Ashley + Evan
Hey there, Kansas City lovebirds!
I'm Erin Hassett, the creative eye behind Humbly Hewn Wedding Photography, and I'm thrilled to share with you a heartwarming wedding story that took place right here in our beloved city. Join me as we dive into the magical day of Ashley and Evan, a couple whose love radiated warmth even on a chilly early spring day in March 2023.
A Timeless Beginning at Wesley Covenant Chapel
Ashley and Evan's journey to forever began at the charming Wesley Covenant Chapel in Overland Park, Kansas. With its abundance of natural light and exquisite glass details, the chapel provided the perfect backdrop for their intimate ceremony. Dressed in classic elegance, Ashley stunned in an a-line ball gown while Evan exuded sophistication in a black tuxedo with a white shirt and black bow tie. Their choice of purple as a theme added a touch of regal charm to every aspect of their celebration, from the florals to the reception lighting.
Prioritizing Family and Emotion
One of the most touching aspects of Ashley and Evan's wedding day was their unwavering focus on family. From tearful first looks with Ashley's father to the emotional exchange between the bride and groom, every moment was filled with genuine emotion and love. As their photographer, I had the privilege of capturing these precious moments, ensuring they will be cherished for generations to come.
Creativity in Every Shot: Documentary Wedding Photography
Despite the chilly weather, we got creative and played with the natural lighting in the church's foyer for the majority of their portraits. For me, choosing the right light in a space that's comfortable for my clients is paramount. Whether we're indoors or outdoors, it's about making magic happen, regardless of the location. Ashley and Evan's classic portraits inside the church foyer exemplify this approach, showcasing their love in a setting that felt natural and comfortable for them.

From the heartfelt ceremony to the joyous reception, every moment was infused with their unique personalities and love for each other. As their photographer, my goal was to capture their story authentically, ensuring that every image reflected the beauty and emotion of their special day.
Chasing the Sunset: The Importance of Vision
As the day drew to a close, I couldn't help but notice the sunset painting the sky with hues of gold and pink. Despite the cold temperatures, Ashley and Evan trusted me to capture a few final portraits outside. Against all odds, we created magic in the hotel parking lot, with the sunset casting a golden glow behind them. It's a testament to the fact that no matter where you are in Kansas City, the right light and your photographer's vision can transform any backdrop into something truly extraordinary.
