Sometimes, all it takes is a little creativity and a lot of love to turn an ordinary space into something truly magical. This was the vision behind this wedding editorial, organised by a crew of Kansas City creatives, led by photographers Syd and Sam of The Love Club .
Inspired by Madison Chamberlain’s Madonna Heart veil , the team wanted to reimagine the traditional warehouse wedding with a splash of colour. They brought in faux florals from Pink Peony, ensuring a lush look while keeping things sustainable. “I’m so happy we used faux flowers,” said Syd. “They look amazing and help promote zero waste in the wedding industry. You don’t need real flowers to make an impact!”
They also used temporary stained glass to add a rainbow spin to the warehouse venue. The colorful light which shone through really transformed the space, giving it a unique, magical feel.
“This shoot was full of love and joy,” Sam, the other half of The Love Club duo reflected. “Every vendor worked so hard to bring this together, and this shoot really is the first of its kind in our city.”

Coming across the most amazingly colourful house by chance one day, wedding photographer Shannon Collins dreamed of being able to do a shoot there. Well fate stepped in, making it a possibility, so she knew she had to make it extra magical!
"Last year, I was photographing a couple in Philadelphia for an engagement shoot", wrote Shannon. "On my way home, a few minutes from the location, I drove past a lovely yellow house with tons of pink flamingos scattered across the lawn. I screeched my brakes and drove in reverse so I could capture a quick snapshot of the house. It instantly reminded me of the John Waters film, 'Pink Flamingos' and made me smile."
