Ashley and Wesley.... and a new studio.

August has been my break from weddings this year.  I sure am glad I didn't have to be out shooting in that crazy hot weather!  Wedding's pick back up with a vengeance in September and October, so I've been using this down time to catch up on all of my personal work, house work, ect.

It has also been nice to have some down time while construction started on my brand NEW STUDIO!  It's hard for me to believe that I've been without a working studio for almost two years.  Moving from Missouri, I had to leave behind my studio and have been without one ever since, but I will not be without one for long.  Six weeks from now, I should be up and running in my very own space!  We designed it ourselves and the construction team broke ground on the project yesterday.  Oh happy days!

Now, here's a wedding that we shot a while back.  It was one of the most fun weddings we've experienced.  Wesley is from South Africa and Ashley is from Kansas.  They sang the South African national anthem at the reception for cryin' out loud!  It was pretty neat.  Their wedding was in a beautiful church in Topeka and the reception was here in Lawrence at the lovely Eldridge Hotel.  They were a lot of fun and honestly, you'd be hard pressed to meet a sweeter couple.  The photos turned out great...have a look!

Rachel and Luke

Here's a lovely little wedding we shot a while back.  Rachel and Luke were a sweet couple.  Aside from the 30mph winds, the day went beautifully.  We got some really great shots at the Danforth.(neat little chapel on KU's campus)  There's a hallway in this chapel, that could possibly be my favorite little hallway to make images in.  The light is always soft, there are stone walls, dark wood...it's just dramatic. So, if you're getting married at the Danforth and don't already have a photographer, I'm your man.

Here are a few images that I liked...
