. The forest that hosts receptions is pure romance under the twinkle lights and amidst the glow of candles. What’s not to love about this Kansas wedding venue?

“Sara is the most incredible photographer, and just an overall wonderful person! We used Sara for our engagement photos, boudoir photos, and our wedding – and we’re obsessed with every photo… She was so helpful planning the timeline of our wedding. The day of, she did a great job keeping us on track, but also letting us just live in the moment and not overwhelm us with getting every shot.

She’s also incredibly creative, always exploring new styles to capture moments beautifully. Her photographs feel so natural and genuinely reflect the emotions of the celebration.
