I've been completely swimming in wedding photos for the last month.  Who knew that October had become the new June for weddings?!  October was the busiest month for us this year and I've been eating, breathing, and sleeping wedding photography for two months straight.  Three weddings in Oct. equaled 3,225 images to sort and edit.  It's a mountain of photos I tell ya!

Well I'm taking a break from that to make this update.  Here's a wedding we shot in Topeka last month.  This is Kristen and Kevin.  They were great fun.  There was much laughter, tons of dancing, all on a perfectly sunny fall day.  We really had a blast at this one!  Have a looky.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Albums....(hey, this is what you get!)

Okay, so today I thought I'd make a post about the albums that I design for my brides and grooms.  I design each and every album from scratch.  I don't use yucky, cheesy templates.  Each page layout design comes straight from here!(I'm pointing to my noggin')  Each album is designed with the bride and groom's personality in mind and that makes each one unique.  The albums come in two sizes, 10"x10" and 5"x5"(the 5x5's make nifty parent's albums).  They have a "gutterless" page design, which allows me to do photo spreads that stretch across two pages with only a 1 millimeter gap.   Another cool bit about the albums...the pages lay flat when it's open, amazing!  My favorite cover is the black leather(it's super soft and smells delicious!).  So, enough gabbing, take a look at the albums already...

Each album comes comes with a super cool box.(bonus!)

 

 

Notice the photo going across the gutter...nice!

Super adorable 5x5 album!

Casey and Chris

Chris is a baseball player with hopes of being drafted into the Big Leagues. He had a life long dream of getting married on a baseball field, so that's exactly what he did. He proposed to his high school sweetheart at his hometown baseball stadium and the rest is history!

This was probably the most unique setting for a wedding that I've had the pleasure to shoot. It was not without it's challenges...it was at high noon(not the best light for photography!)and it was 90+ degrees.(there's really no way to make sweat look romantic!) 

They were sweet kids and even though it felt like we were on the surface of the sun, they were patient and willing to find the "best" shots. Here are some that I liked...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Maya and Chetan - The Wedding

Maya and Chetan's big day finally arrived.  This was our first time to shoot a Hindu wedding and what an experience it was!  It was a beautiful event and we felt lucky to be a part of it.  Here are some of my favorites...

 

Melissa and Chris - fun and more fun

Here are some keepers from a wedding right here in Lawrence.  Melissa and Chris are good friends that wanted me to do "my thing".  We tried really hard to get some unique images for them and I think it paid off.  I couldn't have asked for better subjects and we got lucky with the locations.  I am particularly fond of the "Bizarre" building shots.  We heart Melissa and Chris.  It was a good day.

 

  

  

  

   

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

 

E-Session w/ Maya and Chetan

Here is a lovely couple Maya and Chetan.  Met them at the Nelson Atkins Museum to do their engagement session hoping for some sunny weather.  No sun was to be found that day.  It was complete overcast skies, but sometimes that works to our advantage.  Those overcast skies act as a giant light diffuser and really soften things up.  The Nelson grounds are beautiful and the photographic possibilities are endless there.  We drug them all over the place and got some really great stuff.  I really love the simplicity and modern lines of the new Bloch Buildings. 

Their wedding is coming up this weekend and it'll be a first for us to shoot a Hindu ceremony.   Exciting stuff!
