Andrea and Andy - a winter wedding

The sun is shining and the snow is melting outside my studio, but before it's gone, I wanted to share some images from a wedding we shot back in December...

We traveled to Manhattan, KS on Dec. 21st, under the threat of a winter storm advisory.  There we met Andy and Andrea, a very sweet and beautiful couple.  It was cold.  It was starting to sleet.  There was ice on the ground.  Then it started really snowing, like, blizzard snowing.  The conditions weren't good, to say the least, but Andy and Andrea were all smiles.  When we asked them if they would mind getting out in the road in the snowstorm for a few shots, they were excited to do it.  It was lucky for me, as I took one of my most favorite series of wedding images to date.  It was seriously snowing and I captured a couple of moments with them that gave/give me goosebumps.  The wedding went off without a hitch and we got some really great images.

When it was time for us to leave at the end of the night, we quickly realized we weren't getting out of Manhattan.  The storm was at full on scary blizzard status, so Jenna and I found a hotel room, ventured out to downtown Manhattan for dinner, and had our own romantic night.  It was a really great day.
