Lauren and James

Hello blog world!  I've finally dug myself out from under the mountain of "images to be edited" in my studio.  I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel.  Oh wait, that's just the light from the oncoming train of 2012 weddings!  Ah, well it was good while it lasted. 

So, this is Lauren and James.  Two sweethearts that we shot an epic engagement session for a little while back.  We started in downtown Kansas City and worked our way over to the new Kit Bond Bridge(I know, Kansas Citians refuse to call it anything but the Paseo Bridge!)  James helped to build the bridge, so they wanted to get some shots of it and by the time we got down there, the light was all nice and warm.  I'm really happy with this session.  Have a look!

Austin and Jennie

You may remember Austin and Jennie from a post I made, way back when.  That post was about their engagement session and now I'm posting about their wedding!

This was my first time to shoot a wedding at the Drexel Hall in Kansas City.  It's a cool old building with awesome hardwood floors, huge windows, and a wrap around balcony.  Talk about a sweet spot for a wedding and reception!  This was one smooth wedding.  Austin and Jennie were really patient, dang cute, and just downright hospitable.  Once again, making my job as easy as it can be.  Happy, colorful photos were achieved!  See for yourself...

Amanda and Daniel

This is Amanda and Daniel.  They live in D.C.  Amanda wanted to have her wedding in her parent's over-the-top, beautiful backyard in Topeka, KS, so that's what they did!

It was a bright and sunny day, it was a beautiful setting, there were lovely people all around, a fantastic jazz band playing, and delicious cupcakes(Jenna and I both took samples).  Add all of that up and you get one special wedding.  Almost makes my job easy...

I love when a couple decides to see each other before the ceremony.  I usually get some great expressions from these shots and then the day just seems to unfold a little easier.  Here's the series of shots from Amanda and Daniel's "first look".
