It was a warm Sunday afternoon on Sept. 8th.  A wedding took place between Lacey Ellington and Nick Tallmon at a gazebo located outside of UMKC's campus.  The temperature reach 104 degrees the hottest day for Kansas City this year.  After the ceremony the bridal party and I photographed in the garden of the gazebo keeping in the shade to stay as cool as we could.  We then returned to Dan Meiner's Studio for a wonderful reception filled with delicious foods and magnificent flowers that adorned the table tops.  The reception opened with the newly married couple's first dance and continued with cake cutting and toasts.  After which was followed by aerialist performances by the bride's friends (Lacey is also an aerialist).  The night rapped up with dancing and good times.  Enjoy!
