Classic Engagement Photos at Hotel Phillips | Micro Wedding & Elopement Photographer in Kansas City and Denver

If you’ve ever dreamed of timeless engagement and wedding photos in a space that feels like it belongs in a movie, Hotel Phillips in downtown Kansas City is one of the Midwest’s best-kept secrets. With its 1920s charm, art deco interior, grand lobby, Crystal Ballroom and speakeasy, it’s a dream location for couples who want timeless and artistic images.

This gorgeous couple chose Hotel Phillips for their engagement portraits because of its Hollywood glam and quite luxury. You don’t need to hike a mountain or fly to a sandy beach for your dream photos. You just need real love and an artist that sees your vision. And for this session, the perfect touch of vintage Kansas City magic.

Why Hotel Phillips is a Hidden Gem for Engagement Photos and Weddings In Kansas City:

This historic downtown Kansas City hotel is elegance with character. The lighting is warm and cinematic. The old elevators still have that old money feel. And the lobby? High ceilings greet you with a huge balcony, vintage furniture, and the kind of grand staircases you only see in old films. It’s a dream space for documentary-and cinematic style photos.

We started their session in the grand lobby, enjoyed the stunning ballroom then snuck off into the cozy hidden speakeasy for a few intimate shots, that gave the whole shoot a nostalgic, editorial feel.
