A Timeless Kansas Wedding at Cedar Lawn Farms

If you’re searching for a Kansas wedding venue that blends rustic charm with timeless elegance, look no further than Cedar Lawn Farms. Just outside Topeka, this newer venue was the perfect backdrop for Riley and Grady’s heartfelt and sun-drenched June wedding.

Their wedding day, June 7th, 2025, was nothing short of stunning. The couple got the perfect day, with high-70s and sunshine! This really allowed us to have a beautiful outdoor ceremony and a stunning sunset.

Cedar Lawn Farms Wedding Ceremony

Nestled in the rolling Kansas countryside, Cedar Lawn Farms set the tone for a classic and natural wedding day. Riley and Grady chose a simple, fresh palette of whites and greens that paired beautifully with the stunning limestone exterior of the venue!

The couple was very intentional with their day and time spent together! The couple chose to do a first look early in the day! This allowed for ample time together as they took photos with friends and family and prepared for their ceremony!

Outdoor First Dances at Sunset

As the day went on one of my favorite moments of the day came during their dances! The couple chose to do them just outside the barn as the sun was setting. With golden light spilling across the field, Riley and Grady danced as guests looked on, many of them with tears in their eyes. As they danced, I really loved capturing the reactions of their parents and close friends, it was incredibly special.

There was something really special about the couple choosing to share those first moments outside! It’s pretty rare that I get to capture first dances outdoors in natural lighting!

A Modern-Rustic Reception

After the sun dipped below the horizon, the celebration moved into Cedar Lawn Farms’ reception barn, where twinkle lights and natural wood tones gave the space an inviting, homey feel.

The night was filled with great music by Musical Knights DJ, delicious drinks poured by Shot4Shot Bartending, and a cake display from McLain’s Bakery that was almost too pretty to cut into (thought we definitely did)! Riley’s hair was done by Shai McCartney, who brought Riley’s vision to life with a timeless bridal look.

A Late Night Suprise

As the evening wound down, Riley had one last surprise for Grady: a base from a recent Royals baseball game, gifted to Grady, a lifelong baseball fan! It was such a unique and thoughtful touch, one that ended the night on a high note and reminded everyone there just how well these two know and love each other.
