This past June, we had the incredible honor of photographing the beautiful wedding of Trace and Raine at The Highlands in Valley Center, Kansas. From the moment we arrived, we knew it was going to be an unforgettable day. The venue itself is nothing short of spectacular, with sweeping views that create a perfect backdrop for any wedding. Trace and Raine’s ceremony took place outdoors, surrounded by lush greenery and warm sunshine—a stunning setting for their heartfelt vows. The emotional energy in the air was palpable, and we were so grateful to be able to capture such intimate moments.

As the evening approached, the golden hour light cast a magical glow over everything. We were able to take full advantage of the soft, golden tones for their portraits, making for some truly breathtaking shots. You can’t ask for better lighting to capture the love between two people so clearly, and Trace and Raine made it all the more special with their joy and laughter. The reception was a blast! Friends and family came together to celebrate, and the energy in the room was electric. Between the heartwarming speeches, fun dance moves, and laughter shared between loved ones, it was clear that Trace and Raine had an amazing support system, and their celebration was a true reflection of their love and happiness.

It’s days like these that remind us how lucky we are to do what we do—documenting the most beautiful moments of people’s lives. Congratulations again to Trace and Raine! We’re so grateful to have been a part of your special day.
